QUOTE Boeing Begins Production of F/A-18E/F Distributed Targeting System
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1, 2012 -- Boeing today announced that it has started production of the new Distributed Targeting System (DTS) for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter.
DTS provides enhanced targeting capability for the Super Hornet. It is part of the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18E/F Network Centric Warfare Upgrades program and the F/A-18E/F Flight Plan, which will ensure that the Super Hornet remains ahead of emerging threats in coming decades.
The Navy granted approval for Low Rate Initial Production of DTS following successful completion of initial operational assessment flight testing at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, Calif., and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., between September 2010 and March 2011. Air Test and Evaluation Squadrons VX-31 and VX-23 conducted the tests.
“Distributed targeting is going to be a real game-changer for Super Hornet aircrews,” said Kevin Fogarty, Boeing F/A-18 and EA-18G Mission Systems director. “DTS increases pilot and aircrew situational awareness and precision targeting when engaging air-to-ground targets, in part by using geo-registration technology.”
Geo-registration technology compares images taken from tactical sensors with an onboard imagery database to produce highly accurate target coordinates.
DTS is on schedule to achieve Initial Operational Capability in January 2013.
The Boeing Super Hornet is a multirole aircraft, able to perform virtually every mission in the tactical spectrum, including air superiority, day/night strike with precision-guided weapons, fighter escort, close air support, suppression of enemy air defenses, maritime strike, reconnaissance, forward air control and tanker missions. Boeing has delivered more than 480 F/A-18E/Fs to the U.S. Navy. Every Super Hornet produced has been delivered ahead of schedule and on budget |

QUOTE(HangPC2 @ Feb 21 2012, 03:52 PM) Iran plans to design, manufacture new military aircraft
Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says the Islamic Republic has set up several projects intended to design and build new advanced stealth and fighter planes.
Speaking at the 11th Iranian Aerospace Society Conference in the capital Tehran on Monday, General Vahidi said that Iran enjoys considerable expertise to manufacture various military, fighter and passenger aircraft.
He noted that Iran has made great strides in the aviation industry through the design and mass production of its first home-made Saeqeh (Thunderbolt) fighter jet, which has joined Iran's air force fleet.
Brigadier General Vahidi highlighted that while a large number of world countries assemble airplanes under the license of a certain country, Islamic Republic of Iran produces domestically developed aircraft.
The Iranian defense minister had earlier said that the design and production of advanced home-made fighter jets reveal the competence of Iran's defense industries and prove the futility of the US-led UN sanctions and additional unilateral sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic by the US and its European allies.
Brigadier General Mohammadreza Karshki said in February 2011 that the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force has begun an extensive project to design and build the country's most advanced fighter jet.
He added that the Iranian Air Force is cooperating with the nation's Defense Ministry in the project.
The Iranian fighter jet is similar to the US-built F/A-18, although its appearance looks similar to F-5E/F Tiger II. The new single-seat bomber has the ability to track down enemy aircraft, engage in combat, target locations on the ground, and carry a load of assorted weapons and ammunition.
Iran unveiled its first squadron of Saeqeh fighter-bombers in an air show in September 2010.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.
Iran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.

PICTURES: F-35 bulks up with external weapons loadLockheed Martin's F-35 has been flown for the first time with an external weapons load, with a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) aircraft having completed a sortie with two Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles beneath its outboard wing stations. "No weapons were delivered during the mission," said Lockheed, which added that the sortie was focused on "further expanding the programme's flight test envelope". The test aircraft is also pictured with four additional external weapons stations mounted under its wing, with each of these capable of carrying one 908kg bomb. Flown from Edwards AFB in California on 16 February, the F-35A also carried a load of two Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and two GBU-31 908kg (2,000lb) precision guided-bombs within its two internal weapons bays » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by Naskah: Feb 22 2012, 02:29 PM

QUOTE(yinchet @ Oct 24 2012, 03:39 PM)  The Palestinian Islamic Jihad al-Quds Brigades in Gaza has acquired a number of FN FN2000 rifles complete with grenade launchers. Given the relatively few potential sources of these rifles, the most obvious explination is that former Libyan rebels are exporting the weapons they captured during the civil war.
