    Sell DESTROYERS, FRIGATES & CORVETTES P-17 stealth frigates herald step change for Indian Navy ‘The Indian Navy's Project 17 (P-17) Shivalik class stealth frigates “herald a paradigm shift” in the design of future surface combatants for the Indian Navy, according to Rear Admiral KN Vaidyanathan, who heads the Indian Navy's Directorate of Naval Design (DND). he Admiral was referring to design I aspects of the new frigates that inchude love observabilty (stealth) featuees, enhanced seakesping, integrated combat systems, enhanced shipboard automation and enhanced habitablity, Which he said would serve as key design Arivers for future surface combatants ‘going forward. Operationally, the frigates are a generation ahead of the Russian-built Pr.1135.6 Talwar class stealth frigates, snd open w ne tc epoaion possibilities forthe Indian N ‘ven though the ships appear sila to the Pr 1135.6 Tawar frigates, the design of the P-17 is entcely Indian. Infact, it pre-dates the Talwar’ design, which was developed by Russias Severnoye Design Bureau (SDB) using DND input for optimising the radae cross section (RCS) and thus the shape of the superstructure ae well as weapons layout ‘The SDB and DND have # close relationship since SDB has been a consultant design partner for integrating Russian weapons systems on all Indian warships projects, beginning with the Project 16 frigate programme, Project development ‘The project was conceived in the early 1990s, Key Naval Staff Requirements (SR) included low signatures; an ability ‘operate weapons and embarked helicopters in Sea State 6 automation and enhanced survivability features; and last but not the leas, much improved habitabilty "The frigate was initially named Fe 2000, then Frigate 2001 and finally Project 17, Concept studies commenced in 1993 and variousconcept designs were presented “The basic design of the ship ~ that is to say, the hullform, structure, internal arrangements, stealth, propulsion, weapons and overall configuration ~ commenced in 1994. Model testing and other design studies (RCS, TR, ete, wind tunnel tests and hydrodynamic testing ‘were all completed by 1997, A Letter of Intent was issued to Mazagon Docks Lid (MDL) for three -17 vessels in 1998, although production ‘would not begin until December 2000, mostly due to sourcing and pricing issues with the Russian-origin D40S steel. On op ofthis, there were further delays due toa change in the choice ofthe close: ‘weapon system from the Russian Kashtan to the proven combination of the Israeli arak-1 point-defence missile system and 30mm AK-630M Gating guns. In addition, developing a local supplies base that could produce shipboard equipment such as radar absorbent [Although long-delayed, the P-17 cls gate © major advance for ne Indian Navy material lar opaque optically transparent windows, guardrails made of radar transparent material and the radar signature-suppression side screens to stringent ‘stealth’ quality requirements was a much greater challenge than anticipated, More recently, slip up by General Electric with ITAR paperwork Ted to a delay of several months in ‘commissioning the gas turbines until the appropriate clearances could be obtained {rom the US State Department. Nevertheless, si years aftr launching, the lead shi ‘Number 12617, was finally commissioned in April 2010 as INS Shivalk. in spite of the delays the Indian Navy appears to be very sitisfied with these ships. Two follow-on ships are slated for commissioning this ye ‘The frigates, which displace around ‘6100t0nnes fully Toaded, have a Tength of 113m, abeam of 169m anda draftof5.1m, “Their complements 225 +25 ofcers, plus Worsip Tectroiegy May 2011 22 in the aviation group. The crew size could be reduced but manpower costs are very low end the Indian Navy likes to operate ships with adequate manning, such that all combat systems ean be fally smanned at all times. ‘As highlighted above, much effort was spent on deisiled design in order to reduce signatures to a minimum. For Instance, the helicopter traversing gear is flush deck-mounted to reduce the RCS, Infrared (IR) signature management measures include exhaust gas cooling with Davis Engineering-supplied eductor dltfuser devices, hot metal cooling, aswell asengine room ventilation with sea water coolers diesel alternators help in reducing hull contrast temperatures, acoustic enclosures for the Equipment firsts Shivalik i also the frst Indian warship ta have a Combined Diesel or Gas Turbine (CODOG) propulsion plant with (wo Pielstick 16PA6STC diesels and two General Electric LM 2500 gas turbines driving two relatively large, low rpm controllable pitch propellers (CPP) through Renk/Blecon gearboxes “The large, slow rpm propellers help to reduce underwater noise levels and make for a bigher cavitetion inception speed compared to existing Indian warships. The ship’ masimom cruise speed on diesels is 22knote and 32+knots on the ges turbines. Endurance is around 30 days and in excess of 5000nm, “The frigates are also the fist warships to feature the locally developed dval-redundant ‘Gigabit Bthernet databus, known asthe Integrated Ship Data Network (AISDN-17), This is in the L-3 MAPPS intogeated platform management system, damage control system, ship data network, ‘weapons, sensors, navigation system, the CCS Mk 3 communication system and the CMS-17 combat management system which was developed jointly with Russian technical partners. lectrical power comes from four Warssili WCM-1000/5 DA rated at MW each, A distributed power supply system using energy distribution centres is utilized to the ship for ddamage contol.
