The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) meeting under the chairmanship of Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh, was held on July 26, 2022. Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for Capital Acquisition Proposals of the Armed Forces amounting to Rs 28,732 crore were accorded by the DAC in this meeting under Buy (Indian IDDM) and Buy (Indian) categories giving a further boost to ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in Defence.
Among the proposals approved by DAC in the meeting are three proposals of the Indian Army, viz. Guided Extended Range Rocket Ammunition, Area Denial Munition Type I and Infantry Combat Vehicle – Command have been designed and developed by DRDO. The total value of these three proposals is Rs 8,599 crore. Guided Extended Range Rocket Ammunition has the range of 75 kms with accuracy of 40 meters. The Aerial Denial Munition Type I Rocket Ammunition contains dual purpose sub munitions capable of neutralizing both tanks and armoured personnel carriers as well as B vehicle entrenched troops. The Infantry Combat Vehicle – Command is equipped with technology to collect, disseminate, share and present real time information to commanders to facilitate quick decision making for execution of tasks.
Considering the demand of enhanced protection against the threat of enemy snipers to our troops deployed along the Line of Control and in close combat operations in counter terrorism scenario, DAC accorded AoN for Bullet Proof Jackets with Indian Standard BIS VI level of protection. To combat the current complex paradigm of conventional and hybrid warfare and counter terrorism at the borders, AoN for induction of approx. four lakh of Close Quarter Battle Carbines for the Services has also been accorded by the DAC. This is set to provide major impetus to the small arms manufacturing industry in India and enhancing ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in small arms.
In the recent conflicts across the world, drone technology proved to be a force multiplier in military operations. Accordingly, to augment Indian Army’s capability in modern warfare, AoN for procurement of Autonomous Surveillance and Armed Drone Swarms has been accorded by the DAC under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category.
The DAC also approved Navy’s proposal to procure upgraded 1250KW capacity Marine Gas Turbine Generator for power generation application onboard Kolkata class of ships through Indian Industry. This will give a major boost to indigenous manufacturing of gas turbine generators.
In order to enhance the security in the coastal region of the country, the DAC also approved the proposal of procurement of 14 Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) for Indian Coast Guard under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) with 60% IC.

Space Situational Awareness: for ISRO NETRA?
CMS16A: I guess Brahmaputra class MLU is due.
Multi-Function Radar- VLSRSAM: Finally a modern Naval radar for smaller vessels?
GAN Based Module for AAAU: For Uttam Mk2?
CBTC Radio System: an Indigenous one will surely help in widespread use in our suburban railways & metros
What is Single Combat Vehicle, BTW?

Indian Navy’s AK-630 gun gets first made in India ammunition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India in the defence sector received a major boost as the Indian Navy received the first-ever completely made in India 30mm ammunition. The ammunition will be used in AK-630 guns, which is fitted on warships.“Satyanarayan Nuwal, CMD of the Economic Explosives Limited, handed over the first consignment of the ammunition to the Navy’s Chief Vice Admiral SN Ghormade,” the Indian Navy said in a release.
Speaking on occasion, Vice Admiral Ghormade said, “This is a major achievement for the country that private industry has developed fully indigenous ammunition. It has been done in 12 months, and all components are indigenous.”
The Navy said that it was the first time that the services had placed an order on the Indian private industry to deliver complete gun ammunition and completed it within a record time of 12 months.
"The Indian Navy, in its pursuit of atmanirbharta by fostering the industry, provided technical support in terms of finalisation of drawings, design specifications, inspection tools, proof and testing of ammunition,” the Navy said.
"With the collaborative approach, the Indian Navy has successfully developed an alternate supply source for 30mm ammunition," it added.
