Estão tão satisfeitos com a Navantia que até já se fala em cancelar o contrato dos submarinos franceses e comprar os S-80, que tão bons resultados têm dado.

Australian Navy’s second Supply-class tanker launched in Spain

Spanish shipbuilder Navantia has launched the second of two Royal Australian Navy auxiliary oiler replenishment (AOR) ships at its shipyard in Ferrol, Spain.

Future support tanker HMAS Stalwart was launched on August 31.

The delivery into service of the Supply-class replenishment vessels from next year will provide the navy with vital afloat logistics support to enable other ships to remain at sea longer.

The first ship in the class, future HMAS Supply, was launched in November 2018.

“NUSHIPs Stalwart and Supply will extend our warships’ endurance and operational range by providing bulk fuels, potable water, stores and explosive ordnance to naval vessels operating at sea,” Chief of the Royal Australian Navy, Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, said.

NUSHIPs Stalwart and Supply will replace the current replenishment tankers HMAS Sirius and ex-HMAS Success, which was decommissioned in June this year.

The 173.9-meter AORs are built under a contract signed in May 2016 and are based on the Spanish Navy’s Cantabria-class AORs. They will be delivered at an estimated cost of AU$640 million.

Displacing 19,500 tons, the ships are intended to carry fuel, dry cargo, water, food, ammunition, equipment and spare parts to provide operational support for the deployed naval or combat forces operating far from the port on the high seas for longer periods.

In addition to replenishment, the vessels can be used to combat against environmental pollution at sea, provide logistics support for the armed forces, and to support humanitarian and disaster relief (HADR) operations following a natural disaster.

Royal Australian Navy helicopters join bushfire rescues


Photo: Royal Australian Navy

The Royal Australian Navy’s Fleet Air Arm (FAA) is supporting firefighting efforts on the east coast of Australia, during one of the most dangerous bushfire periods the nation has ever seen.

Helicopters from three squadrons based at HMAS Albatross — MH-60R Seahawk helicopters from 816 Squadron, MRH-90 helicopters from 808 Squadron and EC135 helicopters from 723 Squadron — are all playing roles to support the firefighters and emergency crews on the ground.

Executive Officer 723 Squadron, Lieutenant Commander Gavin Johnston said the squadron delivers a significant capability for rotary wing aircrew training in Australia.

“Taking part in operations such as the firefighting efforts in New South Wales gives our newly qualified crews an opportunity to consolidate the skills and knowledge that they have gained during training,” Lieutenant Commander Johnston said.

During the firefighting deployment, 723 Squadron’s EC135 helicopters reached the key milestone of 10,000 flying hours.
Commanding Officer 723 Squadron, Commander Bruce Willington, said the fleet of 15 EC135 helicopters reached the milestone in only three years.

The first EC135 helicopters joined 723 Squadron in 2016 and have since completed more than 6700 flights, while training the newly formed instructor workforce and delivering an initial rotary qualification to 34 pilots, 11 Aviation Warfare Officers and 33 Aircrew for the Navy and Army.

Meanwhile, Navy’s MH-60R Seahawk helicopters provided advanced technology though their Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) cameras and sensors. Each night, soon after dusk, the aircrew from 816 Squadron were joined by RFS specialists for flights over fire grounds to assess and map current fire movements.

The MH-60R, affectionately known as the Romeo, is the navy’s next-generation submarine hunter and anti-surface warfare helicopter but readily adapts to support a variety of missions including search and rescue, utility and humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations.

Navy’s Fleet Air Arm is regularly called on to provide humanitarian aid and disaster relief in response to bushfires, floods, cyclones or other emergencies.

Apart from helicopters, a fleet of navy ships and aircraft are deployed to rescue Australian nationals currently trapped by bushfires and supply them food, water and medical help.

This sale enhances Australia's self-defense capability, while significantly improving interoperability with U.S. Navy AEGIS combatants in the region. By deploying a surface combatant fleet that will incorporate Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), Australia will significantly improve network-centric warfare capability for US forces operating in the region. Australia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

There are a significant number of companies under contract with the U.S. Navy that will provide components and systems as well as engineering services during the execution of this effort, with a significant portion of the effort to be performed by Lockheed Martin, Rotary and Mission Systems, Moorestown, NJ. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require travel of U.S. Government and/or contractor representatives to Australia on a temporary basis for program support and management oversight. No extended (long-term) visits to Australia will be required as part of this effort.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

 The Royal Australian Navy sailors aboard HMAS Parramatta have used 3D printing to support the fleet when deployed, using the new technology to replace key components.

 The Innovation Unit of HMAS Parramatta demonstrated its capability during the recent East Asia Deployment of the ship using 3D printing.

 Royal Australian Navy sailor Petty Officer Electronics Technician Nathan Little said that significant innovations have already improved capability onboard HMAS Parramatta.

 Little said: “Our 3D printing workshop was very successful during our deployment, producing three practical and real-world solutions and returning capability back to our command.

“We worked closely with other areas of the ship to identify issues and find real-world solutions. We were able to replicate faulty parts and return full functionality, which is a great success for the team.”

Innovation Unit’s ideas can become the new standards and can be used across platforms in the future.

 Leading Seaman Electronic Technician Duncan O’Brien, who was awarded a Commanding Officer’s Commendation for his initiative in developing his skillset, said: “What’s even better is that my new skills now directly benefit my ship and the whole team on board.

“I am looking forward to creating more positive impact and results.”

Last October, the Royal Australian Navy announced the deployment of the Anzac-class frigate HMAS Parramatta to support the international coalition in the enforcement of sanctions against North Korea. HMAS Parramatta will be part of a broader East Asian deployment to ensure regional security and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

Australia begins construction of third Arafura-class OPV



The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) announced on 27 March that construction work had begun on the third of 12 Arafura-class offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) on order for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

Unlike the first two ships of the class, which are being built at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia by Lürssen Australia and government-owned ASC, the vessel is the first of the remaining ten ships of the class set to be built at the Civmec shipyard in Henderson, Western Australia.

"Today's [27 March] milestone reinforces the OPV programme is on schedule to deliver the capability for the Royal Australian Navy when the first ship commences service in 2022," Australian Defence Minister Linda Reynolds was quoted as saying.

The ship is part of an AUD3.6 billion (USD2.5 billion) contract for the OPVs signed in late January 2018 with German shipbuilder Lürssen under Australia's Sea 1180 Phase 1 programme.
Lürssen's subsidiary, Lürssen Australia, is the prime contractor working with shipbuilding partners Civmec and ASC.

Construction of the first vessel, Arafura , began in November 2018, while work on the second started in June 2019.

The new OPVs, which are based on the PV80 design, are set to replace the RAN's fleet of Armidale- and Cape-class patrol boats, and also take on some of the duties associated with the Huon-class minehunters as well as Leeuwin- and Paluma-class survey vessels.

For instance, the RAN has pointed out that the OPV's design "will support specialist mission packages, such as a maritime tactical unmanned aerial system, and into the future, rapid environmental assessment and deployable mine counter measure capabilities".

The class has a standard displacement of 1,640 tonnes, an overall length of 80 m, an overall beam of 13 m, and a hull draught of 4 m.

Mais uma vez, queria salientar que os orçamentos de aquisição de equipamento militar em países como a Austrália e o Canadá englobam o custo do programa ao longo da sua vida. Como estes países, normalmente, optam pela construção local, o custo da construção em si é mais elevado que o habitual, mas não é o que parece.

Mais uma vez, volto a dar os exemplos dos 12 Barracuda australianos (31,7 mil milhões de USD), das 09 Type 26 australianos (22,2 mil milhões de USD) e das 15 Type 26 canadianos (43 mil milhões de USD) -- todos os valores à cotação de hoje. Estes valores incluem, construção, manutenção, MLU's e armamento ao longo da vida do equipamento (tipicamente 30 anos). A não ser assim, os Barracuda convencionais australianos ficariam mais caros que os Barracuda nucleares franceses, ou as Type 26 ficariam mais caras que os AB Flight III, o que seria um absurdo.

Two mega-blocks of Australia’s 1st Arafura-class OPV joined together

The Royal Australian Navy’s offshore patrol vessel (OPV) program has reached another milestone with the two halves of the first Arafura class OPV coming together to form a complete hull.

The milestone comes a year after the keel for the lead ship in the class was laid in Adelaide.

Built by Luerssen Australia and its South Australian partner ASC, it marks the largest industrial manoeuvre at Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the Australian Naval Infrastructure (ANI) operations team manoeuvred the two mega-blocks of the ship together, weighing 1,000 tonnes in total, with only millimetres between them.
“It is a source of great pride to see a unified purpose among industry partners Luerssen, ASC and ANI, with defence industry continuing to show resilience to deliver during these challenging times,” Minister Reynolds said.

The first of the OPVs, Arafura, is planned to enter service from the early 2020s and will conduct border protection and maritime patrol missions alongside other Australian and regional partners.

“It is great to see new investments and innovations made as part of this program, with ANI undertaking significant expansion and modernisation of the Osborne Naval Shipyard,” Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP, commented.
“The OPV program is delivering benefits across Australia, with the first two vessels under construction at Osborne in South Australia and the remaining 10 vessels to be built at Henderson in Western Australia.”

The program of 12 vessels will replace and improve upon the capability delivered by the Armidale class and Cape class patrol boats.
Check out how the two halves of Arafura were brought together and welded to form a single structure in the video below:

Na Europa a estratégia é exatamente a oposta.

Os Barracuda franceses estão inscritos na lei do orçamento com um custo unitário de 1350 milhões euros, uma pechincha, portanto. Todos os custos inerentes ao desenvolvimento do projecto são financiados à parte. Imagino que assim seja mais fácil aprovar orçamentos.

As FREMM tinham, em 2016, um custo de 670 M cada uma. Média das duas versões em conjunto.
