BAE to Help Navy Design, Build Electronic Warfare Receiver Tech ![]() S. subsidiary has won an $11 million contract to research, build and demonstrate a full-spectrum staring electronic support receiver with a direction finder technology for the U.S. Navy. The Navy wants the company to use electronic and photonic materials to develop the FSSR and help integrate the system into an electronic warfare platform, the Defense Department said Thursday. BAE and the military service aim to test the EW receiver in a multi-threat electromagnetic scenario through the project. Work will occur in Nashua, New Hampshire, through Oct. 6, 2018, and the Navy is obligating $2.8 million at the time of award from the branch’s fiscal 2015 research, development, test and evaluation funds. http://blog.executivebiz.com/2015/10/bae-t...-receiver-tech/ |

Syrian Kurds 'razing entire villages captured from IS' ![]() QUOTE In other cases, residents alleged that YPG fighters had ordered them to leave, threatening them with air strikes if they failed to comply. "They told us we had to leave or they would tell the US coalition that we were terrorists and their planes would hit us and our families," one person told Amnesty's researchers. In one incident, YPG fighters allegedly poured petrol on a house, threatening to set it alight with the inhabitants inside. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34511134 |

Putin's model of success ![]() QUOTE The first stages of the Russian military campaign in northern Syria have followed a familiar pattern. Heavy bombing and shelling of civilian areas preceded scorched-earth sweeps, just as in Chechnya. Assad's forces and their Lebanese and Iranian allies may have to step up their notorious brutality to match Putin's tactics in Chechnya. But they may have expert help: Kadyrov has asked Putin to send his 20,000-member personal army, known as the “kadyrovtsy,” to Syria. Kadyrov and his relationship with Putin offer another lesson to those wondering whether Putin is prepared to dispose of Assad — a prospect that Obama has bet on. The Chechen strongman is more sinister than the soft-spoken Assad; Kadyrov is known to do his own killing and torturing on occasion and brazenly orders hits on his critics. Many believe him responsible for the murder of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov last winter. http://triblive.com/opinion/featuredcommen...a#axzz3oPoUN3Wu This post has been edited by BorneoAlliance: Oct 13 2015, 11:41 AM |

Malaysian Navy establishes Quick Reaction Force to combat piracy
![]() The Royal Malaysian Navy has set up a special squad code-named the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) to combat piracy. The 14-man squad comprises two teams, namely the sharpshooters and a strike force, based in Tanjung Pengelih in the state of Johor, Malaysia. "For the time being, the teams are stationed in southern Johor waters as it is a hotspot for pirates," said Rear Admiral Mior Rosdi Mior Mohd Jaafar, assistant chief of staff exercise operations in the Anti-Sea Robbery Cooperation Working Group held in Malaysia on 6 October 2015. According to Jaafar, the team can respond within 15 minutes upon receiving a report, deploying assets such as helicopters and an assault vessel to the vicinity of the incident. "I hope with the establishment of QRF, we will manage to combat piracy effectively," Jaafar said. "It is impossible to have zero robberies, but we will work hard to reduce the figure. To do that, we have to be fast." |

Is the Caspian Sea Fleet a Game-Changer? ![]() QUOTE The analyst points out that small Russian missile ships with a displacement of 900 tons are harder to detect than the American coastal zone warships (LCS — Littoral Combat Ship) with a displacement of 4,000 tons. According to Clark, Buyan-M corvettes can be bought in large quantities, and, compared to the LCS, "surface-to-surface" missiles can be also deployed on them, so to have even more effectiveness than the one sought by the United States. The US is developing an enhanced version of the LCS, but it is unlikely it will be as good as Kalibr cruise missiles, says Clark. According to him, the US Navy should be ashamed they let it happen. http://sputniknews.com/military/20151013/1...br-missile.html |

Why are there so many talks about the caspian sea ships after that few cruise missile strikes when there are only 4 nations around it.
It has no access to an actual sea anywhere and there are no fleets there, just a flotila. |

Probably a formerly neglected way for Russia to influence things in the Middle East?
"What's that? US want to send a carrier in Arabian Gulf to threaten Iran? Why would you look at that, we actually have long-range anti-ship missiles in Caspian sea. Better think twice, bro" |

Back engineering allows PLA to customize Russian fighters ![]() Photos uploaded to a Chinese website indicate that the PLA Navy Air Force has successfully equipped its Su-30MK2 fighter with the domestic SD-10A air-to-air missile, according to Duowei News, an outlet operated by overseas Chinese, on Oct. 6. Earlier photos have shown the PLA is able to install its KG600 electronic countermeasure pod on the Su-30MKK of the PLA Air Force as well as the Su-30MK2 fighter of the PLA Navy. A Chinese military expert told Tencent News that it is a technological breakthrough for China to be able to fit domestically designed devices and weapons systems to Russian aircraft such as the Su-27 as well as the Su-30, which were designed to be equipped with Russian systems only. The Shenyang Aircraft Corporation played a key role in this breakthrough as it was responsible for producing the J-11 fighter from the design of the Su-27. With this experience, the company's engineers managed to crack the Su-27's software and then modify it. The Su-27 became the first Russian-built fighter able to fire the PL-8 short-range air-to-air missile developed in China. By fitting the Chinese-built SD-10A to the Su-30MK2 fighter, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation gained the experience it needed to further customize the Russian fighter. It can now equip the aircraft with domestic electronic countermeasure pods, electro-optical targeting systems and precision attack munitions even though the company has not received authorization from Russia to conduct such modifications. When China completes the development of the J-16 fighter, more modifications may be added to the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2. The expert said the J-16 is based on the Su-30. If the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is able to change the fire control system of the Su-27 through its experience of reverse engineering, it can do the same with the Su-30. By that time, the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 fighters may carry more advanced Chinese weapon systems such as the PL-15 medium-range air-to-air-missile, PL-10 infrared-guided air-to-air missile and satellite guided munitions, the report said. http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news/content...000066&cid=1101 |
