Dubai Airshow 2017: Calidus showcases B-250


Citar
UAE-based company Calidus has unveiled for the first time its new light attack aircraft, the B-250, with multirole capabilities at Dubai Airshow 2017 on 12 November. The B-250 has been part of the Bader programme that originated in 2015 with a range of partners including Brazilian company Novaer, the provider of the aircraft's structure, and Rockwell Collins, the manufacturer of the onboard avionics system with its Pro Line Fusion technology.

The aircraft is the first military fighter to be developed in the country and was a result of a capability gap, Hamdan Abdulla Al Shkeili, chief software engineer at Calidus, explained to Shephard. The first delivery of the aircraft is expected imminently.
‘Today we are introducing our project the B-250. It has very strong, cutting edge avionics to enable the aircraft to do its missions accurately and precisely,’ he said.

The Pro Line Fusion avionics suite will have graphical interfaces that are integrated with a digital HUD and multi-function display windows. Terrain awareness and EO/IR video displays are also expected to provide pilots with greater air space awareness.
The single/dual pilot aircraft’s mission capabilities will be centred around counter insurgency, ISR, close air support and advanced training operations.

In relation to the weapon capabilities, the B-250 can an array of weapons with capacity for seven munitions as well as an EO/IR.
‘It is designed to be flexible for end users. It can carry different kinds of weapons and rockets. It is fulfilling a gap that the market is needing for modern warfare with very low operational costs,’ Al Shkeili commented. He explained further that the company is receiving a lot of domestic and international interest in the B-250 and ‘active communication’ is currently taking place with end users.

Novaer developed the aircraft’s structure which comprises of carbon fibre which was a key requirement from Calidus due to its lightweight capabilities. ‘It has outstanding performance due to the fact that it is the first aircraft in this category to be totally made of carbon fibre. Carbon fibre means it has better weight and anti-fatigue [components] which gives the aircraft more lifetime,’ Al Shkeili said.
The production facility for the aircraft is in the early stages of development and will be located in Al Ain although Al Shkeili confirmed that there is an opportunity for a ‘very high production’ at the site. At this stage, the B-250 has flown more than 50 flight hours. According to reports, it is believed that in the summer of this year the first prototype of the aircraft undertook its first engine spin.
Currently, there are two aircraft at the show one on static and one participating in the flight display. There was no further confirmation on any other B-250s at this stage.

It utilises one 1,600shp P&WC PT6A-68 engine and the B-250’s maximum payload is 1,796kg. the aircraft’s service ceiling is 30,000ft with a range of 2,400nm at 301kt.

DUBAI: Airbus bares C295's teeth
13 November, 2017 SOURCE: Flight Daily News BY: Ellis Taylor Dubai


 Airbus Defence and Space is seeing strong interest from Middle East and North African nations for the heavily armed ISR/strike variant of its C295 tactical transport.

 The manufacturer will soon deliver the first two "light weaponised" versions of the C295 to an unnamed customer. In that version, the C295 is fitted with a palletised mission console, multi-mode radar, machine guns mounted at the rear paratrooper doors and an electro-optical/IR turret.

 At Dubai, however, Airbus is showing off a range of weapons that will be integrated into its heavy weaponised C295, including the Roketsan CIRIC and LUMTAS missiles, as well as the TERBER 82 laser-guidance kits for Mk 82 bombs. The munitions will be externally mounted on four hardpoints.

 It is also showing a Rheinmetall 27mm autocannon and door gun system, which can be controlled from the Fully Integrated Tactical System within the aircraft. A second EO/IR sensor will also allow for both surveillance and weapons targeting.

 Miguel Candeal, marketing manager for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft at Airbus Defence and Space, says the aircraft’s up to 10h endurance and impressive weapons payload makes it a good alternative for Middle East nations to smaller strike aircraft in certain missions.

“There is a lot of interest in this region to have a heavily armed ISR aircraft,” he says, adding that other nations in Asia have shown more interest in the light armed version.

 Ground testing of the heavily armed C295 is set to begin before summer 2018, with the first flight tests set to start in October of that year, and a number of representative flight tests completed by the summer of 2019.

 Candeal says the delay in getting the aircraft into testing is due to the testbed aircraft being used for development work on Canada’s search-and-rescue configured C295s.

 Alongside the armed C295, Airbus is showing off a surveillance and maritime patrol variant that will be delivered to Saudi Arabia’s General Security Aviation Command. Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that it already operates one of the type, out of an order for four placed in 2015.

Japan's C-2 airlifter makes its international debut

 DUBAI — Japan showcased its new Kawasaki C-2 transport aircraft for the first time amid an international crowd at the Dubai Airshow.

 The air show, which runs from Nov. 12 to 16, is Japan’s first big opportunity to garner foreign interest for the C-2, which was developed and made in Japan by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

“Our potential overseas customers know the C-2 from the internet or from its catalogue, so this is the first time to see the actual aircraft,” Col. Tokukazu Omine, the C-2 program manager for the Japan Air Self Defense Force told Defense News in a Nov 12 interview. “The best way to understand the aircraft is actually seeing it, so we hope for everyone to learn more about the C-2 through this airshow.”

The C-2 is the most high-profile aircraft making its international debut at the show, which typically emphasizes commercial aviation.

 The plane, which is powered by twin CF6-80CK1F turbofan engines, was designed be a more powerful alternative to Lockheed Martin’s C-130 Hercules, which is operated by the JASDF but was not meeting the country’s airlift requirements, Omine said.

 Japan’s ministry of defense has spent about 260 billion yen ($2.3 billion in U.S. dollars) in development costs on the program, and is under contract for 11 aircraft — although Omine said Japan currently plans to buy about 20 planes. Since March, Kawasaki has delivered three aircraft to the JASDF, with a fourth plane coming this month.

 Japan is in talks with several potential customers about the C-2, said Omine, who declined to say which countries or regions have shown interest. The Japanese MOD and Kawasaki believe the C-2 could compete in the same market as Lockheed Martin’s C-130 and Airbus A400M, and New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates are rumored to be interested in the aircraft.

 The JASDF is paying about 20 billion yen, or $176 million U.S. dollars, per aircraft. However, Omine noted the costs would be different for international customers based on the configuration of the aircraft and the volume of the procurement.

 The C-2 is the largest plane ever developed by a Japanese aircraft firm. It can travel a distance of 4,500 kilometers while carrying its maximum payload of 36 tons in its cargo bay, and can hit max speeds of about 0.82 Mach, according to the Japanese ministry of defense.

 The program wrapped up developmental tests in March, and has begun operational testing.

 Omine could not provide data about the number of fight hours clocked by the aircraft or give insight about how the aircraft have been used operationally since delivery, but said the JASDF has been satisfied with the aircraft.

Croatian Air Force conducts live firing from OH-58D helicopter
(17 de Novembro de 2017)
Citação de: Airforce Technology
The Croatian Air Force and Air Defence’s OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters have successfully conducted the first tactical live firing and rocket launching.

This group firing and launching on Kiowa helicopters follows the successful completion of the first round of live firing and rocket launching in September.

It was carried out by pilots of Helicopter Squadron of the 93rd Croatian Air Force and Air Defence.

To date, three cycles of firing and rocket launching have been conducted for the first group of Croatian pilots on Kiowa helicopters.

Conducted by Kiowa helicopters flying in pairs, the firing involved the 12.7mm machine gun, the Hydra 70mm unguided rockets, Helfire’s school missiles, and Heckler-Koch G-36CV guns.

Each team comprised of Croatian Air Force pilots flying two OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters.

(...)

The third cycle marks the completion of Croatian pilots training and will be followed by the test pilot check ride.

The three cycles allowed air technicians of all specialities to build helicopter attending skills and field operation in combat situations.

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter can be primarily used for scout attack role.

It can also perform transport and utility roles using equipment kits installed externally on existing hard points.

Amigos portugueses, tomen nota de esto, un F16 de la USAF alcanza las 9500 horas de voo!!


Old jet breaks new barriers




Citar
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan --
One of Misawa's most famous flightline assets hit a milestone this week. BOB--a Block 50 F-16 Fighting Falcon, tail number 808--surpassed 9,500 hours of flight time on Nov. 20 at the ripe age of 27, making it older than many lieutenants and captains who fly "him."

Almost every pilot stationed at Misawa since 1990 has had the opportunity to fly BOB as part of his or her training regimen, to include some of Misawa's current leadership.

Ten years ago, Lt. Col. Matt Kenkel, the 14th Fighter Squadron commander, flew BOB as a first-assignment F-16 pilot.

“Misawa was my first F-16 base,” said Kenkel. “I'm really living the dream coming back as the commander of the fighter squadron I grew up in--there's nothing better.”

Although Kenkel racked up numerous flying hours on BOB, he credits all the hard work in keeping the jet mission-ready to the maintainers.

“None of the credit goes to the pilots who flew BOB,” Kenkel said. “If you think about things like age, wear and tear, all the life cycles, engine changes, gear changes, corrosion preventive maintenance and fixing cracks in the skin, that's on the shoulders of the maintainers. It's really a tribute to those guys who have maintained BOB, giving him a 27-year lifespan and kept him flying this long.”

Like Kenkel, Senior Master Sgt. Jonathan Peck, the 14th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron lead production superintendent, worked with BOB during his first assignment. While deployed to Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, as part of Operation Southern Watch in 1999, Peck worked on the aircraft as a maintainer.

“Remembering working on BOB as a crew chief and sharing pictures of the jet now with guys I was stationed with in the 90s and early 2000s is amazing,” said Peck. “It’s been really cool to see his progression to flagship; BOB brings back a lot of memories from when I was at my first assignment.”

As the years passed, younger Airmen took on Peck's former role. To ensure maximum safety and longevity of the jets, though, maintenance hours have drastically increased since Peck's time as a crew chief. For every flight hour, the 35th Maintenance Group has to expend 19.5 man-hours to ensure the jet operates at the highest standard, providing mission success and the preservation of the F-16.

“The precision and effort these maintainers put into each aircraft has allowed us to fly BOB up to 9,500 hours,” Peck said. “This is a direct relation to how well we maintain our equipment and how the technicians don't accept anything substandard, making these jets perfect for every mission.”

Wing leadership also recognizes the extraordinary measures the 35th Maintenance Group undertakes to keep the jets ready to "Fight Tonight."

“Extending and preserving the life of our Block 50 F-16s is one of our maintenance team's most challenging objectives,” said Col. R. Scott Jobe, the 35th Fighter Wing commander. “Hitting 9,500 hours on a jet slated to be phased out at 4,800 hours is astonishing, proving that, as technology continues to become more complex, the Airmen on the ground continue to meet and exceed the demands we confront them with. Thanks to the dedication of every Team Misawa maintenance professional, 'BOB' has the highest number of flying hours out of any of its kind in the U.S. Air Force.”

BOB is not slowing down anytime soon, either. The Air Force extended the life of every F-16 to 12,000 hours earlier this year, so tail number 808 will continue to grace Misawa's runways for many years to come.

Força Aérea das Filipinas seleciona o Embraer A-29 Super Tucano

O A-29 Super Tucano é um avião turboélice robusto, versátil e poderoso, capaz de realizar uma ampla gama de missões, mesmo operando a partir de pistas não preparadas. Até o momento, o Super Tucano já foi selecionado por 14 forças aéreas em todo o mundo. Uma vez que a entrega dessas aeronaves esteja concluída, elas serão operadas e mantidas pelo 15º Esquadrão de Ataque, o usuário final dentro da PAF.

A Embraer anunciou hoje um pedido de seis aviões de ataque leve e treinamento avançado A-29 Super Tucano para a Força Aérea das Filipinas (PAF, na sigla em inglês).

Após um abrangente processo de licitação pública, que contou com a participação de vários fabricantes de todo o mundo, cumprindo os mais rigorosos processos de avaliação, o Super Tucano foi selecionado como parte do plano de modernização da PAF.


O demorado projeto de aquisição de aeronaves de Apoio Aéreo Aproximado (CAS), coordenado pelo Departamento de Defesa Nacional (DDN) e pelas Forças Armadas das Filipinas decidiu-se pela aeronave EMB-314 Super Tucano da Embraer, selecionada como a “proposta mais vantajosa, economicamente”. A escolha faz parte do Programa de Modernização da Força Aérea das Filipinas, batizado de First Horizon.

A aeronave será utilizada em missões de apoio aéreo tático, ataque leve, vigilância, intercepção e contra-insurgência. As entregas começarão em 2019. As seis aeronaves adquiridas substituirão os atuais aviões de ataque Rockwell OV-10 “Bronco”.


Ainda dentro do programa First Horizon está prevista a aquisição de duas aeronaves de patrulha de longo alcance e a conclusão do programa de aquisição dos jatos de ataque e treinamento de origem sul-coreana. Uma vez que a entrega dos A-29 esteja concluída, estes serão operadas pelo 15º Esquadrão de Ataque da PAF.

“Estamos orgulhosos de sermos selecionados pela Força Aérea das Filipinas, nosso segundo operador na região da Ásia-Pacífico, e pela confiança expressada por nossos clientes”, disse Jackson Schneider, presidente e CEO da Embraer Defesa & Segurança. “O Super Tucano é o melhor avião de ataque leve do mercado e estamos confiantes de que ele realizará com excelência as missões para as quais foi selecionado.”

O A-29 Super Tucano é um avião turboélice robusto, versátil e poderoso, capaz de realizar uma ampla gama de missões, mesmo operando a partir de pistas não preparadas. Até o momento, o Super Tucano já foi selecionado por 14 forças aéreas em todo o mundo.

EUA APROVAM VENDA DE SUPER TUCANO À NIGÉRIA

País deve adquirir 12 aeronaves por US$ 593 milhões; modelos serão montados nos EUA


O Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos aprovou no início deste mês a venda de 12 aviões de ataque leve Embraer A-29 Super Tucano à Nigéria, informou o site Flight Global. A negociação foi aprovada pelo estafe do presidente Donald Trump , apesar das preocupações da administração anterior sobre o bombardeiros do governo nigeriano contra civis.

O departamento informou ao Congresso dos EUA que tem 30 dias para aprovar o acordo, avaliado em US$ 593 milhões. O pacote inclui aeronaves, armas, treinamento, peças sobressalentes e instalações para apoiar o programa.

Em janeiro de 2017, um caça da força aérea da Nigéria bombardeou um campo de refugiados do nordeste perto da fronteira com os Camarões, que teria matado ao menos 100 civis. O ataque levou a administração de Barack Obama a colocar a venda do Super Tucano em espera. A administração de Trump reiniciou o processo de aprovação alguns meses depois, apressando a negociação para apoiar a luta da Nigéria contra o grupo terrorista Boko Haram.

A venda marca outra grande chance para a Embraer, que está demonstrando o Super Tucano no projeto OA-X da força aérea dos EUA, no estado do Novo México. O programa, se aprovado nos testes, pode render a fabricante brasileira um contrato para cerca de 300 aeronaves.

Os EUA já adquiriram um total de 26 modelos A-29 desde 2014 para transferir para as forças aéreas do Líbano e do Afeganistão. Essas aeronaves, no caso, são montadas pela Sierra Nevada (SNC), fabricante norte-americana parceira da Embraer. Se a negociação com a Nigéria sobre os Super Tucanos seguir adiante, os aviões também serão montados pela SNC.

Super Tucano na África

Dos 14 clientes internacionais do Super Tucano, quatro deles estão na África. Além de ser cotado para equipar a frota da Nigéria, a aeronave desenvolvida no Brasil já é operada pelas forças armadas de Angola, Burkina Faso, Mali e Mauritânia. Gana e Senegal também têm planos de adquirir o avião de ataque da Embraer.

Royal Netherlands Air Force signs five-year deal with Empire Test Pilots School

QinetiQ has agreed its first ever multi-year training contract on behalf of the Empire Test Pilots School in a five-year deal with the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

Under the £5.5m contract, signed in December 2017, ETPS will continue to train the Dutch force’s test pilots and flight test engineers until at least 2022 say Qinetiq.

Until now, all ETPS courses have been booked on a rolling annual basis, but new multi-year contract options have been made possible by the recent 11-year commitment within the Long Term Partnering Agreement, under which QinetiQ manages ETPS in support of the UK Ministry of Defence.

Mr Nick Lay, Operations Director T&E and Training Transformation, QinetiQ, said:

“This commitment from the Royal Netherlands Air Force is a significant vote of confidence in the reinvigorated ETPS, and in QinetiQ’s strategy to modernise UK test aircrew training. The introduction of multi-year agreements raises exciting new possibilities for our customers, such as tailored courses, bespoke equipment and activities, and long-term cost savings.

They provide extra certainty, which increases our ability to plan for future opportunities and accommodate customer requirements, giving a huge boost to the school’s commercial appeal.”

According to Qinetiq in a press release:

“Dutch students on the 2018 course will be among the first to fly the school’s new aircraft, purchased in 2017 as part of a £85m drive to modernise the UK’s provision of test aircrew training. The new fleet comprises two Grob 120TP and two Pilatus PC-21 fixed wing aircraft, alongside four Airbus H125 helicopters. These aircraft will be complemented by new modular courses, featuring modern working environments, materials and teaching practices, including student-centred and distance learning. The school will continue to be led by military staff with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) being intrinsically involved in the running, supervision and oversight of courses.”

Air Commodore Richard Laurijssen, Royal Netherlands Air Force, said:

“We have sent test pilots from the Netherlands to the ETPS since 1945. We consider the ETPS to be one of the leading test pilot schools in the world, and as such its training is accredited by the Netherlands’ Military Aviation Authority. We therefore appreciate the partnership and have confidence in a future together. Signing a multi-year training contract underlines this, and also ensures the continuation of this valued cooperation.”
