De KLu heeft nu nog de AIM-9M en misschien nog de oudere AIM-9L improved Sidewinder op voorraad. Deze worden vanzelf de komende jaren vervangen door de AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder. Daarnaast moet ook de AIM-120B AMRAAM worden vervangen, omdat deze niet in het wapenruim van de F-35 past (geen clipped fins zoals bij de AIM-120C).

Dit gaat over een systeem voor grote toestellen, 777, A320, 747 etc, vraag me dus af of dit hetzelfde systeem betreft als wat je op Apaches schroeft.

Dit gaat over een systeem voor grote toestellen, 777, A320, 747 etc, vraag me dus af of dit hetzelfde systeem betreft als wat je op Apaches schroeft.
Terma heeft inderdaad geen systeem voor de genoemde types. Wel voor bijvoorbeeld de P-8A.

De DIRCM was bedoeld voor de Amase pods van Terma inderdaad. Ze zijn wel getest, maar konden niet aangeschaft worden. Denk dat budget hier ook wel een rolletje heeft gespeeld.   

Deze is idd voor grotere toestellen maar het principe blijft hetzelfde lijkt mij.

Maar met nieuwe machines zitten ze waarschijnlijk met het probleem dat ze dan de maritieme aanpassingen zoals ze gedaan zijn bij de huidige WAH-64, deze moeten missen of nog extra moeten aanpassen. Om toch te kunnen opereren vanaf schepen.

De T700-GE-401C is de maritieme versie van de T-700-GE-701C. Het zou mooi zijn als er van de T700-GE-701D (o.a. op de AH-64E en UH-60M) een maritieme versie komt.

De vraag die nu naar bovenkomt is ; waar worden de WestlandAH-64D omgebouwd naar E, is dit bij Boeing of gewoon in de UK bij (Agusta)Westland ?
Als het in de UK is, worden er weer banen/werk gecreëerd, en alleen materieel, apparatuur, motoren e.d. geleverd door de VS en door Westland gemonteerd.
Kan me voorstellen dat dit zeker een belangrijk aspect is geweest.

In het dsca.mil artikel worden alleen Amerikaanse bedrijven genoemd.
The prime contractors will be The Boeing Company in Mesa, Arizona; Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, Florida; General Electric Company in Cincinnati, Ohio; Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training in Owego, New York; and Longbow Limited Liability Corporation in Orlando, Florida. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Misschien dat één of meerdere van deze bedrijven in de UK zitten, zodat daar ook lokaal kan worden gewerkt.

Afwachten wat de definitieve keuze van de Ministry of Defence (MoD) zal gaan worden.

Spain - MQ-9 Block 5 aircraft

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2015 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Spain for MQ-9 Block 5 aircraft and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $243 million.  The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on October 5, 2015.

The Government of Spain requested a possible sale of:

Major Defense Equipment (MDE):

Four (4) MQ-9 Block 5 Remotely Piloted Aircraft

Twenty (20) Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Guidance Unit (EGI) (3 per aircraft, and 8 spares)

Two (2) Mobile Ground Control Stations (MGCS)

Five (5) Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems (MTS-B) (1 per aircraft, 1 spare)

Five (5) Synthetic Aperture Radar, Lynx AN/APY-8 (1 per aircraft, 1 spare)

Also provided are a unique and common spares package, support equipment, United States Air Force (USAF) technical orders, country specific technical orders, Contractor Logistics Support for two (optional three) years, contractor provided aircraft components, spares, and accessories, personnel training, and other related elements of logistical and program support.  The estimated MDE cost is $80 million.  The estimated total cost is $243 million.

This proposed sale enhances the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability of the Spanish military in support of national, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), United Nations, and other coalition operations.  Commonality of ISR capabilities increases interoperability between U.S. and Spanish forces and provides a common interface with other MQ-9 NATO operators, including the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.  The Spanish Air Force intends to use the MQ-9s for homeland security, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, counterinsurgency, and counterterrorism operations.  The proposed sale improves Spain's ability to meet current and future threats by providing improved ISR coverage that promotes increased battlefield situational awareness, anticipates enemy intent, augments combat search and rescue, and provides ground troop support.

Spain requests these capabilities to provide for the defense of its deployed troops, regional security, and interoperability with the United States.  Spain will have no difficulty absorbing this additional capability.

for Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) Ships and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $11.25 billion.

Vreemd prijskaartje voor 4 van deze schepen? De support moet wel omvangrijk zijn om dat te rechtvaardigen. Of zit er ergens iets in die deal verstopt?

Eerder werd nog gesproken over 5 miljard voor 8 schepen:

Ze krijgen er dan ook alle toeters en bellen incl. een aanpassing van het ontwerp (incl MK-41 VLS), heel veel bijbehorend vuurwerk, training, service etc.... een van wieg tot graf voorstel?

Lijkt wel de fregatten uitvoering die de USN ook gaat invoeren.

US OKs Potential $11.25B Saudi Deal for LCS Variant

By Christopher P. Cavas 5:15 p.m. EDT October 20, 2015

WASHINGTON — The US State Department today announced its approval of the proposed sale to Saudi Arabia of four heavily armed versions of the Lockheed Martin littoral combat ship (LCS), a deal that, along with weapons, systems and support, would be worth up to $11.25 billion.

Congress has 30 calendar days to approve or deny the deal, which would mark the first international sale of an LCS variant.

De Saudi versie is een stuk beter bewapend dan de Amerikaanse versie ! maar een kleinere mission bay.

The armament and configuration of the Saudi MMSC is in stark contrast to the US Navy's frigate version of the LCS, now under development. The Navy, in a decision announced in December, chose not to install vertical launch systems (VLS) for missiles or to replace the 57mm guns of the LCS with a heavier 76mm weapon. While the US frigates will have a yet-to-be-determined over-the-horizon missile, there will be no area air defense missile capability.

The Saudi ships, however, will feature a 16-cell VLS installation able to launch Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles, and will carry Harpoon Block II surface-to-surface missiles in dedicated launchers, and anti-air Rolling Airframe Missiles in a SeaRAM close-in weapon system. The MMSC will also mount a 76mm gun.

While the Saudi ships will have a small mission bay, the MMSCs will not feature the mission modules that are the heart of the US Navy's LCS concept.

De Saudi's zijn zo-wie-zo flink aan het investeren in hun Marine, gezien hun Saudi Naval Expansion Program II (SNEP 2)

The four ships, dubbed the Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC), are expected to be classed as frigates by the Saudis. They will be the largest component of the SNEP 2 program, which is also expected to include six corvettes, 20 to 24 patrol vessels, three maritime patrol aircraft, and 30 to 50 UAVs. Altogether, the SNEP 2 program is expected to be worth at least $16 billion.

Ja, maar ze mogen zich ondertussen toch ook wel eens gaan realiseren dat er ooit een einde gaat komen aan die inkomsten en dat er al invloedrijke landen zijn die actief de afhankelijkheid van Olie uit het Midden Oosten aan het verminderen zijn. De Verenigde Arabische Emiraten en dan m.n. Dubai pakken dat m.i. toch wat geraffineerder aan. Ok, ook daar ridicule projecten, maar voor een deel is dat ook de charme die men daar wil uitstralen ''alles kan'' en men weet goed gebruik te maken van de strategische ligging van de regio.

Saoedie-Arabie vind ik wat dat betreft een heel ander verhaal. Ook een stuk zorgwekkender gezien de rol die men heeft gespeelt in het verleden en de rol die men nu en in de toekomst wenst te spelen (en waar wij als Westen helemaal niet zo blij mee zouden moeten zijn).

Je zou verwachten dat men de welvaart tevens wat beter zou verdelen om o.a. het extreme radicalisme enigszins te temperen, maar dat wil men volgens mij maar in beperkte mate al is het maar omdat de Staat ZELF daar ook gewoon fundamentalistisch is met een tribale inslag. Best dramatisch voor het land zelf, maar ook zeker voor de hele regio m.i..

United Arab Emirates (UAE) - Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), Sustainment and Support

WASHINGTON, Nov 5, 2015 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), sustainment and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $380 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on November 4, 2015.

The sale also includes non-MDE related munitions items (fuzes and bomb components), sustainment, and support. The estimated total case value is $380 million.

This proposed sale contributes to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping the UAE remain an active member of the OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE (OIR) coalition working to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) and as part of the Saudi-led coalition to restore the legitimate government in Yemen. These munitions will sustain the UAE's efforts and support a key partner that remains an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.

The proposed sale provides the UAE additional precision guided munitions capability to meet the current threat. The UAE continues to provide host-nation support of vital U.S. forces stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base and plays a vital role in supporting U.S. regional interests. The UAE was a valued partner and an active participant in OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF), OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF), OPERATION UNIFIED PROTECTOR (OUP), and now is a valued partner in OIR coalition operations.

The total estimated value of MDE is $462 million. The overall total estimated value is $599 million.

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally.

Lithuania's acquisition of the Stryker ICV system would represent a major advancement in capability for the Lithuanian Land Forces, filling a vital capability gap that is not currently addressed. The Stryker ICV system would provide maneuverability, speed, and firepower to the Lithuanian Land Forces and enhance Lithuania's ability to contribute to territorial defense and NATO and coalition operations. Lithuania will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

Australia is one of the major political and economic powers in Southeast Asia, a key democratic partner of the United States in ensuring regional peace and stability, a close coalition ally in major/lesser regional contingency operations, and a close cooperative and international exchange agreement partner. It is vital to U.S. national interests that Australia develops and maintains a strong and ready self-defense capability. This sale is consistent with U.S. regional objectives.

The SM-2 Block IIIB missiles proposed in this purchase will be used for anti-air warfare test firings during Combat Systems Ship Qualification Trials for the Royal Australian Navy's three new Air Warfare Destroyers (AWD) currently under construction.
  The SM-2 Block IIIB missiles, combined with the Aegis combat systems in the AWDs, will provide significantly enhanced area defense capabilities over critical South East Asian air-and-sea-lines of communication. Australia has already integrated the SM-2 Block IIIA into its Perry-class FFGs and recently upgraded its Intermediate-Level Maintenance Depot at Defense Establishment Orchard Hills with new guided missile test equipment capable of maintaining the SM-2 All-Up Round. Australia will have no difficulty absorbing these new missiles.

Argentina – T-6C+ Texan Aircraft

WASHINGTON, Aug 3, 2016 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Argentina for T-6C+ Texan aircraft, training, and support. The estimated cost is $300 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on July 29, 2016.

The Government of Argentina has requested a possible sale of twenty-four (24) T-6C+ Texan trainer aircraft, spare engines, initial spare parts, support equipment, communications equipment, studies and surveys, contract logistics support and technical services, aircraft technical publications, aircraft ferry and support, life support equipment, initial maintenance training, initial pilot training, follow-on training, alternate mission equipment, Air Force Materiel Command services and travel, unclassified minor modifications and engineering change proposals, ground-based training system, operational flight trainer (OFT) and OFT spare parts. The estimated value is $300 million.

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major non-NATO ally. This potential sale will provide additional opportunities for bilateral engagements and further strengthen the bilateral relationship between the United States and Argentina.

The Argentine military has embarked on an ambitious path toward modernizing its military materiel. The proposed sale will revitalize Argentina's capability to train its pilots and fulfill border control missions, especially along its porous northern border. The Argentine Air Force (AAF) will use the enhanced capability to redevelop a professional pilot corps and as a deterrent to illicit activity. The AAF is very experienced working with the Pratt & Whitney PT6 family of engines which they currently have on their T-34, King Air, and Cessna Caravan aircraft. Given the logistical commonalities with the aircraft already in its fleet, the AAF will be able to support and field the new T-6C+s.

Eind oktober 2015 tekende Canada een Foreign Military Sales contract ten waarde van USD 11 miljoen voor 225 GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway geleiding kits = USD 48.889 per stuk.  Deze gecombineerde laser en GPS/INS geleide bommen moeten voor september 2016 moeten worden geleverd.

Op 1 april 2008 kocht Nederland 200 GBU-49's voor een onbekend bedrag.

Voor (kleine en middelgrote) NAVO landen zijn dit normale aantallen.
Maar in het Midden-Oosten pakt men aanschaf van vliegtuig bommen veel grootschaliger aan.
Voorbeeld: Op november 30, 2011, meldde de DSCA een potentiële verkoop van 4.900 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits met een geschatte waarde van USD 304 miljoen aan de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten.

Toch is er iets bijzonders aan de hand met deze DSCA verkoop toestemming.

Potential Game-Changing NATO Order Bundling for Precision-Guided Munitions.

There is some potentially big news in the defense and warfare industry, but more in process than in size.
It is also important to realize that this is not written in stone yet. The U.S. State Department has now approved the potential sale of precision-guided munitions and equipment to its NATO partners. This is a pilot program where NATO could spend about $231 million, whereby NATO's own support and procurement unit would be the actual buyer for militaries inside of NATO.

What makes this effort different versus so many years worth of prior orders is that arms sales by U.S. companies are traditionally made with individual nations. This is effectively a procurement alliance, and it is aimed at saving money by being able to get a larger grouped order or orders. How it will work through time, and whether or not it ultimately cannibalizes higher margin individual nation sales, remains to be seen.

One issue which could delay or block this new effort and process might be a concern about whether or not the technology could be transferred to outside parties/nations. Still, we shall have to wait and see whether or not the order is given the final approval.

This order specifically names subsidiaries of The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) and Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) as the beneficiaries. We have taken a look at the details and compared to the a larger picture for each company below.

The news release's quote from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, edited down, said:

The proposed sale improves NATO members' capability to meet current and future ground threats with precision. They will use the enhanced capacity as a deterrent to regional threats, and to increase interoperability within contingency operations. Many of the purchasing nations already have precision-guided munitions in their inventories and will have no difficulty absorbing these additional munitions... Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to NATO... There is no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale... This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

NATO Support and Procurement Agency showed a list of which systems will make up this approximately $231 million order. They were as follows:

500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Guidance Kits, KMU-556 F/B;
40 JDAM Guidance Kits, KMU-557 F/B;
1,500 JDAM Guidance Kits, KMU-572 F/B;
1,000 MAU 210 E/B Computer Control Groups for 1,000-lb. Enhanced Paveway IIs;
300 MAU 210 E/B Computer Control Groups for GBU-49s;
1,025 MAU 169 L/B Computer Control Groups for GBU-12s;
1,350 Joint Programmable Fuzes, FMU-152 A/B;
60 Bomb Fin Assembly and Airfoil Group 650-MXU K/B for GBU-12s;
and 1,025 Bomb Fin Assembly and Airfoil Group, MXU-650 K/B AFG for GBU-12s.
The order also included the following: Detector Sensing Unit (DSU)-38A/B Laser sensors; DSU-33D/B proximity sensors; Wireless Paveway Avionics Kit (WIPAK) interfaces for Enhanced Paveway II bombs; FMU-139C/B electronic bomb fuzes; repair and return services; transportation; engineering services; and other support services.

Normally 24/7 Wall St. would not get too excited about a $231 million order that is being split among two multi-billion defense contractors. Still, this is the first and it could ultimately lead to larger single orders rather than so many small orders.


If approved by Congress, NATO member countries like the Czech Republic, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain would be able to get the precision-guided munitions by sharing costs and pooling resources to actually buy and pay for the weapons. This deal is said to be in tranches and was a two-year pilot program that started in early 2015 via the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

Voor (kleine en middelgrote) NAVO landen zijn dit normale aantallen.
Maar in het Midden-Oosten pakt men aanschaf van vliegtuig bommen veel grootschaliger aan.
Voorbeeld: Op november 30, 2011, meldde de DSCA een potentiële verkoop van 4.900 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits met een geschatte waarde van USD 304 miljoen aan de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten.

Toch is er iets bijzonders aan de hand met deze DSCA verkoop toestemming.

Wat ook de reden zal zijn dat we tijdens een mini campagne in Libië door de stocks heen raken.
Dergelijke aankoop en voorraadbeheer samenwerkingen zijn in mijn ogen zeker toe te juichen. Uiteraard zie ik liever de Europese industriele basis versterkt.

Om een idee te geven van het munitie verbruik.
De Deense luchtmacht beëindigde op 1 oktober 2015 een 12 maanden uitzending met 7 F-16's ten behoeve van ops Inherent Resolve ter bestrijding van IS.
Zij vlogen in totaal 547 missies waarin 503 geleide bommen werden verbruikt.

Dan het bommen verbruik boven Libya in ops Odyssey Dawn en daarop volgend ops Unified Protector (31 maart - 31 oktober 2011):
UK:                1.420  geleide bommen
Frankrijk:       1.140          ,,
USA:              1.026          ,,               (t/m 22-08-11)
Denemarken:     923         ,,
Italie:                710         ,,
Canada:             696         ,,   
Noorwegen:       588          ,,
Belgie:              472          ,,
V.A.E.:            geheim,  in 100+ missies
Qatar:             'enkele'

Totaal:            7.642    (exclusief onbekende aantallen VAE en Qatar)

De Deense luchtmacht vloog boven Libya  in totaal 600 missies met 4 F-16's en klokte in totaal 4.950 vlieguren.  Zij zeggen dat hun totale geschatte missie kosten slechts USD 64,2 miljoen bedroegen.
De Denen gebruikten: GBU-12 500 lbs laser geleide bommen;  GBU-24 2000 lbs laser geleid;  GBU-31 2000 lbs GPS geleid en de GBU-49 laser-, en GPS geleide 500 lbs bom.
Hun voorraden zouden al snel uitgeput zijn zonder hulp van bondgenoten.
De VS speelde in die hulp uiteraard een sleutelrol, de Denen kregen ook GBU's van andere landen zoals Nederland en men kocht GBU kit's in Israel.
(Met dank aan de Deense luchtmacht)

Nederland is een van de meest gesloten landen qua wapen inzet info boven Irak, om tactische en politieke redenen.
Sinds oktober 2014 t/m begin dit jaar vloog de KLu 1.500 missies, waarbij officieel 1.050 keer wapens werden ingezet.
Men schat dat in 700 inzetten het boordkanon werd gebruikt en geschat 350 keer een bom of bommen werden afgeworpen.

Kosten per geleide bom, bron Franse Luchtmacht:
Laser geleide GBU-12, GBU-24 en GBU-49:      EUR 52.000 - 67.000
Nederland kocht vorig jaar 500 ponds GBU-49M's voor circa USD 59.000 per stuk.
In Frankrijk wordt ook de AASM Hammer geproduceerd in 125 kg, 250 kg, 500 kg en 1.000 kg varianten.
Qua geleiding zijn er de 'smaken': SBU-38 = GPS / INS geleid;  SBU-54 = GPS /INS en infra-rood; en de SBU-64 = GPS/INS plus laser.
De AASM is voorzien van een raketmotor heeft op lage hoogte een officieel bereik van 15 kilometer en kan t.o.v. een Amerikaanse GBU 90% meer oppervlakte bestrijken.
Op grote hoogte is er een bereik van 50 km, hoewel vanaf 40.000 voet al 60 km gehaald is.  Bij een bereik van 50 km wordt 75 % meer oppervlakte bestreken t.o.v. een Amerikaanse GBU.   De Hammer is boven Libya ingezet tegen o.a. SA-3 luchtdoel raketsystemen.
Ook de Amerikanen vinden dit een indrukwekkend raket aangedreven wapen.
Maar er hangt wel een prijskaartje aan van geschat 164.000 Euro, exclusief ontwikkelingskosten.
Eind 2012 waren er in totaal 2.348 AASM kits aangeschaft voor 846 miljoen,inclusief ontwikkelingskosten a 253,8 miljoen, is gemiddeld EUR 252.000.
Dit is maar liefst ca. 5 - 12 keer duurder dan een Amerikaanse laser / GPS geleide bom !
Maar de USA heeft er dan ook geschat een kwart miljoen stuks van afgeleverd.

In Israel maakt IAI de Griffin laser-, en/of GPS/INS- of gecombineerde geleide kit voor 500 / 1000 en 2000 ponders.
En Elbit biedt de Lizzard geleide kit aan, in dezelfde 3 smaken, welke o.a. aan Italie geleverd is.

De AASM is modulair, dus zou ook zonder raketmotor gebouwd kunnen worden en zodoende goedkoper kunnen worden.
Maar om echt op Amerikaans prijs niveau's te geraken, zouden de Europeanen gezamenlijk en in totaal veel meer geleide bom kit's moeten aanschaffen.
En daar hebben ze echter de politieke en economische wil niet voor.  En de VS leent maar graag (relatief goedkope) GBU's uit.  Want voor wat, hoort wat.

Eens was er een mooi plan om alle infrarood geleide air-to-air raketten aan beide kanten van de Atlantische Oceaan te vervangen door de ASRAAM.

Uiteindelijk kwam die ASRAAM alleen in dienst bij het VK en Australia.
De andere Europese landen gingen verder met de IRIS-T.  De tegendraadse Fransen doen het met de MICA IR.
En de Amerikanen en sommige Europese landen kozen voor de AIM-9X Sidewinder.
Bij de Beyond Visual Range raketten kan je kiezen uit AIM-120, Franse MICA (Radar) of Meteor.
Dus wordt het moeilijker om de "economies of scale" te bereiken en de diverse wapens zijn ook niet zomaar op elk vliegtuig type in te zetten.
Dan ben je tientallen miljoenen Euro's kwijt om bijvoorbeeld de MICA te integreren op de F-35.

Voor de F-35 is de keuze waarschijnlijk beperkt tot AMRAAM of meteor in de BVR en ASRAAM of AIM-9X voor de korte afstand. Zou het dan wel mogelijk zijn als we als Europese partners dezelfde keuzes maken?

De EU heeft ongeveer 20 luchtmachten, daarnaast zijn er natuurlijk nog wat partners (bijv. Noorwegen), technisch is het heel makkelijk om munitie te poolen. Maar lees vooral het laatste stuk van Poleme's #144. Het is belangrijk om het politiek te verkopen.

En de VS zit er maar wat graag tussen. Zij hebben natuurlijk enorm voordeel bij deze verhouding.

Reguliere Afghaanse troepen hadden al Amerikaanse klein kaliber wapens zoals de M16A2. De M16A4 is de flat-top versie hiervan. Als er al iets specifieks voor een elite eenheid bedoeld is, dan misschien de M110.

Australia – Gulfstream G550 Aircraft with Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (AISREW) Mission Systems

(Source: Defense Security Cooperation Agency; issued June 26, 2017)

WASHINGTON --- The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Australia for Gulfstream G550 Aircraft with Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (AISREW) mission systems. The estimated cost is $1.3 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on June 23, 2017.

The Government of Australia requested the possible sale of up to five (5) Gulfstream G-550 aircraft modified to integrate Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (AISREW) mission systems, Global Positioning System (GPS) capability, secure communications, aircraft defensive systems; spares, including whole life costs of airborne and ground segments; aircraft modification and integration; ground systems for data processing and crew training; ground support equipment; publications and technical data; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services; flight test and certification; and other related elements of logistical and program support.

The total estimated program cost is $1.3 billion.
This sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major contributor to political stability, security, and economic development in the Western Pacific. Australia is an important Major non-NATO Ally and partner that contributes significantly to peacekeeping and humanitarian operations around the world. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.

The proposed sale supports and complements the ongoing efforts of Australia to modernize its Electronic Warfare capability and increases interoperability between the U.S. Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Australia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment does not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The prime contractors will be L3 of Greenville, TX. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale may require the assignment of up to six (6) U.S. contractor representatives to Australia.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

Is alweer even geleden, maar dit vind ik wel een opvallende aankoop gezien de schaal e.d. Pac-3 ook.

Citaat
WASHINGTON, Jul. 11, 2017 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Romania for Patriot air defense systems, related support and equipment.  The estimated cost is $3.9 billion.  The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on July 10, 2017.

The Government of Romania has requested the possible sale of seven (7) Patriot Configuration-3+ Modernized Fire Units consisting of:  seven (7) AN/MPQ-65 radar sets, seven (7) AN/MSQ-132 engagement control stations, thirteen (13) antenna mast groups, twenty-eight (28) M903 launching stations, fifty-six (56) Patriot MIM-104E Guidance Enhanced Missile-TBM (GEM-T) missiles, one hundred and sixty-eight (168) Patriot Advanced Capabilty-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles, and seven (7) Electrical Power Plants (EPP) III.   Also included with this request are communications equipment, tools and test equipment, support equipment, prime movers, generators, publications and technical documentation, training equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training, TAFT team, U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics support services, Systems Integration and Checkout (SICO), field office support, and other related elements of logistics and program support.  The total estimated program cost is $3.9 billion.

This proposed sale will enhance the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally that has been, and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress within Europe.  The proposed sale of the Patriot system will support Romania's needs for its own self-defense and support NATO defense goals.

Romania will use the Patriot missile system to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional threats.  The proposed sale will increase the defensive capabilities of the Romanian military to guard against aggression and shield the NATO allies who often train and operate within Romania's borders.  Romania should have no difficulty absorbing this system into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of these missiles and equipment will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The prime contractors will be Raytheon Corporation in Andover, Massachusetts, and Lockheed-Martin in Dallas, Texas.  There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require approximately 30 U.S. Government and  40 contractor representatives to travel to Romania for an extended period for equipment de-processing/fielding, system checkout, training, and technical and logistics support.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

Dat valt ook wel weer mee, want Roemenie geeft zo ongeveer rond het Europees gemiddelde uit aan Defensie en het is nu niet bepaald een erg rijk of groot land vandaar dat ik deze miljardendeal best opvallend vind en ook positief. De ligging t.o.v. Rusland maakt het ook niet onlogisch en het aantal jachtvliegtuigen wat men heeft is zonder meer beperkt.

Het lijkt er op dat Roemenie ervoor kiest om m.b.t. luchtverdediging m.n. te investeren in SAM's. Men wil nog een aantal, ik meen 24, tweedehands F16's aanschaffen, maar dat is het dan ook wel weer voorlopig. Mogelijk over een jaar of 20 dan F35A's, maar de focus budgetair lijkt i.i.g. voorlopig op SAM's te liggen.

Qua reactie tijd zijn SAM batterijen voor Romenie ook een betere optie ipv gevechtstoestellen want dat duurt toch een 3 a 5 minuten voor deze in de lucht zijn. Een SAM batterij met vaste opstelling kan binnen enkele seconden reageren.

Opzich kan dit waar zijn.
Echter, zoals Mourning opmerkt is het een enorm bedrag voor een land met een economie van 189 miljard dollar en veel achterstallige investeringen.
Vergelijkbaar met 16 miljard voor ons. Afgezet tegen het defensie budget is het nog erger.
Maargoed, niet vergeten, het zijn notices, nog heel ver van een deal af.

De AIM-120C-7 is ter vervanging van de verouderde AIM-120B en is bestemd voor de F-16AM/BM. De C versie heeft clipped fins en past daardoor in het interne wapenruim van de F-35A. Ze zijn nog niet bedoeld voor NASAMS. Daar is de order wel erg klein voor  ;)

Meteor helemaal uit beeld?

Denk het niet. Op de korte termijn moest de AIM-120B een keer worden vervangen. En op de lange termijn, als de F-35A in gebruik is, zal toch worden gekozen tussen AIM-120D en Meteor. Straks zijn er meerdere Europese F-35 met Meteor gebruikers. Kan een kans zijn voor Nederland.

Het zou een aanzienlijke uitbreiding betekenen van de interne en externe load. (12 x Cuda intern voor de F35A)

Amerikanen hebben een overschot en daarnaast,

A. Binden ze zo Kuweit aan ze als afnemer op het gebied van MBT's, dus een 'gewonnen' speler. Precies zoals ze dat met de F-16 doen. Eenmaal in huis is hun blik ook voortaan Amerikaans op meerdere vlakken.
B. Het zijn hoogstwaarschijnlijk opgebruikte voertuigen, althans voor de Amerikaanse markt.
C. Het is geen topmodel, dus afvloeing is perfect.. de M1a2 is zelfs voorradig bij de Amerikanen.


Dan nog, is 1,3 ton de tank erg goedkoop.

Duitsland zal deze (voornamelijk) gebruiken voor vervanging van Breguet Altantic, welke zou worden vervangen door de EuroHawk die er niet kwam.
Interessant dat Duitsland wel de keuze maakt, terecht, voor maritieme surveillance met combi Orions en deze Triton.

Gek dat Nederland deze capaciteit geheel heeft afgestoten, onterecht, en ook geen enkele aanstalten maakt om deze capaciteit terug te krijgen. Combi Poseidon en Triton zou voor Nederland zeer waardevol zijn.
Zou een investering van €5 miljard zijn; dus dat komt er niet.
Wel gek dat wij wel kiezen voor de Reaper

Duitsland zal deze (voornamelijk) gebruiken voor vervanging van Breguet Altantic, welke zou worden vervangen door de EuroHawk die er niet kwam.
Interessant dat Duitsland wel de keuze maakt, terecht, voor maritieme surveillance met combi Orions en deze Triton.

Gek dat Nederland deze capaciteit geheel heeft afgestoten, onterecht, en ook geen enkele aanstalten maakt om deze capaciteit terug te krijgen. Combi Poseidon en Triton zou voor Nederland zeer waardevol zijn.
Zou een investering van €5 miljard zijn; dus dat komt er niet.
Wel gek dat wij wel kiezen voor de Reaper

Voor het afschaffen moet je bij dhr. Kamp zijn maar goed ik verwacht wel dat we deze capaciteit terug willen maar dat het niet paste binnen het huidige budget.
Misschien bij het herzien van de nota in 2020 als er meer budget gevonden is. Een combinatie van 6 P-8's / Airbus MPA met 4 MQ-C's zouden we mooi kunnen samen opereren met de Duiters.

6x Swordfish +2x normale Global 6000 als vervangers van de F50's en gulfstream zou een mooie vloot zijn tegen een relatief lage prijs.

De NH90 zou ook een dergelijk systeem moeten hebben lijkt me.

De NH90 fabrikant heeft twee verschillende ophangpunten en beide zouden een 19-schots rocket launcher moeten kunnen dragen.

Wat te denken van twee rocket launchers of een rocket launcher en een gun pod?

Edit. Om dit topic niet verder te vervuilen ga ik verder in het NH90 topic.

Dit is het systeem dat we weer voor tig jaar moeten gebruiken. Misschien dat er in het project vMFF's een aantal extra mk54's en/of VL-ASROC's met mk54 worden meegenomen zodat we over grotere aantallen beschikken. Als je kijkt dat we in 1981 500 conversion kits aankochten voor de mk46 naar mk46 mod 5 NEARTIP is die 106 van nu niet veel. En sinds dien hebben we er ook geen cent meer aan uit gegeven. Misschien deze discussie beter voeren in het KM topic.

Waarom zouden we 2 type's lichte torpedo in het arsenaal nodig hebben of überhaupt willen hebben? Ik verwacht dat men wel heeft overwogen bij het vervangen van de mk46 om over te stappen op de MU90 maar dat de mk54 modificatie toch goedkoper is geweest. En ook het feit dat de KM overweegt/ overwoog om de VL-ASROC aan te schaffen voor de nieuwe M-fregatten zal een rol gespeeld hebben bij de keuze voor mk54. MU90 was daar mogelijk geweest maar dan hadden we zelfstandig de ontwikkelingskosten voor de aanpassingen moeten bekostigen en dat is natuurlijk te duur.

Nederland is de enige mk46 gebruiker op de NH90. We hadden de mk46 + bijbehorende apparatuur etc. al voor de Lynx. Een aparte torpedo inventaris voor alleen je helikopters is niet rendabel. Dan had de hele vloot over moeten stappen, en dat was te duur geweest. Nu upgraden we onze bestaande mk46's naar mk54 variant.
De ophangbeugel voor de MU90 en mk46 is nagenoeg hetzelfde.

Voor zover mij bekend worden de Belgsiche torpedo's in Nederland onderhouden, opgeslagen en geladen aan boord van de schepen. Als Amerika en NL de Mk46 straks niet meer ondersteunen hebben ze een probleem dus het lijkt me logisch als ze hun mk46's ook ombouwen.
Citaat van: MinDefBinnen de samenwerking met België wordt gestreefd naar overeenkomstige configuraties aan boord van de M-fregatten. België beschikt eveneens over de Mk 46 LWT en zal Nederland waarschijnlijk volgen in dit vervangingstraject.

De Belgische NH90's worden volgens mij (nog?) niet in de ASW rol ingezet.

Marineschepen.nl heeft een artikel  (https://marineschepen.nl/nieuws/nieuwe-Mk-54-torpedo-fregatten-030818.html#disqus_thread)gemaakt rondom de FMS hierin staat ook aangegeven dat het DMPO 2017 al uitgaat van uitbreiding van het aantal op een later tijdstip. Ik verwacht dit zo rond de introductie van de vMFF samen met Belgie dus rond 2025. Het artikel spreekt over de planning in het DMPO 2017 van 2026+, wat natuurlijk vreemd zou zijn om dan ook de nieuwe fregatten nog tijdelijk uit te rusten met de mk46's maar zeker niet ondenkbaar. Ik hoop dat er een paar slimme koppen bij DMO dit ook zien en proberen dit recht te trekken voor in elk geval de nieuwe fregatten. Zeker omdat vanaf 2018 de VS de mk46 niet meer ondersteund zitten we met een 8 jaar of meer gat.

Ik weet ook niet wat de aantallen zijn die normaal per schip aanwezig zijn in de opslag, zo zou je ongeveer kunnen berekenen hoeveel er minimaal nog bij moeten komen.

Ook iets dat niet eerder was aangekondigd, en de mk56 is een bijzondere optie die net vaak gekozen word. Gezien het lage aantal raketten (6 + 2 test raketten) zal het geen prioriteit hebben bij de Mexicanen op dit moment. De Mexicanen hebben naast dit eerste SIGMA schip nog interesse in maximaal 5 extra schepen als vervanging van hun oude generatie fregatten. Maar ze bouwen er nu 1 met plannen voor nog 3 aan te kopen en misschien later nog 2 extra zodat ze in totaal op 6 stuks uit komen.

CitaatJust before 5pm on the Friday of a holiday weekend, @SecPompeo puts out a statement on the emergency notification of arms sales to Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7XF_3gXoAAKiQT.png)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump declares emergency to expedite arms sales to Saudi Arabia and UAE

Washington (CNN)The Trump administration has declared an emergency to bypass Congress and expedite billions of dollars in arms sales to various countries -- including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates -- citing the need to deter what it called "the malign influence" of Iran throughout the Middle East.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo formally told lawmakers Friday of the administration's plans.
"These sales will support our allies, enhance Middle East stability, and help these nations to deter and defend themselves from the Islamic Republic of Iran," Pompeo said in a statement that put the value of the sales at $8.1 billion.
In a Friday letter to congressional lawmakers, Pompeo said that he "determined that an emergency exists, which requires the immediate sale of the defense articles and defense services" to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan "in order to deter further the malign influence of the Government of Iran throughout the Middle East region," according to a copy obtained by CNN.
The notification comes on the same day as President Donald Trump's announcement that he is sending an additional 1,500 US troops to the Middle East to counter Iran. Pompeo noted in his statement that "today's action will quickly augment our partners' capacity to provide for their own self-defense and reinforce recent changes to US posture in the region to deter Iran."
Overall, the State Department listed more than 20 proposed sales, according to a congressional source.

CNN reported earlier Friday that the Trump administration was planning to announce its decision to use a pre-existing rule that would allow it to expedite arms sales to allies in the Middle East. The move drew bipartisan condemnation, with lawmakers decrying the precedent it sets, questioning the administration's claims of an emergency and raising the issue of Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Pompeo directly addressed lawmakers' unhappiness in his statement, saying, "I intend for this determination to be a one-time event." He noted that the provision has been used by at least four previous administrations since 1979, and said "this specific measure does not alter our long-standing arms transfer review process with Congress."
But he cast blame at Congress as well.

'Congressional delay'
"Delaying this shipment could cause degraded systems and a lack of necessary parts and maintenance that could create severe airworthiness and interoperability concerns for our key partners, during a time of increasing regional volatility," Pompeo said. "These national security concerns have been exacerbated by many months of Congressional delay in addressing these critical requirements, and have called into doubt our reliability as a provider of defense capabilities, opening opportunities for U.S. adversaries to exploit."
A US official tells CNN that the arms packages for UAE and Saudi Arabia will include surveillance aircraft and maintenance, as well as training programs, advanced precision kill weapon guidance systems and Javelin missiles.
"The Trump Administration formally informed Congress that it is invoking an obscure provision of the Arms Export Control Act to eliminate the statutorily-required Congressional review of the sales of precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and others, but failed to explain its legal or practical basis for doing so," New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.

'Disappointed, but not surprised'
"I am disappointed, but not surprised, that the Trump Administration has failed once again to prioritize our long-term national security interests or stand up for human rights, and instead is granting favors to authoritarian countries like Saudi Arabia," he added.
The committee's Republican chairman, Sen. Jim Risch, told CNN that he has "received formal notification of the administration's intent to move forward with a number of arms sales" and is reviewing the legal justification for this action.
Section 36 of the Arms Control Act allows the White House to forgo the traditional 30-day congressional notification period for arms sales of the President declares an emergency, thereby preventing Congress from being able to put a hold on any arms deals.

"President Trump is only using this loophole because he knows Congress would disapprove of this sale," Murphy said in a statement. "There is no new 'emergency' reason to sell bombs to the Saudis to drop in Yemen, and doing so only perpetuates the humanitarian crisis there. This sets an incredibly dangerous precedent that future presidents can use to sell weapons without a check from Congress."
"We have the constitutional duty to declare war and the responsibility to oversee arm sales that contravene our national security interests. If we don't stand up to this abuse of authority, we will permanently box ourselves out of deciding who we should sell weapons to," Murphy added.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that Trump's decision to sell arms outside the standard review process "is unacceptable" and that Khashoggi's murder changed her view of Riyadh.
"My whole view of Saudi Arabia changed with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi," Feinstein said.
"I will not support another Saudi arms sale, and I urge all of my Senate colleagues to stand up for congressional prerogative and block the President's end-run around the law."

Opvallend dat de Super Hornet optie duurder is dan de F-35 optie.
Meestal zijn prijzen niet te vergelijken vanwege eventuele meegeleverde training, spare-parts en wapens, maar in dit geval mogen we er vanuit gaan dat de Zwitsers een vergelijkbaar pakket gevraagd hebben.
Laat zien dat een tweemotorige jet een flinke kostenpost is.
Wel jammer dat het met de reductie in aantallen waarschijnlijk wel einde Patrouille de Suisse zal worden wanneer de F-5 uitgefaseerd wordt.

Overigens belachelijk dat Zwitserland luchtafweersystemen zoals de Patriot gaat aanschaffen terwijl het aantal jachtvliegtuigen steeds verder terug loopt. In de situatie van Zwitserland (geen enkele geavanceerde dreiging voor eigen luchtruim, omringt door vriendschappelijke landen) lijkt me dat je meer hebt aan jachtvliegtuigen dan aan een patriot. Jachtvliegtuigen kun je nog inzetten voor bvb humanitaire interventies of anti-ISIS operaties (niet dat Zwitserland beide snel zal doen).

Daar zijn wel berichten over. Ook de LRASM zal in de toekomst worden geïntegreerd. Nu moeten de P-8A Poseidon/P-8I Neptune gebruikers het met de Harpoon doen. Van de RAF weet ik het niet, Maar de RAAF heeft al veel met de Harpoon op hun Poseidons geoefend.

Het is altijd al een zeer matig systeem geweest.
Echter, als er genoeg van die dingen op je afkomen wordt het vanzelf gevaarlijk. Juist als dit ding vervangen wordt, kan het wel eens nuttig zijn dit te onderzoeken.
Het is namelijk, met al zijn gebreken, wel een systeem waarvan een aardige stock is. Heb je vandaag oorlog kan de US morgen 250 van die dingen leveren. En dat is duidelijk beter dan niks.
Maargoed, een dergelijke stop-gap moet ook een duidelijke opvolger hebben. Je kunt binnen 10 jaar voldoende JSM's of LRASM hebben. Die outlook moet je dan ook aan werken.
Een zeer matig systeem maar toch de meest gebruikte AShM in de westerse wereld, hoe dan?
Tijdens een simulatie een aantal jaren geleden had een LCF een stuk of zes Harpoons nodig om één vijandelijk schip uit te schakelen als ik het me goed herinner. Nou weet ik de details van die simulatie natuurlijk niet.

End of the scenarios - YETHA: The decision for the purchase of Belharra has been taken
11/12/2021 - 16:44

The Ministry of National Defense announced that the decision of the Greek government to proceed with the supply of three French "Belharra" type frigates has been taken.

It is clarified that all procedures have been launched so that the negotiations can be completed soon.

It is stressed that in the immediate future, the contracts for Belharra will be put before the competent bodies of Parliament for a vote.

YETHA's announcement comes in response to scenarios launched after the State Department announced that the US government had approved the "potential sale" of four frigates and their equipment , worth $ 6.9 billion, to Greece.

The same announcement - which de facto considered the decision on the French Belhara frigates not "over" - became known that Washington also approved the possible contract for the modernization of the four Greek MEKO class frigates, valued at 2.5 billion. dollars.

It is recalled that as OnAlert reported a few days ago and specifically on December 8, "In the first quarter of 2022, the contract for the acquisition of the three state-of-the-art Belharra frigates and the additional 6 Rafale fighter aircraft is expected to be signed."

The OnAlert report also stated that "the consultations of the General Directorate of Armaments and Defense Investments (GDAEE) with the French side for the final configuration and armament of the Belharra, but also for their technical support have not been completed and are not expected to be completed. until the end of the year ".

However, after the current developments, it is not excluded that the Greek-French negotiations for Belharra will be accelerated as much as possible.

Greece confirmed on Saturday 11 December its choice of the French IDF for its future frigates. The French government for its part clarified that the contract was signed a few days ago. Final procedures are underway for it to enter into force, in particular the vote of the Greek parliament, which should take place very quickly. The order concerns three defense and intervention frigates (FDI) which will be carried out by the Naval Group shipyard in Lorient. They must be delivered in 2025 and 2026. A fourth unit is optional.

Welk systeem is snel(ler) leverbaar?

De vraag naar het HIMARS systeem is op dit moment enorm toegenomen door de oorlog in Oekraïne, de productie capaciteit zit al deels vol voornamelijk door de Amerikanen zelf. Als we snel een systeem willen is dit het systeem waar we voor moeten kiezen, maar dan moeten we ook niet te lang treuzelen met bestellen.

Voor de MARS 2.0 zijn we afhankelijk van de Duitse opslag, als daar nog MARS 1.0 voertuigen in staan dan kunnen we die over kopen en de modernisering zelf laten uitvoeren bij de (Duitse) industrie.

De opvolger van MARS 2.0 is nog maar in ontwikkeling, ook hiervoor zullen we afhankelijk zijn van de Duitse behoefte naar dit systeem. Een voordeel hiervan kan zijn dat onze eigen industrie hier nog aan kan mee werken en ook dat het een nieuw systeem is. Maar nadeel is ook dat het nog in ontwikkeling is.

Er zijn natuurlijk ook nog wel wat vreemde eendjes zoals ;
- PULS (Israel)
- K239 Chunmoo (Zuid Korea)

Israelische bedrijven hebben vaker succesvol verkopen gedaan aan NAVO landen en ook de Koreanen zijn flink aan de weg aan het timmeren.

Ik verwacht wel dat we aan onze standaard NAVO 227 mm vasthouden als basis.

Als ik kijk naar de recente poolse plannen van 500 HIMARS voertuigen voor 80 batterijen kom je uit op 6,25 voertuigen per batterij. Met onze 12 HIMARS of andere MLRS kunnen we dus 2 batterijen operationeel vullen, daarmee hebben we nog geen trainings en/of reserve  capaciteit in huis. Laten we eens beginnen met 1 operationele batterij + training / reserve en daarna nog eens verder kijken of we misschien nog 1 of 2 operationele batterijen kunnen invoeren.

Die 500 Poolse HIMARS zijn het andere uiteinde van het spectrum, maar dat Nederland 'begint' het dubbele aantal van Estland (...) Straalt niet heel veel ambitie en urgentie uit.
Ik denk dat de Polen niet paranoïde zijn, noch het defensiebeleid van een Saoudie-Arabië  nastreven, maar wel realistisch zijn over wie hun buurman is. En binnen de NAVO, jouw buurman is mijn buurman.

En dit zijn de systemen die echt moeilijk te verkrijgen zijn als poep de wereld ventilator raakt. Pas gerust als ze hier liggen.

Standaard text erbij.

The proposed sale will improve the Netherlands' capability to meet current and future threats.  The proposed sale will increase the defensive capabilities of the Netherlands' military and supports its goal of improving national and territorial defense as well as interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces.  The Netherlands will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

Jazeker je kan bijvoorbeeld kiezen voor een manpads van de Vierde generatie zoals de Japanse Type 91 surface-to-air missile

Ik begrijp helemaal deze gedachte, maar ik ben het er niet mee eens. Na jaren van bezuinigen kunnen we de mensen niet overspoelen met nieuw materieel zonder dat er genoeg personeel voor is om de basis in stand te houden.

Er is hier op het forum vaker gezegd dat alles wat we weggeven terug gekocht gaat worden, hierover spreekt ook de C-LAS in het nieuwe landmacht magazine. In hetzelfde magazine staat een stuk over de patriots voor Oekraine. Daarin word aangegeven dat we met de VS afspraken gemaakt hebben over het versnellen van de leveringen voor de 4e patriot batterij.

Het nieuwe materieel komt er wel dat geloof ik, maar het zal enkele jaren in beslag nemen voordat we hier iets fysiek van gaan zien. En Himars is een mooi systeem, maar er zijn meerdere systemen die hetzelfde doen.


Uit landmacht magazine
CitaatVierde operationeel
Een van de maatregelen uit de Defensienota van 2022 is om ook de vierde vuureenheid in bedrijf te stellen. Hiervoor moet personeel aangetrokken worden en moet een deel van dat systeem bij de fabrikant in de Verenigde Staten gereed gemaakt worden. Inmiddels hebben de VS en Nederland afspraken gemaakt om het vervangingstraject van nieuw te leveren onderdelen te versnellen.

Een optie maar er zijn ook nog andere opties zoals de K239 Chunmoo die ook gekozen is door Polen en interesse heeft van de Noren. Daarnaast is er nog de optie Duitse ontwikkelings plannen, maar dat gaat nog wel enkele jaren duren en daar moeten we niet op willen wachten. Tenzij we iets aankopen als interim oplossing waardoor het Duitse plan de tijd kan krijgen om te ontwikkelen.

18 m142 + nog 468 losse modules die ze op eigen trucks willen monteren. Al met al dus bijna 500 lanceerplatforms
Citaat van: HM op 08/02/2023 | 08:52 uur
Let even op de details:
four hundred sixty-eight (468) HIMARS Launcher Loader Module kits

Bovenstaande is ook een launcher maar zonder truck. Dus die $10 miljard is voor heel veel meer.

waarom?
Ah, ik wist niet dat die module kits daarvoor bedoeld waren (ik wist simpelweg niet wat het was), dat maakt het een hele andere bestelling! Dan is 't eigenlijk best een schappelijk prijsje.

Nu nog wat 120mm gemechaniseerd en gemotoriseerd dan is de artillerie weer op sterkte. Volgende stap hopelijk horizontale vuurkracht versterking dan kunnen we weer een tik uitdelen en een klap opvangen.

Nee. Alle voertuigen zijn amerikaans. Zowel de launchers als de ondersteunende vrachtwagens en bergingsvoertuigen.

Het is een FMS goedkeuring, dus eigenlijk niks meer dan een akkoord om himars naar Nederland te exporteren. Er is nog geen contract getekend met LM, ik weet uit kamerstukken dat er een 2e offerte is aangevraagd bij niet genoemde partij. De vraag is nu welke offerte past binnen budget , welke voldoet beste aan onze eisen en wie kan het snelste leveren?

Dan denk ik dat we de Barak voor de KM ook wel definitief kunnen afschrijven?

Anyhow, zeer positief nieuws deze HIMARS-aanschaf, maar ik dacht dat we dit samen met een bondgenoot zouden doen of gold dat enkel voor het PULS-systeem als dat het was geworden? Kan me ook voorstellen dat we minder met een bondgenoot hoeven op te trekken bij HIMARS daar het inmiddels al door een redelijk groot aantal NATO-bondgenoten is besteld en bij een redelijk aantal ook al is ingevoerd.

Maar EINDELIJK (!!!) een knoop die eens wordt doorgehakt!

Als Barak door de huidige Israelische regering ook buiten de boot gaat vallen dan ook op dit dossier doorpakken. Ik vermoed dat dat ook zomaar een gezamenlijke aankoop met bondgenoten zou kunnen worden (schaalvoordeel), dus mogelijk dat dat iets langer zal duren.

Dat is misschien maar beter ook, onze KM heeft zoveel kennis van de SM-familie en overige Amerikaanse raketten dat het dood zonde zou zijn om daar vanaf te stappen. We zijn als een van de weinige in Europa in staat zelf het onderhoud aan de raketten uit te voeren.

Het is gebleken dat de HMMWV erg snel schade oploopt door lichte infanterie wapens, de opbouw is namelijk van aluminium. Het is niet ontworpen om tegen zulke wapens bescherming te bieden. De Humvee is ook niet bestand tegen raketwerpers. Tijdens de Irakoorlog bleken de Humvees ook zeer kwetsbaar te zijn voor IED's
Begin 2006 waren er al 250 Humvees verloren gegaan in Irak.
Dus heeft het veel zwakke punten, daarom kwam er ook een opvolger de JLTV die een betere bescherming biedt aan de passagiers, die nu ook door AM General gebouwd gaat worden.

Maar deze HMMWV worden waarschijnlijk nooit aan het front gebruikt maar alleen rondom de HIMARS die ver van het front staat. De matige bescherming tegen IED's in dit geval maakt dus niks uit.

1. Ik ken battle assesments van de humvee en die spreken je gehele post tegen. Zowel van de Amerikanen als de Oekrainers.

2. De oorlog waar we ons op voorbereiden staat evenver af van een conflict a la irak als een wasbeer en een olifant. De humvee was en is helemaal nooit bedoelt voor een conflict in Irak. ied's al helemaal niet.

3. Een humvee is naar gelang opdracht uit te rusten met additionele bescherming.

4. Deze humvee's worden geen frontlijn voertuigen. Maar dat kan prima, zoals hij is bedoelt in zijn ontwerp.

Nee er is voor de VS niks mis met de HMMV's, maar ik zie ze niet binnen onze KL opereren als vreemde eendjes. Het zal een logistieke nachtmerrie zijn om die 17 voertuigen te ondersteunen, terwijl je het werk ook door een manticore of ander voertuig kan laten uitvoeren. Datzelfde gaat ook op voor de logistieke voertuigen maar het voordeel daarbij is is dat ook de HIMARS hetzelfde vrachtwagen chassis gebruikt. Maar daarvan zouden we volgens de FMS info naast de 20x M142 HIMARS ook nog eens een onbekend aantal M1084A2 cargo trucks, Resupply Vehicles & M1089A2 wrecker truck ontvangen. Waardoor het aantal vrachtwagen chassis op een 30 a 40 voertuigen uitkomt, nog steeds weinig maar veel meer dan dat handje vol hummers.

Nee even naar de logica. Die voertuigen van HIMARS en ondersteunend zijn amerikaans. Dat betekent amerikaans gereedschap, mehanica, en delen vast veel dezelfde onderdelen met de Humvee. Al helemaal slijtage onderdelen en bouten, moeren etc. Het is dan makkelijker om een humvee te rijden als ost vtg dan met een vreemde manticore.

Nederland koopt mogelijk Himars raketsystemen van Amerika

https://nos.nl/artikel/2464108-nederland-koopt-mogelijk-himars-raketsystemen-van-amerika

Leuk dat we ze kopen, maar gaan we ze zelf gebruiken of gaan ze direct door als gift naar Oekra?ne? En dan zelf aansluiten bij Duitsland voor IRIS-T?

Ach die FMTV trucks snap ik wel, A2 variant zelfs; dus met de neus . De FMTV takeldozen die ze mee bestellen kan ik ook nog wel begrijpen, zelfs de aanhangers voor de FMTV supply trucks(voor de raketjes) maar Humvee vind ik echt een vreemde eend in de bijt, logistiek optuigen voor 17 wagentjes.
We kopen een compleet HIMARS systeem. Want gezien de Russische dreiging, waar wij te laat op reageren, is een zo kort mogelijke levertijd van zeer groot belang.
Dus geen tijd en wat pecunia te verliezen om Amerikaanse communicatie en navigatie apparatuur in te bouwen in Europese voertuigen.

De Yanks sleutelen hun wapen systemen in elkaar met Inch maatvoering.  Dus de gereedschappen die werken in FMTV trucks, passen ook in de Humvee's.
Het is geen ingewikkeld voertuig.
Er rijden al heel wat Humvee's rond in Europa.  Veel van de US Army, maar daarnaast hebben Spanje, Portugal, Denemarken, Noorwegen; alle Oost-Europese landen inclusief Oekraine en Griekenland de Humvee in dienst.
De Nederlandse bedrijven die zorg dragen voor zwaar onderhoud, reparatie en overhaling (revisie) van de Bushmasters MRAP, in feite een verzameling van Amerikaanse vrachtwagen onderdelen in een gepantserde concon, kunnen dat ook doen voor de Humvee's en FMTV's.  De GM, Caterpillar C7 en Cummins 6,7 liter motoren, plus transmissie en assen toegepast in de diverse Humvee varianten, zijn ook voor andere Nederlandse en Europese bedrijven al bekenden.

De Humvee heeft excellente off-road mobiliteit.  Heeft een flinke bodem-vrijheid.  Maar toch is het Humvee niet top hoog en top zwaar.  Want het ladder-frame is smal.  Zodat de bemanning niet op dit ladder frame zit. Maar daarnaast, met chassis en drivetrain in een brede tunnel, de chauffeur en bijrijder kunnen elkaar aanraken, als ze beiden hun armen strekken.  De bovenkant van deze midden tunnel, gemaakt van zeer hard staal, reikt tot borst hoogte.  Ervaringen laten zien dat Humvee bemanningen inkomend indirect vuur hierdoor wisten te overleven, omdat zij tussen en naast dit ladder frame zitten.
Dus de Humvee is de juiste keuze voor Himars ploegen.

De Landmacht heeft al een flink aantal jaren behoefte aan een wapensysteem, dat zeker 300 km in de diepte doelen kan bestrijden.  Om zodoende de Russische Acces Denial / Anti Acces strategie te kunnen counteren.  Eigen behoefte, dus voor eigen gebruik.

Reken daarbij de kosten van 2005 studie 78 miljoen voor aanpassen van 4 LCF's. Toen was er 21 miljoen begroot voor de verwerving van TACTOM's a 700.000 per stuk inclusief Integrated Logistic Service (ILS). Daarnaast zat er 10 miljoen reserve in het project , alles bij elkaar 109 miljoen begroot.

Met inflatie kom je nu uit (2023) op 123 miljoen voor de aanpassingen, 33 miljoen voor de TACTOM's & 16 miljoen reserve, totaal 172 miljoen.

De $ 895 miljoen USD is 832 miljoen euro omgerekend, haal hier 135 miljoen voor aanpassingen vanaf ( 2005 bedrag, inflatie + extra kosten) dan houd je nog een kleine 700 miljoen euro over voor de verwerving van 200 tomahawks. Als we alle LCF's willen voorzien van 24 Tomahawks + 20% reserve kom je uit op 115 stuks. Dit zou ruim moeten lukken met de 1 a 2,5 miljard, al verwacht ik de begroting meer bij de 1 miljard dan naar de 2,5 miljard.

200 lijkt mij een minimaal aantal om effectieve inzet te kunnen doen. Het betekend zeker niet dat je 200 doelen kunt aangrijpen.

Zeker als beoogde plannen doorgaan voor 4 'missile trucks' met elk 48 cellen.

Het gaat niet om het vullen van VLS'en.
Je wil een bepaald effect kunnen bereiken. Dat is een afweging tussen allerhande beperkingen. Deployment is daar een van.
Je kunt nog steeds een bepaalde loadout kiezen voor een LCF.

Je kunt kijken naar het gebruik van dergelijke missiles in het verleden. Kan best zijn dat er een hoog verbruik aan die dingen zit.

Nee maar het aantal 24 is gebaseerd op plannen uit de studie 2005. Daar nam men op 40 cellen 24 tomahawks mee voor maritime strike role. Op basis daarvan heb ik nu gerekend met 24x 4 + 20% reserve.

Ik ben sowieso van mening dat de 2 te moderniseren LCF voorzien moeten worden van de 8 extra cellen. De andere 2 zou ik zo laten.

1. Wel nodig, maar niet perse voor NL.

2. Omdat Duitsland een stuk groter is heeft een stuk meer verantwoordelijkheid. Het is een capaciteit die zij wel kunnen dragen en wij niet zo goed. Naar verhouding heel duur en effect aardig klein. 2 volledig gemechaniseerde brigades zijn verstandiger voor ons.

Ah, naar aanleiding van je opmerking heb ik ze even gegoogled en er gaan dus 8 missile cannisters in 1 module. Dat wist ik niet en dat maakt nogal een verschil.

Inderdaad, we kopen 8 VLS modules met ieder 8 cellen waar we dan een quadpacked ESSM ( 4 stuks in 1 cel) of 1 grotere raket (o.a. SM-2, Tomahawk).

4 modules voor Nederland & 4 modules voor Belgie.

Een mooi en duidelijk voorbeeld is te zien op de foto's hieronder. Op de eerste foto zien we een Mk41 VLS module met 8 cellen op een van de Noorse Nansen klasse fregatten. En op de tweede foto zien we een tweetal modules (16 cellen) ook weer op een Nansen fregat. De VLS op de tweede foto is ook wat het ASWF gaat krijgen.

De AIM-120D is het topmodel van alle AIM-120 varianten. Op papier is het de concurrent van de Meteor. Op termijn zal de AIM-260 de AIM-120 aanvullen en/of vervangen.

Integratie van de Meteor op de F-35B (RAF/RN FAA) en misschien de F-35A is afhankelijk van de Block 4 upgrade.

Ik weet ook zeker, en ik blijf erbij, dat die 'afzwaaier' van een zogenaamde Oekrainsche luchtverdedigingsraket geen Oekrainsche raket was maar een Russische. En dat Polen voor de goede vreden opgedwongen is zijn mond te houden zodat er geen escalatie zou ontstaan, of hoeft te worden gereageerd

Begrijp die Polen wel want de laatste  keer dat ze aangevallen zijn door de Duitsers en Russen heeft het 50 jaar geduurd voordat ze weer min of meer baas in eigen huis waren en idd wij leren niet van het verleden want het is niet de eerste keer dat volken die oorlog afzweren van een koude kermis thuis komen.

Ik ben het volledig met je eens, maar ik verwacht dat we er veel minder zullen aanschaffen. Het originele plan lag rond de 30 raketten maar dit was enkel voor de 4 LCF's. Ik ga uit van een aanschaf van +/- 100 Tomahawk raketten voor de KM in de toekomst( LCF/vLCF/vWalrus).

Ja het is weinig, maar vergeet ook niet we zijn maar Nederland en gigantische voorraden doen we bijna niet aan op dit gebied. In de studie uit 2005 ging men uit van 8/16 of 24 Tomahawks per LCF afhankelijk van de missie, dit was dan wel op basis van de 40 cells mk41 die aan boord zijn geplaatst. Het kan dus zo zijn dat het FUAD / AWWF straks meer cellen krijgt en er dus ook meer tomahawks meegenomen (kunnen) gaan worden. 32 stuks is wel wat er ''standaard'' op een USN destroyer meegedragen word maar die dingen hebben ook 96 VLS cellen aan boord.

Maar als we uitgaan van 24 wapens op een onderzeeboot in buizen en opslag dan zal het aantal hier nooit hoger liggen dan 16 stuks maar is 8 stuks veel logischer.

Een 200 tomahawks zou de KM de ruimte geven om alle FUAD en onderzeeboten uit te rusten met 32 / 16 tomahawks + een 40 tal reserve raketten te hebben. Wat mij betreft een prima aantal maar door het prijskaartje heb ik zo mijn twijfels over dit aantal.

Tomahawks zijn strategische wapens. Dus of je er nu 30 of 300 hebt, denk je dat we die capaciteit zouden opgeven in het eerste uur? Dan zit je echt in een koude oorlog startblokken scenario, waarin elke ehd zijn specifieke coordinaten heeft gekregen.

NL is (op termijn) het 3e NAVO land met deze strategische capaciteit en indien inzet vereist is, dan zal de situatie een hoeveelheid bepalen.

Ik denk zeker niet dat we op dag 1 of in uur 1 al ons kruit zullen verschieten, maar als je alle capabele eenheden een minimum van 8 TACTOMs geeft, dan spreek je nog over 96 exemplaren.

Of deze 12 eenheden gelijktijdig inzetbaar zijn, is dan weer een andere vraag, maar bij een 50% inzetbaarheid zouden 16 TACTOMs per eenheid ook nog steeds geen schokkend hoog aantal zijn.

Bwhaha hou toch op. Je bedoelt hetzelfde leger wat de Taliban heeft betaald om met rust gelaten te worden in Afghanistan en naar Oekraine uitblinkt in oude niet bruikbare zooiz en een reputatie als krijgsmacht heeft die in overal niet uitblinkt, en om het over operationele en materiele gereedheid maar niet te hebben.

THE NETHERLANDS – HELLFIRE MISSILES

WASHINGTON, February 2, 2024 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Netherlands of Hellfire Missiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of $150 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of the Netherlands has requested to buy up to three hundred eighty-six (386) Hellfire Air-to-Ground Missiles, AGM-114R2. Also included is U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) technical assistance; Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions (TAGM) Project Office technical assistance; non-standard books, publications, and other Hellfire publications; integration support; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $150 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.

The proposed sale will improve the Netherlands' capability to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional threats. This will contribute to its military goals of updating capability while further enhancing interoperability with the United States and other allies. The Netherlands will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, FL. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor(s).

Implementation of this proposed sale will require U.S. Government or contractor representatives to travel to the Netherlands for program management reviews to support the program.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.
