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.”

Airbus apresenta a maqueta do H160M

http://defence-blog.com/aviation/airbus-helicopters-unveils-mockup-new-h160m-military-helicopter.html

According to the aerobuzz.fr website, the French Army is looking at a new H160M helicopter that will have provisions for a forward-firing 20mm cannon, two door-mounted 7.62mm machine guns, and the ability to launch TDA Armements Aculeus laser-guided rockets.

The H160M is the military version of the H160 medium utility helicopter being developed by Airbus Helicopters. The H160M develops for replacing SA342 Gazelles in service of French Army and also would presumably replace the AS 565 Panther (the military version of the Dauphin) in the firm’s product line.

Some French source reported that H160M military helicopter will make a maiden flight in early-2020 and upon successful completion of the test programme Airbus Helicopters will start deliveries in service by 2023.

http://www.defence24.com/kruk-programme-acquisition-of-at-least-32-helicopters-modernization-of-the-mi-24-coming-soon

Citar
It is planned that 32 attack helicopters would be acquired within the framework of the Kruk procurement programme. Nonetheless, the conclusions of the Strategic Defence Review document suggest that needs related to this type of armament bear even greater relevance, the Polish MoD informs. Requirements related to modernization of the Mi-24 gunships are being developed in parallel to the Kruk procedures. This is done for the sake of maintaining a proper level of capabilities, with the Hinds remaining operational, until their successor is acquired and introduced.

The information we have obtained from the Polish Ministry of Defence, concerning the Kruk attack helicopters acquisition programme, suggests that legal analyses are currently in progress, regarding the procurement method. – The Armament Inspectorate waits for the assessment results with regards to emergence of the “Basic National Security Interest”, which would influence further action plan – as the reply we have received from the Polish MoD’s media department reads. Assigning a status of national security interest would speed up the process making it possible to avoid involvement in a lengthy tendering procedure. It would also enable the MoD to indicate the preferred contractors and simplify the United States' involvement in the tender.

AH-64E Apache Guardian and AH-1Z Viper gunships, offered to Poland by Boeing and Bell respectively, are available solely as a part of the FMS programme. This is an intergovernmental (G2G) setting, with a rigid set of rules defining the shape of the procedure. The said rules often lack conformity with the tendering processes.

At the same time one should note that the Polish MoD has been issuing statements and declarations concerning the acquisition, requirements, defining a number of different aspects in relation to the Kruk programme since mid 2016. Back in 2016 the Parliamentary National Defence Committee received information on analytical and conceptual scrutiny undertaken by the General Staff and the Polish General Command of the Armed Forces, when it comes to the change of tactical and technological requirements, with the aforesaid “Basic National Security Interest” also being a part of the dialogue.

Modernization of the Mi-24 fleet is also considered to be a viable option. This was also confirmed by the Polish MoD, WHE. along with the information on progress, or lack of progress, in the Kruk programme, that modernization of the Mi-24 attack helicopter is also being considered as a viable option. The goal of such procedure would be to maintain operational capacity in case of the Polish Hinds at least until new Kruk-programme gunships are acquired are introduced. The release issued by the Ministry suggests that the General Command is currently analyzing options, regarding a Hind Mid-life Upgrade.

Extending the lifetimes of the Mi-24, with simultaneous provision of anti-armour capacity to the helicopter in question, are, at the moment, a priority. Not only should the above be done for the sake of maintaining the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces within that scope, as relevance which is even more critical concerns the aircrew training.

The Polish Mi-24 do not use any ATGMs as the present article is written. The armament of the Hind consists of Post-soviet unguided rockets and 12.7 mm machine gun. This renders the platform in question incapable of fighting tanks and precisely striking most of the targets, especially the moving ones. Furthermore, spare parts inventory for the four-barrel machine guns is also limited, which means that there is a risk that another piece of ordnance would be lost. Other problems include obsolete avionics and optoelectronics, or weak performance of the old engines, especially in a hot and high operational setting.

The modernization process may be completed by the domestic entities, led by the WZL-1 facility based in Łódź. Last year the above entity was overhauling the Senegalese Hinds, significantly enhancing their performance. The facility also presented a modernization package for the Polish Hind and Hip (Mi-24 and Mi-17) platforms, during the last year’s MSPO defence salon organized in Kielce. An upgrade as such would require, alongside funding, the administrator’s decisions concerning the scope of modifications that would concern armament, sensors or avionics. The above issue remains highly important within the context of installing the armament guidance systems.

Desde 1 de fevereiro, a Aviación Militar Bolivariana da Venezuela enviou à fronteira colombiana um esquadrão de bombardeiros F-16A/B Fighting Falcon para participar da Operação Aricagua 01-2018 que busca reforçar o aparelho militar venezuelano na área de fronteira convulsiva e especialmente no estado de Táchira.

O esquadrão composto por 4 aeronaves do Grupo de caça n.° 16 (dois monopostos e dois bipostos) foi desdobrado da Base Aérea El Libertador, localizada em Palo Negro (estado de Aragua) para a Base Aérea Tática Avançada Buenaventura Vivas (BAVIVAS) localizada na população de Santo Domingo (estado de Táchira) e muito perto da fronteira com a Colômbia.

O desdobramento dessas aeronaves de combate foi acompanhada por um destacamento de 58 técnicos e equipes de logística que se mudaram para esta base avançada a bordo de um avião de transporte Shaanxi Y-8.

Da mesma forma, em conformidade com a Operação Sentinel 2018, o governo venezuelano ordenou, na medida do possível, a implantação de 111 comandos das forças especiais do 322º Batalhão de Caribes “Coronel Francisco Carvajal”, especializado em contra-insurgência para a fronteira colombiana, no estado ocidental de Táchira que pode ser uma resposta ao deslocamento de militares no lado colombiano.

A transferência foi feita pelo Grupo de Transporte Aéreo Nº6 da AMB, em uma aeronave Y-8 do aeroporto José Tadeo Monagas, em Maturín, com destino ao estado de Táchira, onde “eles desempenharão funções de segurança nas fronteiras”, afirma a mensagem.

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/german-tornado-fleet-grounded-due-much-biodiesel-fuel/?no_cache=1

Citar
According to local media, the fuel used by the German Tornado fleet appears to have been mixed with ‘too much bio-diesel’.

According to news site Frankfurter Allgemeine, this was noticed during a routine check last Monday:

“The tolerance values ​​are minimally exceeded,” said Colonel Kristof Conrath of the Tactical Air Force Squadron 51. “It’s not that the aircraft would fall from the sky. For safety reasons, all tanks of the aircraft must be flushed.”

It is understood that this breakdown is particularly annoying for the Luftwaffe, as training of new Tornado pilots is already three months behind.

This comes after we reported that The German military is under-equipped to take on its upcoming role as leader of NATO’s Russian-aimed Very High Readiness Joint Task Force.

The Bundeswehr is due to take over leadership of NATO’s multinational Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) at the start of next year, but doesn’t have enough tanks, a leaked Defence Ministry document said.

Specifically, the Bundeswehr’s ninth tank brigade in Münster only has nine operational Leopard 2 tanks — even though it promised to have 44 ready for the VJTF — and only three of the promised 14 Marder armored infantry vehicles.

The paper also revealed the reason for this shortfall: a lack of spare parts and the high cost and time needed to maintain the vehicles. It added that it was also lacking night-vision equipment, automatic grenade launchers, winter clothing and body armor.

The German air force is also struggling to cover its NATO duties, the document revealed. The Luftwaffe’s main forces — the Eurofighter and Tornado fighter jets and its CH-53 transport helicopters — are only available for use an average of four months a year — the rest of the time the aircraft are grounded for repairs and rearmament.

Taiwan planeia comprar caças F-35 para se defender da China


O ministro da Defesa de Taiwan, Yen Teh-fa, anunciou hoje, no parlamento, a intenção governamental em adquirir aviões de combate norte-americanos F-35 para colmatar as necessidades defensivas do país, face à crescente intimidação militar chinesa.

Segundo Teh-fa, que falava numa reunião do Comité de Defesa e Negócios Estrangeiros do parlamento de Taiwan, a rapidez e a capacidade de aterragem vertical “satisfazem as necessidades” da Força Aérea taiwanesa, composta já por aviões F-16, norte-americanos, “Mirage 2000″, franceses, e “CCK”, locais.

Teh-fa não adiantou quantos aparelhos Taiwan pensa adquirir.

Na argumentação utilizada pelo governante de Taiwan é referida a modernização da frota aérea militar na China e as frequentes incursões de caças chineses na Zona de Identificação de Defesa Aérea taiwanesa desde 2017, razões pelas quais é necessário reforçar a capacidade de defesa do país.

A Força Aérea chinesa modernizou a sua frota graças à tecnologia de ponta que tem desenvolvido, contando também com o apoio russo.
