INS KAMORTA : INDIA'S SUBMARINE
INS KAMORTA : INDIA'S SUBMARINE KILLER: TOP 5 FACTS
INTRODUCTION:
THE ASW OR ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE SHIP, KAMORTA CLASS HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST THE INCREASING THREAT OF MODERN SUBMARINES DESIGNED BY RIVAL COUNTRIES.
THE KAMORTA HAS A DISPLACEMENT OF 3400 TONS, A LENGTH OF 109 M AND A BEAM OF 13 M.
IT HAS A SPEED OF 32 KNOTS AND RANGE OF 6500 KILOMETERS
THE KAMORTA HAS OVER 90% INDIGENOUS CONTENT AND IS CAPABLE OF BLUE WATER OPERATIONS.
ASW: PAST AND FUTURE:
SINCE 1968, ASW CORVETTES HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE INDIAN NAVY’S. INDIA HAD PROCURED 11 PETYA CLASS FRIGATES FROM THE SOVIET UNION BETWEEN 1968-72 AND DESIGNATED THEM AS ARNALA CLASS ASW CORVETTES.
THE KAMORTA CLASS IS A MAJOR UPGRADE OVER THE ARNALA CLASS LIKE HANGAR AND HELIPAD FOR AN ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE HELICOPTER,LONG ENDURANCE AND 3 TIMES DISPLACEMENT FOR MORE SENSORS AND WEAPONS.
IT HAS STEALTHY X-FORM HULL TO REDUCE RADAR SIGNATURE.
IT ALSO HAS RAFT MOUNTED GEARBOX AND ENGINES, WHICH DAMP THE VIBRATIONS TO REDUCE ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE OF THE SHIP.
ROLES:
THE KAMORTA CLASS WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING ROLE :
CARRIER ,FRIGATE AND DESTROYER ESCORT IN BLUE WATER AS PART OF CARRIER BATTLE GROUP.
ESCORT SMALLER CRAFTS LIKE MISSILE BOATS IN SHALLOW WATER CLOSE TO SHORELINE.
NETWORKING WITH ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE PLANES LIKE P 8I POSEIDON TO PROVIDE STRONG ASW COVERAGE
4 SHIPS OF THIS CLASS HAVE BEEN ORDERED UNDER PROJECT 28 AND A FURTHER 8 WILL FOLLOW, TAKING THE TOTAL NUMBER TO 12.
RADAR & SONAR:
THE KAMORTA IS THE FIRST SHIP OF THE INDIAN NAVY TO BE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WITH AN INDIGENOUSLY DEVELOPED PRIMARY RADAR NAMED REVATHI. THE REVATHI IS A 3D RADAR OPERATING IN THE S-BAND. IT CAN PERFORM BOTH SURFACE AND AIR SEARCH UP TO A DISTANCE OF 200 KM.
KAMORTA HAS INDIGENOUS BOW MOUNTED SONAR AND AN ATLAS ELEKTRONIK TOWED ARRAY SONAR. THE BOW SONAR IS THE PRIMARY UNDERWATER SENSOR AND THE TOWED ARRAY IS USED TO DETECT SUBMARINES HIDING UNDER THERMOCLINES IN THE WATER.
WEAPONS:
1 , 76 MM OTO MELARA SUPER RAPID GUN MOUNT FOR ENGAGING SURFACE AND AERIAL THREATS UP TO 16 KM AWAY.
2 , RBU-6000 ASW ROCKET LAUNCHERS. EACH LAUNCHER IS 12 BARRELED AND HAS A RELOAD OF 96 ROCKETS UNDER THE DECK.THESE ROCKETS HAVE A RANGE OF 4500 M AND A SHAPED CHARGE WARHEAD WHICH CAN BE SET TO EXPLODE AT A PARTICULAR DEPTH. THESE CAN PUNCH A HOLE IN THE HULL OF A SUBMARINE OR BE USED TO DEFEND AGAINST AN INCOMING TORPEDO.
2 X AK 630 GATLING GUNS THEY ARE THE CLOSE IN WEAPONS SYSTEM (CIWS) AND ARE USED FOR LAST-DITCH DEFENSE AGAINST ANTI-SHIP MISSILES.
533 MM TORPEDO TUBES FOR LAUNCHING HEAVYWEIGHT TORPEDOES. THESE HAVE A MAXIMUM ENGAGEMENT RANGE OF AROUND 20 KM
16-32 VL-MICA MISSILES WHICH HAVE A RANGE OF 15 KM AND AN ACTIVE SEEKER WILL BE DEPLOYED BY 2016. THIS MISSILE CAN INTERCEPT SEA-SKIMMING AND SUPERSONIC CRUISE MISSILES AND PROTECT THE KAMORTA CLASS FROM SUBMARINE LAUNCHED CRUISE MISSILES.
