PH likely to sign BrahMos missiles deal with India in 2020
The Philippines and India are likely to reach a deal for the BrahMos cruise missiles in 2020, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Monday.
The contract signing for the supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India and Russia is seen to happen in the first or second quarter of the year through a government-to-government deal, he told reporters.
Apart from the Philippines, countries like Thailand and Vietnam have reportedly shown interest to purchase the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile – which has yet to see the first foreign country to acquire this capability.
The Philippines is looking to acquire two batteries, Lorenzana said. The missiles are envisioned to equip the Land-Based Missile System Battery unit activated by the
Philippine Army in October. A mock-up of the land-based version of BrahMos mounted on a truck launcher system was put on
display at a two-day defense expo in Taguig City in early December. According to a timeline displayed at the expo, the Army sees the delivery of the equipment by 2024.
A mock-up of BrahMos land-based anti-ship missile was featured at PH Army’s capability expo. Talks are underway w/ India for the possible purchase of 1 battery. The Army activated 1st Land-Based Missile System Battery in October in anticipation of its acquisition.
The missile system, which can be used for coastal defense and ground attack, would boost the Philippines’ firepower capability in the face of territorial threats.
The Philippines and India have stepped up its defense engagements in recent years. In 2017, the two countries signed a defense and logistics agreement.
India “desires of upping our engagements” with the Philippines in many folds, New Delhi ambassador to Manila Jaideep Madumzar said last week at a forum at the National Defense College of the Philippines.
Indian ambassador to Manila Jaideep Madumzar says they are “upping engagements” with the Philippines. Implementing arrangements for the future purchase of defense materiel & equipment are almost finalized .
He said a joint defense cooperation committee is set to meet in January. India is also looking forward to participating in many defense projects of the Philippines. “Implementing arrangements for the purchase of defense materiel and equipment are almost
finalized,” Madumzar said. https://www.defencenews.in/article/PH-likely-to-sign-BrahMos-missiles-deal-with-India-in-2020-808442

IIT Madras hosts High Energy Materials Conference and Exhibit (HEMCE 2019)
Chennai: Indian Institute of Technology Madras is hosting the High Energy Materials Conference and Exhibit (HEMCE 2019) from 16th to 18th December 2019 in collaboration with Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SHAR, and High Energy Materials Society of India (HEMSI). The conference is a forum for specialists in high energy materials from all over the world to present the latest progress and developments in the field.
HEMSI is a pioneering society committed to the cause of development of the High Energy Materials like rocket propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. The society has an active membership of more than 1000 scientists, technologists and academicians.
Delivering the Inaugural Address on Monday (16th December 2019), His Excellency Shri Banwarilal Purohit, Governor of Tamil Nadu, who was the Chief Guest, said, “This is an important gathering of our scientific fraternity to foster research and innovations. India, with its sensitive neighbourhood, requires high energy materials such as propellants and explosives to drive national security and technological and scientific prowess. The SHAR Space Centre at Sriharikota is now well known throughout the world thanks to the work of the scientists. These Conference enables constructive collaboration between scientists across the world and help keep upto date with latest advancements in the field.”
Further, His Excellency Shri Banwarilal Purohit added, “IIT Madras has been in the forefront of research in high energy materials for three decades. It has set up advanced testing facility in the campus and we are proud of the work it has done in this field. This conference will provide a great opportunity for young minds to interact with legends in the field. The exhibition being held as part of the conference will feature many technologies developed by Indian scientists.”
HEMSI organizes international conference-cum-exhibition once in two years with the participation of around 500 delegates from India and abroad. This year, it is being held at IIT Madras.
Addressing the Conference, Shri M.S.R. Prasad, Director General, Missile and Strategic systems, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said, “DRDO has been actively working in high energy materials for missiles and armament materials. It involves a lot of effort to develop different types of propellants for different types of missiles. HMRL, Pune, has put in a lot of R&D to develop smoke-less, and other type of propellants besides propellants for ramjet technology, which is going to be a game-changer for air launch systems. It is for the industry to ensure quality raw materials are applied so that there is high quality in propellants. Focussed R&D has to be carried in this field and DRDO has set up Centres of Excellences in various institutions including IIT Madras and IIT Bombay.”
An Armament Display along with an Industry Meet was also organized on 16th December 2019 with leaders from propellant and explosive industry had a discussion with end users of Armed forces (Lt. Gen. S S Hasbanis, PVSM, VSM, ADC) on how to take the Indian Propellant and Explosive industry forward.
Speaking later, Shri. A. Rajarajan, Director, Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), ISRO, said, “Around 60 to 70 per cent of the fuels for rockets that leave the atmosphere is spent in the first 80 km to escape earth’s gravity. We have reached a fair amount of efficiency in solid propellants and are among the leading nations in the world. The SDSC is the largest producer of solid propellants in the
7
country, producing nearly 2,000 tonnes. We are glad to know that industries are coming forward to work in this field. I will convey my gratitude to IIT Madras, as the SDSC has benefitted from collaboration with its faculty. We have to develop green fuels and I wish for the conference to look into this area.”
Shri V. Ranganathan, Chairman, Organizing Committee, HEMCE 2019, delivered the welcome address. Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT Madras, also unveiled a souvenir for HEMCE 2019. Shri. A. Rajarajan released a CD containing the proceedings of this Conference.
Delivering the Inaugural Address, Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT Madras, said, “It is not common for an educational institution to undertake research in high energy materials. IIT Madras is among the only few higher education institutions in India to have a research group in this are as this is a very specialized area.”
Shri. KPS Murthy, Director, High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), DRDO, said, “Since several centuries, high energy materials have played an important role in progress of the society. Today, a revolution in defence is underway. While advances in communications and technology have enhanced combat efficiency, it is the advances in high energy materials that have dictated advances in battlefield. The theme of this conference is to explore the innate potential of high energy materials. As we strive for progress, we should also development green and environment-friendly materials. High energy materials have been applied to many programs of defence and space sectors. The production of high energy materials are no longer the monopoly of the Government with private sectors also setting up huge facilities for the same.” https://indiaeducationdiary.in/iit-madras-hosts-high-energy-materials-conference-and-exhibit-hemce-2019/

“Lot of lip service regarding make in India programme”: Air Force Chief
“If all people works on this route, we would be abundant,” Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria mentioned
By Preet Delhi: Pretty a couple of lip provider is being performed concerning the ”Contrivance in India”
programme in phrases of environment up indigenous fingers platforms in the country, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria mentioned on Monday, stressing that everybody organisations and private companies could possibly well well also indifferent work together for results.
Furthermore, the Indian Air Drive (IAF) chief mentioned that there’s rarely always a quiz of parity between the Pakistan Air Drive and the IAF because the frail turned into once not in a dwelling to hit a single aim at some stage in post-Balakot operations.
At some stage in the “Aaj Tak Agenda” programme, the IAF chief mentioned, “Everybody has to work on this route (of indigenous construction). We have given our toughen. DRDO has to invent a timeline… PSUs wants to be impressed for non-public sector participation.”
“Appropriate now, on this ”Contrivance in India” and indigenisation (programme), a form of lip provider is being performed. Our intentions are very correct nevertheless virtually, the work is going down extraordinarily slowly. If all people works on this route, we would be abundant,” he added.

INS Viraat unsold at auction By Prateek Salunke
Mumbai: Historic aircraft carrier INS Viraat remained unsold after Tuesday’s auction because bids did not meet expectation. The decision to sell INS Viraat for scrap was announced in Parliament, in July. According to state-owned, e-commerce company, Metal Scrap Trade Corporation Limited (MSTC), another auction will be held to sell the aircraft carrier.
The e-auction of INS Viraat was conducted on Tuesday, between 12pm and 4pm, by MSTC. “We did not get the expected selling price. There will be another auction,” said a source privy to the development. While clarifying that there was no fixed price , the source said, “There is a confidential price which is expected to be quoted during the e-auction and the computer rejects it [the bid] if it is not desirable.”
Originally commissioned as the HMS Hermes of the British Royal Navy in 1959, INS Viraat holds the Guinness record for being the oldest serving warship in the world and is affectionately known as the ‘Grand Old Lady’. It entered service with the Indian Navy in 1987 and was decommissioned in 2017 after spending spent nearly 2,250 days at sea and sailing 5,88,288 nautical miles. INS Viraat was deployed for peace-keeping operations off Sri Lanka and during the Kargil War in the 1990s. Aircraft like Sea Harriers, White Tigers, Seaking 42B, Seaking 42C and Chetak helicopters have operated from the warship. Under the Indian Navy, aircraft have clocked more than 22,034 hours of flying from INS Viraat’s decks.
Prior to the auction on Tuesday, the carrier was made available for inspection at Naval Dockyard, Mumbai. Most of the equipment – including its main machinery and auxiliaries, propellers, weapons and sensors, communication, navigators, lifesaving equipment, motors and boats – have been removed or cannibalized.
Interested bidders were allowed to participate in the e-auction process by paying pre-bid earnest money deposit (EMD) of ₹ 5.30 crore. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ins-viraat-unsold-at-auction/story-H4a4mXcHRFsQCXfeZmGQZN.html

India, US 2+2 dialogue will be productive: Officials External affairs minister S Jaishankar along with defence minister Rajnath Singh would be hosted by their American counterparts Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and defense
secretary Mark Esper at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department on Wednesday Washington: The first-ever Indo-US ministerial 2+2 dialogue on American soil is expected to be a
“highly qualitative and productive” meeting during which some key agreements that will augment the bilateral security ties could be signed, according to senior officials.
External affairs minister S Jaishankar along with defence minister Rajnath Singh would be hosted by their American counterparts Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and defense secretary Mark Esper at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department on Wednesday.
“The 2+2 dialogue is the highest-level institutional mechanism between India and USA that brings together our perspectives on foreign policy, defence and strategic issues. This is the first time such a meeting is taking place in the USA,” said the Indian Ambassador here Harsh Vardhan Shringla. “A lot of progress has been made in the areas of foreign policy and defence between our two countries and we are looking forward to a highly qualitative meeting,” Shringla told PTI ahead of the 2+2 meeting.
Meanwhile, Union minister Rajnath Singh addressed Indian Americans at a gathering in New York on Monday, on his way to Washington DC for the second edition of the 2+2 ministerial meeting. Singh pushed back against criticism of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as anti-Muslim and sought to portray it as a measure meant only for victims of religious persecution in neighbouring Muslim-majority countries that he described as “theocratic”.
The first 2+2 was held in New Delhi September last year after the mechanism was approved by PM Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.The 2+2 on December 18 comes after a record four meetings between Modi and Trump this year.
The fact that the meeting is occurring is a success in itself and testament to the priority both the US and India place on the relationship and cooperating to advance their common interests, said Joe Felter, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for South and Southeast Asia.
The two nations are expected to announce the signing of the Industrial Security Annex , an enabling pact that will allow American manufacturers of defense equipment to work with Indian private sector companies. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/india-us-2-2-dialogue-will-be-productive-officials/story-ZPpaXghgGIHTsjP3X5MrkL.html
