Project-18 Destroyer

MDL is the only Indian shipyard having experience & expertise to build destroyers. At present, MDL is executing the Project 15B Visakhapatnam-class destroyers which will complete by the year 2024. MDL has also started discussion with Indian Navy on Next Generation Destroyer(NGD). During its investor call of Q1 FY23, the firm has informed that a total of 8 NGDs will be build under two phases. The entire project is estimated to worth $10 Billion. MDL is procuring a new floating dry dock to accommodate the massive 10,000 tonnes Next Generation Destroyers (NGD).

DRDO’s long range multifunction radar (LRMFR)

The most noticeable change in the Project-18 class destroyers is going to be their radars. In almost all latest naval warships, we can see Israel’s MFSTAR mast-mounted radar. This will be likely to be replaced with DRDO’s long range multifunction radar (LRMFR).

INS Anvesh, a technology demonstration vessel (TDV) being built for DRDO at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) has been fitted with a housing for a new type of dual-panel long-range radar system by LRDE called Long-Range Multi-Function Radar (LRMFR). It is an active phased array radar with a range more than 500 km & features octagonal faceplates that are approximately 5.5–6 m in diameter. Therefore, instead of mast mount radar, NGD may feature a multi-faced Active Phased Array Radar (APAR) based on LRMFR. The NGD will require 2 types of main APAR radars – one for shorter-wavelength & another one for longer-wavelength. LRMFR will perform the role of target tracking to fire control for SAMs/BMD. The NGD will feature HUMSA-NG - a third generation ship borne, hull mounted, Sonar system developed by DRDO and productionised by BEL.

NGD Weapons & fire

The Next Generation Destroyer will be built to fire the arrays of indigenous weapons for anti-surface, anti-submarine and land attack roles. With 128 VLS, the warship will have massive fire power. The key weapons of the destroyer will be BrahMos Missile, BrahMos-NG, LRSAM-ER, Nirbhay/ITCM LACM, MRSAM, XRSAM & VL-SRSAM & AAD. The destroyer will also be equipped with lighter version of SMART ASW missiles for taking on enemy submarines & Advance Torpedo Decoy system. The missile has a range of 643 km (400 mi) carrying a lightweight torpedo of range 20 km (12.5 mi) with 50 kg high explosive warhead. The 533mm Varunastra (or some future version of it) is likely to be the main torpedo armament. NGD may also feature a UVLS (Universal VLS) which will eliminate the need of multiple missile launchers. It will feature a 127mm main Naval gun and three 76mm Super Rapid guns.

Navy has even planned to integrate DEW. DRDO is in process of developing a 100kW DEW called Durga-II. The PSU has also developed a 25kW DEW that can neutralize a ballistic missile at range of 5KM. BEL is already producing the laser dazzlers for Indian Navy warships. The DEW to be used in NGD may be a version of 100kW DEW being developed by DRDO. The DEW will be used as close in weapon system and may be complement or supplement the traditional CIWS.

DRDO is also working on Electromagnetic Railgun. It has already developed 10 MJ rail gun and 100 MJ capacitor bank-based Rail gun is under development which could be possibly integrated with warships and could replace the Naval guns.

Don't know about airforce and army but indian navy is modernising at great speed ⚡⚡ !!

[RajathHathwar]

India needs more like these destroyers in big numbers atleast we need 14 types like these destroyers

[siliconcore]

we should use drone ship with destroyers to carry extra missiles or radars that are cheap and travel ahead of expensive ships

[aryanyadav]

After this, Next we must look for is some few cruisers like Chinese PLAN Type 055. Atleast 3 cruisers, one for Arabian Sea, one for Bay of Bengal and One more for A&N Islands for backup.

[bhupainderpathania]

Good, but didn't mention about berhmos -2 fit in this ship.

[Sacrafago]

A 128 VLS Destroyer can have:
127mm Naval Gun
32 cells VLS for Barak 8ER
16 cells VLS for 64 cells VL SRSAM ER
16 cells VLS for XR SAM
16 cells VLS for BMD
16 cells VLS for Bramhos 2/Hypersonic Missiles
16 cells VLS for Bramhos ER/Kalibr/ITCM
16 cells VLS for SMART VL ASROC
4 CIWS like Pantsir M/Palma/Kashtan
2 CIWS like Iron Dome Naval/RIM 116
4 Triple Torpedo tubes

Hopefully 8 is just the initial number and they order more later

[nitindeodhar]

Please update on our beyond the horizon radar capabilities

[maheshdeore]

When will be the first destroyer launched

We need anti-air 80-128 missiles and 36-48 anti-ship/land criuse missile along with gatling guns, torpedo launchers, decoy systems advanced radars for pur new class of heavily armed destroyers

[DrRajReddy]

Just 10, 000 tons only? Was expecting atleast 15, 000 tons

[pradeepsaral]

RADAR SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO DETECT SEA-KISSING MISSILES ALSO.

[daramiespaddio]

Hello Everyone In August 13, 2023 From Daramies Jules Paddio Senior

[inirs]

This is good news, but I hope our current destroyers are also uparmed

[abymathew]

What do you think about the idea of developing a ship with let's say 80% of its body is submerged..🤔🤔🤔

[gamerforfun]

why Italian DDX destroyer and India Next Generation Destroyer model are similar

[ashokkandimalla]

More a cruiser like a Ticon in size and weight!!

[himanshuagarwal]

Its 13-14000 tonne ship. Not 10000 as said in the video. Production will start in 2030s. Till then keep enjoying the videos

[silentreaper]

While INDIAN Navy is giving more and more a Independence Day Gift to us🤟 What to Say about Indian Army 🪖 and Indian Airforce😏. Especially INDIAN AIRFORCE😔..

[ajaykfinserv]

10000 ton is dry dock weight. Fully loaded weight finally will be atleast 12000 tons
