08 Feb 22. USNS John Lewis completes builder’s trials. Builder’s trials are conducted to prepare the vessel for a final trial prior to delivery. The US Navy’s first ship in the John Lewis-class fleet oiler programme, the future USNS John Lewis (T-AO 205), has completed initial builder’s trials. As part of the trials, the vessel was put through several in-port and at-sea demonstrations to evaluate the vessel’s systems and readiness. John Lewis returned to the port following the completion of the trials.
Auxiliary and Special Mission Shipbuilding Program Office programme manager John Lighthammer said: “Ensuring readiness through sea trials is a crucial step to bringing this ship closer to fleet tasking. USNS John Lewis will provide much needed capability to the fleet as the primary fuel pipeline at sea. We are looking forward to getting the ship into the hands of Sailors and merchant mariners as another tool to support at-sea operations.”
Constructed by General Dynamics National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO), the future USNS John Lewis will now prepare to undergo acceptance trials and delivery to the Navy. John Lewis was launched in January 2021 and was christened in July the same year. Military Sealift Command, as part of the navy’s Combat Logistics Force, will operate the new John Lewis-class T-AOs. The vessels will take up tasks such as delivery of diesel fuel, lubricating oil, and small quantities of fresh and frozen provisions, stores, and potable water to navy vessels at sea. They will also provide jet fuel for aircraft operating from aircraft carriers. Currently, the future USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO 206), USNS Earl Warren (T-AO 207), and USNS Robert F. Kennedy (T-AO 208) are under different stages of construction.
NASSCO is also under contract to build the future USNS Lucy Stone (T-AO 209) and USNS Sojourner Truth (T-AO 210). (Source: naval-technology.com)

10 Feb 22. Lockheed Martin Sikorsky-Boeing Selects Honeywell Engine to Power DEFIANT X®. Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company (NYSE: LMT), and Boeing (NYSE: BA) today announced Honeywell (NYSE: HON) as the engine provider for DEFIANT X, the advanced helicopter for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) competition. With Honeywell providing the HTS7500 turboshaft engine, Team DEFIANT brings unsurpassed Army Aviation experience to revolutionize Army air assault while seamlessly integrating with legacy platforms, proven tactics and existing infrastructure. DEFIANT X® will be the fastest, most maneuverable and survivable assault helicopter in history.
“Team DEFIANT’s strength is built on the experience of Sikorsky and Boeing, and a commitment to Army Aviation,” said Mark Cherry, vice president and general manager of Boeing Vertical Lift. “Honeywell’s history with Boeing and the U.S. Army makes us even more confident that DEFIANT X® is the best fit for the Army’s total mission.”
“DEFIANT X® is a transformational aircraft, and Honeywell is giving us a transformational engine to power it,” said Paul Lemmo, president of Sikorsky. “DEFIANT X® is optimized for operational effectiveness, sustainment and interoperability with the enduring fleet, and will transform the Army.”
DEFIANT X® is a complete weapon system that builds on the handling qualities and capabilities proven by the team’s technology demonstrator, SB>1 DEFIANT®. It flies twice as far and fast as the venerable Black Hawk helicopter it is designed to replace. Currently undergoing testing in a digital combat environment, the aircraft continues to prove itself as the most survivable platform for mission requirements.
“Honeywell is excited to be a part of Team DEFIANT and proud to play a part in the future of vertical lift for the U.S. Army,” said Ricky Freeman, president, Defense & Space at Honeywell Aerospace. “We’re confident our HTS7500 engine on the DEFIANT X® platform will provide the Army with an agile, fast and maneuverable platform that will help ensure overmatch capability in the future battlespace.”
Sikorsky-Boeing submitted the proposal for DEFIANT X® for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft in September 2021. Contract award is expected this year.
10 Feb 22. Embraer strikes deal with Brazilian Air Force on KC-390 order reduction. Planemaker Embraer SA (EMBR3.SA) announced on Wednesday it had reached a deal with Brazilian Air Force to cut its order for 28 KC-390 military cargo planes to 22 aircraft, and to add compensation clauses to the contract between both parties. While the Air Force order now is six planes less than the original order, it is seven planes more than the Air Force said it would take in November, when it said it would unilaterally cut its order to 15 units of the aircraft. The move will decrease Embraer’s order backlog by $500m, while the new contract amendments that were not specified could boost the company’s operational results by $50m. According to the planemaker, the hit from the order reduction will not impact its 2021 guidance. It did not comment on how it would affect 2022 guidance. The original contract, which was signed in 2014, was of 7.2bn reais ($1.38bn). ($1 = 5.2354 reais) (Source: Reuters)
