ima just buy any legacy hornet and upgrade it to our similar 25x capability

the 25x upgrade is ady on par with super hornet block 1

where to find legacy hornet. even jordan is not going to sell theirs yet until their new planes arrived and fully operational and that could be a good 5,6 years from now.

those hornets from usn stocks are taking even heavier beatings than ours due to metal fatigue associated with operating from an AC. prolly should ask for lease from Typhoon T1 since RAF and luftwaffe had them in storage and even australia is considering to retire their typhoon as well. or go to france and take their credit line offer

how about kuwait's F18?

anyone know why these paskau members got only half mag full?

Raytheon Anschütz submarine systems maneuver through acceptance tests

13. July 2017  Defense News

Navigation, steering and control technologies completed the Sea Acceptance Test onboard the newest submarine for the Indonesian Navy within a minimum of time.


Raytheon Anschütz has delivered a customized, type S55 submarine steering stand, including the newly designed three-dimensional autopilot, as well as a battery monitoring system – to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME), who are constructing the newest submarine destined for use by the Indonesian Navy.

The new system’s autopilot features a robust controller that ensures safe steering and maneuverability, with speed, precision and minimal noise. As a software-based system, the autopilot can offer an extended functional range, including smart integration of the rudder steering system with electronic sea chart or situational awareness systems for waypoint steering and tactical maneuver planning.

Raytheon Anschütz’s Gerald Baden, who leads the submarine business area, states: “Our new 3D autopilot demonstrated its full steering accuracy and our customers have expressed their overall satisfaction with the robustness and performance of the integrated steering solution. This acceptance test for the Indonesian submarine was the third successful implementation of the new autopilot in an international submarine program.”

Systems performed as designed throughout the Sea Trials, and were supported onboard with engineering and customer service specialists from Raytheon Anschütz.

Hull 7712 is the first of three 209-class submarines for the Indonesian Navy. They feature a modified design and are being built at Daewoo’s Okpo shipyard in South Korea.

Providing Electronic Warfare suite for U.S. Special Operations Command C-130s

12 Jul 2017

SOCOM will upgrade the survivability equipment of its AC/MC-130J fleet with the capability to detect, identify, locate, deny, degrade, disrupt, and defeat various threats.

The U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has selected BAE Systems to provide new electronic warfare (EW) systems for its fleet of AC/MC-130J aircraft. BAE Systems will upgrade the aircraft’s survivability equipment with the capability to detect, identify, locate, deny, degrade, disrupt, and defeat various threats that aircrews encounter in hostile and challenging environments.

This final selection follows a competition that included a system design phase and critical technology demonstration. The company received a $67 million contract modification to a competitively awarded contract. This new phase of the program is for the systems integration and installation of the EW systems — all to be conducted over the next 30 months. The contract’s total value, including all options, is expected to exceed $300 million.

Britain to spend $50 million on upgrading Typhoon jets' defenses

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will spend 40 million pounds ($52 million) on upgrading the anti-missile defense system of its Typhoon fighter jets, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said on Thursday, after awarding a contract to Italian company Leonardo.

The work will improve Typhoon's Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS) supplied by Leonardo, and the government said it would help the aircraft in missions against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

The contract will sustain 65 jobs in Leonardo's site in Luton, 30 miles north of London, and supports a further 41 jobs at BAE Systems in Warton, northwest England.

Boeing completes deliveries of F-15SG jets to Singapore

By: Mike Yeo, July 12, 2017

MELBOURNE, Australia — Boeing has completed the delivery of eight more F-15SG Eagle multirole fighter jets to Singapore, according to data from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

The FAA’s website showed that the last of eight F-15SGs on its civil register had its registration canceled in the middle of June, with export being listed the reason for cancellation and its destination listed as Singapore.

These eight F-15SGs on the FAA’s database were first registered in mid-2014 by Boeing. Deliveries of these aircraft began in early 2016, with the first aircraft seen in April at the Republic of Singapore Air Force's training detachment at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.

Should be Austria instead of Australia.
