02 Nov 06. Cost Of Stryker Delays Could Approach $49m. The Army has estimated that delays to its Stryker brigade construction program in Hawaii could cost $15.6m to $49.1m, as the military and the business community weigh the ramifications of a recent federal court ruling halting the massive project. The Army must now conduct a supplementary environmental analysis to consider alternative locations for the brigade, an task expected to take up to two years.

06 Nov 06. BAE Systems has invested over £300,000 in a new refurbishment facility for naval systems, which allows the Company to restore operational equipment for the UK’s Royal Navy and other customers, whilst conforming to the highest level of environmental requirements. The facility, based at the BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies’ (Insyte) Broad Oak site in Portsmouth, is equipped to grit blast and paint spray a wide variety of sizes of equipment using High Chrome granulated stainless steel grit. This provides a niche capability to refurbish and paint large products in a secure facility, such as the Royal Navy’s Seawolf tracking radar and 1022 surveillance radars which are currently installed on UK Royal Navy ships. The Grit Blast has a 100% grit recovery system with Air blast and Coarse filters that separate paint and rust particles from the grit, thus removing any pollutants and allowing it to be fully recycled. The paint cleaning equipment separates solvents and solids, also allowing solvents to be recycled.

06 Nov 06. U.S. Air Defense, Artillery Getting Back Together. Communities Set Merger, Fort Sill Plans Construction. At first there was groaning and moaning, but now leaders of the air defense and field artillery communities are avidly supporting the plan to build a Net Fires Center of Excellence at the U.S. Army’s Fort Sill, Okla. “The more we get into this, we realize the potential for the synergies it will create,” said Maj. Gen. David Ralston, commander of the Field Artillery Center and School at Fort Sill. Noting that air defense traditionally has been in the protection business and field artillery in the application of force, Maj. Gen. Robert Lennox said “The two branches must transform how we fight, because that is what’s best for the Army.” Lennox is the commander of the Air Defense Artillery Center and School, which will move from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Fort Sill no later than 2011, a move mandated by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure commission.
