LIMA 2017: Airbus positions C295 for Malaysian MPA requirement
Ridzwan Rahmat, Langkawi - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

Airbus Defence and Space (DS) has positioned the C295 in maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) configuration for the Royal Malaysian Air Force's (RMAF's) maritime surveillance requirements, a company official told Jane's at the Langkawi International Maritime (LIMA) exhibition in Malaysia.

The variant is based on the C295 twin turboprop light tactical transport aircraft that is in use with operators such as the Bangladesh Army Aviation.

Although a formal procurement process has not been initiated, Jane's understands that the Malaysian government is considering the acquisition of between four and eight MPA platforms to either progressively replace, or complement the RMAF's existing fleet of Beechcraft B200Ts.

According to specifications provided by Airbus DS, the C295 can attain a range of up to 2,000 n miles with a 6-tonne payload and features an endurance of up to 11 hours. The platform can also be equipped with electro-optical and infrared sensors for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions. To prosecute submarines, the platform can also be armed with torpedoes deployed via hard points beneath its wings.

"The aircraft is also flexible and can also be quickly re-configured for either military transport or maritime patrol roles", said Jose Luis Rey, a marketing manager at Airbus DS, in an interview with Jane's at LIMA 2017.

The RMAF was known to operate a fleet of four Beechcraft B200T airframes in MPA configuration, according to data from Jane's. However in December 2016, one of the aircraft crashed near the Butterworth airbase in Penang, killing a crew member onboard and injuring three others.

Would be nice if they offer globaleye together

Itu saja? Why would need another jet trainer when our hawk still can go on

Super Hornet is not much cheaper than future expected price of F-35A, ~USD 100m per

36 biji F-18 SH already USD 3.6 bil
lets say 200 AIM120 and 100 AIM9, another USD 0.2 bil for easy calc
4 E-2D about USD 200 mil each
Already hit USD 4.6 bil
Plus spares? Training?

Whats our annual procurement budget, USD 1 bil? If we dedicate half of that we'd be spending nearly 10 years paying for it, even more if interest + inflation factored in

And TDM TLDM can forget gettng any other big ticket items too... like 15 to 5....

Belgium's anti-terror laws raise concern

One year ago, Brussels was subjected to the worst attack in Belgium's history.

Three coordinated bombs went off in the airport and the underground, killing 32 people and wounding hundreds more.

Belgium is still on high alert, but rights groups are concerned by the country's new counter-terrorism measures and allegations of police abuse.

Shut it bunny
Later I eat rabbit satay baru ko tau

usd 4.6b for 36SH and 4 E-2D is way too cheap/low...

just look at the Brazilian fighter contest ,they chose gripen at the price of usd 5b, instead of 36 SH for usd7.5b or 36 rafale for usd 8b

Combined mpa capability

Can you really say that hawk and m339cm is enuf for tudm?

not only just the airframe, but also the LIFT which we lack right now

The fall of Singapore - last POW still alive from Sandakan

M339cm is for basic jet training. The hawk 108 is for LIFT. Hawk 208 is for light attack. and yes TUDM lack numbers in LIFT. But for now. With all TUDM plane configure with a pilot and WSO. It still.bearable.
