History
The airfield in Ramanathapuram was previously the abandoned Ramnad Civil Aerodrome. Naval aviation first utilised the facilities in 1982, to monitor the Palk Strait in the wake of the Sri Lankan Civil War.
The facilities were fully transferred to the Navy on 9 June 1985, and the naval air station was initially commissioned INS Rajali II.
On 26 March 2009, the base was renamed and commissioned as INS Parundu, for the Tamil word for an eagle. The facilities have since been upgraded to operate larger aircraft. It is primarily used by the navy as a reconnaissance station to monitor the South East Bay of Bengal, the northern Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait.
On 25 August 2017, an Integrated Automatic Aviation Meteorological System (IAAMS) was added.[5]
Units
The primary units based at INS Parundu are Naval Air Squadrons (INAS) that operate HAL Chetak helicopters, Islander and Dornier 228 reconnaissance aircraft.
Besides upgrading the runway, the Navy has installed dedicated facilities to operate UAVs from the air station.[1][6] INAS 344, operating IAI Heron and IAI Searcher Mk II UAVs is based at INS Parundu.[7][8]
