✈ Westland Sea King -

The Indian Navy Sea Kings were built by AgustaWestland in the UK, under the license of the American aircraft manufacturer Sikorsky. The Indian Navy has been operating multiple variants of the Sea King since the 1970s; Mk42, Mk42A, MK42B, and MK42C. The Sea King MK42B was primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) role and equipped with dipping sonar, advanced avionics, and with two Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles. The sea king can also be armed with four “Whitehead A244S” torpedoes or four “Mk11” depth charges. The helicopter is powered by 2x Rolls-Royce Gnome H1400–2 turbo-shaft engines. The Sea Kings are also called “The Flying Frigates” as these helicopters are capable of performing almost all the missions that a frigate warship performs.

The Sea king Mk.42B variant features the MEL Super Searcher Radar, located in a drum radome on the spine of the helicopter. The Sea King Mk.42C variant has a nose-mounted Bendix RDR 1400C radar, which replaces the MEL Super Searcher. For ASW operations, the Sea King is equipped with Alcatel HS-12 dipping sonar and Sonobuoy (disposable one-time-use sonar) dispensers. The Alcatel HS-12 is dropped into the water with a holding cable and a wire for data transfer. It can operate to a depth of 220 meters. The HS-12 sonar searches for submarines either through passive listening (of propeller noise) or active acoustic pinging. Once the submarine is tracked and identified, the helicopter crew can launch homing torpedoes or drop depth charges. After operating for the Indian Navy for almost five decades, the sea kings are nearing the end of their service life. On 25th Feb 2020, India signed a deal with the United States to purchase 24 Lockheed Martin / Sikorsky MH-60 Romeo helicopters to replace the Sea Kings.

HAL ALH Mk.3 Dhruv - The Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH-DHRUV) is an indigenously designed
and developed chopper by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL.) It is a twin-engine, multi-role, multi-mission new-generation helicopter in the 5.5-ton weight class. ALH Dhruvs are simulating Tactical Air Insertion where the Indian Navy’s Marine Commandos (MARCOS) prepare to enter hostile territory. The 2nd Dhruv (IN709) is providing close air support using its onboard machine gun to the Marcos lowering down on the Gemini boat. For decades, Sea King Mk.42C was the preferred mount for the Marcos. Now ALH Mk.3 Dhruv can also be used to perform commando missions. On 19th April 2021, the Indian Navy commissioned its newest aircraft squadron INAS 323 “Harriers.” The squadron is equipped with these state-of-the-art ALH Mk.III.

HAL Chetak - The HAL Chetak is the ‘Alouette III’ developed by Sud Aviation (SA) in the 1960s. Later Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd obtained a license to build the chopper in India. Chetak is a two-ton class, seven-seater versatile, multi-role helicopter. Chetak can be used for Transport, Training, Casualty Evacuation, Search & Rescue (SAR), Aerial Survey, Patrolling, and off-shore operations. The first Chetak was delivered to the Indian Navy in the mid-1960s. The chopper has been a workhorse for the armed forces for almost six decades now. The Indian Navy will replace these Chetaks with the Naval version of HAL’s Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) in the coming years.
