Hanhwa Systems Sea Ghost USV
Sea Ghost USV
Hanwha Systems displayed its manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) solution for the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN) at the MADEX 2023 exhibition in Busan, which concluded on 9 June. The concept features two types of unmanned surface vessel (USV) platforms – the Sea Ghost and the M-Searcher.
The Sea Ghost USV has a length of 12 m and a width of 3.5 m. This vessel is powered by two engines using hybrid propulsion, with two water-jets enabling a cruise speed of 20 kt and a maximum speed of 40 kt.
The Sea Ghost has been fitted with a navigation radar, a wave radar, and an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor. For communications, it uses an electronically steerable satellite communications (satcom) antenna fixed on a mast and linked to a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite and an underwater acoustic system in the stern.
The USV, which can be operated in manned or unmanned mode, is fitted with one 12.7 mm K9 machine gun at the front and carries a synthetic aperture sonar autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a multibeam echosounder at the back for search-and-rescue (SAR) operations. It has an endurance of 12 hours at 20 kt and a range of 240 nm.
The M-Searcher USV is an unmanned platform, with a length of 8 m and a width of 2.7 m. The USV is powered by one diesel engine with water-jet propulsion, providing a maximum speed of 35 kt and an endurance of 12 hours.

Last post by Benji87 - 22/04/2024 | 14:26 uurUpdate: Ukraine's Navy confirms Russian ship Kommuna hit in Sevastopol
Russia's Kommuna salvage ship in a picture dated July 18, 2009.
Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Navy, told the Liga media outlet on April 21 that the navy had struck a ship in occupied Sevastopol and confirmed that it was the Kommuna, a salvage ship. The extent of the damage to the ship is unclear at the time of this publication.
Earlier in the day, the Russian proxy official Mikhail Razvozhayev claimed an anti-ship missile had been "repelled" in occupied Sevastopol and that "fragments caused a small fire, which was quickly extinguished.
Unverified video posted to social media appeared to show a Russian naval vessel on fire and local media reported the Crimea bridge had been closed.
The Kommuna was launched in 1915 and is the oldest ship still in service in the Russian Navy.
Sevastopol is home to Russia's Black Sea Fleet and is frequently targeted by Ukrainian missile and sea drone strikes.
Pletenchuk said on March 30 that Russia had withdrawn nearly all its major ships from ports in occupied Crimea following successful Ukrainian strikes.
To prevent further Ukrainian drone strikes on the Black Sea fleet, Russian forces in occupied Crimea are constructing barriers at the entrance to Sevastopol Bay, the partisan group Atesh reported on March 27.
Russia is also trying to strengthen the defense of its Novorossiysk port, where Moscow had begun redeploying its Black Sea fleet from Sevastopol last year, the U.K. Defense Ministry said in its daily update on March 31

Last post by Umbert - 22/04/2024 | 14:10 uurCitaat van: Sparkplug op 22/04/2024 | 10:36 uurZo'n visie moet wel aansluiten op de mogelijkheden van vlb. Woensdrecht (EHWO). Is daar werkelijk ruimte voor alle KCT wensen en mag dat daar worden uitgevoerd. En één van de belangrijkste vragen is wat KCT zelf van EHWO als locatie vindt.Mag aannemen dat er in het ontwerp van de nieuwe kazerne rekening wordt gehouden met de specifieke wensen van het KCT en er dus ook landingpads komen voor heli's voorzien zijn, Vooral als ze grotere toestellen voor hun operaties nodig zijn. is het volgens mij ook voor die toestellen beter als ze van thuisbasis vertrekken ipv een ander veld, scheelt toch weer een start/landing beweging. En vooral valt minder op.
En qua tijd zal het misschien zelfs nog sneller zijn als ze per heli vertrekken naar deze velden.

Last post by Harald - 22/04/2024 | 11:12 uurHypervelocity Projectile (HVP)
In this video interview recorded at Sea Air Space 2024, Tate Westbrook from BAE Systems takes us through the latest developments with the Hypervelocity Projectile (HVP). The program, which began in collaboration with the US Navy and ONR back in 2012, continues to progress.
HVP Overview:
The HVP is a next-generation, common, low-drag, guided projectile designed to enhance the lethality and performance of various gun systems.
It's adaptable for multiple platforms, including the Navy 5-Inch, Army and Marine Corps 155-mm systems, and even future electromagnetic (EM) railguns.
Mission Capabilities:
The HVP's aerodynamic design minimizes drag, allowing for high velocity and maneuverability. This translates to decreased time-to-target and effective performance against current threats.
Depending on the gun system and platform, the HVP can perform missions ranging from Naval Surface Fire to Cruise and Ballistic Missile Defense, as well as Anti-Surface Warfare and other future Naval mission areas.
Compact Design and Safety:
The HVP's compact design eliminates the need for a rocket motor to extend gun range.
Smaller, more accurate rounds reduce collateral damage risk and enable deeper magazines, enhancing shipboard safety.
Latest Advancements:
BAE Systems has introduced the XM1155-SC, the latest precision-guided munition in the HVP family. This highly lethal projectile is designed to defeat fixed and moving targets in contested environments with a short time-of-flight and exceptional maneuverability.
Recent tests have demonstrated its effectiveness at more than double the range of existing cannon-launched precision guided munitions.

Last post by Harald - 22/04/2024 | 10:44 uurJFD to deploy Carrier Seal in Tampa, looking to break into US market (ook voor onze Mariniers Marsof interessant !! )
UK underwater operations specialist JFD is looking to extend its market recognition among the special operations forces (SOF) community, especially with its range of tactical diving vehicles (TDVs), with attendance at the SOF Week event in downtown Tampa, Florida, from 6-10 May 2024.
JFD will be taking both its Carrier Seal and Shadow Seal TDVs to the SOF Week event, but will additionally be demonstrating the Carrier Seal in waters close to the SOF Week location in Tampa after the event closes. The Shadow Seal, meanwhile, was first exhibited at the SOF Week event in May 2023.
Speaking to ESD on 16 April 2024, Alistair Wilson, JFD's strategy, sales and marketing director, also noted that the company is in the final stages of onboarding the Carrier Seal TDV with the US Department of Defense's Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) programme, which is designed to test platforms and technologies of US allies that have a high technology readiness level with a view to rapidly and economically address US defence requirements.
"We bid [for FCT] in December," said Wilson, "and by the end of this month they've got to kind of finalise their position."
The company established JFD North America, based in Reston, Virginia, in March 2021 to bring its portfolio to the US defence market and in October 2023 appointed Keith Lehnhardt as its general manager in the United States. Lehnhardt has a 35-year career with the US Navy behind him that includes the kind of experience, with diving units and on submarine operations, that covers the spectrum of JFD's portfolio.
Meanwhile, in March 2022 JFD signed a strategic partnership with Fort Lauderdale-based Blue Tide Marine (BTM), which acquired a JFD Shadow Seal four-man TDV through a leasing arrangement in 2023. BTM's business model revolves around selling capability development training, while JFD would essentially be the platform provider for any TDV-related business that BTM picks up. The BTM relationship thus raises the profile of JFD's Shadow Seal TDV, with Wilson noting that "the Blue Tide Marine folks have got exposure to all the right people".
Explaining one of the key selling points of its TDVs, beyond their ability to approach a hostile shore submerged and undetected, Wilson explained that, while minisubs like the Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) used by US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) require a high-value submarine to approach a hostile coast for them to be deployed, JFD's TDVs can be deployed from a significant stand-off range. The eight-man Carrier Seal, for example, has a typical surface range of 150 n miles (278 km) in addition to its 14 n mile subsurface range, but Wilson noted that, by carrying extra fuel bags in place of two personnel, its range can be extended out to 225 n miles.
JFD TDVs can also be transported innocuously in standard ISO containers and deployed from any marine vessel that has the equipment to launch them.
JFD is also looking into the possibility of its TDVs being operated autonomously. Wilson noted that the company has already remotely operated a Shadow Seal and has a roadmap for autonomous operations with the Carrier Seal. He explained a concept whereby a marine commando raiding party, once deployed using TDVs, could then be resupplied by autonomous/remotely operated TDVs.
Wilson additionally mentioned that the company's TDVs could quite easily be converted to carry a range of different payloads beyond combat swimmers, such as various sensors or other effectors.
In terms of TDV sales opportunities, Wilson noted that there are two Carrier Seals in service – one in Europe and one in Asia – with interest in its TDVs currently coming from Greece, Sweden, Japan and the Indo-Pacific region in general. A particular potential opportunity is with South Korea, which is developing a requirement for a 'Special Assault Boat'. This concept involves five 'motherships' each carrying four Carrier Seal-type TDVs, giving a requirement for 20 such vessels.
"We expect to that to be ratified as a programme by the end of this year," said Wilson.
Regarding JFD's prospects for selling its TDVs, Wilson remarked, "We're nearly there; I'd be really surprised if we don't break good ground within the next 12 months."
Looking beyond TDVs, JFD is also examining potential opportunities within the trilateral Australian-UK-US (AUKUS) strategic partnership, under which the UK Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) will operate a future fleet of SSN-AUKUS nuclear-powered attack submarines. JFD is looking in particular at opportunities under Pillar 2 of the AUKUS partnership, which includes among other things the development of advanced undersea capabilities. As a world leader in the provision of submarine rescue services, JFD is already the incumbent supplier of such services for the RN and RAN, so is well positioned to provide a future solution for the SSN-AUKUS boats as well as other advanced underwater warfare capabilities.
Among its other products and services, JFD continues to pursue further opportunities with its range of military diving equipment.
The company did, in fact win a US contract to provide a new deep-diving rebreather to replace the Mk 16 system for mine countermeasures operations, although this contract has been protested four times by competitor Avon Protection.
Meanwhile, JFD is currently competing to address the US Naval Sea Systems Command's Multi-Mission Underwater Breathing Apparatus (MMUBA) requirement to provide a closed-circuit, mixed-gas diving system for a variety of military diving operations in both deep and shallow water. This contract is for 675 rebreathers, which Wilson noted is "as many rebreathers as we've sold in 20 years of that type".

Last post by Benji87 - 22/04/2024 | 10:43 uurCitaat van: Lynxian op 22/04/2024 | 10:23 uurIk zei dat Putin dat zou denken en daarop acteren. Ik weet dat de Amerikanen daar juist wel op ingericht zijn. En ja, Russische militaire planners weten dit ook wel, maar de oorlog in Oekraïne laat zien dat daar niet altijd naar wordt geluisterd door Putin. (Of ze zijn echt vreselijk incompetent.)
Het is omgekeerd anders net zo erg, misschien nog wel erger. Rusland is al helemaal niet in staat om ook nog eens gedonder op hun oost flank te gebruiken. Ze lopen zich aardig stuk op Oekraïne momenteel, in het huidige tempo zal ze in 2-3 jaar militair niet meer in staat zijn om überhaupt nog oorlog te voeren.
Dat niet alleen maar de diplomatieke banden met China zijn nou ook niet zo sterk dat hier gesproken kan worden van een effectieve militaire samenwerking. Ja de landen oefenen weleens met elkaar en er vindt handel plaats maar China heeft zich ook vaak zat afzijdig gehouden tov Rusland haar houding in Oekraïne. Ze hebben Rusland zelfs al een paar keer terug gefloten om hun agressieve houding met de inzet van nucleaire wapens.
Voor China geldt dat net zo. In hoeverre gaat Rusland hun ten hulp schieten als ze Taiwan binnen vallen? Doen ze dat überhaupt wel? Bovendien heeft China ook meerdere balletjes hoog te houden in de regio. Taiwan binnen vallen is een ding maar de zuid Chinese zee en het grens dispuut met India komen dan ineens ook onder druk te staan. Ook China haar handelspositie als een vrij kwetsbare economie zal klappen krijgen. Het innemen van Taiwan zal met een enorm hoge prijs moeten worden betaald. Ik vraag me af of ze bereid zijn die prijs te betalen

The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) is helping the Luftwaffe prepare for its upcoming Chinook heavy-lift helicopter capability, dispatching one of its own helicopters to the type's future operating station in mid-April.
The Bundeswehr said on 18 April that an RNLAF CH-47F Block 1 Chinook landed for the first time at Holzdorf Air Base (also known as Schönewalde), south of Berlin, to help the Luftwaffe prepare for the arrival of the first of its CH-47F Block II Chinook Standard Range (SR) air-to-air refuelling (AAR)-capable heavy-lift helicopters from 2027 to 2032.
"With the future stationing of the CH-47, Holzdorf Air Base will become a hub for helicopter transport. The [Luftwaffe] is gaining initial experience with the Chinook transport helicopter with its Dutch allies – in flight operations, refuelling, and training," the Bundeswehr said.
Holzdorf Air Base is currently the main operating base for the Luftwaffe's fleet of 70 VFW-Sikorsky CH-53G-series Stallion helicopters that are to be replaced by 60 Chinooks under the Schwerer Transporthubschrauber (STH) requirement.
