00:02:27Term insurance from Policy Bazaar. Welcome
00:02:33as a child turns three,
00:03:10to Defense Dynamics, and I'm
00:03:13Danvir Singh from New Delhi.
00:03:25far away from Indian
00:03:36In today's era, military power is not determined by weapons alone, but
00:03:39by technology, innovation, and defense manufacturing capability.
00:03:43In such a time, India's defense ecosystem
00:03:46is going through a decisive phase. From the development of indigenous fighter jet engines
00:03:50to making the Indian Navy a strong blue water navy
00:03:54and developing hypersonic
00:03:58maritime strike capability,
00:04:01is not to compete India is laying a strong foundation for future military
00:04:04power. So today, in this episode, we will know
00:04:07how Kaveri 2.0 can bring India closer to self-reliance
00:04:11in the field of aero engines.
00:04:12and strengthen its role We will also understand
00:04:14why the expansion of the Indian Navy to 200 warships
00:04:18is strategically very important
00:04:21amidst China's increasing maritime presence.
00:04:24And besides this, we will talk about the 1500 km range
00:04:27long-range anti-ship hypersonic missile
00:04:31which can give new strength to India's maritime
00:04:34strike capability
00:04:37mastering advanced in the Indo-Pacific. And in My Tech, we will discuss
00:04:39an important question: Can Turkey's
00:04:43Kaan fighter learn any lessons from the AMCA program
00:04:47and move forward quickly?
00:04:51Developing
00:04:51an indigenous fighter jet engine
00:04:58continuous investment and is one of India's biggest technological challenges.
00:05:00The original Kaveri engine
00:05:04could not achieve the required thrust for the Tejas
00:05:07Light Combat Aircraft, but this program
00:05:11never stopped. Now GTRE, that is, Gas
00:05:15Turbine Research Establishment, is working on Kaveri 2.0.
00:05:18A completely new engine core is being
00:05:22developed, which in the future can replace
00:05:26the American F404 engine
00:05:29in the Tejas Mark 1A during mid-life upgrades.
00:05:33In
00:05:41decades, India has made remarkable progress in the field of fighter
00:05:45aircraft, missiles, radar and modern avionics,
00:05:48but the most complex part of modern combat
00:05:52aircraft, the jet engine, is still dependent
00:05:55on foreign suppliers. The Kaveri engine program
00:05:59was started in the late 1980s
00:06:03with the objective of providing an indigenous engine
00:06:06for the Light Combat Aircraft, but despite years of development,
00:06:11thrust and performance for frontline fighters.
00:06:15Nevertheless, this program was not in vain.
00:06:18It developed compressor
00:06:22expertise. This experience is now forming the strong
00:06:25foundation of Kaveri 2.0. GTRE is now
00:06:28working on developing a completely new engine core
00:06:31instead of upgrading the existing Kaveri engine.
00:06:35Its goal is to develop
00:06:38a modern turbofan engine whose capability
00:06:43is equivalent to the F404 engine
00:06:46used in the Tejas Mark 1A.
00:06:50Key technologies being incorporated in Kaveri 2.0
00:06:53include advanced high-pressure
00:06:57compressor technology, improved combustion
00:06:59efficiency, higher
00:07:03turbine inlet temperature, single-crystal
00:07:06turbine blades, advanced thermal barrier coating,
00:07:10state-of-the-art FADEC
00:07:13(Full Authority Digital Engine
00:07:15Control), and improved thrust-to-weight ratio and
00:07:19fuel efficiency. This new engine core
00:07:23will also lay a significant technical foundation
00:07:26for engines to be developed for AMCA
00:07:30and other indigenous combat aircraft in the future.
00:07:34Instead of immediately replacing the F404 engine,
00:07:37the possibility of incorporating Kaveri 2.0 during
00:07:41the Tejas Mark 1A mid-life upgrade
00:07:44(MLU) is being considered. This strategy
00:07:48has several advantages. It will give
00:07:52GTRE additional time to fully mature the engine
00:07:56through extensive ground and flight testing.
00:08:00At the same time, the existing production of Tejas
00:08:03will not be affected. This will give the Indian Air Force
00:08:07the opportunity to adopt the indigenous engine
00:08:11only when it has fully proven its reliability.
00:08:14If development proceeds according to plan,
00:08:18then in the next decade, when the first
00:08:22Tejas Mark 1A undergoes mid-life
00:08:25upgrade, Kaveri 2.0 could be ready
00:08:29for operational induction.
00:08:32An indigenous jet engine
00:08:35can completely transform
00:08:37India's aerospace
00:08:40ecosystem. This will reduce
00:08:43dependence on foreign suppliers, reduce
00:08:47challenges related to sanctions and export controls,
00:08:50strengthen India's defense industrial base,
00:08:53and develop the country's own capability
00:08:57in one of the world's most advanced technologies.
00:09:01The experience gained from this program
00:09:05will also strengthen several important
00:09:08future projects, including the Advanced Medium
00:09:11Combat Aircraft (AMCA), Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter
00:09:15(TEDBF), Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles
00:09:19(UCAVs), and future transport and unmanned
00:09:23aircraft. Very few countries in the world
00:09:26have the ability to design modern fighter engines.
00:09:30The development of the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF),
00:09:34Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), and future
00:09:37transport and unmanned aircraft is encouraging,
00:09:41but challenges are also not few. Developing
00:09:45a modern fighter engine requires
00:09:50metallurgy, precision manufacturing, high-temperature
00:09:53materials, turbine cooling technology, and rigorous testing
00:09:56for years in extremely harsh conditions.
00:10:00Engine development is considered
00:10:04one of the most complex engineering processes
00:10:07in the world. It requires
00:10:10sustained effort for a long time. The success
00:10:14of this program will depend not only
00:10:18on GT and DRDO, but also
00:10:21on strong cooperation with Indian industries,
00:10:25academic institutions, and, where necessary,
00:10:30The story of Kaveri
00:10:32has often been seen
00:10:35as one of unfulfilled hopes, but from
00:10:39a different perspective, it is a story of continuous
00:10:43effort and gaining technical experience.
00:10:46With Kaveri 2.0, India is not just trying
00:10:50to develop a new jet engine, but is moving
00:10:53towards mastering one of the most complex
00:10:57capabilities of aerospace technology.
00:11:01The Indian Navy
00:11:02is preparing
00:11:07for its biggest expansion since independence.
00:11:10Amidst the increasing deployment of China's
00:11:14People's Liberation Army Navy, which has become
00:11:17the world's largest navy, in the Indian Ocean region,
00:11:21India is rapidly moving towards building
00:11:25a fleet of 200 warships in the next decade.
00:11:28In
00:11:35the Indo-Pacific, the balance of maritime power is rapidly
00:11:39shifting towards China's research vessels, intelligence ships, and
00:11:42submarines, whose deployment is also continuously increasing.
00:11:46On the other hand, Pakistan
00:11:50fleet with frigates, submarines, and long-range anti-ship missiles
00:11:53made in China. In such a situation, protecting its nearly
00:11:5795% maritime trade and
00:12:00Exclusive Economic Zone has become a strategic
00:12:04necessity for India. Currently, the Indian Navy
00:12:07has about 130 to 140
00:12:09warships, but the long-term goal is to increase
00:12:12it to about 200 warships.
00:12:16Under this, several large platforms are under construction
00:12:19or in an advanced planning stage, which includes
00:12:23the Nilgiri-class Project 17
00:12:55will enhance the ability to conduct
00:12:57operations.
00:13:00The most important aspect of this expansion is that in the coming
00:13:04times, most of the new platforms will be manufactured in India.
00:13:07Several major shipyards will play a crucial
00:13:11role, including Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders
00:13:14Limited, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Cochin
00:13:17Shipyard Limited, Goa Shipyard Limited, and
00:13:21Hindustan Shipyard Limited. This indigenous initiative
00:13:25will strengthen the government's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' vision,
00:13:28create high-skilled employment opportunities, strengthen
00:13:32India's defense industrial ecosystem, and reduce
00:13:35dependence on foreign suppliers.
00:13:37The future naval fleet is being prepared
00:13:41on the basis of network-centric warfare. This includes
00:13:45key capabilities such as carrier battle
00:13:48groups, long-range anti-ship missiles,
00:13:52unmanned surface vessels, underwater drones,
00:13:55AI-enabled combat management systems, integrated
00:13:59maritime surveillance, long endurance naval
00:14:02helicopters, and multi-domain operations,
00:14:06which will include space, cyber, and underwater warfare. The Indian
00:14:10Navy is also incorporating indigenous systems
00:14:13like BrahMos, long-range surface-to-air missiles, MF
00:14:17STAR radars, and modern electronic warfare
00:14:20suites into its fleet. The
00:14:23objective of this expansion
00:14:26ship-for-ship with China. Instead,
00:14:30India aims to maintain credible maritime
00:14:33superiority in the Indian Ocean Region
00:14:37as a reliable security provider for friendly
00:14:41countries. A strong Indian Navy will protect
00:14:44important sea lanes of communication, strengthen
00:14:48the defense of island territories, enhance
00:14:51deterrent capabilities, strengthen Quad cooperation,
00:14:55and enable rapid humanitarian assistance
00:14:58and disaster relief operations
00:15:02across the region.
00:15:03History tells us that
00:15:07for countries aspiring to global influence,
00:15:10it is essential to first secure their surrounding
00:15:14maritime areas. Amidst China's
00:15:17increasing maritime presence, India's strategy is clear:
00:15:20not just to build more ships, but to create
00:15:24a modern, indigenous, and networked navy
00:15:27that will be capable of protecting the country's
00:15:31strategic interests for decades
00:15:34to come. India is strengthening
00:15:42its capabilities in the Indian Ocean region not only through
00:15:46a large naval fleet, but also through long-range and high-speed
00:15:49weapons. In this direction,
00:15:53an ambitious project is the Long Range
00:15:56Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). This is a hypersonic
00:15:59weapon that is reportedly
00:16:02capable of targeting enemy warships
00:16:06at a distance of up to 1500 kilometers.
00:16:10In modern naval
00:16:22warfare, superiority will now be determined by who can
00:16:25detect, target, and strike first.
00:16:29Aircraft carriers, destroyers, and amphibious
00:16:32assault ships are protected by layered defense systems
00:16:36that can intercept traditional anti-ship missiles.
00:16:40To penetrate these defense systems,
00:16:43navies around the world are investing in hypersonic
00:16:47weapons that are equipped with extreme
00:16:50speed, enhanced maneuverability, and long-range
00:16:53capability. India's long-range anti-shipping
00:16:57missile's ability to fly at hypersonic
00:17:00speeds is a significant step in this direction.
00:17:04It will be extremely difficult to intercept,
00:17:07and the time available for the enemy to react
00:17:11will be significantly reduced.
00:17:15of about 1500 kilometers, this missile can give the Indian
00:17:18Navy the ability to target enemy naval
00:17:21formations located far away from the traditional
00:17:25battle space. Such a capability will help
00:17:29India prevent the enemy fleet from reaching critical
00:17:33sea lanes, provide protection to carrier battle
00:17:36groups from standoff distances, secure
00:17:40important sea lines of communication, and bring threats
00:17:43within range even before they approach
00:17:47the Indian Ocean areas. One of the biggest advantages
00:17:51of this missile is its flexibility.
00:17:55The Long Range Anti-Ship Missile can be launched from platforms
00:17:59such as Indian Navy destroyers and frigates, future
00:18:02submarines, long-range maritime patrol aircraft,
00:18:06and land-based
00:18:37through regular deployments. Its presence
00:18:41in the Indian Ocean region is increasing.
00:18:45The 1500 kilometer hypersonic anti-ship
00:18:48missile capability can significantly strengthen
00:18:52India's Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy.
00:18:55This can force enemy naval
00:18:59forces to operate
00:19:02maritime areas. BrahMos
00:19:05carrier aviation
00:20:07strategy's main focus has been on coastal
00:20:11defense, but now this strategy is shifting
00:20:14towards sea control and long-range maritime denial capability.
00:20:17The proposed 1500 kilometer range
00:20:21LRASHM is not just another missile, but it is
00:20:24India's commitment to shaping the security architecture
00:20:27of the Indian Ocean and the wider Indo-Pacific
00:20:31and is capable of developing it.
00:20:35However, there is often a long
00:20:37gap between strategic projects, innovation, and operational
00:20:41induction. Turkey's fifth-generation
00:20:45Kaan fighter offers an important lesson for India.
00:20:47Despite having a small
00:20:50aerospace ecosystem, it prioritized
00:20:53industrial participation and parallel
00:20:57development. The question is not about imitating
00:21:00Turkey, but what the AMCA program
00:21:04can learn from it. Relying
00:21:07on one or two prototypes slows down testing.
00:21:11The Kaan program is developing multiple
00:21:15flying prototypes for different types of testing. In AMCA,
00:21:18adopting parallel prototype production
00:21:22will allow several flight tests to run simultaneously,
00:21:25reduce timelines, and bring technical
00:21:29issues to light sooner. The AMCA's indigenous
00:21:32120 kN engine will take time. Kaan chose imported
00:21:36engines for initial flights and kept indigenous
00:21:40engine development in parallel. India can also use
00:21:43the GF414 engine in initial squadrons
00:21:47and incorporate the indigenous engine in later production
00:21:50blocks. This will prevent unnecessary
00:21:54delays in induction. Turkey has gained momentum
00:21:57through government and private industry partnerships.
00:22:01Companies like Tata, L&T, Mahindra Defense, Bharat
00:22:04Forge, Dynamatic, and MSMEs should not just be
00:22:08suppliers, but major manufacturing partners
00:22:11for fuselage, wings, mission systems, composite
00:22:15structures, and assembly lines. This will rapidly
00:22:17increase both production capacity and
00:22:21delivery speed. Prototypes are available,
00:22:24but the country's defense requires them, so
00:22:30supply chain, vendor network automation,
00:22:33and production planning should also begin. The goal
00:22:37should be development and manufacturing
00:22:40simultaneously. China is rapidly incorporating
00:22:43fifth-generation fighters, and Pakistan is also
00:22:47modernizing its air force very quickly.
00:23:20How quickly can it translate its ideas
00:23:23into operational capability? For India, the goal is clear:
00:23:26not just to become a country that designs advanced
00:23:30military technology, but to acquire the capability to manufacture
00:23:33and field them quickly and self-reliantly.
00:23:36So with this, this episode of Defense
00:23:40Dynamics ends here.
00:23:43We will meet again next week with new defense stories
00:23:47and their analysis. Until then, please
00:23:51excuse me. Jai Hind.
