05 Aug 19. HENSOLDT will upgrade the vision equipment used by the Turkish Navy’s Preveze Class submarines to state-of-the-art technology. The contract is worth approximately 40m euros. For the first time, two SERO 400 systems will be combined. The four Class 209 submarines were built and commissioned in the 1990s. HENSOLDT will supply a total of eight SERO 400 periscopes, all of them with thermal imagers as add-on units. The order was placed by the Turkish company Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş. (STM), which has the overall responsibility for the upgrade programme. Therein, HENSOLDT is supplying a combination of the OMS 100 optronics mast system and the SERO 400 periscope for the REIS Class submarines. In addition, HENSOLDT is also supplying the equipment for the periscope workshop in Turkey, including special tooling. This means that, as a result of the continued deployment of the SERO 400, synergies will arise not only in the area of operating and training, but also in maintenance.
08 Aug 19. Test of the Strategic Sea Transport Contract. On behalf of six NATO nations (Croatia, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia and Hungary), which have come together to form the Multinational Sealift Steering Committee (MSSC), the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has made a contract with the Dutch shipping company Spliethoff on the charter of three medium-sized roll-on/roll-off vessels. As part of a planning exercise with the contractor Spliethoff and the participating nations, NSPA successfully tested the procedures for using the Strategic Sealift Contract on Spliethoff’s premises in Amsterdam. During the two-day exercise, not only the NSPA contract, but also the national contracts from the Netherlands and Norway were tested in a realistic scenario agreed in advance with the participating nations and the MCCE (Movement Coordination Centre Europe). During the exercise, six activations took place for these highly specialised vessels, enabling NSPA not only to assess the performance of the contractors and the associated activation procedures, but also to identify lessons learned and opportunities for improvement. These will be implemented in future contracts. Spliethoff will provide up to three TRAFEXPRESS class ConRo vessels under the contract, capable of carrying more than 600 containers (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit, TEU) and 2,950 lane metres of (military) vehicles simultaneously at a carrying capacity of 18,250 tonnes. A total of six vessels of this class were built in Szczecin between 2005 and 2009. (Source: ESD Spotlight)

05 Aug 19. BIRD Aerosystems, the leading developer of Airborne Missile Protection Systems (AMPS) and Special Mission Aircraft Solutions (ASIO), has received an order for additional AMPS systems from the UN Air Operations. Under the contract, BIRD will provide its AMPS-MV solution, which includes the MACS sensor, and install it on the UN Mi-17 Helicopters, that are operating in the most dangerous and complicated areas in Africa. The UN is already using BIRD’s AMPS systems, and this is a follow-on order that will allow the UN to install the systems on additional helicopters. BIRD’s AMPS missile protection system provides the most enhanced protection for military and civilian aircraft against the growing threat of ground to air missiles (MANPADS). The system is designed to automatically detect, verify, and foil SAM attacks through the effective use of countermeasure decoys (Flares and Chaff) and by Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) that jam the missile’s IR seeker and protects the aircraft. The AMPS-MV includes BIRD Aerosystems’ patented Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) sensor, which performs unique confirmation of suspected incoming missile threats detected by the main electro-optical passive sensors, and practically eliminates any False Alarms. MACS ensures that only real missiles will be declared by the system and reacted upon.

He declined to reveal the air force’s identity, noting only that it is a “major international customer.” He also said that the first export order for the M-345 basic/advanced trainer would be revealed later in the year. Unveiled at the 2017 Paris Air Show, the M-346FA is based on the airframe of the M-346 advanced jet trainer that has been sold to Italy (designated T-346A), Israel (where it is known as the Lavi), Poland, and Singapore. It is a further evolution of the M-346FT (fighter trainer) with more weapons capability and tactical datalink added to the baseline version. Retaining a full advanced/lead-in fighter trainer capability, the FA variant has significantly enhanced combat capability thanks to a Leonardo Grifo-346 multi-mode radar and IFF (identification friend or foe) equipment. Among the radar’s capabilities are synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Inverse SAR for surface target identification. In track-while-scan mode, it can track up to 10 aerial targets simultaneously. Maximum range is greater than 50nm (92km). (Source: defense-aerospace.com/AIN Online)
