UNA NUEVA GENERACION DE BARCOS INVISIBLES

Suecia diseña un buque que no pueden detectar los radares y EEUU trabaja en su propia version de este ingenio .

La marina de EEUU investiga la construccion de unos buques de guerra de avanzada tecnologia, que pueden acercarse a sus objetivos sin ser detectados por el radar. Dos prototipos de una de estas embarcaciones, el buque de combate litoral (LCS) ,fueron en cargados por el departamento de defensa de EEUU. Se trata de una tecnologia similar a la desarrollada en suecia, cuya armada cueta ya con un buque, llamado VISBY , que ha logrado hacerse practicamente invisible a los radares . Para engañar a los sistemas de deteccion del enemigo, ademas, puede aplicarse una pintura que absorbe esas ondas , similar a la que se utiliza para revestir el bombardero fantasma B-2.
Estos barcos de reducido tonelaje seran capaces de aproximarse a la costa enemiga a una velocidad de hasta 100 kilometros por hora , lo que dificulta aun mas su deteccion por los sistemas convecionales de radar .

La Royal Navy evalua adquirir una nueva generacion de barcos de guerra que no detectan los radares. Los dos prototipos que se estan barajando son de Lockheed Martin y General Dynamics.
Las formas angulosas del casco desvian parte de las ondas del radar enemigo.Tambien se aplica una pintura que las absorbe.

Apesar dos EUA também já terem avanços neste campo através do projecto Sea Shadow.

Sea Shadow
Sea Shadow is a test craft developed under a combined program by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the Navy, and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Company. The Sea Shadow program was begun in the mid-1980s. Its purpose is to explore a variety of new technologies for surface ships, including ship control, structures, automation for reduced manning, seakeeping and signature control. In 1993-1994, the craft was revealed to the public and underwent daylight testing. Since 1994, Sea Shadow has been maintained in a lay-up status and is currently homeported at Naval Station San Diego. In anticipation of conducting future ship research and development testing, the U.S. Navy reactivated the Sea Shadow craft in early 1999. Sea Shadow will support risk reduction for future surface ship platforms such as DD 21, the Navy's 21st Century Land Attack Destroyer. The platform will allow the Navy to explore and test, in a realistic at-sea environment, important DD 21 advanced information and automation technologies that support reduced manning and ship survivability.

Boeing to Develop Navy's Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft
   
   
(Source: US Department of Defense; issued June 14, 2004)
 
   
   The Department of Defense announced today that McDonnell Douglas Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boeing Co., has been awarded a $3,889,979,744 cost-plus-award-fee contract to develop the U.S. Navy’s Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA).  
 
This milestone will launch the MMA program into the system development and demonstration (SDD) phase of the acquisition program.  During the SDD phase, the program will focus on developing a system that will significantly transform how the Navy’s maritime patrol and reconnaissance force will man, train, operate and deploy.  Ultimately, the MMA will replace the U.S. Navy's aging fleet of P-3C Orion aircraft, thereby securing the Navy’s future in long-range maritime patrol.  
 
“Today’s MMA decision represents an important milestone for the warfighter and the acquisition team,” said John Young, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition.  “Our P-3 fleet has made major contributions to operations in Afghanistan and Iraq while also performing their core maritime mission.  It is becoming urgent to replace the P-3 with a new airframe and the enhanced capability offered by MMA.  Both industry teams produced high quality proposals, and the acquisition team has worked with industry to make a good decision, on schedule.”  
 
“MMA offers a modern, highly reliable airframe which will be equipped with improved maritime surveillance and attack capability, allowing a smaller force to provide world-wide responsiveness while potentially on a smaller support infrastructure,” said Young.  
 
MMA will be a key component in the Navy’s Sea Power 21 Sea Shield concept by providing persistent anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities, supporting Sea Power 21’s Sea Strike doctrine through provisions of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.  The platform will also play a key role in the Navy’s FORCEnet architecture via development of the common undersea picture.  These operational capabilities will be key factors in providing a sustained forward presence, sea domination, and distributed and networked intelligence.

Boeing Team Wins $3.89 Billion Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft Program
   
   
(Source: Boeing Co.; issued June 14, 2004)
 
   
   ST. LOUIS --- The U.S. Navy has awarded the Boeing-led industry team a $3.89 billion contract to build the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA). The total program estimated value is approximately $15 billion over a 10-year production run.  
 
The Boeing-led team, which includes CFM International, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Smiths Aerospace will produce seven test aircraft during the program’s System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase. Plans call for up to 109 aircraft to be purchased by the Navy to replace its aging fleet of 223 P-3 aircraft.  
 
“The 737 MMA will play a critical role in the future of maritime warfare by providing the U.S. with dominance in anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare as well as reconnaissance and surveillance missions,” said Jim Albaugh, president and Chief Executive Officer of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. “As soon as the the first 737 MMA aircraft are delivered to the Navy our nation’s naval forces will have a dramatic increase in capability and reliability to take them well into the 21st century.”  
 
“For each of our team members and thousands of employees in 37 states where the work will be performed, the selection of the Boeing team means future jobs and economic stability,” Albaugh said. The MMA program will employ about 1,600 people at IDS facilities in St. Louis, Seattle and Patuxent River, Md.  
 
“The Navy looks forward to starting the MMA development effort,” said James Lackey, MMA Deputy Program Manager. “Working as a seamless government and industry team, we are eager to successfully design and develop the MMA on schedule and on cost.”  
 
The CFM56-7 engines that will power the Boeing 737 MMA are produced by CFM International, a 50/50 joint company of Snecma Moteurs and General Electric Company. This is the same engine that powers the Boeing 737 Airborne Early Warning & Control aircraft, as well as the Navy’s C-40 transport aircraft. The two CFM56-7B27A engines will each provide 27,300 pounds of takeoff thrust and support MMA’s demanding electrical output requirements to support flight deck and mission system operations. The CFM56-7 is one of the world’s most reliable engines. More than 3,000 units have been delivered to date. This fleet of engines has logged more than 30 million flight hours while maintaining an industry-leading .002 in-flight shut down rate per 1,000 flight hours. This rate translates to one event every 500,000 flight hours.  
 
Northrop Grumman's Baltimore-based Electronic Systems sector will provide the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, the directional infrared countermeasures system, and the electronic support measures system. Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems sector, based in Reston, Va., will develop data links for MMA. The company's Integrated Systems sector, based in El Segundo, Calif., will support the mission planning effort.  
 
Raytheon will provide an upgraded APS-137 Maritime Surveillance Radar and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) solutions. Raytheon is also offering its revolutionary GPS Anti-Jam, Integrated Friend or Foe, and Towed Decoy Self-Protection Suites, and the aircraft’s Broadcast Info System (BIS) and secure UHF Satcom capability.  
 
Smiths Aerospace supplies both the Flight Management and Stores Management systems on the Boeing 737 MMA. The Flight Management System provides a truly integrated open architecture that is CNS/ATM compliant along with an inherent growth path for upgrades. The Stores Management System provides a comprehensive system for the electronic control of integrated weapons management. This system is designed with standards to accommodate current and future precision weapons.  
 
A unit of The Boeing Company, Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense businesses. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $27 billion business. It provides systems solutions to its global military, government and commercial customers. It is a leading provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; the world's largest military aircraft manufacturer; the world's largest satellite manufacturer and a leading provider of space-based communications; the primary systems integrator for U.S. missile defense; NASA's largest contractor; and a global leader in launch services.

Rolls-Royce Well Positioned to Power Next Generation

Rolls-Royce Well Positioned to Power Next Generation
   
   
(Source: Rolls-Royce; issued June 14, 2004)
 
   
   Rolls-Royce has been selected by Lockheed Martin to provide MT30 gas turbine engines and waterjets for up to two ships of the Littoral Combat Ship program (LCS), the next generation of US Navy warship.  
 
LCS is being designed and built to improve the US Navy’s operational capability in the littorals, or coastal waters. Rolls-Royce’s selection as the engine and waterjet provider for the Lockheed Martin ships leaves it well positioned for the program.  
 
The Lockheed Martin ship design incorporates two Rolls-Royce MT30 marine gas turbines driving four Rolls-Royce high-speed waterjets. The first vessel is due to be launched in December 2006 by Lockheed Martin. General Dynamics will also construct up to two ships for the same class. Both designs will then be subject to further evaluation by the US Navy before production orders are placed. The overall number of ships currently projected for the Class is a total of 57.  
 
“LCS is the next generation warship and we’re delighted to help power the future for the US Navy in its defense of the homeland,” said Patrick J. Marolda, President of the Rolls-Royce naval marine business in North America. “In addition to the MT30 gas turbine, this win introduces large water jets and other advanced technology products in support of US Navy objectives.”  
 
Dr Saul Lanyado, President of the Rolls-Royce marine business, said, “The selection of MT30 represents another important milestone for our business in North America. We are already providing the MT30 for the US Navy’s DD (X) destroyer program demonstrator.  
 
“We are also looking forward to displaying our capabilities as a propulsion system integrator in addition to our ability to manufacture world-class propulsion products.”  
 
The 36MW MT30 is the most powerful, cost-effective and efficient marine gas turbine on the market today. The engine has 80 per cent commonality with the Trent 800 aero engine, and is an example of the Rolls-Royce strategy of investing once in new technologies and using these many times. The Trent 800 has won a market-leading 44 per cent of the Boeing 777 program and has achieved more than five million flying hours since entering service in 1996.  
 
In addition to its gas turbine capabilities, Rolls-Royce is a world-leader in the research, development and manufacture of high-power waterjets. Currently, several hundred Rolls-Royce waterjets are used in North America by commercial and naval vessels including the X-Craft, the US Navy’s experimental high-speed catamaran and the 11 meter Ridged Inflatable Boat used extensively by Special Operations Command.

Presenter: John Young, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition and Tom Laux, Program Executive Officer, Air ASW, Assault and Special Mission Programs


Q: Can you explain to the taxpayer why the Navy needs a $44 billion program to go after diesel submarines? The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, as we were reminded all last week. Why do we need this program to go after what a lot of people think are low-tech diesel submarines?
MR. YOUNG: Couple issues. One, the planes that are flying today and being called upon, as I said, by a factor of three or four times their normal monthly allocation of hours to do both maritime and littoral work, is 26 years old. The P-3 fleet's average age today is 26 years. So there's clear demand for the mission and a need to replace it. In the press notes here, and I may get it wrong, but there's something on the order of 40 countries, I think, operating diesel submarines. That may be high. Or maybe it's 40 submarines. Maybe I'll try to get you that.
MR. LAUX: Four hundred submarines, possibly, worldwide.
MR. YOUNG: We'll -- do you know this from this?
MR. LAUX: Yes, sir.
MR. YOUNG: Give him the details. Go ahead.
MR. LAUX: Four hundred submarines around the world. Obviously geography -- three-quarters of the earth covered with water. This continues to be a very serious threat, and currently the P-3, and in the future the MMA, is clearly the best platform for doing wide- area search and doing the localization required to track the diesel submarine. Today's modern diesel is a very, very challenging threat and this is the best platform available to prosecute that threat.
MR. YOUNG: Can I add -- I was right. The press announcement notes that there's 40 countries operating over 400 total submarines today, which approximately are assessed to be -- 75 percent of those are assessed to be modern submarines. That poses a very challenging threat for the Navy, up to and including, as you may know, that the CNO has created Task Force ASW. That threat is daunting in our war plans and it requires a response.
MMA doesn't just respond to those submarines, it also responds to surface threats. Increasingly, as you well know, in the global war on terrorism we find an important need to track vessels, be aware of the content of vessels, and pursue them. And the mission that's probably significantly increased the demand on P-3s is this surveillance and being able to do surveillance work in the littoral. So it's a multi- spectrum mission to both prosecute the surface threats, the undersea submarine threat, as well as contribute to the battle-space picture, including over- land surveillance and visibility.

Estaleiros recebem até 100 milhões de euros


Os Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo (ENVC) vão receber até 100 milhões de euros pela construção e equipamento dos dois navios de combate à poluição para a Marinha portuguesa.

A resolução do Conselho de Ministros, ontem publicada em Diário da República, que autoriza a compra dos dois navios, prevê uma despesa máxima de 84 milhões de euros, a que acrescem 15,9 milhões de euros de imposto sobre o valor acrescentado (IVA).

O contrato, adjudicado por ajuste directo, prevê a entrega do primeiro dos navios em finais de 2006, e o segundo em 2007. Os navios terão capacidade de contenção e recolha dinâmica de hidrocarbonetos derramados no mar, aplicação de dispersantes sobre mancha flutuantes e trasfegas de hidrocarbonetos para tanques próprios ou flutuantes.

A resolução ontem publicada refere que "além da colaboração na defesa do meio ambiente", os navios podem ser utilizados noutras acções da Marinha, como "apoio ao assinalamento marítimo" e "patrulha e apoio a pequenas forças em tempos de crise ou de guerra".

Os dois navios, a que se juntam outros dois patrulhas já em construção em Viana, fazem parte de um conjunto de 12 previstos no programa de renovação da frota da Armada, que deverá estar concluído em 2012.

Também nos ENVC deverá ser construído o novo navio polivalente logístico da Marinha, com capacidade para transportar 800 fuzileiros, carros de combate e até seis helicópteros.

Caro Fábio
Pelo que depreendi do texto, não se trata de construir submarinos a diesel, mas sim justificar o dinheiro que vai ser gasto na compra do MMA à Boeing. Como sabe o MMA vai substituir o P-3 C e a justificação é a existência de 40 países a operarem 400 submarinos diesel dos quais 75% são recentes, (as contas são deles, estão no texto).

CAE wins US$38 million contract for U.S. Navy MH-60S helicopter simulators

Tampa, Fla., June 16, 2004 - (NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - The United States Navy has awarded CAE USA a contract initially valued at US$38 million (C$52 million) to develop two MH-60S tactical operational flight trainers (TOFTs) and two MH-60S weapons tactics trainers (WTTs). The contract includes options for two additional MH-60S TOFTs and two additional MH-60S WTTs as well as support services that could bring the total value to more than US$75 million (C$103 million).

“This was a highly competitive procurement and a significant win for CAE USA as it represents the first U.S. Navy contract award for CAE’s Military division since re-establishing a U.S. operation in 2001,” said John Lenyo, president and general manager, CAE USA. “The U.S. Navy will be procuring several hundred MH-60 helicopters over the next decade so there is significant upside potential. We’re pleased the Navy recognized CAE’s helicopter and tactical weapons systems simulation experience and technical expertise for this critical program.”

The MH-60S TOFTs will be fixed-based simulators used to train pilots and co-pilots. The MH-60S TOFTs will be integrated with the MH-60S WTTs, which will replicate the back-end of the helicopter and be used to train sensor operators. The fully integrated solution will provide the Navy with a complete MH-60S operator training system for both flight and tactical skills.
Naval Air Station (NAS) Norfolk will be the site for the first two MH-60S TOFTs with the first ready for training in mid-2006 and the second in late 2006. The first MH-60S WTT will also go to NAS Norfolk with the second going to NAS North Island. Both will be ready for training in late 2006.

The MH-60S “Knighthawk” is a multi-mission helicopter used by the Navy for vertical replenishment, airborne mine countermeasures, combat search and rescue, anti-surface warfare, and carrier plane guard. The MH-60S, along with the new MH-60R used primarily for anti-submarine warfare, form the cornerstone of the Navy’s Helicopter Master Plan. The two aircraft share a common cockpit and technology. The Navy plans to procure more than 250 MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters through 2009 and has a total requirement for more than 500 helicopters.

This contract was awarded by the Naval Air Systems Command out of Orlando, Florida, (NAVAIR-Orlando) under the U.S Navy Training Systems Contract (TSC II). The TSC II is an omnibus contracting vehicle designed to support the training needs of the Naval Air Systems Command. CAE USA was selected last year as one of the prime contractors eligible to bid for various U.S. Navy training programs over the next eight years.

NAVAIR provides advanced warfare technologies through the efforts of a seamless, integrated, worldwide network of aviation technology experts. From aircraft and weapons development to carrier launch and recovery; from sensors to real-time communications to precision targeting; from aircraft and weapons sustainment to state-of-the-art training; NAVAIR provides dominant combat effects and matchless capabilities to the American warfighter.

CAE is a leading provider of simulation technologies and integrated training services to airlines, aircraft manufacturers, defence forces, and marine customers worldwide. The company has annual revenues in excess of C$1 billion, with manufacturing operations and training facilities in 19 countries on five continents.

SSBN Tula completes retrofit
Retrofitting of the Delfin-class ('Delta 4-class') submarine Tula has been completed at the Zvezdochka shipyard at Severodvinsk in Russia. This is the third vessel of the class to be upgraded by the yard, which has already modified the Verchoture and the Ekaterinburg. Tula arrived at the yard in mid-2000, and a ceremony to mark the completion of work was held on 6 May 2004. According to Russian press reports, the time needed for each retrofit has steadily decreased.

Each Delfin-class submarine carries 16 Makeyev RSM 54 (SS-N-23) submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM). These are three-stage liquid-propellant missiles with a launch weight of 40t and a range of 8,300km. The payload of the RSM 54 is believed to be 4-10 multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), each with a 100kT warhead and a circular error probable (CEP) of 500m. However, Russian reports of the completion of the Tula upgrade describe the missile as carrying only four warheads. Missiles are ready to fire in less than 15 minutes, and can be launched at 20-second intervals.

The readiness of the Russian ballistic-missile submarine (SSBN) fleet has been criticised by Admiral Gennady Suchkov, the former commander of the Northern Fleet. Suspended from duty last year, and blamed for the loss of the submarine K-159, Suchkov has made a number of controversial statements to the Russian press concerning the SSBN force. Of the three Project 941 Akula-class ('Typhoon-class') submarines which make up the 18th Division of nuclear submarines, only the Severstal has been equipped with RSM 52 (SS-N-20 'Sturgeon') SLBMs, he claimed, saying that the launch tubes of the Archangelsk and the Dmitriy Donskoy are empty. Production of the RSM 52 missile used by the Archangelsk has been stopped, while the new Bulava-30 solid-propellant SLBM due to arm the Dmitriy Donskoy has yet to begin flight trials.

Adm Suchkov told reporters that a decision has been taken to scrap the Akula class, saying that Admiral Vladimir Kuroyedov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, had issued an order for their retirement on 29 April 2004. This claim has been denied by the Russian Navy, which says that the Akula class will remain in service.

The only test launch of the Bulava-30 missile carried out so far was in December 2003, when a full-scale unpowered mock-up of the missile was launched from the Dmitriy Donskoy to test the weapon's underwater characteristics. A first test launch was expected in December 2004, but this date could slip as the result of an explosion at the Votkinsk mechanical engineering plant on 24 May 2004. The accident is reported to have occurred during tests of the missile's solid-propellant booster.
