Some Arty soldiers are about to get their sea legs.

Soldiers will fire Army artillery and rockets from the decks of Navy ships this summer in the largest maritime exercise in the world.

For the first time last year, Marines successfully fired High Mobility Rocket Systems from the deck of the amphibious assault ship Essex. That success was a first salvo in work to integrate fires between the two forces and find ways to use their equipment in the near-shore fight.

At that time, the Marines also asked industry to submit proposals for a mobile coastal missile defense system so that once they get ashore then can fire back to the sea.

US Navy wants future ship-killing missile for its new frigate, Raytheon says

WASHINGTON — A competition for a new over-the-horizon missile destined to give the Navy’s littoral combat ship some teeth is being looked at for the FFG(X) program, Raytheon’s top executive said April 26.

The new missile program, which the Navy is looking to award by the end of the summer, is part of an effort to make the Navy’s littoral combat ship more survivable against high-end competitors such as Russia and China.

Thomas Kennedy, Raytheon’s chief executive officer, said in an earnings call that the Raytheon/Kongsberg submission known as the Naval Strike Missile is in a strong position for both LCS and for the future frigate.

“This is a program where, Raytheon and Kongsberg, as a team, we submitted a proposal for something we called The Naval Strike Missile, which is the Navy’s over-the-horizon weapon system that they need to put on the LCS. But turns out they’re also going to put them on all the future frigates,” Kennedy said.

“We think we’re in a very good position there,” he continued. “We have a system that requires minimum development. Some small changes we’ll make, but we can go into production very quickly, which is something the United States Navy needs. We are anticipating an award here in Q2 with significant more funds placed against it in the fiscal year 2019 budget to move forward with that program.”

The bidding for the over-the-horizon missile has been fraught with hurdles, with two major competitors dropping from the process leaving Raytheon and Kongsberg’s Naval Strike Missile as the team to beat.

Boeing’s Harpoon missile and Lockheed Martin’s Long-range Anti-Surface Missile both were pulled from the competition. The companies felt the competition was skewed towards the Raytheon/Kongsberg offering, Defense News reported in May.

The Naval Strike Missile has a range of more than 100 nautical miles and has target-recognition capabilities that in some cases limit the need for another ship or aircraft to hold a track on the target.

FFG(X)

If the Navy is indeed planning to add the over-the-horizon missile to the FFG(X), it gives some insight into how the ship’s concept is coming together.

The Naval Strike Missile is launched from canisters on deck similar to the Navy’s current anti-surface weapon, the Harpoon missile. That frees up the planned vertical launch cells for other missions.

Next summer will see a major milestone in the Navy’s new frigate competition as the Navy looks to accept proposals due in June 2019.

The Navy awarded $15 million contracts to Huntington Ingalls, Lockheed Martin, Austal USA, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works, and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to gin up mature designs before the Navy drops down to a single detailed design and construction contract.

All the contracts contain options that could grow the value to between $22 million and $23 million, according to the contract announcement.

Both Austal and Lockheed Martin are competing amped up versions of their littoral combat ships. Huntington Ingalls is likely offering a version of the Coast Guard’s National Security Cutter. Fincantieri is offering its FREMM design. General Dynamics is offering a patrnership with Spanish shipbuilding Navantia, for its F100 frigate.

A Marinha dos EUA (U.S. Navy) completou no final de julho a Fase I do desenvolvimento de sua primeira aeronave CAEW (Conformal Airborne Early Warning) derivada do jato Gulfstream G550, parte do Programa Integrado do CMARS (Commercial Modifications and Range Support) junto ao PMA-207 (Escritório do Programa de Transporte Aéreo Tático 207). A nova aeronave será designada NC-37B, e ficará atribuída ao Esquadrão de Testes e Avaliações (VX) 30 “Bloodhounds” baseado na Estação Aérea de Point Mugu, Califórnia.


O Gulfstream G550, com modificações estruturais, foi posteriormente modificado para abrigar equipamentos de telemetria especializados, exclusivos para aplicação pela Marinha dos EUA. O G550 está programado para substituir o antigo avião de apoio NP-3D operado a partir da NAWCWD (Naval Air Warfare Center – Weapons Division) em Point Mugu, Califórnia. As modificações estruturais da aeronave AEW permitem a instalação de um sistema de telemetria e equipamentos adicionais para apoiar futuras missões no apoio aos trabalhos de pesquisas e desenvolvimento de sistemas de mísseis.

Durante uma cerimônia de corte de fita com a participação dos executivos da Gulfstream e da liderança do PMA-207, o gerente do programa, o capitão Steven Nassau, falou sobre a complexidade dessa aquisição.

U.S. soldiers drank pubs and bars in Reykjavik, Iceland dry in a single weekend after the largest NATO military exercise since the Cold War.

A significant number of the bars were forced to make emergency beer runs under the onslaught of thirsty American sailors and Marines in town for the start of Trident Juncture 18.

Up to 7,000 U.S. military personnel left their mark on the Icelandic capital.

Fourteen sailors from the nuclear reactor department of the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan face disciplinary action in connection to LSD abuse, Navy officials confirmed this week.

Two sailors are already heading to court-martial for using, possessing and distributing the hallucinogenic drug, while three are waiting to see whether they will be charged as well, according to 7th Fleet spokesman Lt. Joe Keiley.

Another 10 sailors with the Japan-based ship were administratively disciplined on LSD-related charges, Keiley said.

A 15th sailor was also disciplined, but that person was not assigned to the carrier’s reactor department.

Keiley said the 14 reactor sailors charged or facing potential charges came from a department with more than 400 personnel.
