22 Mar 22. Cohort plc, German subsidiary ELAC Sonar, has been awarded a contract to supply hydroacoustic equipment by Fassmer Shipyard, working on behalf of BAAINBw (the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support). The contract, worth around €4m, will see the equipment fitted in two SVK Boote vessels for the German WTD 71 (Technical Centre for Ships and Naval Weapons, Maritime Technology and Research). The contract is expected to be completed by Q4/2023. ELAC Sonar are specialists in advanced sonar systems and were selected by the domestic customer as part of a competitive tender for the hydroacoustic equipment and associated technical services. The SVK Boote vessels will be used for military operations such as protection during the salvage of torpedoes and escorting of submarines during trials in shallow waters, as well as for the deployment of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV´s). The equipment includes ELAC’s Pinger Locating Sonar (ELAC PILOS 2.0), a passive sonar used to detect and track underwater noise and signals mainly generated by sonar systems or other acoustic sources. ELAC’s Underwater Communication System (ELAC UT 3000 2G) will provide analogue and digital communications for the vessels.
22 Mar 22. The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) has selected Leonardo to equip its new naval units with the Lionfish family of defence systems. The system will be equipped on the navy’s Holland-class patrol vessels, HNLMS Johan de Witt landing platform dock (LPD), joint logistic support ship (JSS), Den Helder-class combat support ship and Karel Doorman-class frigates. The Royal Navy has selected a 12.7-calibre-turret Lionfish Top system, which is one of the three variants of a remotely controlled gun system. The gun system can be controlled through its local control console along with external rear handles for manual gun firing during emergencies. The Lionfish Top variant weighs less than 300kg and is effective against close threats and in asymmetric warfare. The gun system can be used for different operations including maritime traffic interdiction and border control. The maximum detection range of Lionfish Top is 12km, based on the technology being implemented. (Source: naval-technology.com)

14 Mar 22. Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), the prime institution responsible for defense-related research in Norway, has awarded a contract to Exolaunch to launch the organization’s ARCSAT satellite aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9. The teams of Exolaunch and GomSpace, the ARCSAT’s satellite manufacturer, have just completed a successful integration of the ARCSAT satellite into the satellite’s deployer at Exolaunch’s headquarters in Berlin, prior to shipment for the launch campaign at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The satellite is scheduled for launch to SSO with Falcon 9 NET, April 2022, as part of SpaceX‘s SmallSat Rideshare Program. ARCSAT is a 6U smallsat designed to demonstrate the use and relevance of a satellite relay for UHF communication at high latitudes. For a polar orbit above 500 km., the satellite will be able to cover any point on the Earth’s surface ranging from 4 up to 15 daily passes at higher latitudes. Exolaunch, a global launch integrator working under a Multi-Launch Agreement with SpaceX, is providing launch services, satellite integration and deployment services for the FFI’s satellite aboard Transporter-4 mission. To date, Exolaunch has arranged launches for 200 satellites for NewSpace industry leaders, start-ups, space agencies and academia.

22 Mar 22. The Bundeswehr has contracted with Rheinmetall to look after, maintain and repair Germany’s Sikorsky CH-53G transport helicopters at two additional bases. Starting in March 2022, the company has been supporting the German Air Force at Laupheim in Baden-Württemberg and Holzdorf-Schönewalde on the border of Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg, conducting pre-flight inspections and operating a total of three service bays for partial work phases at the 64th Helicopter Squadron. Worth a figure in the lower two-digit million-euro range, the contract with Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH runs for three years in two lots. Rheinmetall has been maintaining CH-53G helicopters on behalf of the German Air Force ever since November 2020. As planned, the company took over maintenance operations at Diepholz Air Base in Lower Saxony in March 2021. The 64th Helicopter Squadron is stationed in Laupheim where, together with its air transport group at Holzdorf-Schönewalde, it operates 66 CH-53G helicopters, an aircraft which has been in the Bundeswehr inventory since 1972. In all cases, the work Rheinmetall carries out is directly embedded in the structures of the 64th Helicopter Squadron. Overcoming rival bids in a request for tenders, the Düsseldorf-based integrated technology group’s subsidiary Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH (RAS) will now be carrying out maintenance operations at Laupheim and Holzdorf-Schönewalde.
