01 Oct 20. Liteye Opens C-UAS Location in Tampa, Florida. Liteye Systems, Inc. announced the opening of a new location in Tampa, FL to accommodate rapid growth and support the needs of its customers globally.

In addition to the corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Centennial, CO and a supporting UK office, the new location will bring the company’s office and manufacturing footprint to approximately 90,000 square feet, further enabling the company’s growth strategy.

Liteye Systems, Inc, is a world leader in Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), radar and surveillance sensor packages, ruggedized thermal cameras, and helmet mounted displays with over $100M in services and products provided to the US Government.

“Expanding our geographic reach to Tampa is a critical step to implement our rapid deployment field operations initiative,” said Zac Neumayr, Vice President of Strategic Accounts & Field Operations.

“Tampa is an important location in our growth road map” stated Kenneth Allen Geyer, CEO of Liteye. “The city is a beautiful place to be located and with proximity to the water it allows us to demonstrate many of our new technologies for naval and coastal defense systems.”

Liteye has delivered essential equipment to the US Government for over 20 years and has experienced recent growth with the Anti-UAS Defense System (AUDS) as a Combat Proven product with over 1000 defeats against enemy drones flown by ISIS, Taliban and others. Liteye’s products continue to be a sustaining force to protect airfields, government installations and critical infrastructure across the US Government. (Source: UAS VISION)

30 Sep 20. DIO completes new homes for forces families in Cyprus. DIO handed over new service family accommodation (SFA) at RAF Akrotiri in a special ceremony earlier this month. The Commander British Forces Cyprus (BFC) was in attendance at the Cyprus base and was given a short tour of the site prior to the handover of the properties from DIO and the local supply chain.

The £10m project has delivered 26 SFA homes for service personnel and their families, replacing homes that are no longer fit for purpose. The works included the demolition of eight existing SFA homes to create Brownfield sites and associated design works to bring existing designs up to current regulatory standards. The houses were constructed on three separate construction sites with a small number of construction workers on each site.

The new homes are seismically compliant and served as a ‘test bed’ to the UK Strategic Command (UKSC) / BFC-wide Seismic Compliance Programme. The project is seen as an exemplar and will help guide the next two phases of construction and design development respectively. Cyprus is in a seismically active region of the world and the country’s government requires all property to be built in accordance with strict anti-seismic regulations.

The project team was praised for its response to the COVID-19 situation. The team which includes contractors Iacovou Brothers and Ramboll UK implemented COVID-19 safety measures quickly which meant the project was able to continue with little delay.

Chris Wood, DIO Project Manager, said: “DIO is pleased to be able to deliver this industry-recognised project to service personnel and their families at RAF Akrotiri. The base and the work that takes place there is incredibly important and it is equally important that those living and working there have good quality, fit for purpose accommodation. Following the One Team approach with all colleagues has truly paid dividends. UKSC, BFC and the project team’s response to the Covid pandemic has truly shown the benefits of collaboration and team work.”

Major General Robert Thomson, Commander British Forces Cyprus, said: “BFC is extremely happy with the quality of the houses delivered and the project team’s response to the Covid pandemic.”

Paul Stubbs, Director, Ramboll UK said: “Ramboll is extremely proud to have been at the heart of a collaborative team which has resolved issues as they have arisen, ultimately improving the living and working environment for our armed forces and civil servants in Cyprus. RAF Akrotiri is an extremely busy Permanent Joint Operating Base that supports ongoing operations in the region as well as support for the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus. It is used as a forward mounting base for overseas operations in the Middle East and for fast jet training.” (Source: https://www.gov.uk/)

24 Sep 20. USAF awards $38m in contracts for upgrades to airfield in Iceland. The USAF has awarded three contracts totaling $38m to improve the airfield at Naval Air Station Keflavik in Iceland.

The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center’s Detachment 4 will direct the construction project with support from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Europe Africa Central, the Air Force said Thursday. The work includes expansion of the airfield’s parking aprons, beddown site preparation and an upgrade to the airfield’s hazardous cargo pad for the safe unloading and unloading of explosives.

“We are upgrading infrastructure at Naval Air Station Keflavik to provide a high level of readiness for U.S. Air Forces in Europe,” said Col. David Norton, director of AFCEC’s Facility Engineering Directorate. “We have incorporated innovative design and construction techniques to build resilient facilities to ensure the longest lifespan at the overall lowest life cycle cost.”

The construction projects support the European Deterrence Initiative implemented by U.S. European Command — an initiative intended to increase the responsiveness of U.S. Air Forces and NATO members and allies in Europe.

The EDI includes military exercises and training — including the annual Dynamic Mongoose exercise, which this year was held off the coast of Iceland — as well as a rotational presence of U.S. forces in Europe.

An April Department of Defense memo said Defense Mark Esper planned to divert funding from overseas military construction projects — including, critics said, some projects under the auspices of EDI — to domestic military construction in order to compensate for funding lost to wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.

MARITIME

01 Oct 20. Naval Group launches the A.R.A. Piedrabuena, second Argentinian Offshore Patrol Vessel, in Concarneau. The second of the four Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPVs) ordered by Argentina has been launched at Piriou’s Shipyards in Concarneau (Britany). Launching of the Piedrabuena in Concarneau. After the arrival of the A.R.A. Bouchard in Argentina on February 2020, the second OPV has been launched this Thursday 1st of October, 2020, in Piriou’s shipyards in Concarneau. This launching comes ahead of schedule – 2 months before the contractual deadline – despite the adverse sanitary context. The two upcoming ships are also built by Kership (joint venture between Naval Group and Piriou) in Lanester. Signed on June 22nd, 2018 in Buenos Aires, the contract for the delivery of four multi-mission ocean patrol vessels for the Argentinian Navy came into force on February 13th, 2019. This contract covers the delivery of L’Adroit – a vessel commissioned at the end of 2011 and operated by the French Navy before being modernized to become the A.R.A. Bouchard – as well as the construction of 3 new units with an enhanced design (known as OPV 87). The three new vessels are specially adapted to navigation in iced waters of the Southern Ocean, through a reinforcement of their structure. Naval Group is the Prime Contractor, in charge of the Program Management and the relationship with the Argentinian customer, of the general design work of the armed vessel as well as of all the studies, development and integration of the Polaris combat system. Over 100 professionals are fully dedicated to this successful program. This is an important milestone for Naval Group as this ship is the first OPV built for the export market.

24 Sep 20. The U.S. Navy commissioned the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) during a 10 a.m. EDT ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020, in Port Canaveral, Florida. Due to public health and safety concerns related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the commissioning is a private event, rather than the traditional public commissioning ceremony.

The ceremony’s principal speaker was Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russel L. Smith.

“Commissioning a ship after the first Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy is an honor without equal. The Navy has always been and will always be indelibly influenced by the leadership of our senior enlisted sailors epitomized by Delbert Black,” said Secretary of the Navy Kenneth J. Braithwaite. “They are the ones who teach both our junior enlisted as well as our junior officers what it means to lead. They lay the keel by which the Navy operates and as such this ship named for one of the most influential master chiefs ever to wear three stars will be a visible reminder of their importance to our Navy. As MCPON, Master Chief Black fought for increased sea-pay, family support programs, expanded uniform guidance and a host of other issues that improved the quality of life of not only junior enlisted, but all sailors and officers. By making life better for sailors, he made our Navy stronger for us all. This ship will undoubtedly continue on his great legacy of service above self.”

USS Delbert D. Black is named for the first Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, the highest possible enlisted rank and the enlisted representative to the Chief of Naval Operations. Established by the Navy in 1967, Black oversaw the establishment of the senior enlisted advisor position, which eventually became known as Command Master Chief. Black was the first Navy enlisted man to receive the Distinguished Service Medal. Upon retirement from active duty, Black continued his involvement with the Navy through retired and active duty organizations. He still serves as an enduring example for the Chief’s Mess, with his service, character and performance demonstrating the highest ideals of a Navy chief petty officer in the world’s finest Navy.

Mrs. Ima Black, MCPON Delbert D. Black’s widow and a former sailor, served as the ship’s sponsor. Mrs. Black served during World War II in the Navy WAVES – Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. During the time-honored ceremony, Mrs. Black will give the first order to “man our ship and bring her to life.”

Built by Huntington Ingalls Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Delbert D. Black is the 68th Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer to be delivered to the Navy and the first to bear his name. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security.

Following commissioning, USS Delbert D. Black will be homeported in Mayport, Florida, with sister ships USS The Sullivans (DDG 68), USS Lassen (DDG 82), USS Farragut (DDG 99), USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116) and USS Paul Ignatius (DDG 117). (Source: US Navy)

AIR

25 Sep 20. Lockheed Martin to perform ‘unique sea trials’ of F-35 for non-US customers. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has contracted Lockheed Martin to conduct aircraft carrier trials of its F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) for potential international operators.

The award, announced on 24 September, is part of a wider USD245.5m developmental support contract for DoD and international operators of the F-35 that will run through to March 2022.

“[Additional to the wider developmental support work], this modification provides unique sea trials on aircraft carriers for non-DoD participants,” the contract notification stated. Though no further details pertaining to the aircraft carrier trials were disclosed, they are likely to relate to the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) F-35B variant of the aircraft.

To date, the US Marine Corps (USMC), United Kingdom Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Air Force (RAF), and Italian Navy (Marina Militare Italiana: MMI) have procured the F-35B to equip their respective amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers, while current F-35A customers, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Spain, and South Korea, have all expressed interest in the STOVL jet’s carrier capabilities over recent years, as had Turkey before it was disbarred from the wider JSF programme.

Australia was reporting its interest in the F-35B for the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN’s) two Canberra-class landing helicopter dock (LHD) amphibious assault ships as far back as 2014. (Source: Jane’s)
