Army to get new air defence boost with Rs 30,000 crore QR-SAM deal

NEW DELHI: The defence ministry will soon take up the case for a preliminary nod to a Rs 30,000 crore proposal to procure three regiments of the new indigenous quick reaction surface to air missile (QR-SAM) systems for the Army. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Rajnath Singh-led defence acquisitions council will consider granting acceptance of necessity (AoN) for the highly-mobile QR-SAM systems, which are designed to intercept hostile fighters, helicopters and drones at a range up to 25-30 km, later this month. The move comes soon after India's existing multi-layered air defence network played a crucial role in thwarting multiple waves of Turkish-origin drones and Chinese missiles launched by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor - the May 7-10 hostilities. The and the Army have over the last three-four years tested the QR-SAM systems against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various types of threats to evaluate their capability under different day and night operational scenarios. Defence PSUs Bharat Electronics and Bharat Dynamics will co-produce the QR-SAM systems. "The QR-SAM systems can operate on the move with search and track capability and fire at short halts. They are tailor-made to move along with tanks and infantry combat vehicles to provide them air defence in the tactical battlefield," an official said. The Army Air Defence (AAD), which performed exceedingly well during Operation Sindoor, in fact, requires 11 regiments of the QR-SAM, even as it progressively also inducts regiments of the indigenous Akash system, which has an interception range of about 25-km at present. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The induction of the QR-SAM systems will add to the existing air defence network of the IAF and the Army, which ranges from the long-range Russian S-400 'Triumf' surface-to-air missile systems (380 km interception range) and Barak-8 medium range SAM systems (70 km), jointly developed with Israel, to the Russian shoulder-fired Igla-S missiles (6 km), the upgraded L-70 anti-aircraft guns (3.5 km) and the indigenous integrated drone detection and interdiction systems (1km-2 km). While the DRDO is also readying the very short-range air defence missile systems (VSHORADS), which have a 6 km interception range, the real game-changer will be an air defence system with a 350 km range being developed under the ambitious Project Kusha. India plans to operationally deploy this long-range system by 2028-2029, with the defence ministry in Sept 2023 approving the AoN for procurement of five of its squadrons for the IAF at a cost of Rs 21,700 crore, as was first reported by TOI.

HCLTech opens delivery centre at Technopark

Seven months after technology major HCLTech set up its delivery centre in Kerala at Kochi, the company opened its second unit in the State in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday. The newly opened delivery centre, located on the Technopark campus, will focus on projects in Artificial Intelligence (AI), GenAI, cloud and other emerging technologies. The first delivery centre which was opened on the Infopark campus in Kochi in October 2024 has been focussing on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technologies to provide solutions in sectors such as medical, automobile and semiconductors. Industries Minister P. Rajeeve, in a social media post, expressed confidence that the State's collaboration with HCLTech, which is involved in crucial areas of advanced technology, will help create more job opportunities for youth. 'Utilising State's potential' 'While inaugurating the first unit of HCLTech last year in Kochi, I had said that the company will be able to further utilise the potential of Kerala. The day after the unit was launched at Infopark, we received a message from the company's Corporate Vice President and Head of Engineering (R&D) Hari Sadarahalli. He said the company wanted to start another unit in Kerala very soon. Now, seven months later, the company has opened its second unit in the State. HCLTech is becoming a new example that reinforces our confidence that those setting up their business in Kerala will soon expand or open new units,' said Mr. Rajeeve. He expressed confidence that Mr. Sadarahalli's words that the company's attention was drawn to Kerala by the excellent human resources and infrastructure will bring more companies to Kerala. Seeram Sambasiva Rao, Special Secretary, Electronics & IT and Executive Director of the Information Kerala Mission (IKM), Fabrizio Salvatore, Head of Infrastructure Services and Information Security, EMT Member, Allianz Technology, Jayant Tulsiani, Branch Head, Allianz Technology India and Sudip Lahiri, Executive Vice President and Head of Financial Services, Europe and UKI, HCLTech, were present at the opening of the Thiruvananthapuram centre.
