19 Dec 18. HII launches US Navy’s Virginia-class submarine Delaware. Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) has launched the US Navy’s Virginia-class submarine Delaware (SSN 791) at its Newport News Shipbuilding division. The 377ft-long,7,800t submarine was launched into the James River, having been christened by Jill Biden during a ceremony in October. Its launch follows a three-day process when HII moved the submarine out of a construction facility and into a floating dry dock using a transfer car system. The floating dry dock was then submerged when the submarine was launched into the water. Once the vessel was launched in water, it was moved to the shipyard’s submarine pier for final outfitting, testing and crew certification.
Newport News submarine construction vice-president Dave Bolcar said: “Successfully launching Delaware into the water the first time is a proud moment for the Virginia-class submarine team and the thousands of dedicated shipbuilders involved in constructing the ship.
“With this significant key event behind us, we look forward to completing construction and sea trials next year so this great warship can join the fleet and defend our nation.”
Delaware is the ninth to be delivered by its Newport News Shipbuilding division and the 18th Virginia-class submarine being built under HII’s teaming agreement with General Dynamics Electric Boat. Construction of Delaware commenced in September 2013. According to HII, the construction phase involved more than 10,000 shipbuilders from Newport News and Electric Boat. The US Navy’s Virginia-class nuclear-powered fast attack submarines will replace the Los Angeles-class submarines. Built to support a range of open-ocean and littoral missions, Virginia-class submarines are equipped with new technologies that enable increased firepower, manoeuvrability and stealth. These submarines can support multiple mission areas and possess the ability to operate at submerged speeds of more than 25k for months at a time. Once testing is complete, HII expects to deliver Delaware to the US Navy next year. (Source: naval-technology.com)

14 Dec 18. Launching of the Riachuelo, the first Brazilian Scorpène® submarine. This morning, the Brazilian Navy launched its first Brazilian-built Scorpène® submarine, the Riachuelo. The ceremony took place at the Itaguaí Navy base in presence of the President of the Federal Republic of Brazil and of the elected President. In 2009, Naval Group was entrusted by the Brazilian Navy with designing and transferring the technology for four conventional Scorpène® submarines, and for the design and manufacturing assistance for the non-nuclear part of Brazil’s first nuclear-powered submarine. The contract also included the support for the construction of a naval base and a shipyard in Brazil. The Prosub program is a key extension of the strategic defence cooperation agreement signed in December 2008 in Rio de Janeiro.
The launching of the Scorpène® Riachuelo in presence of the Brazilian head of state today demonstrates the success of this program, with both the successful completion of the first submarine and of the shipyard’s infrastructure. The latter is being built by a Brazilian company, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht (CNO), based on Naval Group specifications and on the French group’s experience in the design, production engineering and in-service support of submarines.
The Riachuelo will start sea trials in 2019 for delivery in 2020. Delivery of submarines 2, 3 and 4 will then follow every 12 to 18 months.
Strengthening the Brazilian industrial base
Since 2012, Naval Group has done considerable work to identify, select, negotiate, qualify Brazilian service providers in order to:
- feed the supplier database for equipments or products supplied by Naval Group to the Brazilian Navy;
- and to present and qualify local suppliers for the future needs of the Brazilian Navy.
This work enables the Brazilian Navy to rely more and more on a sovereign national industrial base.
It also enables the Brazilian industrial ecosystem to access new markets by promoting their “Naval Group” and “Brazilian Navy” accreditation (whose image of excellence and seriousness is highly regarded in Brazil) and to avail of the know-how and experience of the French group in the fields of project management.
Finally, ICN (Itaguaí Construções Navais) will be able to call on this panel of suppliers for its own development as part of the future maintenance and support services of the submarines.
The Scorpène®, a success story on export markets
Scorpène® is the conventional submarine designed by Naval Group for the export market. It demonstrates both Naval Group’s ability to deliver best in class submarines and to conduct successful transfers of technology. Today 14 Scorpène® submarines are in operational service or being built, for the Chilean Navy (2 units), the Malaysian Navy (2 units), the Indian Navy (6 units) and the Brazilian Navy (4 units).
The Scorpène® design is adapted to fit each navy’s specific requirements. Thus, the Brazilian Scorpène® will be slightly longer to carry a larger crew, almost double the patrol range, and be able to cover greater distances.
Scorpène® is ideally suited for action and operational effectiveness. Robust and enduring, it’s an ocean-going submarine also designed for shallow waters operations. Multipurpose, it fulfils the entire scope of missions such as anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, special operations, offensive minelaying and intelligence gathering. Integrating improvements from French Barracuda-Class fast-attack submarine, Scorpène® has cutting-edge capabilities.
Brazilian Scorpène®’s characteristics
- Surfaced displacement: 1,600 – 2,000 t
- Length, overall: 72m
- Submerged speed > 20kts
- Diving depth > 300m

18 Dec 18. Airbus flies first serial production H160 helo. Airbus Helicopters has flown the first serial production H160 to roll off the line at Marignane in southern France, the company announced on 18 December. The event, which took place on 14 December, marked an important milestone in the development of the H160 helicopter, which was selected in 2017 to fulfil the French military’s Hélicoptère Interarmées Léger (HIL) requirement to replace most of its current rotary-winged inventory with a single type.
This first serial production H160, which is destined for launch customer Babcock, will now join three prototype helicopters in the final steps of the flight test campaign. This will include confirming that the modifications introduced onto the serial configuration have no impact on the helicopter’s handling qualities.
The H160’s construction represents a new production method for Airbus Helicopters, with its fuselage manufactured at the company’s facility in Donauwörth in Germany, tail booms in Spain, and avionics and other dynamic components – such as gearboxes and rotorblades – at sites throughout France, including Paris and Marignane. Final assembly of the helicopters takes place at Marignane.
Under the HIL programme, the H160 will replace all helicopter types in the French military except for the NHIndustries NH90, Airbus Helicopters Tiger, and Airbus Helicopters H225M Caracal. (Source: IHS Jane’s)
18 Dec 18. HAL’s third light utility helicopter completes maiden flight.

17 Dec 18. UK Army and Capita have missed recruit targets since 2013, says NAO. The UK National Audit Office (NAO) has found that the British Army and its contractor Capita Business Services have failed to achieve annual targets for recruiting new soldiers and officers every year since 2013. The findings come after NAO launched an investigation into the British Army Recruiting Partnering Project. The project was established in 2012 with a £1.36bn commitment over ten years to help the army transform its approach to recruitment. It was intended to reduce recruiting costs and sign up more soldiers and officers. Capita was awarded a £495m contract to provide recruiting techniques and marketing, as well as manage the process. Through the project, the army aimed to recruit the number of soldiers, including regular and reserve officers that the service requires each year. The investigation follows concerns raised in the Comptroller and Auditor General’s reports on ensuring sufficient skilled military personnel and army by 2020.
NAO found that Capita missed the army’s annual target for regular soldiers by an average of 30%, compared with 4% in the two years before the contract began. The report said that the total shortfall each year ranged from 21% to 45% of the army’s requirements. However, Capita recruited 661 regular officers, achieving 95% of the army’s requirements in 2017-18 for recruits.
The report also detailed the problems encountered, and how the British Army and Capita responded, as well as the nation’s programme management.
In November 2017, an online recruitment system was launched by Capita, which was originally planned for introduction in July 2013. The system was also intended to be used by the Royal Navy and Air Force.
However, significant problems with the new online system also reduced the number of recruits.
Since then, the army and Capita have made significant changes to their overall approach to recruitment but still failed to achieve the desired results. Capita recruited only 2,400 regulars in the first six months of 2018-19, compared to the army’s target of 5,300. NAO’s report noted that the project will not achieve its planned savings of £267m for the UK Ministry of Defence. (Source: army-technology.com)
