AK630-M2
Any chance these will be on the P18-NGD? Maybe retrofit current AK630 systems with these?

Replacement should look something like this, fully indigenous. With indipendant AESA and EO.

Ministry of Defence inks contract with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited to procure 16 Upgraded Super Rapid Gun Mount & accessories worth ₹2956.89 Cr for Indian Navy​

​

Posted On: 28 NOV 2023 6:39PM by PIB Delhi

The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with M/s Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Haridwar on 28th November, 2023, for procurement of 16 Upgraded Super Rapid Gun Mount (SRGM) along with associated equipment/ accessories for Indian Navy under Buy (Indian) category at a total cost of ₹2956.89 Cr.

The upgraded SRGM, which will be manufactured by M/s BHEL at its Haridwar Plant, is a medium caliber anti-missile/anti aircraft point defence weapon system which provides a sustained rate of fire and high accuracy. The weapon system is capable of multiple engagements in multi-threat scenarios and has a proven record of very good performance against missiles and highly maneuverable fast attack crafts.

Upgraded SRGMs will be installed onboard Indian Navy's in-service and newly built ships by M/s Mazagaon Dock and Shipbuilders Ltd., Mumbai, and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, Kolkata. The project will generate an employment of two and half lakh mandays over a period of five years and encourage active participation of various Indian industries including MSME, thus significantly contributing to the Government's efforts to achieve 'Atmanirbharta' in defence.

Further, to keep the Indian Naval Ships one step ahead of the threats posed by the adversaries, the AoN under Buy (Indian) category has been accorded for procurement of Active Towed Array Sonar having capabilities to operate at low frequencies and various depths for long range detections of adversary submarines. The AoN has also been accorded for procurement of Heavy Weight Torpedoes for enhancing the attacking capabilities of Kalvari Class submarines. The AoN for sustainment support through Follow On Support (FOS) and Repair Replenishment support through Follow On Supply Support (FOSS) for 24 MH60R aircraft under Foreign Military Sale route with the US Government has also been accorded.

The DAC accorded AoN for procurement of Flight Refueller Aircraft for enhancing the operational capabilities and reach of the Indian Air Force. The AoN under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category for procurement of Software Defined Radios for the ICG has also been granted. This will fulfill the requirement of the ICG for having a high-speed communication with secure networking capability for seamless information exchange between the ICG and the Indian Navy units.

Minicoy is the closest Indian-administered atoll to the Maldives.

About ~150 kms from the nearest Maldivian atoll, and about ~450 kms from Male.

I don't know how good AK 630 M2 will be, when this is happened recently with AK 630M either due to limitation of system or incompetence of the crew:
At around the 21-second mark, a second USV comes into view, speeding toward the stricken ship in a zig-zag pattern as it avoids the vessel’s 30 mm AK-630M Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) firing at it in a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to stop it. That USV hits the Ivanovets at around the 38-second mark astern on the port side.

Ukraine Sinks Russian Navy Missile Corvette In Drone Boat Attack

Anyway, I think Indian Military should ditch gas operated cannons to electric driven ones, as they are more stable and accurate. I even want GIAT 30mm revolver cannon in Tejas mk2 and AMCA, than gas operated Gsh 23

You realise that AK 630 or similar system is for traditional threat neutralisation & the current unmanned drone boats swarm concept is a new age threat? What is Ukr doing is effectively what the small time terrorists do, the same with the fpv drones. These were not traditional weapons for conventional warfare. Its a form of guerilla warfare, and traditional systems are often less useful in such cases. A new threat will have a new solution to counter it. That can be via ew, via other means or a new invention/innovation.
