O quê????? :? Com certeza para reduzir os custos, porque o JSS canadiano, por exemplo, tem quanto a mim mais cara de... JSS.Citação de: "pedro"E para alem do mais o ministerio da defesa Holandes esta a receber creio que é 5.3% do pib holandes
As despesas de defesa da Holanda situam-se em mais ou menos 1,6 % do PIB (~2,7 % do orçamento do estado se não estou enganado). Creio que não há um único país, fora África e Médio Oriente, com despesas de defesa acima dos 5% do PIB.
O quê?????Outro LPD para a Holanda???.... Não acham que 3 navios logísticos para um país como a Holanda é demasiado?
New Netherlands JSS
Dutch Plan for Their Largest Naval Ship Ever
Posted by Joris Janssen Lok at 1/15/2008 6:16 AM
The backbone of a modern, 21st-century navy isn't its surface combatants or submarines. It is the large amphibious and/or logistic support ships it can deploy to trouble spots around the world, carrying helicopters, hospital facilities, an embarked landing force, supplies, fuel and a suite of C4I facilities. The Netherlands is planning to build its largest ship ever to be able to do just that.
The new ship is designated the Joint Support Ship (JSS) and will have a displacement of 26,000 tons -- making it a tight fit to squeeze into Den Helder Naval Base.
The JSS is to be ready by 2014 and design of the ship (by the Defense Materiel Organization DMO in close conjunction with TNO Defence & Security, Schelde Naval Shipbuilding, Imtech, Thales, and other industry partners) is starting for real now that the program to build four new Patrol Ships has moved into the production phase.
The plan to build a JSS was first published in the 2005 Naval Study. The ship is to replace the fleet replenishment oiler HrMs Zuiderkruis. The JSS will have a large flight deck capable of supporting Boeing CH-47F Chinook helicopters.
It will also be able to replenish other naval ships at sea, provide strategic sealift of strategic military equipment, and act as a seabase during crisis response operations worldwide.
The JSS will join two Landing Platform Dock (LPD)-type ships that entered service with the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) in 1998 and 2007, respectively (see the Jan/Feb issue of Defense Technology International (DTI) for more detail about these).
Like these LPDs, the JSS will be based on Schelde's Enforcer family of large support ship designs (this was also used as the design for Britain's four new Bay-class amphibious support ships).
Although senior sources in the RNLN so far have not been willing to confirm this, a logical step would be to try and get approval for a second JSS to replace the other fleet replenishment oiler in the Dutch fleet, HrMs Amsterdam, toward the end of the coming decade.
After all, one JSS equals no JSS if the ship happens to be in dock for a major refit at the time a sudden crisis erupts.
With a ship like the JSS, the Netherlands will be able to sea-base a significant aviation, logistic, C4I, disaster relief and humanitarian aid capability right offshore a crisis area struck by a natural or man-made disaster, a civil war or other major disruption.
Entao é o meu livro de economia que esta errado. :wink:
Se quiser verificar por si próprio, aqui está o link para a página do orçamento de estado no site do Ministerie Van Financiën:
http://www.minfin.nl/nl/onderwerpen,beg ... _2006.html (http://www.minfin.nl/nl/onderwerpen,begroting/inkomsten_x_uitgaven/uitgaven_van_het_rijk_2006.html)
Está tudo no final da página. Basta fazer um cálculo simples. Pode haver alguma variação em relação aos anos anteriores, mas de qualquer forma nunca mais de 0.2 a 0.3 pontos percentuais. Alias, não me lembro que as despesas de defesa da Holanda já tenham representado mais de 5% do PIB; talvez durante a guerra fria...
Cumprimentos.
Pelo que sei a Marinha Holandesa possui 2 LPDs, mas a Aviação Naval apenas conta com Lynxs.
A minha pergunta é:
Está previsto equipar a Marinha Holandesa com helicopteros de transporte para operar a partir dos LPD ou usam os helicopteros da Força Aérea, Chinooks e Cougars?
Pelo que sei a Marinha Holandesa possui 2 LPDs, mas a Aviação Naval apenas conta com Lynxs.
Vão usar os Helis Chinook e Cougars.
Citação de: "Typhonman"Vão usar os Helis Chinook e Cougars.
E cabem nos hangars dos LPDs? Dobram as pás e a cauda (no caso do Cougar)?
Pergunto porque nunca vi imagens disso..
Obrigado AMRAAM, mas no ultimo site, não consigo ver a imagem.
Citação de: "Lightning"Obrigado AMRAAM, mas no ultimo site, não consigo ver a imagem.He intentado visitar de nuevo en el link que deje,y si he podido meterme y ver la recreacion virtual alli presente..Quizas sea problema de tu PC,o puede ser que te falte algun plugin,lo cierto es que no se por que puede ser.. :wink:

A Marinha Holandesa tem dois LPDs e não anda muito preocupada em possuir helicopteros de transporte, porque é que então a Marinha Portuguesa, que não tem nenhum LPD, havia de estar?
É por estas e por outras que eu penso que daqui a uns anos o "Zuiderkruis" estará cá para substituir o "Bérrio". :arrow: http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articl ... -ship.html (http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/release/110518/dutch-mps-approve-new-fleet-supply-ship.html)
HNLMS Zuiderkruis (A832) is one of two replenishment ships serving with the Royal Netherlands Navy. The Zuiderkruis entered service in 1975.

First Holland-class OPV set for launch, SIGNALS
The first of four Holland-class offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for the Royal Netherlands Navy will be launched at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding's facility in Vlissingen on 2 February.
The 3,750-ton OPVs are being built under Project Patrouilleschepen; contracts for the design and build of the four ships were awarded to Damen and Thales Nederland - worth EUR240 million (USD310 million) and EUR125 million respectively - in December 2007.
uma apostinha que ainda entra ao serviço antes de um certo "navio" cujo nome agora não me lembro...?É... Eu tenho o nome para aí escrito em qualquer lado, mas também já não me lembro.
Calma, apesar de atrasos temos mellhor pessoal que a Armada da Holanda.Qual pessoal? Aquele soldado português que queria fazer um cinzeiro da bomblet?

Le nouveau patrouilleur néerlandais à la mer avec son mât intégré
(https://www.forumdefesa.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.meretmarine.com%2Fobjets%2F500%2F42374.jpg&hash=50236a34b506c9c578ac85ce96a120cf)
13/03/2012
Le Holland, premier des nouveaux patrouilleurs hauturiers néerlandais du type OGPV, a débuté ses essais en mer avec son mât intégré. Construit par Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) à Flessingue, le bâtiment avait d'abord réalisé l'an dernier ses essais de plateforme sans son Integrated Mast 400, qui a été intégré par Thales fin 2011. Développé par la filiale néerlandaise de l'électronicien, cet équipement permet de rassembler en une seule et même structure la plupart de senseurs du navire. L'IM400 du Holland comprend, ainsi, un radar de veille air à quatre faces planes SeaMaster 400 (bande S), dérivé des SMART et APAR. La veille surface est assurée par un radar fixe Seawatcher (également à quatre faces, bande X), qui peut aussi assurer le guidage de l'hélicoptère embarqué. L'IM400 comprend, par ailleurs, un système électro-optique (IR/TV) de surveillance et d'alerte Gatekeeper. Ce système, avec une capacité de détection à 360 degrés, a été conçu pour traiter les menaces asymétriques, comme les attaques de petites embarcations rapides, de drones aériens ou de nageurs de combat. Le mât accueille enfin l'Integrated Communication Antenna System (ICAS), qui permet l'utilisation de systèmes de communication VHF/UHF et peut mettre en oeuvre une liaison de données tactique (L16), ainsi qu'un système d'identification « Friend or Foe » NR IFF.
Long de 108.4 mètres pour une largeur de 16 mètres, le Holland affiche un déplacement en charge de 3745 tonnes. Dotés d'un système de mise à l'eau pour embarcations rapides et d'une plateforme/hangar pour un hélicoptère de type NH90, il met en oeuvre une tourelle de 76mm, un canon de 27mm télé-opéré, ainsi que de l'artillerie légère. L'équipage sera limité à 50 marins mais le bâtiment a une capacité d'hébergement de 90 personnes. La propulsion, assurée par deux moteurs diesels de 5400 kW, permet au patrouilleur néerlandais d'atteindre la vitesse de 21.5 noeuds et de franchir 5000 nautiques à 15 noeuds.
Le Holland comptera trois sisterships : Le Zeeland, réalisé comme lui à Flessingue et livré en octobre dernier à la marine néerlandaise, ainsi que les Friesland et Groningen, construits par le chantier Damen de Galati, en Roumanie (l'achèvement de ces unités se déroule aux Pays-Bas).
Calma, apesar de atrasos temos mellhor pessoal que a Armada da Holanda.Não acho que o caso de Srebrenica seja suficiente para qualificar umas forças armadas e muito menos um país. O que é que lhe diz que se fossem portugueses ou mexicanos as coisas seriam forçosamente diferentes?
Ver o caso de srebenica etc...
Dia da Marinha Real Holandesa.
O que sinceramente mais me desagradou foi os Navios Portugueses, sairam bem mais cedo do que o previsto para fundear ao largo de Den Helder. Em relaçao à Sagres saiu mas muito sinceramente sem o brio de "de outra ora", os tempos agora sao outros... Os militares nao estavam em formatura, nao mostraram nem a pequena vela com a Cruz de Cristo, nem qualquer som. Noutro meu tempo era diferente, mas agora estou desatualizado dessas andanças. Peço desculpa mas foi o que senti e sinto pelo que vi. Peço desculpa.
Defence to Sell Off Biggest Navy Ship Before It Is Finished
(Source: Dutch News; published September 5, 2013)
THE HAGUE --- The defence ministry has to find over 300 million euros of extra savings. The Dutch navy's biggest vessel, currently being built n Vlissingen will be sold before it is commissioned, Trouw newspaper reported Wednesday.
The scrapping of the logistics support ship, which was to be the biggest and tallest ship in the Dutch navy, is part of a 330 million euro pruning operation, according to the paper. Where the navy gives up a ship, an entire battalion will be scrapped in the army.
The air force will also have to make do with six or seven fewer F16 fighter aircraft. At the same time, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft is being chosen as the successor to this fleet. The number of JSFs will depend on the price. A ceiling of 4 billion euros will apply to the total order.
These measures, to be announced on Prince's Day (17 September), are on top of the 1 billion euros in cutbacks that Defence had already been saddled with earlier. As part of this, 12,000 jobs will be lost, mostly in the higher echelons.
According to Trouw, while the Karel Doorman (which will cost over 400 million euros), is being sold, at the same time, a new but smaller and cheaper supply ship will be built. HMS Amsterdam (commissioned in 1995), now sailing in the Caribbean, will also have to remain in service longer than planned.
The navy will also have to sacrifice a company, which involves 180 to 200 people. Which battalion will be scrapped is not yet clear. It could be one of the four armoured infantry battalions, possibly one of the two stationed in Havelte.
The scrapping of a battalion costs between 600 and 650 jobs. Additionally, the pruning of support services is to yield savings of 40 million euros.

The system will be installed on HNLMS Rotterdam, to replace its 30-year old DA08 radar system. The NS100 will be installed in the second semester of 2017, in line with the ship’s maintenance schedule.
The Royal Netherlands Navy selected Thales’s NS100 system because of its performance and its proven AESA technology. This technology enables a 3D cue to be given to both Goalkeeper Close-In Weapon Systems on the ship. Furthermore, the selection for this radar has numerous logistic advantages since the Royal Netherlands Navy already operates the latest generation of Thales AESA radars on the majority of its vessels. The NS100 radar incorporates a Thales IFF mode 5/S subsystem, making the Royal Netherlands Navy one of the first navies in the world to deploy this modern standard.
Geert van der Molen, Vice-President Surface Radar. “The NS100 radar confirms Thales’s leading position world-wide in naval radar systems. Its unique dual-axis multi-beam technology gives the user a definite advantage in modern-day missions. We are proud of this new member of our AESA radar family.”
About NS100
The NS100 is the newest member of Thales’s S-band AESA radar family. It is the first radar world-wide using dual-axis multi-beam technology, which significantly enhances situational awareness in a littoral environment. NS100 is a multi-sensor integrated platform: in addition to the S-band radar, the system is designed to include the Scout Mk3 FMCW radar, the IFF mode 5/S interrogator and transponder, an IR camera, AIS and ADS-B. Positioning all sensors at the best topside position optimizes the overall field of view. The highly modular and scalable NS100 enables a tailor-made sensor for customer specific requirements and operational profiles. Radar performance is increased by adding RX and TX Building Blocks, answering to the need set by a wide range of naval ships and missions. The flexible radar architecture enables through-life introduction of new capabilities.
The Netherlands Defence Material Organisation (DMO) formally handed over the 28,000-ton Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS) HNLMS Karel Doorman to the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) on 24 September.(https://www.forumdefesa.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.janes.com%2Fimages%2Fassets%2F800%2F54800%2F1531404_-_main.jpg&hash=c004380b69e4a73d08c608df977c41f0)
The ceremony marked the successful completion of the majority of the ship's sea acceptance test programme, a DMO spokesperson said. Karel Doorman will now start its work-up trajectory, with a view to achieving full operational readiness by mid-2016.
Built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding yard in Vlissingen under a contract signed in December 2009, Karel Doorman was laid down in June 2011 and launched in October 2012. Before completion the ship found itself in 2013 declared surplus to requirements under austerity-driven defence budget cuts. The decision was reversed by the Dutch government and it officially entered service with the RNLN on 24 April 2015.
Following commissioning, the ship embarked on a nine-week deployment to Norway, Canada, the United States, and the Dutch Antilles where it conducted warm weather trials, and underwater and magnetic signature testing under DMO supervision. In addition to the DMO's test programme, Karel Doorman was used for replenishment at sea operations throughout the nine weeks, transport of equipment to the Dutch Antilles, and successful trials with a Bell-Boeing MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. It also participated in the annual 'Hurricane Exercise' ('HUREX 2015'), demonstrating the versatility and potential of the ship, the spokesperson said.
Prior to commissioning, in November 2014 the ship also completed a three-month deployment to West Africa to deliver aid to Ebola-struck countries.
BI-NATIONAL REPLACEMENT
The current generation of M-frigates is (besides the Belgian navy) also operated by the Portuguese and Chilean navies. All these M-frigates will reach the end of their lifespan somewhere before 2030. Some of these frigates will undergo a life extension. However, the Netherlands and Belgium plan to jointly develop and procure the successors of the M-frigate for their navies.
Já há uns tempos atrás tinha sugerido isso mesmo. Como a Marinha continua a ter nos seus planos uma eventual aquisição de duas fragatas AAW, as Zeven encaixariam na perfeição, mesmo apesar de em 2029 se tratarem de navios com 25 anos. O cenário mais plausível, quanto a mim, são duas para PT e duas para o Chile.

Para mim o ideal era virem as quatro unidades, entre 2027 e 2030 para substituírem as VdG, e uns anos depois, lá para 2035 abatermos as BD.
A ser tentado, o negócio, poder-se-ia abordar a hipótese do Rotterdam fazer parte do pacote, e que pacote, pois a ser concretizado ficávamos com uma classe de Fragatas com excelentes capacidades na Luta AA/AS/ASW que, pelas minhas contas, durariam mais uns vinte anos ao nosso serviço, pois deviam durar até 2050 no mínimo !!
Quanto a custos penso que o " Pacote " ficaria por uns mil milhões de Euros mais coisa menos coisa.
O único senão para mim é o facto das guarnições serem de 200 almas p/ Fragata, mas não se pode ter tudo sem custos.

Tiraste-me as palavras do teclado, tenente. ;)
Dificilmente conseguiremos os quatro (se a Marinha os quiser, obviamente). São excelentes navios e vai, de certeza, haver muita competição para os adquirir em segunda-mão.
Se houvesse pensamento estratégico cá pelo burgo, já estaríamos atrelados a estes projectos: novas M para substituir as actuais a partir de 2035, CSS para substituir o Bérrio e desempenhar algumas funções de NPL e uns 4 MCM para restituir uma capacidade que muita falta faz a um país com uma jurisdição marítima gigantesca, mas que dispõe somente de uma única base naval. Ah, e nunca é demais recordar a enorme lacuna na actual esquadrilha de submarinos: somente dois submarinos.

SMART-L MM/N BMD radar installed on first LCF frigate
Richard Scott, London - Jane's Navy International
26 March 2019
The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) air defence and command frigate (LCF) HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën has become the first ship of its class to receive the new SMART-L MM/N L-band long-range radar.

HNLMS %3CI%3EDe Zeven Provinciën%3C/I%3E has become the first LCF frigate to receive the new SMART-L MM/N L-band long-range radar. (Thales)
Developed and manufactured by Thales Nederland, the SMART-L MM/N radar (previously known as SMART-L Early Warning Capability [EWC]) is being procured as part of a combat systems upgrade that will confer the RNLN's four LCF ships with a maritime ballistic missile defence (MBMD) early warning capability. This will form part of the Netherlands' national contribution to NATO's Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) capability.
SMART-L MM/N is a new active electronically scanned array radar, using Gallium Nitride transmit/receive modules, designed to detect air, surface, and high-speed exo-atmospheric targets out to an instrumented range of 2,000 km.
https://www.janes.com/article/87470/smart-l-mm-n-bmd-radar-installed-on-first-lcf-frigate
On 9 March, a major milestone in the development of SMART-L EWC was reached: installed on a test tower in Hengelo, the demonstration module produced its first air picture.
Looking to the west in a 90 degree angle, the radar provided a clear image of the sky over the Netherlands, the North Sea and a part of the UK.
After all systems were switched on for the first time the screen in the control room instantaneously filled with more than a hundred aircraft tracks. Proof that the radar works as expected. The system is operating in AAW mode, with an instrumented range of 480 km. In the course of this year, work on de demonstration module will continue and its performance will increase. Towards the end of the year we expect to be able to operate the system in Ballistic Missile Defence mode, with a range of 2000 km.
In 2012 Thales received a contract from the Royal Netherlands Navy for the update of the four SMART-L volume search radars on board of the De Zeven Provinciën class vessels. This update is to increase the radar’s range to 2000 km, making this sensor suitable for the early detection of ballistic missiles. The first SMART-L EWC (Early Warning Capability) is expected to be installed on board of the ship in 2018.
In 2015 the Royal Netherlands Air Force contracted two ground-based SMART-L EWC systems as replacements for the aging MPR sensors that are presently guarding the Netherlands’ air space. Together with this contract, the Defence Materiel Organization and Thales signed a contract that committed Thales to all maintenance activities of the four naval and the two ground-based SMART-L EWC systems.

Considering the advantages of such a capability, but also the expectations that in the future it is more likely that smaller, for instance company-sized, units will be deployedfor SOF/SOC operations, all large surface units would preferably have such an inherent amphibious capability. Combining the earlier mentioned BMD-platform with an amphibious ship design, a so-called crossover, provides an interesting angle to approach the challenge of the future replacement programs of present amphibious capability and all high-end warfare frigates.
Especially considering the RNLMC is able to field six special operations capable raiding squadrons, which can operate independently, support SOF-operations, andoperate together as battalions. Independent crossover frigates can have a significantflexibility to execute the tasks within the three naval roles and the adaptability to operate in low-intensity and high-intensity environments. Subsequently, a number of crossovers operating together are able to create a potent flexible navy/marine expeditionary task group on a European level.
O que vale é que o pessoal é imune à guerra de minas e não precisa destas merdas. Imaginem que só tínhamos uma base naval, localizada no estuário de um rio e susceptível de ser minada por um potencial IN? Ufa!
O que está a dar é o combate ao KonaViruz efectuado por militares nos inquéritos.
Anteontem fui contactado por um que me perguntou se eu sabia que a minha tinha o dito virus.
Respondi-lhe que sim e questionou-me se a srª estava em casa e eu respondi-lhe que não que estava na casa de repouso......
Ontem fui contactado por uma srª que me perguntou onde estava a minha Mãe pois o camarada da FAP que me tinha contactado esqueceu-se de registar a morada que eu tinha dado ! :bang:
Conclusão: foi necessário dois operadores de inquérito para fazerem o trabalho que deveria ter sido feito no primeiro contacto, foi gasto só o dobro do tempo, que poderia, deveria ter sido gasto a contactar outra pessoa !
É para isto que os elementos das FFAA são utilizados na luta contra o KonaViruz ???
