Defence Minister to Visit Shipyards in France and Spain
« Responder #150 em: Julho 10, 2004, 03:30:29 pm »
Defence Minister Robert Hill will visit France and Spain next week to visit shipyards and discuss options for Australia’s two major naval acquisitions projects, the amphibious ships and air warfare destroyers worth $8 billion.  
 
Senator Hill will visit the French shipbuilding group Armaris and the Spanish shipbuilding group IZAR to discuss their candidate designs for Australia’s new amphibious ships.  
 
“Our two new amphibious ships will be capable of performing a range of tasks, including regional disaster relief, delivering humanitarian aid, support for peace operations, and assistance to policing or military operations,” Senator Hill said.  
 
“Defence will be evaluating the designs proposed by Armaris and IZAR later this year, in consultation with four Australian shipbuilding companies.”  
 
Armaris has proposed the Mistral Class design which it is building for the French Navy with delivery planned in May next year. The ship has a length overall of 199 meters and a maximum beam of 32 meters. It is capable of operating six helicopters and up to four amphibious watercraft and will be fitted with medical facilities.  
 
IZAR has proposed its new Strategic Projection Ship to meet the requirements of the Australian Defence Force. The Spanish Navy awarded a contract for the design and construction of the first ship to IZAR in March. IZAR’s naval shipyard at El Ferrol has the lead responsibility for the design and construction work. The capabilities of the new Spanish ship will be similar to those of the French Mistral.  
 
During his visit to the El Ferrol shipyard in Spain, Senator Hill will also see the F-100 Frigate that is one of three candidate designs for the Navy’s new air warfare destroyers. The F-100 Frigate is fitted with the AEGIS Air Warfare System, and the first ship is already in service with the Spanish Navy.  
 
“Our three new air warfare destroyers will be capable of detecting and shooting down aircraft at extended ranges and protecting deployed forces from air and missile attack,” Senator Hill said.

Finlandia negocia la compra de cazaminas de la serie 'Segura'

La Armada recibió ayer el 'Duero', que es el más moderno de esta clase y está dotado de las últimas tecnologías
La Armada Finlandesa está negociando con Industria la adquisición de cazaminas de la serie 'Segura', según informó ayer el almirante jefe del Estado Mayor de la Armada, Almar, Sebastián Zaragoza. "El interés que están despertando estos buques nos consolida como un país con industria de tecnología punta en este sector", señaló el Almar.
La Armada recibió ayer el cazaminas 'Duero', que es el primero de la segunda serie de este tipo de embarcaciones contra minas que están construyendo los astilleros de Izar en Cartagena para Defensa.
"Los barcos de esta segunda serie tienen mejores prestaciones. Son punteros en Europa", destacó Sebastián Zaragoza. El cazaminas Duero está dotado con nuevos sistemas de identificación, con mejores sistemas de comunicación y radar que sus predecesores, con cartografía digital para el sistema de combate, así como con una planta de tratamiento de aguas negras y residuos con el objetivo de reducir al máximo la contaminación. "Es un barco muy moderno y con una habitabilidad razonable", puntualizó el Almar.
Este tipo de buques está preparado para mantener libres de minas los accesos a puertos, bases navales y las derrotas costeras. Su principal objetivo es la detección, clasificación, localización, identificación y neutralización de las minas de fondo y de orique, que son las que están unidas al lecho marino mediante un cable.
El almirante jefe del Estado Mayor señaló que con este ya son cinco los cazaminas con los que cuenta la Armada, a los que en breve se unirá el Tajo. La primera de estas embarcaciones, que permiten la renovación total de la flotilla de Medidas Contra Minas de la Armada, fue el 'Duero', que se botó el 28 de abril de 2003, al que posteriormente se han unido el 'Segura', el 'Sella', el 'Tambre', el 'Turia', y ayer el 'Duero'.
En un principio estaba previsto que Izar construyera ocho buques de la serie Segura, aunque finalmente se redujo a seis. "De momento seis es un número muy razonable. Con seis embarcaciones se logra hacer una serie. La Armada está razonablemente satisfecha", precisó el Almar.
Esta embarcación participará en los ejercicios de la Fuerza de Medidas contra las Minas que organiza la OTAN en el Mediterráneo. "Además desarrollará los ejercicios normales de adiestramiento", indicó Sebastián Zaragoza.
Al acto de entrega del 'Duero' asistieron el presidente de Izar, Juan Pedro Gómez, que no quiso hacer declaraciones sobre la difícil situación que atraviesa la compañía, la alcaldesa de Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, los diputados Rosa Juaneda, del PSOE, y Andrés Ayala, del PP, además de otras autoridades.

IZAR Cartagena opta a construir cazaminas para otros países europeos

El cazaminas Duero, botado el 28 de abril de 2003 fue entregado ayer a la Armada Española en un acto celebrado en el muelle Don Juan de Borbón del Arsenal de Cartagena.


A la ceremonia, presidida por el Almirante General Jefe del Estado Mayor, Sebastián Zaragoza Soto, asistieron numerosas autoridades civiles y militares entre ellas, la alcaldesa Pilar Barreiro y el Presidente de IZAR, Juan Pedro Gómez.

Construido en la factoría de IZAR, el Duero compone junto a los cazaminas Segura, Sella, Tambre y Turia, la serie SEGURA, con la que se inició la renovación de la Flotilla de Medidas Contra Minas de la Armada Española, con base en Cartagena, y que se completará con la entrega del Tajo.

Al igual que la del resto de cazaminas de la primera serie, la estructura del buque es de poliéster y fibra de vidrio. En su diseño se han tenido en cuenta tres factores que activan las minas submarinas: el magnetismo, el ruido y la presión.

Según ha declarado el Jefe del estado Mayor de la Armada, Sebastián Zaragoza, el resultado que se está obteniendo con estos buques es muy positivo. “Estos cazaminas consolidan a España como industria naval de alta tecnología en Europa y con muchas posibilidades de construir este tipo de buques para otros países.

La misión de los cazaminas de la clase Segura es mantener libres de minas los accesos a puertos, bases navales y las derrotas costeras. El buque tiene una eslora de 54 metros y 10,70 de manga. Desplaza un total de 550 toneladas a una velocidad máxima de 14 nudos, con una autonomía propia de hasta 2.000 millas.

Por cierto que, recordaba que hace tiempo se decía que el precio de cada cazaminas no se alejaba mucho del de un LPD Galícia (que ronda los 120 millones de €), he vuelto a preguntar por su precio, y en efecto, mi memoria no erraba, cada barquito de 550 toneladas cuesta entre 70 y 90 millones de euros  :!:

SATISFACCIÓN EN IZAR POR EL PROGRESO DEL PROGRAMA DE SUBMARINO S-80  
8/07/04  
 


LA PUESTA EN MARCHA DE UN NUEVO SISTEMA DE SOLDADURA DE ANILLOS PONE DE MANIFIESTO QUE LA INNOVACIÓN SIGUE SIENDO LA CLAVE DE LA COMPETITIVIDAD PARA EL FUTURO

07-07-2004.- El Astillero Cartagena de IZAR ha realizado unas pruebas de soldadura de anillos del submarino S-80 poniendo en marcha nuevos sistemas automatizados que hasta la fecha no habían sido utilizados en submarinos convencionales.



"Si queremos ser competitivos y mantener la ocupación en nuestros astilleros hay que recurrir a la innovación para diferenciarnos de nuestros competidores" ha manifestado el Presidente de IZAR, Juan Pedro Gómez Jaén, durante la evaluación de dichas pruebas.


Gómez Jaén también manifestó que " mi apuesta es una apuesta de futuro y el hecho de que Cartagena sea un astillero con una carga de trabajo asegurada para los próximos años nos debe motivar todavía más para ser pioneros en la innovación y ser más eficientes. Además, este nuevo sistema de soldadura de anillos de submarinos puede contribuir de forma decisiva a la consecución de nuevos contratos ya que nos permite ser más eficientes y por lo tanto más competitivos a la hora de presentar nuevas ofertas"


El nuevo sistema supone la sustitución de la soldadura manual por electrodo por un sistema automático de soldadura con arco sumergido. Este proceso de arco sumergido es mucho más exigente desde la perspectiva de alineación y posicionamiento de los anillos y demanda una mayor cualificación y formación del personal. Este sistema presenta grandes ventajas en calidad y eficacia y ha requerido la puesta en marcha de nuevas inversiones para la adquisición de la maquinaria necesaria y la formación del personal.

El programa de los cuatro submarinos S-80 que IZAR está desarrollando para la Armada Española proporcionará 16 millones de horas de trabajo entre directas e inducidas. Las entregas de estas cuatro unidades, de tecnología puntera y diseño exclusivamente nacional, están previstas para el periodo 2011-2014.

Royal ‘Stirling’ Navy  
 
 
(Source: Kockums AB; issued July 9, 2004)
 
 
 All Swedish Navy submarines will soon be equipped with Stirling Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) systems, which substantially enhances the operational efficiency of conventional (non-nuclear) submarines.  
 
The Swedish Navy submarine HMS Södermanland has recently undergone a refit and been upgraded with the Stirling propulsion system by Kockums, in Karlskrona. And in the autumn, the next Västergötland class submarine should be ready to put to sea, following the launch and sea trials of HMS Östergötland.  
 
The Stirling propulsion system enables a conventional submarine to remain submerged for several weeks, minimizing the risk of detection and greatly increasing its stealth capabilities.  
 
With the completion of the HMS Södermanland and HMS Östergötland upgrades, all Swedish Navy submarines currently in service will be equipped with Stirling propulsion systems. In naval circles, this has led to the coining of a new concept: the “Royal Stirling Navy”.  
 
The Västergötland class submarines have been lengthened by twelve meters. Some claim that this makes HMS Södermanland Sweden’s longest submarine, making it even longer (if only a few centimeters) than HMS Gotland. Needless to say, this is now the subject of intense internal (partisan!) debate.

Penso que o S-80 é um projecto com base no Scorpéne, é um derivado, é um projecto desenvolvido com base nas necessidades e pretensões da Marinha espanhola. É maior que o Scorpéne tem 71m comprimento, com uma tonelagem na ordem das 2175 tons, com capacidade para lançar misseis de cruzeiro e uma autonomia de 44 dias.

En un principio el S-80 iba, como bien ha dicho Fábio G., a ser un derivado del Scorpene. Sin embargo conforme ha ido pasando el tiempo se ha ido sabiendo que el diseño del submarino es completamente nacional desde la base, pero no hay que olvidar que Izar ha necesitado la experiencia en la construcción de los Scorpene para realizar el S-80. En cuanto a las características, poco se sabe (a parte de lo que ha puesto FábioG.). En septiembre saldrá un buen artículo en la revista Defensa sobre el submarino, espero que hayan sido capaces de recavar mucha información :)  
Aquí unos planos del susodicho submarino (no sé de que etapa)

On the modernized submarine will be established series radio transmitter "Torch-P2" .


On the modernized submarine of navy RF will be established the series radio transmitter "Torch-P2" of development BY NII - SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE "Neptune", they reported "interfaksu-AVN" into the medium in the press- service of federal agency on the industry.

"to the modernized submarine from the composition VMF RF will be established radio transmitter" the Torch-P2 of the "development of scientific research institute" Neptune ". Device in series is produced at the plant the name Of kozitskogo ", reported the representative of press- service.

According to his information, the automated transistor radio transmitting equipment (ATRPU) R -638-2-1 ("Torch-P2") is intended for guaranteeing the automatic connection in the decametric and meter wave bands in the composition of the automatically controlled complexes of the connection of submarines.

Radio transmitting equipment (RPDU) executed on the transistors in the modular structure consists of two counters: the driver amplifier and soglasuyushchey system (SS). In the composition RPDU is used exciter device (VU) R -788-1. The wide-band circuit of power gain ensures work on antenna-feeder circuit with the traveling-wave ratio not less than 0,01.

Control of radio transmitter is local - from the front panel and remote. Intermittent service is ensured by the built-in air ventilation. The small level of acoustic is noise it makes it possible to establish it in the submarines.

The chief for the administration of connection VMF RF accepted the solution about the organization since 2004 of the series production of radio transmitting equipment of a series "Torch", they reported in the press- service. According to its information, in NII - SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE "Neptune" is developed also ATRPU R -638-3-4, intended for guaranteeing the distant automatic character printing, telephone and search-free telegraph communication in the decametric and meter wave bands.

R -638-3-4 is the result of the modernization of articles R -638-3 and is intended for replacing R-632- ML on the ships and the coastal targets. The driver amplifier of transmitter is realized on two amplifer modules. Radio transmitting equipment is executed on the transistors in the modular structure. Radio transmitter is completed by exciter devices R -170-V1 or R -788-1WA.

The wide-band circuit of power gain ensures work with the traveling-wave ratio from 0.2; there is a protection from short circuit and break of antenna-feeder circuit.

MSSG-24 Enhances MEU Vehicle Capabilities
 
 
(Source: US Marine Corps; issued July 11, web-posted July 12, 2004)
 
 
 KUWAIT --- With the enemy forces in Iraq constantly changing their tactics, some 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit Marines have been using their acclimatization time in Kuwait to make last minute preparations to their seven-ton trucks and humvees.  
 
This is true for the leathernecks of MEU Service Support Group 24, the Combat Service Support Element for the 24th MEU, who have been making their vehicles combat-ready since arriving in Kuwait over the past few weeks.  
 
“Right now we’re modifying our vehicles, attaching “adams-bars”, sandbags and outboard-facing benches to the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement trucks” said 2nd Lt. Peter Bergstrom, 24, a Seneca, Ill., native and Motor Transportation  
 
Platoon commander for Transportation Support Detachment.  
 
“The “adams-bar” is a piece of metal mounted onto the front of the [truck] to protect [gunners] from possible decapitation,” he added. “It has jagged edges to cut wire that [the enemy can hang] from overpasses.”  
 
They are also putting sandbags in the vehicles and installing outward facing benches in the bed of the 7-ton to give Marines an outward view of the area instead of facing the inside on the truck’s benches.  
 
MSSG-24 is also installing M-240G machine guns mounts into the backs of their humvees. These mounts allow the gunner to engage hostile forces from a vehicle not normally equipped with this capability  
 
“The mount will give [a gunner] the ability to fire rounds in a 360 degree angle,” said Lance Cpl. John Pontiff, 21, a Martinsville, Va., native and weapons custodian with Headquarters Detachment. “We’re also installing a cargo strap for [the gunner] to lean against [for support].  
 
Finally, the Marines are installing new door hinges on their humvees that offer more protection to the Marines during convoy operations in the rough terrain of Iraq.  
 
“These hinges are used to hold the doors of the humvees more securely,” said Lance Cpl. Jerry Schultz, 24, a Beach City, Ohio, native and welder with the Maintenance Detachment. “We started making these while we were still at Lejeune, so we used those as prototypes and brought materials to make more here.”  
 
Everyone within the MSSG is doing their part to ensure mission accomplishment, working through the blazing Kuwaiti heat with unwavering focus and determination to prepare for a successful deployment in Iraq.  
 
“I keep my eyes on the mission,” said Pontiff, “And try not to think about anything else.”

Navy Develops New Shipboard Surgical System
 
 
(Source: US Navy; issued July 9, web-posted July 12, 2004)
 
 
 PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii --- The amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa (LHA 1) held an open house July 1 at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, displaying a new shipboard surgical system developed to support Sailors and Marines during maritime interdictions.  
 
“The purpose was to disseminate the knowledge,” said Lt. Cmdr. George Linville, command amphibious task force surgeon, shipboard surgeon system team leader and trauma surgeon for Fleet Surgical Team (FST) 9. “This is a brand new baby. Nobody knows about this.”  
 
The Naval Health Research Center developed the concept of a shipboard surgical team in January after Capt. Chris Hunter, commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet surgeon, realized that Sailors and Marines aboard smaller ships were going to be taking casualties during maritime interdictions, shipboard seizures and other operations.  
 
“We are out there to support our own Sailors and Soldiers who take casualties,” said Linville. “The [goal] is to provide surgical support to our Sailors and Marines who are involved in these maritime interdictions.”  
 
The shipboard surgical team will deploy via an MH60 helicopter from a big deck ship to a smaller ship within the expeditionary strike group (ESG). Linville said with split operations, ships within an ESG would be scattered in many different places.  
 
The team constructs a small-scale operating room within the mess decks of a smaller ship, using an authorized minimal medical allowance list (or their equipment) designed by the Naval Health Research Center to support operations in small spaces.  
 
Linville said the biggest hurdle was designing a required operational facility.  
 
“The biggest hurdle was overcoming the austere environment into which we were set,” he said. “We’re taking capability into an environment that’s not supportive of that capability.”  
 
For example, the shipboard surgical team uses a five-pound anesthesia machine as opposed to a 600-pound machine that is used on a big deck ship.  
 
In the initial tests, the team determined that the maximum distance they could deploy would be about 100 miles. However, the helicopter would have to refuel aboard the smaller ship, thereby losing valuable time.  
 
Representatives from the United States, Canada, Chile, Australia, South Korea and Japan all came to view the new system, hoping that the information might help out their ships as well.  
 
“It’s important that our allies also understand that we have this capability and we can support their ships [and] sailors surgically,” said Linville. “When you have such a complex operation in its infancy, we have to keep our mind open, be flexible [and] know that we are going to change our minds about various things to improve upon what we have developed.”  
 
Although the surgical system is fully operational, Linville said various tests would be implemented over the next year to ensure the team reaches its maximum capabilities.

U.S. Commander Mulls Bosnia-Herzegovina Troop Cut
 
 
(Source: US Department of Defense; issued July 12, 2004)
 
 
 WASHINGTON --- It’s likely time to reduce the number of American troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a senior U.S. military officer told members of Congress here today.  
 
“I think that the conditions are right, now, to downsize” the U.S. military presence in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Army Maj. Gen. Virgil Packett, commander of the Stabilization Force in Bosnia-Herzegovina, told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee.  
 
Up to 60,000 U.S. troops were deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the mid-1990s as part of a NATO mission to stabilize the region following a bloody civil war. Today, about 9,000 American troops, Packett noted, are pulling security duty in Bosnia-Herzegovina.  
 
The Dayton Peace Accords, initiated in November 1995 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, provided the framework for cessation of warfare in Bosnia-Herzegovina.  
 
At the recent NATO summit at Istanbul, Turkey, leaders agreed to end the alliance’s nine-year mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina and transfer security responsibilities to the European Union by the end of this year.  
 
Packett acknowledged “significant challenges” remain ahead in that part of the Balkans, such as the removal of land mines and capturing and trying alleged war criminals.  
 
Yet, before any troop cuts are made, “we need an incubation period,” the two- star general pointed out, “to make sure that this level is, in fact, OK, to make sure that it’s going to allow us to meet our objectives, and to ensure we have the right level of force” as the end of the year approaches.  
 
“But,” Packett reiterated, “I think the conditions are right to downsize.”  
 
Packett didn’t offer what numbers of U.S. troops, if any, would remain in Bosnia-Herzegovina after force reductions.
