Menacho, en dos palabras IM PRESIONANTE (como dijo Jesulín). ¿Puedo usar alguna foto como fondo de escritorio?Enhorabuena por las fotos.
Me refiero a las cazadas en Talavera, que la tierra tira...Saludotes
Menacho, há alguma razão em especial para continuar a colocar imagens de tamanho exagerado depois de já ter sido alertado INÚMERAS vezes para não o fazer?! :oops: En cualquier caso es facil instalarle al for un mod que iguala el tamanho de todas as fotografias que se pongan, solo si se hace click en ella, se agranda.Es cuestao de mala memoria.................

España participa en el Proyecto NeuronEl Consejo de Ministros autorizó la suscripción del memorando de entendimiento entre España y Francia relativo a la cooperación para un demostrador de vehículo aéreo no tripulado de combate (UCA), denominado 'NEURON'. La participación en el proyecto tiene un coste de 35.500.000 euros, que se distribuirán en los ejercicios del 2007 al 2012, según la referencia del Consejo de ministros, que recuerda que este proyecto de desarrollo corporativo del demostrador tecnológico comenzó en septiembre de 2004. El UCAV NEURON es un vehículo aéreo no tripulado de combate para misiones aire-suelo, que integra tecnologías de última generación y que es capaz de realizar su misión de forma autónoma. Se prevé que esté listo entre 2011 y 2012 y, además de España, está previsto que participen en este proyecto, a través de acuerdos bilaterales, Suecia, Italia, Grecia y Suiza
UCAV nEUROnnEUROn (formerly spelled "Neuron") is the "European UCAV technology demonstrator". This delta wing stealth Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle project is the final phase of the French Dassault Aviation LOGIDUC 3-step stealth "combat drone" programme. Until June 2005, the UCAV nEUROn design was a full scale evolution of the twin-engine AVE-C Moyen Duc (2001) tactical UAV whose appearance was inspired by the stealth bomber Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. The full scale replica unveiled at the Paris Air Show 2005 revealed the original design was revised to a "less ambitious" single-engine delta. The nEUROn development, originally planned by Dassault as "AVE Grand Duc", evolved to an European cooperation including Swedish Saab, Greek EAB, Swiss RUAG Aerospace, Spanish EADS CASA and Italian Alenia. As a "technology demonstrator", a reduced number of units will be produced to explore new operational concepts for a future generation of autonomous stealth fighter aircrafts that will be produced in 2020 or 2025. However Dassault plan to primary use the data collected by the demonstrator to produce derived UCLAs. The French maker states the nEUROn's Adour engine (tuned from the SEPECAT Jaguar) will be replaced in the production version by a more powerful, specific, engine based on Snecma's M88 from the Dassault Rafale.[1]. According to the DGA, nEUROn test flights will be proceeded in France, Sweden and Italy in early 2010.[2]The nEUROn projectThe program has three stated goals: To investigate and validate the technologies that will be needed by 2015 to design next-generation combat aircraft. To validate an innovative cooperation process by establishing a European industry team responsible for developing next-generation combat aircraft. nEUROn platformAs a UCAV (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle), nEUROn will be significantly larger and more advanced than other well-known UAV systems like the MQ-1 Predator, with ranges, payloads and capabilities that approach those of manned fighter aircraft. Although the project is not yet closely defined, illustrations and statements by the consortium partners indicate that the nEUROn is envisioned as a competitive system with the American J-UCAS program's Boeing X-45C or Northrop-Grumman X-47B.Indeed, Saab's February 9, 2006 release notes that nEUROn will be a demonstrator measuring 10m long by 12m wide and weighing in at 5 tons. This is roughly the size of a Mirage 2000 fighter. The aircraft will have unmanned autonomous air-to-ground attack capabilities with precision guided munitions, relying on an advanced stealth airframe design to penetrate undetected. Another feature being contemplated is the ability to control squad flight in automatic mode from an advanced fighter like the Rafale or JAS-39 Gripen platform, grouping the nEUROns and controlling the group in a manner similar to many combat Real-time strategy (RTS) computer games.Project history & developmentsIn 1999, Dassault Aviation launched its LOGIDUC stealth UCAV program, which gave birth to the Dassault AVE-D Petit Duc that flew in July 2000 as the first stealth UAV in Europe, and to the Dassault AVE-C Moyen Duc (2001). Dassault changed the third phase name "Grand Duc" - a full scale advanced version of the Moyen Duc - to the more European sounding nEUROn, as the French project was joined by European partners to reduce its development cost. Great Britain didn't joined because it was already involved with an American similar program, neither Germany who desisted officially because the country was unable to afford the financial participation.[3]During the 2003 Paris Air Show, French Minister of Defence Mme Michèle Alliot-Marie announced a major agreement signed between the French groups EADS France, Dassault Aviation and Thales. The agreement covered a joint-venture to "realise a new unmanned military technology that covers all future activity in combat and strategic reconnaissance aeronautics" i.e. LOGIDUC's phase three, "Grand Duc".EADS leads a HALE (High Altitude, Long Endurance) UAV project.Meanwhile, the French defence procurement agency, DGA, acting as the program executive on behalf of the participating countries, has entrusted development of the first nEUROn UCAV demonstrator to Dassault Aviation and its European partners. Sub-contracts have been made with the French industrial firms Thales and EADS France and also with five European firms, Saab (Sweden), EAD (Greece), Alenia (Italy), RUAG Aerospace (Switzerland) and EADS CASA (Spain).Chief project manager Thierry Prunier comes from Dassault Aviation, and the deputy project managers are Mats Ohlson of Saab and Ermanno Bertolina of Alenia. There is a single link between the executive agency (DGA) and the prime contractor (Dassault), and it will be up to the executive agency to coordinate with the government agencies of the participating countries. It will be up to the prime contractor, meanwhile, to coordinate the work with the other industries.After Spain joined the programme in early February 2006 (Belgium could join later), work breakdown among the European industrial partners was planned as follows: [4]:Dassault Aviation: (launched European project in June 2003) Master builder Overall architectures & design Flight control system Final assembly Global testing (static & flight) Dassault claims 50% of development and is responsible for the standalone LOGIDUC programme. The nEUROn (2010) will be the third Dassault stealth UAV prototype following the AVE-D Petit Duc (2000) & AVE-C Moyen Duc (2004). The nEUROn project replaces the LOGIDUC final phase AVE Grand Duc.[5][6]Saab: (joined in December 22, 2005) Overall design Equipped fuselage Avionics Fuel system Flight testing Saab claims 25% of development and is also the coordinator for the other Swedish corporations involved.[7]Alenia Aeronautica: (joined in mid-2005) Weapon firing system Air data system Electrical system Flight testing EADS CASA: (joined in February 7, 2006) Wing Ground control station Data-link integration EAB: (joined in January 11, 2006) Rear fuselage Tail pipe Integration bench.

This phase will be followed by the development and assembly phase, and by a first flight in 2010. It is planned that the 2-year flight-test program (2010-2012) will entail about 100 sorties, including the launch of a laser-guided bomb tentatively scheduled for 2012. The initial €400 million budget was increased by €5 million in 2006 due to the addition of a modular bomb bay including a designator and a laser-guided bomb.On February 2006, DGA had announced the France will provide €202.5 million, half of the program's €405 million ($480 million) budget, while the remaining funds will be supplied by the other participating member nations. In December 2005, the Swedish defence ministry reported the national share would be €75 million, of which €66 million would be financed by Saab AB. The cost of Spain's participation to the program is estimated at €35.5 million, spread over the 2007-2012 period.Derived production UCAV unit cost is estimated by Dassault to €25 millionSpecsThe French Defence Ministry unveiled the general specs in a press release on February 9, 2006.[8]Length: 9.5 meters Wingspan: 12.5 meters Normal loaded weight: 5 tons Maximum loaded weight: 6 tons Stealth: radar & infrared Subsonic flight domain: < Mach 0.8 Mono-engine (tuned Rolls-Royce/Turboméca Adour / Snecma M88 base) Dual bomb bay Guided armaments carriage and firing abilities Piloted from a distant ground station control C3R link (Command, Communication, Control & Intelligence)
BARRACUDA TAKES TO THE AIRBy Karl SchwarzAn early start was required of the EADS test team on 2 April. On the still dark apron at the Spanish military base of San Javier on the Costa Blanca, the first job on the agenda was to perform the final checks for the Barracuda. By the time the sun rose that morning, the new unmanned air vehicle (UAV) was finally ready for its first flight. From that point onwards everything proceeded automatically: the JT15D-5C turbofan started up according to the predefined programme, the grey air vehicle with tail code 99+80 accelerated and rotated after around 800 metres of runway. About 20 minutes later the test vehicle, which weighs over three tonnes, floated back to the runway and touched down with almost centimetre accuracy on the centre line. This flight, the only one so far, signified the successful end of the first test phase, which also included extensive testing in the laboratory and on the ground in Manching. Before the flight envelope is extended in the autumn, some supplementary mission equipment now needs to be installed. The work required to do this was suspended for a while to allow the Barracuda to appear at the Berlin Air Show, where the EADS MAS business unit demonstrated its ability “to independently develop and test a demonstrator for future agile, autonomous and network-capable unmanned mission systems”. As Johann Heitzmann, CEO of Military Air Systems, explained, “This brings us closer to our goal of capturing major shares of the UAV market, which in future will continue to grow in significance and sales potential.”In advance of any orders materialising, the company had to make a heavy investment from its own resources. Together with almost 30 suppliers, EADS has invested an undisclosed sum in the new UAV over the last three years. The aim was that the Barracuda would lay the groundwork on which to develop different production variants as required. The advanced features of the experimental platform include, for example:An airframe constructed entirely out of carbon fibre composites, with internal longerons and crossbeams which are covered with large shells. On the fuselage, built in Augsburg, substantial use was made of the vacuum assisted process (VAP), which enables one to dispense with costly autoclaves. The detachable wings were built by EADS CASA in Getafe. The design dispenses with hydraulic components (apart from the landing gear, which comes from the S.211, and the nose wheel steering). Instead, electromechanical actuators produced by Liebherr are used in the “more electric aircraft”. A triplex flight control and navigation unit. This provides high operational reliability, and will pave the way to certification for flying operations in controlled airspace. The flight control computer was developed and built by MTU Aero Engines. A modular avionics system with open architecture, which facilitates the integration of a number of sensors. According to EADS, these include electro-optical and infrared cameras, laser target markers, detectors for radar beams and imaging radars. The equipment can be accommodated in a central payload bay, which could in future hold weapons too. Stealth technologies have been taken into account in the shape and positioning of the air inlet. Integration of the Pratt & Whitney JT15D was supported by MTU, which also contributed the nozzle (in this case part of the airframe). The question of which specific requirement profile the expertise gained from Barracuda will be used for remains open. At any rate, the German military have made a system for reconnaissance and monitoring deep in the operational area their top priority. It is to be procured as early as the end of the decade. “We can meet this time frame with a Barracuda derivative,” Johann Heitzmann affirmed at the Berlin Air Show. However, he was not prepared to divulge any details, although bigger wings would be one possible modification.Much will depend on exactly what requirement profiles crystallise over the coming months. In this connection it is already clear that there will have to be compromises, “since there is no system in sight that covers all the requirements,” as Lieutenant Colonel Eckstein, from the Defence Ministry pointed out. At any rate, he added, “We need the capabilities sooner rather than later to support our soldiers in their various operational scenarios.”Diehl VA Systeme sees the time factor as an opportunity for its turboprop-powered General Atomics Predator B. According to the company, this is already in service and available immediately, moreover, it satisfies all the Luftwaffe's requirements. It would seem therefore that the pressure of competition is high in the UAV area as well.
