26 Dec 22. Chilean Navy to get new icebreaker for Antarctic. A new Antarctic icebreaker ship for the Chilean Navy is to launch on 22 December 2022 by the state-run naval shipbuilder ASMAR at its facility in Talcahuano. Named Almirante Viel, it will replace an older 6,300 tonne ship of the same name, the Type 1200 ice-capable support ship Almirante Oscar Viel (AP 46) that retired on 11 February 2019. A spokesperson from the Chilean Navy said this is ASMAR’s “most ambitious project” since the creation of the shipyard in 1960. The new Almirante Viel has a length of 111 m and a displacement of about 13,000 tonnes, making it the largest vessel built by ASMAR to date and the first ship of this type built in South America.

27 Dec 22. Russian ship Admiral Golovko begins second phase of factory trials. The Russian Navy’s third Admiral Gorshkov-class or Project 22350 guided missile cruiser, named Admiral Golovko, has started the second phase of its factory sea trials. This was announced by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of the Russian Federation on 26 December. The trials will be conducted at the Russian Navy’s test site in the Baltic Sea. This phase of trials will involve detailed inspection of the weapon systems of the frigate. The tests are being conducted to assess and validate the operational performance of artillery, radio weapons, anti-aircraft missile weapon systems and their control systems as well as the ship’s communication equipment. All the tests will be under continuous observation and monitoring of the control center of the Russian Navy’s Main Command. The gathered reports will be shared with the Russian Navy’s commander-in-chief admiral Nikolai Evmenov. Admiral Golovko has already completed the first phase of factory trials at shipbuilding company Severnaya Verf’s shipyard between late November and early December. The tests were executed by the factory acceptance and delivery team in coordination with the crew members of Admiral Golovko. The ship performed a series of maneuvers, which allowed the associated team members to test and validate the characteristics and operational performance of the new vessel. During the initial tests, which lasted for around two weeks, the performance of the third Project 22350 vessel’s onboard systems was assessed and inspected. Furthermore, the operability of different components, mechanisms and systems were also examined. The MoD informed that the team also paid specific attention to the navigation complex and main power plant of the frigate. Equipped with modern sea-based missile weapons, Admiral Golovko serves as part of the Russian Navy’s northern fleet of missile ships. (Source: naval-technology.com)
23 Dec 22. France’s first LSS completes maiden sea trials. The LSS vessels are being built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Naval Group’s temporary consortium. The French Navy’s lead Jacques Chevallier-class logistic support ship (LSS) has completed the maiden sea trials and officially logged its first nautical miles. This was confirmed by the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d’ARmement – OCCAR). The milestone was achieved on 20 December. The recent trials were conducted to assess a wide range systems aboard Jacques Chevallier and to prepare the vessel for undertaking the next series of trials at the sea. Jacques Chevallier is being constructed as part of the French-Italian cooperation, under the FLOTLOG programme (Flotte Logistique). The programme is being led by OCCAR on behalf of French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) and its Italian counterpart Directorate of Naval Armaments (NAVARM). A temporary consortium between Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Naval Group is executing the vessel’s construction. Named after a 20th century French Naval Engineer, Jacques Chevallier is expected to be delivered to the French Navy in 2023. Keel for Jacques Chevallier was laid in February last year at Fincantieri’s naval shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia in Naples, Italy. The Italian company was responsible for constructing the forward section of Jacques Chevallier, which was successfully transferred to France in November 2021 for the final assembling. Following the delivery of the vessel’s front section, French shipbuilder Naval Group officially launched Jacques Chevallier in May this year. A total of four Jacques Chevallier-class replenishment ships are being built to support the French naval force. The multi-mission vessels are being developed to serve two main roles, which involves conducting military operations and civilian rescue missions. Other missions LSS will carry out include replenishments to deliver aviation fuel, food, water, ammunitions, spare parts to the other vessels at sea. (Source: naval-technology.com)
21 Dec 22. Indian Navy receives fifth Kalvari-class submarine Vagir. All the Project 75 submarines are being built indigenously based on Naval Group’s Scorpene-class design. The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced the delivery of fifth Kalvari-class or Project 75 submarine, named Vagir (Yard 11879). The new submarine was handed over to the Indian Navy on 20 December. Indian shipbuilder Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL) in Mumbai, Maharashtra, in close coordination with French company Naval Group, is constructing the vessels of the class. All the six Project 75 submarines are being built indigenously based on the design of Naval Group’s Scorpene-class vessels. The Indian Navy will now commission Vagir into the service to enhance the fleet’s existing capabilities. The latest milestone comes after the completion of Vagir’s sea trials that commenced in February this year to validate the performance of the submarine’s onboard sensors and weapon systems. The MoD said that the trials were completed successfully in the ‘shortest time’ in comparison to the first four Kalvari-class submarines. Besides, the MoD revealed that Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has launched the first anti-submarine warfare shallow watercraft (ASW SWC) for the Indian Navy. It was launched during a ceremony at Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Shipbuilding’s yard in Kattupalli, Chennai on 20 December. During the event, the new vessel made its first contact with the waters of Bay of Bengal, while Indian MoD financial advisor Rasika Chaube named the new ship as ‘Arnala’. Contract for the construction of 16 ASW SWC vessels for the Indian Navy was awarded to GRSE and Cochin Shipyard (CSL) in 2019. Each company is responsible for constructing eight vessels. The new ASW SWC ships will replace the Navy’s Abhay-class vessels. (Source: naval-technology.com)

27 Dec 22. U.S. Navy Approves Full-Rate Production for Sikorsky CH-53K Helicopter. The U.S. Navy today declared full rate production of the Sikorsky CH-53K® helicopter, a decision that is expected to increase production to more than 20 helicopters annually in the coming years. Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (NYSE: LMT), is procuring long-lead items and critical materials to support building full rate production CH-53K helicopters in its digital factory.
“Ramping up production of the most technologically advanced helicopter in the world allows the U.S. Marine Corps to build out its CH-53K King Stallion fleet and support mission success,” said Bill Falk, director of the Sikorsky CH-53K program. “This production authorization stabilizes Sikorsky’s domestic supply chain and is a testament to our enduring partnership with the Marine Corps.”
This full-rate production decision instills confidence in the diverse network of more than 200 CH‑53K suppliers across 35 states. The Marine Corps’ commitment to the CH-53K will allow suppliers to purchase in bulk, creating efficiencies and driving down overall costs for the U.S. military and international allies.
21 Dec 22. Austrian MoD Takes Delivery of its 1st AW169M LUH Helicopter. Italy and Austria sign G2G Agreement amendment to exercise options for additional aircraft. The first of 18 helicopters was delivered in line with contractual obligations. The Austrian MoD’s AW169M LUH programme begins a new era in national defence and emergency response capabilities. Options for an additional 18 helicopters have been exercised in the framework of the Italy-Austria G2G initiative aimed at reinforcing the bilateral collaboration between the two countries and establishing a strategic partnership in the rotorcraft sector.
Profumo: “We’re pleased to see the first helicopter in Austria and we welcome the decision to further expand the fleet. We look forward to providing an even greater contribution to meet the requirements set by the collaboration between the two governments.”
The Austrian Ministry of Defence’s AW169M LUH helicopter programme set a major milestone today with the delivery of the first aircraft from an initial order of 18 units, based on the Italy-Austria Government-to-Government (G2G) Agreement announced by the relevant Authorities at the end of 2021. The handover of the aircraft, built at Leonardo’s Vergiate facility in Italy, achieved in line with the contractual obligations, was performed during an official ceremony held at the Tulln-Langenlebarn Brumowski Air Base, in the presence of Leonardo’s senior management. Austria and Italy also announced today a G2G Agreement amendment through which Austria is exercising options for an additional 18 helicopters, providing further evidence of its confidence in the selected platform.
The Italy-Austria G2G initiative is aimed at reinforcing the bilateral collaboration between the two countries and establishing a strategic partnership in the rotorcraft sector, with Austria looking at Italy and the AW169M LUH programme for its modernisation plan and the replacement of its ageing Alouette III aircraft fleet, which have been in service since the 1960s.
The first aircraft’s handover marks a significant leap forward for Austria, starting a new era in national defence and emergency response capabilities. Furthermore, it also represents an important milestone for Leonardo, celebrating the first delivery to the export market of the AW169M variant, under a G2G programme. Austrian crews have already been leveraging initial training supplied at Leonardo’s Training Academy in Sesto Calende (Italy) and will be supported by the Italian Army’s training capabilities as an AW169M LUH operator.
The AW169M LUH, with its superior performance and unmatched latest generation capabilities, as well as the complete support and training services to perform true multirole operations, is the most technologically advanced and cost-effective solution to meet the rigorous needs of the operator. The AW169M LUHs will be able to carry out a wide range of missions supporting Austrian defence requirements and the national community, such as troop transport, combat operations, disaster relief and emergency response, fire-fighting, mountain rescue and MEDEVAC.
Alessandro Profumo, Chief Executive Officer of Leonardo, said: “It gives us great pleasure to see the first AW169M LUH here in Austria and we welcome the decision to further expand the fleet. We look forward to providing an even greater contribution with the most technologically advanced and cost-effective solution to meet the stringent requirements set by the collaboration between the two governments. We’re committed to sustaining this important and growing programme.”
Gian Piero Cutillo, Managing Director of Leonardo Helicopters, added: “The development of this programme and the handover of the first aircraft in line with the delivery schedule is the result of an amazing collaboration among all the involved parties. We know the outstanding technology, performance, multirole capabilities and complete services of the type will significantly boost national defence and emergency response, even more with today’s decision to rely on an even larger fleet in the future.” (Source: ASD Network)

REST OF THE WORLD APPOINTMENTS
28 Dec 22. Israel’s incoming government has selected former Maj. Gen. Yoav Gallant as the new defense minister. Gallant played a key role in Israeli operations in the 1990s and early 2000s. He will replace Benny Gantz, who served as defense minister since 2020. Gallant will inherit a military force that is in the midst of incorporating the Momentum plan in a bid to become a more digital-centric and technologically advanced force. He will also enter office amid tension with Iran and a stalled peace process with Palestine. Gantz often traveled abroad as defense minister, including to the United States, Turkey, Morocco, Bahrain and Azerbaijan. His frequent trips came in the wake of the Abraham Accords, an agreement meant to normalize relations between Israel and its regional neighbors Bahrain, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
