HELIHUB 7 Aug, 18, Source: HeliHub.com

As Sikorsky has developed various helicopter models over the years, so each has been given an ―S‖ designation. Many are well known, such as the S-76 and S-92, and others which only ever existed as office drawings and did not make it to hardware. There are also likely to be numbers in the series which have been skipped, prompted by the Marketing Department. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

AIRBUS: Raport anual 2017 - riscuri pentru planul de afaceri (33 început #270) http://www.airbus.com/investors/financial-results-and-annualreports.html#annualreports

Airbus extras 2. Business-Related Risks (cont) Programme-Specific Risks In addition to the risk factors mentioned above, the Company also faces the following programme-specific risks (while this list does not purport to be exhaustive, it highlights the current risks believed to be material by management and that could have a signifi cant impact on the Company‘s fi nancial condition and results of operations): A320neo programme. In connection with the A320neo programme, the Company faces the following main challenges: the transition from A320ceo (current engine option) to A320neo (new engine option) that began in 2016 continued with 181 deliveries in 2017; management of the internal and external supply chain pressure as a result of the industrial ramp-up; ensuring maturity and high quality service support for a growing number of operators of A320neo. The main focus will be with the further ramp-up for Airbus and both engine suppliers. For both engine suppliers, challenges are to (i) meet the delivery commitments in line with agreed schedule and ensure sufficient engine availability; (ii) fix in-service maturity issues in line with Airbus and customer expectations and mitigate the associated consequences. A400M programme. In 2017, Airbus continued with development activities toward achieving the technical capabilities. In addition, Airbus entered into discussions with OCCAR and the customer Nations that resulted in the signature of a Declaration

Pe lângă factorii de risc menționați mai sus, Compania se confruntă și cu următoarele riscuri specifice fiecărui program (în timp ce această listă nu are scopul de a fi exhaustivă, subliniază riscurile actuale considerate importante de către conducere și care ar putea avea un impact semnificativ cu privire la situația financiară și rezultatele operațiunilor societății):

În legătură cu programul A320neo, Compania se confruntă cu următoarele provocări principale: tranziția de la modelul A320ceo (opțiunea motor curent) la A320neo (opțiune motor nou) care a început în 2016 a continuat cu 181 livrări în 2017; gestionarea presiunii interne și externe a lanțului de aprovizionare ca rezultat al creșterii industriale; asigurarea unui suport matur și cu servicii de înaltă calitate pentru un număr tot mai mare de operatori A320neo. Accentul principal va fi creșterea susținută a activității a Airbus și a furnizorilor pentru cele două motoare. Pentru furnizorii celor două motoare, provocările trebuie: (i) să respecte angajamentele de livrare în conformitate cu programul convenit și să asigure disponibilitatea unui număr suficient de motoare; (ii) să corecteze problemele de scadență în conformitate cu așteptările Companiei și ale clienților Airbus și să atenueze consecințele asociate..

În 2017, Airbus a continuat activitățile de dezvoltare pentru a atinge capacitățile tehnice. În plus, la data de 5 februarie 2018, Airbus a purtat discuții cu OCCAR și cu națiunile client care s-au finalizat cu semnarea unei declarații de intenție ("DOI"), convenind asupra unei reamenajări

Page 10 of 46

of Intent (―DOI‖) on 5 February 2018 agreeing on a global re-baselining of the contract, including a revised aircraft delivery schedule, an updated technical capability roadmap and a revised retrofit schedule. The DOI represents an important step towards reaching a contractually binding agreement also mitigating the commercial exposure while satisfying customer needs with regard to capabilities and availability of the aircraft. Challenges remain on development of contractual technical capabilities and the associated costs, on securing suffi cient export orders in time, and on cost reductions. The key capabilities to be achieved remain cargo management and aerial delivery, self-defence and protection, and air to air refuelling. In addition, the A400M programme continues to face challenges in the management of the retrofi t campaign as well as providing support to enable high levels of in-service availability. A350 XWB programme. In connection with the A350 XWB programme, the Company faces the following main challenges: ensuring satisfaction of operators and high quality support to their operations; maintaining supply chain performance and production ramp-up; controlling and reducing the level of outstanding work in final assembly line; managing recurring costs during the ongoing ramp-up; maintaining customisation and ramp-up of Heads of Version; maintaining the development schedule in line with learning curve assumptions beyond the initial ramp up phase of A350-1000 XWB to ensure entry in service; maintaining attention on engine development; and customer support for new type in service.

globale a contractului, inclusiv a unui program revizuit de livrare a aeronavelor, o foaie de parcurs actualizată privind capacitățile tehnice și un program revizuirii revizuite. DOI reprezintă un pas important spre atingerea unui acord cu caracter obligatoriu din punct de vedere contractual care atenuează, de asemenea, expunerea comercială, satisfăcând în același timp nevoile clienților în ceea ce privește capacitățile și disponibilitatea aeronavei. Provocările persistă asupra dezvoltării capacităților tehnice contractuale și a costurilor aferente, la asigurarea în timp util a unor comenzi de export suficiente și la reducerea costurilor. Capacitățile cheie care trebuie atinse sunt gestionarea încărcăturii și aeriene livrarea, autoapărarea și protecția, și realimentarea aerului în aer. În plus, programul A400M continuă să se confrunte cu provocări în gestionarea campaniei retroactive și oferă suport pentru a permite un nivel ridicat de disponibilitate în funcționare.

În legătură cu programul A350 XWB, Compania se confruntă cu următoarele provocări principale: asigurarea satisfacției operatorilor și susținerea de înaltă calitate a operațiunilor acestora; menținerea performanței lanțului de aprovizionare și a creșterii producției; controlul și reducerea nivelului de muncă remarcabilă în linia de asamblare finală; gestionarea costurilor recurente în timpul creșterilor rapide de activitate; menținerea personalizării și a creșterii Heads of Version; menținerea programului de dezvoltare în conformitate cu ipotezele curbei de învățare dincolo de faza inițială de rampă A350-1000 XWB pentru a asigura intrarea în exploatare; menținerea atenției asupra dezvoltării motorului; și suport pentru clienți pentru noul tip în serviciu.

LOCKHEED MARTIN - Raport Anual 2017 - despre Sikorsky (37 început cu #263) https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/936468/000093646818000009/lmtq4201710k.htm#s8C2FE C11A01E9DF29DD472DCE3EBEC97

Securities and Exchange Commission - USA pag 72 Acquisition of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation On November 6, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Sikorsky from United Technologies Corporation (UTC) and certain of UTC‘s subsidiaries. The purchase price of the acquisition was $9.0 billion, net of cash acquired. As a result of the acquisition, Sikorsky became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. Sikorsky is a global company primarily engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and support of military and commercial helicopters. Sikorsky‘s products include military helicopters such as the Black Hawk, Seahawk, CH-53K, H-92; and commercial helicopters such as the S-76 and S-92. The acquisition enables us to extend our core business into the military and commercial rotary wing markets, allowing us to strengthen our position in the aerospace and defense industry. Further, this acquisition will expand our presence in commercial and international markets. Sikorsky has been aligned under our RMS business segment. To fund the $9.0 billion acquisition price, we utilized $6.0 billion of proceeds borrowed under a temporary 364-day revolving credit facility (the 364-day Page 13 of 46

Facility), $2.0 billion of cash on hand and $1.0 billion from the issuance of commercial paper. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we repaid all outstanding borrowings under the 364-day Facility with the proceeds from the issuance of $7.0 billion of fixed interest-rate long-term notes in a public offering (the November 2015 Notes). In the fourth quarter of 2015, we also repaid the $1.0 billion in commercial paper borrowings. Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed We accounted for the acquisition of Sikorsky as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, including the refinements described in the previous paragraph (in millions):

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using income, market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value measurements were estimated using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement. The income approach was primarily used to value the customer programs and trademarks intangible assets. The income approach indicates value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flow projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, remaining developmental effort, operational performance including company-specific synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows are adjusted to reflect the uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions, as well as the risk profile of the net cash flows utilized in the valuation. The adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Projected cash flow is discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative Page 14 of 46

risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used, as appropriate, for property, plant and equipment. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $2.8 billion of goodwill, all of which is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. Substantially all of the goodwill was assigned to our RMS business. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of our products and technologies with those of Sikorsky, costs synergies resulting from the consolidation or elimination of certain functions, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of Sikorsky. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant judgments, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The cash flows employed in the DCF analyses are based on our best estimate of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions, customer budgets, existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with suppliers, labor agreements, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.

The F-15QA, is identical to the F-15SA that Boeing is building for the Royal Saudi Air Force. It has a fly-by-wire flight control system, digital electronic warfare (EW) suite, an infrared search and track (IRST) system, and the Raytheon APG-63(v)3 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. In a typical escort configuration, the Advanced Eagle can carry 16 AIM-120 AMRAAM, four AIM9X Sidewinder short-range missiles; and two High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles. Neither the Qatari MoD nor Boeing disclosed when deliveries of the F-15 (Qatar Advanced) Eagle will begin, but it has been disclosed that they will run through to the end of 2022. The Middle-Eastern nation ordered a total of 36 fighter jets at a cost of $12 billion.

The Swedish government is authorizing its Defense Materiel Administration to finalize the purchase of the Patriot air-defense system. Defense News This authorization paves the way for the delivery of four fire units, missiles, spare parts, maintenance systems, training, and technical support. The USA‘s MIM-104 Phased Array Tracking Radar Intercept on Target (PATRIOT) anti-air missile system offers an advanced backbone for medium-range air defense, and short-range ballistic missile defense, to America and its allies. The latest PAC-3 configuration boosts a number of advanced capabilities allows it to be used for point defense against ballistic missiles. The North-European country is acquiring the missile system as part of a US foreign military sale at a cost of $3.2 billion.

The US State Department is determined to approve a possible foreign military sale to Latvia. Defense News The Eastern-European nation is looking to purchase 4 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and related equipment for an estimated cost of $200 million. UH-60M Black Hawk is a medium-lift, rotary-wing helicopter, essentially a modernized version of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. The Black Hawk features a glass cockpit featuring fly-by-wire Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) and a digitized 1553 bus-based avionics suite. The airframe is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-701D engines that generate a maximum take-off power of 2,974kW and one engine inoperative (OEI) power of 1,447kW. The UH-60M can fly at a maximum cruise speed of 280km/h and offers a maximum range of 511km. Some of the major features include wire strike protection system, anti-plow keel beams, rotor de-icing provisions, active vibration control system, foldable stabilizer and tail pylon. The deal includes the four helicopters in standard USG configuration with designated unique equipment and other systems ranging from embedded GPS to FLIR systems. Page 16 of 46

Cap. ARME DE FOC și MUNIȚIE The story of M4 Carbine (6, a început cu 297) https://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/the-usas-m4-carbine-controversy-03289/

Defense Industry Daily The Cry for Competition: How Much Is That HK In the Window? The HK416 isn‘t the only alternative out there by any means – but it has been a catalytic alternative. In an analogous situation, limited USMC deployment of mineresistant vehicles like Force Protection’s Cougar and Buffalo in Iraq, and the contrast between v-hulled casualties and Hummer casualties, led to a cascade that now looks set to remove the Hummer from a front-line combat role. The technology to deal with insurgencies that used land-mines has been proven for over 30 years – but awareness of that fact didn‘t rise within the US military and among its political overseers until an obvious counter-example was fielded. One that demonstrated proven alternatives to the limited options people had previous been shown. Likewise, the use of the high-commonality HK416 has served to sharpen awareness that the M4 might not be the best option on offer for US forces. Couple that with a major buy that looks set to re-equip large sections of the US military with a new battle rifle, and the question ―what if we can do better?‖ starts to take on real resonance. The Army‘s $375 million sole-source carbine procurement, on the basis of specifications that have not been changed to reflect these realities, is starting to raise hackles – and attract a wide spectrum of opponents. Gannett‘s Army Times quoted former Army vice chief of staff Gen. Jack Keane (ret.), who tried at the end of his tenure to update the USA‘s infantry rifle with the XM-8 project, as saying: “We are not saying the [M4 and M16 are] bad,” said “The issue for me is do our soldiers have the best rifle in their hands… The fact of the matter is that technology changes every 10 or 15 years and we should be changing with it. And that has not been our case. We have been sitting on this thing for far too long.” An aide to Sen. Tom Coburn [R-OK] agreed, and added that the substantial price reduction created by the mere threat of an open competition in 2006 was evidence that Colt had been using its sole-source status to overcharge the government. The Senator has sent a formal letter to the Secretary of the Army requesting an open competition in order to ensure both the best deal, and the best off-the shelf rifle that incorporates modern improvements. The winner could well be Colt, said Coburn‘s aide – but they should have to prove it, and earn it. ―This is supposed to be a battle rifle.‖ He said. ―We‘re supposed to have a rifle that just doesn‘t jam.‖ Impossible, of course – but one that jams far less often, and requires far less maintenance to avoid jams, while offering all of the M4‘s compactness and add-on ease… that would represent a significant step forward. Ironically, even Colt may have a better system ready to go. In a letter to Army Times magazine, Colt COO James R. Battaglini (US Marine Corps Maj. Gen., ret.) said: “The gas piston system in the H&K 416 is not a new system. Rifles were being designed with these systems in the 1920‟s. Colt proposed a piston operated weapon to the Army in the early 1960‟s. Today Colt Defense has the ability and expertise to manufacture in great numbers piston system carbines of exceptional quality should the U.S. military services initiate a combat requirement for this type of weapon” Unfortunately, fighting the Army for improvements is no easy task. Colt CEO William Keys, who is also a retired USMC General, explained out to Army Times that Colt has to build what the US Army asks for, to the Army‘s exact specifications: Page 17 of 46

“If we have a change that we think would help the gun, we go to the Army… which is not an easy process, by the way. We spent 20 years trying to get [an extractor] spring changed. They just said „well, this works good enough.‟ “ Sen. Coburn‘s letter to Secretary of the Army Peter Green took a dim view of this entire situation: “I am concerned about the Army‟s plans to procure nearly a half a million new rifles outside the any competitive procurement process… There is nothing more important to a soldier than their rifle, and there is simply no excuse for not providing our soldiers with the best weapon – not just a weapon that is “good enough”… In the years following the Army‟s requirements document [DID: for the M4 in the early 1990s], a number of manufacturers have researched, tested, and fielded weapons which, by all accounts, appear to provide significantly improved reliability. To fail to allow a free and open competition of these operational weapons is unacceptable… I believe the Army needs to rapidly revise its rifle and carbine requirements. Free and open competition will give our troops the best rifle in the world…” The positions were, and are, clear. The US Army says the M4 isn‘t broken, and adds that an Army-wide fix would cost $1 billion. Critics contend that these costs may be exaggerated given some of the potential solutions, and add that an army already planning to spend $525 million to re-equip the force with M4s has a moral and financial imperative to see if a better rifle exists. Meanwhile, calls about the M16/M4 had been coming in from Oklahoma, and other Senators and representatives had also been hearing from constituents on this matter. By 2007, a second letter from the Senate was likely if the Army dug in its heels – and that letter would have had far more signatures at the bottom. In the end, however, legislative tactics forced the Army‘s hand. The issue finally came to a head when Sen. Coburn [R-OK] exercised his ability as a Senator to block nomination of the proposed new Secretary of the Army, until the US Army relented and agreed to testing at the Army‘s Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland. Secretary Geren was confirmed shortly thereafter, in July 2007. The tests were conducted. The M4 finished last. The Army declared that performance to be acceptable. By 2010, however, there were noises about an ―Individual Carbine Competition‖, which became a full solicitation. A number of firms are lining up to provide new designs for the Army‘s next-generation carbine, including Colt. Some of them even offer alternate caliber options that could make a real difference to lethality at range, a serious need in environments like Afghanistan. By August 2011, known competitors and designs included:  Colt: CM901 multicaliber rifle (5.56mm through 7.62mm)  ADCOR: B.E.A.R. Elite (5.56mm)  FN USA: SCAR-16 (5.56mm)  HK USA: HK416 (5.56mm).  Remington: Adaptive Combat Rifle multi-caliber (5.56mm, 6.5mm Grendel, or 6.8mm) Smith & Wesson was also reported to be entering the competition, but eventually decided not to take part. The bigger question is whether this competition, like the ones before it, will ultimately prove to be an expensive mirage. As of April 2013, in the words of the old magic 8ball, ―signs point to yes.‖ Though one could also use ―outlook not so good.‖

Kalashnikov: Around the World. Hungarian AKs (Part 1/3) https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/12/26/kalashnikov-around-worldhungarian-aks-part-1/

The Firearm Blog Posted December 26, 2017

Kalashnikov Media has started a video series called ―Kalashnikov: Around the World‖. The purpose of these videos is to tell about the Kalashnikov rifles made in different countries of the world. This video series consists of short videos briefly teasing separate rifles (like AMP-69 that we posted about earlier) and more comprehensive ones in a format of an interview where Vladimir Onokoy, the technical consultant of Kalashnikov Concern, is the host and Pavel Pticin, the founder of ak-info.ru website, is the guest. Images by Kalashnikov Media and Vladimir Onokoy The interview videos start with ones telling about Hungarian AKs. You can find below the link to the Part 1. Watch the video first then let‘s discuss what we learned from it or read the article then watch the video for a more in-depth information. The video is partially in English and the part that is in Russian has English subtitles. https://kalashnikov.media/en/media/videolibrary/4516678 Hungary was one of the first countries besides the Soviet Union to start manufacturing AK rifles. Hungarian specialists (along with Chinese and Czechoslovakian ones) traveled to the Soviet Union in 1953 to learn the manufacturing technology of the rifles. The first Hungarian AKs were mass produced in 1959-1960. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Practical Accuracy of the AK in 7.62 and 5.56 by 9-Hole Reviews https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/08/05/practical-accuracy-of-the-ak-in-762-and-5-56-by-9-hole-reviews/

Over the years, conducting trials in different countries, I had countless opportunities to test the accuracy of an AK in multiple calibers. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions regarding AK accuracy, and despite people putting out good information out there, a lot of folks still think that Kalashnikov rifle can‘t hit the broad side of a barn past 100 yards. The Russian military accuracy requirement for an AK is 15 centimeters (about 5 MOA). I‘ve never seen an AK that would shoot worse than 4 MOA, and some guns are capable of consistent 1.5-2 MOA groups, with the majority of weapons demonstrating 3-4 MOA groups. For anyone who is into Kalashnikovs, this is just common knowledge, but it was not always like that. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

The next step for the Army’s network? The cloud https://www.c4isrnet.com/it-networks/2018/08/07/the-next-step-for-the-armysnetwork-the-cloud/

Defense News By: Mark Pomerleau 10 hours ago

The next step in the Army‘s plan to build a next-generation tactical network is to focus on cloud computing in the tactical environment. After a major review of its network in 2017, the Army decided to halt programs that would not address operational requirements, fix existing programs that were critical to operational shortfalls and pivot to a new acquisition methodology that allows for Page 21 of 46

the rapid insertion of new technology. Now, the Army is creating a common operating environment that enables soldiers from the command post to the vehicle to dismounted patrol to access the same information, a move leaders say will improve mission command.

The Army is setting its sights on tactical cloud computing as it continues to modernize its network. (Photo by Jen Judson/Staff)

To do that, the Army will rely on the cloud and on Aug. 1, service leaders held a tactical cloud computing day for members of industry in Raleigh, NC. ―What we‘re trying to solve is distributed mission command from home station into the tactical edge … to improve rapid decision making in a very lethal, high tempo fight,‖ Maj.

The Automated Guided Vehicle whisks past an enormous, yellow robotic arm that takes on a life of its own as it inspects the side of an array with a laser, chooses a tool and a part, and gets to work assembling a component. Raytheon will build its AN/SPY-6 radars under contract with the U.S. Navy in the new facility. The company brought its first array under contract there in June, only 18 months after the company decided to begin the project to build the new 30,000square-foot center. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Overcoming the New "Bio-Hazards" of the Spying Game http://www.israeldefense.co.il/en/node/35167

Israel Defense Ami Rojkes Dombe | 6/08/2018

One of the greatest paradoxes of the security world is the fact that anything that is good for terrorists is good for spies as well. One element wants to do evil, the other wants to do good, but as far as the technological aspect is concerned, both are expected to be harmed by the implementation of biometric identification monitoring technologies in the municipal domain Dawn Meyerriecks, Deputy Director of the CIA's Science & Technology Division, recently told CNN that "Digital surveillance, including closed-circuit television and wireless infrastructure in about 30 countries is so good that physical tracking is no longer necessary, but the CIA is spying back. "As of six months ago, the Agency has been pursuing nearly 140 artificial intelligence projects. That way, agents can try to figure out where they are being surveilled and how they might evade the camera eye. Social media and digital tracking in cell phones and other pieces of technology also present a problem.

Maybe the data says 'you went to see a movie with your family,' but maybe that's not where you actually are. It'll look like your normal pattern of life." ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Northrop Grumman Wins $95 Million Award from Department of Homeland Security to Develop Next-Generation Biometric Identification Services System https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grumman-wins-95million-award-from-department-of-homeland-security-to-develop-next-generationbiometric-identification-services-system

Northrop Grumman Cyber MCLEAN, Va. – Feb. 26, 2018 –

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has been awarded a $95 million contract by the Department of Homeland Security‘s (DHS) Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) to develop increments one and two of the Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART) system. Northrop Grumman will serve as systems developer and integrator for this 42-month effort. HART is the organization‘s next-generation recognition program, replacing the Automated Biometric Identity System (IDENT) built in the 1990s. HART is a more robust system than its predecessor and when fully implemented will perform multimodal biometric identification of individuals to enable both national security and public safety as well as benefits and services. Supporting DHS and its mission partners, HART will help the government keep pace with the growing sophistication of threats to our homeland. ―Northrop Grumman is proud to support the DHS in taking this critical biometric identity technology to the next level,‖ said Bobby Lentz, vice president, global cyber Page 30 of 46

solutions, cyber and intelligence mission solutions division, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems. ―As threats continue to evolve, HART will offer a more accurate, robust way to identify adversaries in a secure, affordable manner that scales to future needs and ensures interagency data sharing. We‘re applying advanced, proven technologies to deliver a system that performs well into the future and is poised to grow to meet tomorrow‘s homeland security needs.‖ When fully implemented, the Northrop Grumman-developed HART will feature multimodal processing and matching technology that uses a combination of face, finger and iris biometrics meeting DHS accuracy requirements. A keen focus on safeguarding personally identifiable information as well as ensuring the critical sharing of data across interagency partners underpins the technology. Using HART‘s scalable architecture, the technology will allow for vastly increased transaction volumes, new modalities and mission growth for the nation‘s largest biometric system. IDENT, originally developed in 1994, is currently the DHS-wide system for the storage and processing of biometric and limited biographic information for DHS national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence and other DHS missionrelated functions. The Office of Biometric Identity Management supports the Department of Homeland Security's responsibility to protect the nation by providing biometric identification services that help federal, state and local government decision makers accurately identify the people they encounter and determine whether those people pose a risk to the United States. Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.

Știri pe surse Florin Pușcaș, Redactor Publicat: 07/08/2018

Naval Group, lider european în construcția de nave militare, și Șantierul Naval Constanța, partenerul strategic al Marinei Române, propun corvetele din clasa Gowind 2500 pentru dotarea Forţelor Navale Române. Corvetele din gama Gowind se remarca prin modularite și prin capacitatea de a fi adapte cu ușurință cerințelor clientului, fie că e vorba de caracteristici tehnice sau echiparea cu armament de ultimă generație. Grație experientei unice si celor mai performante tehnologii militare dezvoltate, Naval Group a fost selectată să construiască 12 corvete Gowind® 2500 pentru Malaezia, Egipt și Emiratele Arabe Unite. Corvetele comandate sau în curs de construcție se remară prin caracteristicile tehnice superioare și echipamentele de luptă de ultimă generație utilizate de companie, dar evidențiază și expertiza semnificativă a constructorului francez de nave militare în ceea ce privește stabilirea unor parteneriate inovatoare, ambițioase și sustenabile cu partenerii locali, care implică un amplu transfer de tehnologie. În 2011, Malaezia a fost prima țară care a contractat șase corvete din gama Gowind. Acestea sunt construite de partenerul local Boustead Naval Shipyard cu asistență tehnică franceză. Marina Egipteană a comandat în 2014 patru corvete Gowind 2500. Prima corvetă a fost realizată în Franța, la Lorient, și livrată Egiptului anului trecut, iar celelalte sunt construite în Alexandria, în baza unui acord de transfer tehnologic. Anul trecut, Naval Group a semnat un nou contract pentru a livra două corvete Emiratelor Arabe Unite. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

..... Corvetele Gowind 2500 comandate de Egipt au 102 metri lungime, 16 metri latime si un deplasament de 2.600 de tone. Pe langa sistemul de rachete suprafata-aer 16 VL Mica si opt rachete anti-nava Exocet MM40 Block 3, corvetele Marinei Egiptene sunt echipate cu un tun de 76 mm, doua tunuri rapide de 20 mm si tuburi lanstorpile. Printre alte caracteristici se numara si un hangar care gazduieste un elicopter de 10 tone. Corvetele sunt construite pentru un echipaj format din 80 de persoane. Sistemul de propulsie diesel 10MW ofera o viteza maxima de 25 de noduri si o autonomie de 3700 de mile marine la o viteza de 15 noduri. Marina Regala Malaeziana a avut cerinte cu totul diferite in ceea ce priveste corvetele: acestea pot atinge o viteza maxima mai mare si au spatiu suplimentar pentru echipaj. Corvetele comandate de Marina Regala Malaeziana au o lungime de Page 33 of 46

110 metri, un deplasament de 3,100 de tone si pot acomoda un echipaj format din 138 de persoane. Armamentul este si el diferit fata de cel comandat de Marina Egipteana. Corvetele Marinei Regale Malaeziene sunt echipate cu tunuri de 30 mm si rachete anti-nava NSM produse de compania norvegiana Kongsberg. Atat corvetele comandate de Marina Egipteana, cat si corvetele comandate de Marina Regala Malaeziana vor fi echipate cu sistemul de management al luptei de ultima generatie SETIS - rezultatul experientei indelungate a Naval Group in proiectarea sistemelor integrate, multi-misiune si de lupta. Datorita sistemul SETIS, care ofera cele mai bune solutii de gestionare si de luare a deciziilor, Gowind® 2500 asigura suprematia in lupta pe mare si face fata cu succes atat amenintarilor conventionale, cat si celor asimetrice. Naval Group este unul dintre putinii constructori la nivel mondial de portavioane, submarine nucleare si nave militare de ultima generatie. Cu actionar majoritar statul francez, Naval Group este principalul furnizor al Marinei Franceze. Cu o vasta experienta in contracararea amenintarii prezentate de submarinele rusesti in Atlantic si Mediterana, Marina Franceza este cea mai prezenta in Marea Neagra, in cadrul unor misiuni si exercitii NATO. Santierul Naval Constanta este unul dintre cele mai mari santiere de constructii, reparatii si conversii de nave din Europa, ocupand o suprafata de aproximativ 800.000 mp. Este auditat international in privinta capabilitatii de a construi nave militare de tipul corvetelor, dar si de dimensiuni mult mai mari. Santierul Naval Constanta este partenerul strategic al Fortelor Navale Romane in reparatia si modernizarea celor mai importante nave, deruland mai multe programe in acest sens cu Marina Romana. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Din nou despre LRPV-urile pentru Norvegia https://www.rumaniamilitary.ro/din-nou-despre-lrpv-urile-pentru-norvegia

Romania Military Cristian Ganciu 7 august 2018 - 6:30

La inceputul lunii iulie va spuneam ca santierul naval Vard Tulcea va construi 3 LRPV-uri pentru Garda de Coasta a Norvegiei. Articolul il gasiti AICI: Foarte pe scurt, este vorba despre nave cu lungimea de 136m, latimea (la linia de plutire) de 22m, capacitate de navigare prin gheata. Navele sunt destinate sa inlocuisca navele clasei Nordkapp, avand ca misiuni declarate: patrularea pe distante mari, supraveghere, search & rescue, curatarea deversarilor de hidrocarburi. Livrarea navelor catre Garda de Coasta a Norvegiei urmeaza sa aiba loc esalonat, in 2022, 2023 si 2024, in primul trimestru al fiecarui an. Santierul Vard Tulcea va construi corpurile navelor pe care va trebui sa le livreze catre santierul Vard Langsten, cu cca. un an inainte de termenele mentionate mai sus, pentru a-i da timp sa efectueze asamblarea finala, armarea si probele, inainte de livrarea catre beneficiarul final.

Noua clasa de nave Stiam ca norvegienii au solicitat ca navele sa fie construite, din ratiuni de securitate, intr-un santier norvegian ceea ce m-a facut sa cred ca nu erau simple nave de Page 37 of 46

MICA NG Missile d’Interception, de Combat et d’Autodéfense – MICA, mai cunoscut. https://www.rumaniamilitary.ro/mica-ng

Romania Military George GMT 8 august 2018 - 6:00

Stirea este scurta dar implicatiile ar putea fi mari pentru Romania. Astfel, Franta s-a hotarat sa lanseze productia noi rachete MICA NG (raza +40km), am mai scris despre asta, si sa-si inlocuiasca intregul stoc de rachete MICA cu noua NG (intre 2018 si 2030). Doar ca ca din 2018 incepe retragerea MICA din aviatia franceza, introducerea MICA NG va demara abia din 2026.

Noua racheta va dispune, ca si predecesoarea sa, de doua variante de ghidare, infrarosu (IIR) si radar (RF). Livrarile, pentru Franta, vor avea loc intre 2026 si 2031. Intersant este faptul ca noua NG va avea exact aceleasi dimensiuni cu MICA clasica, astfel va putea fi folosita fara a fi nevoie de modificari pe avioane sau lansatoarele de la sol/nave. Cam aceasta este stirea, implicatiile pentru noi sunt mai profunde si au legatura atat cu programul naval (unde NAVAL Group si Fincantieri ofera VL Mica) cat mai ales cu programul SHORAD, program care prevede achizitionare a 21-22 baterii solaer impreuna cu un stoc de rachete (apreciem noi) de peste 300 de rachete (in cazul in care am cumpara VL Mica, o baterie are patru masini lansatoare a patru rachete fiecare, deci 21x4x4=336 rachete pentru un singur plin). ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Cyber Intelligence Europe Conference https://www.asdevents.com/data/media/E19001_agenda.pdf

Aerospace & Defence - Network

Cyber Security is still a major concern for many European governments. Cybercrime is at an all time high and with many leading European cities becoming ''Smart Cities'' this is creating new opportunities for criminals to attack city computer systems and infrastructures. Download Conference Agenda | Register to attend this Conference Our 6th annual Cyber Intelligence Europe conference and exhibition will be taking place in Amsterdam on the 5th - 6th September 2018. The Netherlands has been attacked in recent years by cyber criminals. In January 2018 the national tax office and banks experienced a DDoS attack on their websites. They were also hit by the Ransomware attack in 2017 that targeted many European computer systems. Cyber Intelligence Europe will provide in-depth presentations from leading government officials who create the cyber security strategies and policies for their nation. You will also hear case studies of successful threat intelligence work that stopped cybercrimes before they took place. Now in it's 6th year Cyber Intelligence Europe is the perfect opportunity to understand the challenges European governments face when dealing with cybercrimes on their infrastructures. Our event will also provide attendees with an insight into future threats that are predicted due to the constant development of IoT and Smart Cities.
