(Source: Lockheed Martin; issued Feb. 18, 2005)
 
 
 MOORESTOWN, N.J. --- IZAR and Lockheed Martin successfully performed initial activation of the first Aegis Weapon System equipped with the new SPY-1F radar aboard the Norwegian frigate Fridtjof Nansen (F-310) at IZAR's shipyard in Ferrol, Spain.  
 
This signifies the beginning of Integrated Weapon System (IWS) testing for the first of Norway's five new Aegis-equipped frigates.  
 
"Successful completion of this important milestone for the Norwegian Navy is a tribute to the adaptability, scalability and flexibility of the multi- mission Aegis Weapon System," said Orlando Carvalho, vice president of Surface Systems at Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems & Sensors. "We have now installed Aegis on five ship classes for four different Navy customers around the world, all delivered on-schedule and on-budget."  
 
The SPY-1F is a modified version of the AN/SPY-1D radar system designed to provide highly robust performance with Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and Standard Missile-2 capability. Lockheed Martin is responsible for system integration of all IWS elements -- including sensors, communications and weapons -- for the Fridtjof Nansen class frigates.  
 
"All the technical milestones are being achieved and we are fully confident that the frigates will exceed all expectations," said Angel Recaman, director of IZAR's Ferrol shipyard.  
 
The Aegis Weapon System includes the SPY-1 radar, the world's most advanced computer-controlled radar system. When paired with the MK 41 Vertical Launching System, it is capable of delivering missiles for every mission and threat environment in naval warfare. The Aegis Weapon System is currently deployed on more than 75 ships around the world, with 30 more ships planned. In addition to the U.S. and Norway, Aegis is the weapon system of choice for Japan, Korea and Spain. Recently, Australia selected the Aegis Weapon System for its Air Warfare Destroyer program.  
 
Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed Martin employs about 130,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products and services.

Uma curiosidade sobre este assunto:

Nunca mais ouvi a ministra norueguesa a dizer que se soubesse o que os navios podiam fazer, face ao custo, não os teria comprado.

Será que a Noruega planeia colocar alguma delas à venda?

Cumprimentos
É muito mais fácil enganar uma pessoa, que explicar-lhe que foi enganada ...

QinetiQ's Major Underwater Countermeasures Contract for New Norwegian Frigate Programme
 
 
(Source: QinetiQ; issued March 22, 2005)
 
 
 QinetiQ has signed a contract worth over $5 million for the supply and ongoing support of its LOKI torpedo countermeasures to the Royal Norwegian Navy. These will form part of the Norwegian Navy's integrated torpedo defence suite on their new Fridtjof Nansen class frigates. QinetiQ is now actively seeking to exploit its torpedo countermeasures technology in the USA, through its US operation QinetiQ inc.  
 
Steve Hendon, QinetiQ Product Manager for Surface Ship Torpedo Defence, said: "This is an important milestone in QinetiQ's product development. LOKI has been selected by the Norwegian Navy because of its acoustic performance, future proof design and ease with which it can be configured by the user. Supporting us in this are our key industrial partners, Chemring Countermeasures and J & S Marine. We believe the strategy of making use of truly world-leading intellectual property in partnership with established industry leaders is a winning one."  
 
LOKI is a maintenance-free expendable torpedo countermeasure designed as a defence mechanism against acoustic-homing torpedoes. It is one of a unique family of high performance, next generation underwater countermeasures that provide a layered defence capability for both surface ships and submarines.  
 
LOKI is capable of operating in two modes:  
 
--Jammer mode - permits the transmission of high-power pseudo random noise  
 
--Confuser mode - counters the threat of active, narrow band sonar weapons.  
 
 
LOKI is fully programmable and offers the benefits of threat-specific signal input via the external data port as well as the capability for future upgrading without recourse to the original equipment manufacturer. As a mortar-launched device LOKI is fully compatible with the Terma DL-12T launcher as well as all 130mm Mk36 launcher variants. LOKI can also be configured with rocket and pneumatic launch modules.  
 
Surface Ship Torpedo Countermeasures form part of a new QinetiQ product family. Other recent QinetiQ sea technologies include its 'Cerberus' swimmer detection sonar, Synthetic Aperture Sonar and OPTA - Fibreoptic Undersea and Land Surveillance networks.

Lockheed Martin Completes First Live Track With SPY-1F Radar Aboard Norwegian Frigate
 
 
(Source: Lockheed Martin; issued April 27, 2005)
 
 
 MOORESTOWN, NJ --- Lockheed Martin successfully completed the first live shipboard tracking exercise with its new SPY-1F multifunction phased array radar system aboard the Norwegian frigate Fridtjof Nansen (F-310).  
 
The Aegis-based system identified and tracked multiple live targets during a three-hour window of fault-free operation at Navantia's Ferrol, Spain, shipyard.  
 
"Live shipboard tracking with the SPY-1F radar represents a significant accomplishment in the Norway New Frigate first-of-class test program," said Orlando Carvalho, vice president of Surface Systems at Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems & Sensors. "Our test team has been at Navantia's Ferrol shipyard since October preparing the combat system for the acceptance testing scheduled for this summer."  
 
The SPY-1F is a modified version of the AN/SPY-1D radar system designed to provide anti-air warfare capability with the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and Standard Missile-2. Lockheed Martin is responsible for system integration of all integrated warfare system elements - including sensors, communications and weapons - for the Fridtjof Nansen class frigates.

EADS Naval Radars Equip Norwegian Coast Guard Vessels
 
 
(Source: EADS; issued Jun 3, 2005)
 
 
 MUNICH --- EADS will supply the Norwegian Coast Guard with their very successful TRS-3D naval radar to improve surveillance of Norway’s coastal waters and to guide helicopters safely in extreme weather conditions.  
 
As the Company announced on Friday, EADS Defence Electronics has been awarded an order worth several ten million euros to supply four radars and integrated identification systems (IFF). Competitors had been Thales and Ericsson. The new systems are intended to replace older equipment on board the coast guard vessels of the "Svalbard" class which are at present not capable of providing safe guidance for helicopters in all weather. The integration of the systems on board the ships will be carried out in close collaboration with Norwegian companies.  
 
This means Norwegian industry will take on valuable work packages particularly in the areas of installation and logistics. Moreover, EADS is offering a long-term collaboration with the Norwegian small-to-medium-sized enterprises involved.  
 
“You need extremely powerful sensors to create a comprehensive picture of the situation in the Norwegian littoral environment in order to ensure safety under extreme environmental conditions and even guide helicopters safely onto the deck”, said Bernhard Gerwert, Head of EADS Defence Electronics. “Our TRS-3D radar has operationally shown that it is the right answer to these complex requirements.”  
 
The TRS-3D, developed and produced by EADS Defence Electronics, is a 3-dimensional multimode naval radar for air and sea surveillance. It is deployed on the German frigates of the F122 type and will also be installed in the new K130 corvettes. Recently, the TRS-3D was selected for the new ships of the Deepwater programme for the US Coast Guard as well as for the US Navy’s LCS programme.  
 
In all, it is deployed by naval forces in more than 40 units around the world. On board the Norwegian Coast Guard vessels, the radar will be used in combination with the integrated IFF system MSSR 2000I which automatically transmits encrypted signals for identifying aircraft and vessels and intercepts and evaluates their response signal.  
 
The TRS-3D is available in different versions and can serve as a stand-alone radar for the special requirements of smaller ships operating in costal waters or as the main squadron and self-defence radar on frigates and large ships. It is used for automatically locating and tracking all types of air and sea targets. Thanks to the latest signal processing technologies, the TRS-3D is particularly suited for the early detection of low flying or fast moving objects, such as guided missiles, high-speed patrol boats or unmanned aerial vehicles under extreme environmental conditions.  
 
EADS Defence Electronics is the Group’s Sensors, Avionics and Electronic Warfare House and is an integrated part of the EADS Defence and Security Systems Division (DS). DS, with revenues of about EUR 5.4 billion in 2004 and roughly 24,000 employees across ten nations, forms the defence pole within EADS. It offers integrated systems solutions to the new challenges confronting armed forces and homeland security units. It is active in the areas of military aircraft, missile systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems with manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), battlefield management systems, defence electronics, sensors and avionics, and related services.  
 
EADS is a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. In 2004, EADS generated revenues of EUR 31.8 billion and employed a workforce of about 110,000.

Navantia Launches Norwegian Frigate as a Work Milestone
 
 
(Source: Navantia (formerly IZAR; dated May 25, web-posted June 6, 2005)
 
 
 As a sign of respect to the 4 auxiliary companies’ workers who died 2 weeks ago, Navantia cancels the celebration around the launching.  
 
On Wednesday, 25th of May, the Fene-Ferrol shipyard has launched the frigate F-311 "Roald Amundsen", the second of the series of five that Navantia is building for the Royal Norwegian Navy.  
 
The launching has taken place as a work event, as a sign of respect to the 4 victims from the auxiliary companies that lost their lives on 11th May on board the frigate. The celebrations around this event were immediately cancelled when the news was known, and only a very reduced delegation from the Norwegian Navy attended the event, including the godmother, Helle Christine Jacobsen, great grandaughter of the explorer Amundsen.  
 
The top representative from Navantia attending the event was its President, Juan Pedro Gómez.  
 
The frigate launched today is the second of the series of five, and will be commissioned to the Norwegian Navy in September 2006.
