Aatmanirbhar Bharat: MoD signs contract with BEL for 13 Lynx-U2 Fire Control Systems for Indian Navy worth Rs 1,700 crore
Posted On: 30 MAR 2023 1:55PM by PIB Delhi
Ministry of Defence, on March 30, 2023, signed a contract with Bharat Electronics Limited, Bangalore for procurement of 13 Lynx-U2 Fire Control Systems for Indian Navy at a total cost of over Rs 1,700 crore under Buy {Indian – IDMM (Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured)} category. The Lynx-U2 System is a Naval Gun Fire Control System designed and developed indigenously. It is capable of accurately tracking and engaging targets amidst sea clutter as well as air/surface targets.

The 4th generation, completely indigenous systems, will be installed on New Generation Offshore Patrol Vessels to be built indigenously at Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers and Goa Shipyard Limited. This move will generate an employment of two lakh man-days over a period of four years and encourage active participation of various Indian industries, including MSMEs, thus significantly contributing to the Government’s efforts to achieve ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in defence.

I believe 11 units will be for NG OPV.

Remaining 2 will be used on 2 Talwars currently under construction at GSL.

In this pic the vessel in the background, imo it's the Fast Patrol Vessel under construction for Coast Guard.

Yep, say that.

If the P17A program is any indication, modular or non-modular it makes no difference to the actual timeline as far as DPSU yards are concerned.

Which is very unfortunate. In case of the P-17A, the hull block construction happened quickly enough. But the procurement & management of major components like guns, missiles & radars have been delayed repeatedly.

Did it?

INS Shivalik
Laid down - July 2001
Launched - April 2003
(1 year, 9 months)

INS Nilgiri
Laid down - December 2017
Launched - September 2019
(1 year, 9 months)

Our 'launches' happen without any of the sensors & weapons so they can't be an excuse if we're only counting the time up to the launch.

I don't know how or where they've messed up, but they have.

Really wish we had a Pvt yard like L&T Kattupalli building major surface combatants.
