AE and Draken International have partnered to bid for the Canadian Department of National Defence's (DND) contracted airborne training services (CATS) programme.

Upon winning the bid for the ten-year CATS programme, the companies will offer a comprehensive service for adversary and threat training, electronic warfare and target towing operations to the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy, and Canadian Army.

CAE Canada vice-president and general manager Mike Greenley said: "Our solution leverages CAE's training systems integration capabilities and Nato Flying Training in Canada experience, and combines this with Draken's world-leading fleet of adversary fighter aircraft and unmatched aggressor training practises.

"The Canadian Forces need to train against future threat aircraft that cannot be replicated without combining actual live-flying fighter aircraft with simulated enhancements.

"Our comprehensive solution will provide a better and more challenging overall training experience for Canada's fighter pilots by providing actual fighter jet adversaries that will look and act like real-world threats."

The companies have proposed a fleet of upgraded Douglas A-4 Skyhawk fighter aircraft for the training programme.

Additionally, the proposal covers a research and development programme aimed at developing training capabilities for adversary air training services.

Draken International CEO Jared Isaacman said: "We believe our combined offering with CAE has the ability to revolutionise the combat support provided under the CATS programme in Canada, as well as advance adversary and aggressor air training support globally."

The CATS programme is currently delivered in locations across Canada.

TUCANO PODE SUBSTITUIR VETERANO AVIÃO DE GUERRA DOS EUA



Aeronave de ataque da Embraer é cogitada para substituir o "caçador de tanques" A-10

Um dos mais importantes aviões da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos (USAF), o modelo de ataque ao solo Farchild Republic A-10, está chegando ao limite de sua vida-útil e em breve será aposentado. E um dos candidatos para substituí-lo é o Embraer A-29 Super Tucano.



Segundo o site Flight Global, o Super Tucano é uma das alternativas estudadas pela USAF no projeto de aquisição de um nova aeronave de “apoio aéreo aproximado” (CAS – Close Air Support) – avião de ataque ao solo que auxilia ações terrestres, como combates contra guerrilhas e tanques..

Outro candidato ao posto do A-10 é o Beechcraft AT-6 “Wolverine”, fabricado nos EUA e com características semelhantes às do avião da Embraer. Ambos têm motores turbo-hélice e podem ser equipados com um variado leque de sensores e armamentos “inteligentes”.

De acordo com o artigo, o comando militar dos EUA busca uma solução com custos operacionais menores, por isso a sugestão de substituir o A-10, com motores a jato, por modelos turbo-hélice, de manutenção mais baixa e menor consumo de combustível.

O A10, para já é insubstituível ao nível do Cas. O Super Tucano é um candidato fortíssimo é para o chamado "Cas para cenários de baixa intensidade", que a USAF vem testando recorrendo ao Ov10 Bronco, que foi colocado de novo a voar (aliás, pelo teor da noticia parece vir daí esta hipótese)  ;)

The twin-engine Broncos—each flown by a pair of naval aviators—completed 134 sorties, including 120 combat missions, over a span of 82 days beginning in May 2015 or shortly thereafter, according to U.S. Central Command, which oversees America’s wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Central Command would not say exactly where the OV-10s were based or where they attacked, but did specify that the diminutive attack planes with their distinctive twin tail booms flew in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led international campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The Pentagon has deployed warplanes to Turkey, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries.

Canadá:
Liberals considering privatizing search and rescue operations as part of Canadian Forces review
(11 de Abril de 2016)
Citação de: Lee Berthiaume, Ottawa Citizen
The Liberal government is asking if the military should continue to be involved in search-and-rescue missions, or whether private companies and other alternatives should be relied on to save Canadians in distress instead.

The idea has been raised as part of the government’s defence review, and is sure to stoke strong reactions both inside the military and across the country. The previous Conservative government aired a similar proposal five years ago, before letting it quietly die.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said last week that everything was on the table as he launched consultations with the public, parliamentarians and defence experts on how the military should be structured for the future. Consultations will continue until the end of July, with a new defence policy to be released in early 2017.

Hospital da Noruega pediu F-16 para salvar doente em risco de vida


Uma equipa médica norueguesa requisitou um avião de combate F-16 para transportar um equipamento indispensável para salvar a vida de um paciente, noticiou hoje a imprensa local.

O caso, ocorrido a 4 de abril, envolveu um paciente que necessitava de uma técnica de suporte vital de último recurso designada oxigenação por membrana extracorporal, conhecida pelo acrónimo ECMO, do inglês Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

O hospital em causa, situado em Bodo, no centro da Noruega, não tinha o equipamento para realizar aquele procedimento, mas outro hospital, em Trondheim, 450 quilómetros a sul do primeiro, dispunha da máquina, uma espécie de pulmão artificial.

O hospital de Trondheim contactou então a força aérea pedindo ajuda para levar o equipamento e, segundo as notícias, o pedido chegou numa altura em que dois caças F-16 se preparavam para descolar de uma base aérea próxima.

"Não fizeram perguntas, apenas quiseram saber o tamanho da máquina", disse à imprensa o diretor da unidade de anestesia do hospital de Trondheim, Anders Wetting Carlsen.

Um dos F-16 que estavam próximos tinha um compartimento de carga externo que permitiu transportar o equipamento até Bodo.

"Normalmente fazemos essa distância em 35 minutos, mas dada a natureza especial da carga, o piloto acelerou e chegou ao destino em menos de 25 minutos", disse o chefe da esquadra, Borge Kleppe, ao diário Verdens Gang.

http://www.janes.com/article/59773/afsoc-helping-jordan-to-build-up-at-802-light-strike-turboprop-capabilities
Citar
The US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) is currently aiding the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) in building up the capabilities of its IOMAX AT-802 Block 1 Border Patrol Aircraft (BPA) force, it was recently disclosed.

An image released by the Air Force Reserve Command on 19 April shows maintainers from the 711th Special Operations Squadron (the reserve component of AFSOC's 6th Special Operations Squadron [Aviation Foreign Internal Defense]) supporting an IOMAX AT-802 Block 1 BPA of "an allied force" on a deployed operation in March.

A source has confirmed to IHS Jane's that the image was taken in Jordan and that the 6th Special Operations Squadron (SOS), which is tasked with assessing, training, advising, and assisting foreign nation aviation forces worldwide, is helping to train Jordanian pilots on the aircraft also. As the mission integrator, IOMAX is working closely with AFSOC to first train the 6th SOS's pilots on the aircraft and weapons systems before that special operations unit passes on this knowledge to the RJAF.

The Jordanians were gifted six AT-802 BPA Block 1 aircraft by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2013. These aircraft were delivered to RJAF with a fully functional laser guided weapons capability; however, they were limited to GBU-58 (250 lb) precision-guided munitions (PGMs) and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles due to wing pylon weight limitations. The RJAF is currently working with the UAE and IOMAX to upgrade the six Block 2 BPAs to Block 2 standard, enabling them to carry GBU-12 (500 lb) PGMs and Cirit laser-guided rockets as well.

Further to the six IOMAX AT-802s, the RJAF has also received four AT-802Us that have instead been built by Air Tractor and L-3 Communications. These aircraft were part of a US government programme destined for Yemen, and were never delivered.

It should be noted that, while both are built around a common platform and so look much the same on the outside, the Air Tractor/L-3 Communications and IOMAX platforms are very different in terms of their internal make-up and systems.

Kiowa Warrior helicopter sale to Tunisia approved

http://www.janes.com/article/59965/kiowa-warrior-helicopter-sale-to-tunisia-approved

Citar
Tunisia is set to procure surplus Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior scout and light attack helicopters after the US government approved a sale valued at USD100.8 million.

The sale, which was announced by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on 3 May, covers the helicopters, weapon systems, defensive aids, night-vision goggles (NVGs), communications and navigation systems, as well as training and support.

Specifically, the DCSA lists 24 Kiowa Warrior helicopters via the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) programme; 10 Lockheed Martin AGM-114R Hellfire air-to-surface missiles and six M279A1 launchers; 82 BAE Systems Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rounds with M152 High Explosive warheads; one Dillon M134D 7.62 mm Gatling gun (plus 2.3 million rounds) per helicopter; one FN Herstal M3P 12.7 mm machine gun (plus 500,000 rounds) per helicopter; and two M260 70 mm rocket launchers per helicopter.

Each helicopter will also be fitted with the AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS) that includes A965M1 decoy chaff cartridges, and M211 and M212 Advance Infrared Countermeasures Munition flares. In addition, this request includes 50 pairs of AN/AVS-6 NVGs; 25 Embedded GPS/Inertial (EGI) Navigation Systems (INS), as well as radio sets and other communications and navigation equipment.

The overall effort is to be supported by the US Army Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aviation Program Manager's Office and the Security Assistance Management Directorate. Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of approximately 10 additional US government and 15 contractor representatives to Tunisia for approximately 5 years to support the fielding, maintenance, and personnel training.

"This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of Tunisia which has been, and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the North African region," the DSCA notification said, adding, "The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters … will improve Tunisia's capability to conduct border security and combat operations against terrorists, including Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Libya, and Ansar al-Sharia Tunisia (AAS-T).

Takeoff Antonov AN-70   a new generation of the short takeoff and landing tactical military medium transports.

This aircraft is capable of solving qualitatively new tasks beyond possibilities of previous military transports. It was proved by the wide programme of the Joint State tests, main part of which had been completed. AN-70 can transport almost any item of aeromobile military and engineering vehicles used by armies of the world and to deliver them to poorly-equipped unpaved runways directly to the destination. On this ability, AN-70 surpasses all the existent airplanes.

AN-70 can perform the typical transport mission (transportation of 20 t payload at a range of 3000 km)  from unpaved airfield of 600-800 m length only. There is no other airplane with such ability.  Taking into account all likely possibilities it is possible to come to conclusion that the AN-70 STOL capabilities as much as twice reduce both the number of aircraft required for the mission and the cost of the operation. According to the design estimations, AN-70 can be operated from/to elevated airfields placed at altitudes up to 3000 m over sea level. In comparison with the analogues aircraft, the AN-70 can perform air dropping of cargoes and parachutists with twice less scatter and its crew can guide the aircraft to the calculated touchdown point with a pin-point accuracy.
