Congratulations  =) This is an amazing choice.

[winloose]

de si beaux navires et mettre des stovl dessus

what a shame  :-[

[SpongeBob]

A relativiser.

La honte ne serait-ce pas qu'un pays ait filé 200 millions et des poussières à un autre pays pour rien?

Avec ce genre de propos, il ne faut pas s'étonner de se voir remettre en place par notre ami Rob! Et à forte raison d'ailleur!

Ca s'appelle tendre le baton pour se faire battre!!! (faut bien admettre que la honte est bien de notre coté, car même si ils n'embarquent "que" des SVTOL, eux ils auront une permanence à la mer!!! Et la je ne parle même pas des Fremms!!! :-[)

Autre chose?

[Will]

Congratulations  =) This is an amazing choice.

Merci Phil  ;) Ceci est au moins une bonne nouvelle, j espere seulement que maintenant Gordon Clown et les suivants vont donne les ressources suffisant pour defendre ces bateaux et les laisser faire leurs missions.

Sur les images que tu as mis Rob on aperçoit des systèmes Phalanx et des canons de 30mm pour assurer la défense rapprochée du CVF. Est-ce qu'ils auront aussi des missiles Aster (15 ou 30) ?

En tous cas le fait que la commande soit signée, sécurisée est une excellente nouvelle pour la Royal Navy et l'alliance BAE-VT. Soyons "Fair-Play" et disons franchement que nos voisins doutre-manche va de l'avant, "They're looking and better going (or sould I say "sailing" ?) forward" =|

[Invité Rob]

Malhereusement, pas d'Aster pour CVF. Mais 6 T45s.  =) La veritie est que nous ne pouvons pas payer pour des missiles sur CVF. Mais heuresement 6 T45 sont assez pour les deux CVFs.

Le prix, j'ai lu est au moins 3.2 milliards livres et au maximum 3.9 milliards livres. Si BVT fait des chooses moins chers que 3.9 milliards BVT et le MoD "share" l'argent entre 3.9 et X Milliards livres.

Exemple: les deux CVFs coutent en fin 3.4 milliards livres ---> 3.9 - 3.4 = 0.5 milliards

--> environ 0.4 milliards au MoD

--> environ 0.1 milliards au BVT

Pareillement, je suis bien content ,pour vous, ça va etre de jolis outils !!!!

je suis plus dubitatif, sur les moyens aériens (voilure fixe).

Comme quoi, n'en déplaise à certain, ils en ont construit une paire de porte-avions les Anglois!!!

PS: d'autre articles sur différent PA ont aussi été fait par le même forumeur...

2 PA tout neufs ... Je suis jaloux !!!

Félicitations à nos amis anglais qui se donnent les moyens de leurs ambitions.

Leurs dirigeants semblent plus conscients des réalités du monde d'aujourd'hui.

Pour tout savoir sur la formation des Royal Marines.

Sur ce lien on peut suivre la progression d'une "troop" en formation, tout le long des 32 sémaines de formation.  J'aime bien leur système de progression.

BAE Systems a donne un update sur le Sea Wolf modernisation.

Seawolf Mid-Life Update

13 Jul 2008

The threats warships face from missile attack were horrifically illustrated during the Falkland War, with the smoke pouring from HMS Sheffield after she was struck by an Exocet missile remaining one of the defining images of the conflict.

In the years since then, the danger to ships has grown even greater, with new projectiles that travel faster, at a lower altitude and which even have the ability to undertake evasive manoeuvres.

To counter this threat, BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies is delivering the £300m Seawolf Mid-Life Update (SWMLU) programme that will provide the Royal Navy’s Type 22 and Type 23 frigates with the world’s most capable ship self defence system. SWMLU has just been installed on HMS Sutherland, the first of 17 frigates that will receive it.

Captain Brian Archibald, SHORAD IPT leader, reinforced the improvement that the upgraded system will bring about: “This upgrade will greatly enhance the operational capability of our frigates by enabling them to defend against the latest missiles. Its performance represents the tremendous advances in technology since the original system was installed.”

Stephen Hall, SWMLU System Design Authority, said the new system was able to detect at long range, track and destroy an object the size of a cricket ball travelling at twice the speed of sound. SWMLU builds upon the existing Seawolf Point Defence Missile System that has been in service with the Royal Navy since 1979. However, Stephen said that to meet existing and predicted threats through to 2025 and beyond, the project had taken Seawolf back “almost to a clean sheet of paper”.

At the heart of SWMLU’s capability is an advanced sensor suite especially developed by Insyte, featuring radar and thermal imaging. Stephen said that for the I band radar system, the only thing retained from the original Seawolf was the antenna. “All of the above and below decks electronics, such as the receiver, the signal processor, the transmitter and the synthesiser are all brand new developments,” he said.

The specially developed thermal imaging sensor uses long-wave infrared and features a very high resolution camera. “Behind the camera are image processing functions and their task is to detect the thermal signature of the incoming missile,” Stephen said. “We track that automatically and then send out generally two Seawolf missiles to counter it, and the system also tracks their thermal signatures and remotely controls the missile along the sight line to the target. There is no operator intervention at all.”

As well as dramatically increasing the capability of the ships to defend themselves, he said SWMLU would also make through-life maintenance for Seawolf much easier and more efficient. “For example, the main interface the maintainer has with the old equipment is through a teletype machine. We have replaced that with a very modern computer interface and we have replaced a lot of analogue circuitry with digital circuitry, which can be used by much more advanced testing equipment to diagnose which part of the system is at fault and has to be replaced. That means the benefits will be felt throughout the life of the system, simplifying training and maintenance.” Alongside its specially developed technology, SWMLU also makes as much use as possible of off-the-shelf technology, which lowers costs, helps with de-risking and allows for ongoing support from the equipment supplier.

As well as the just-completed installation on HMS Sutherland, SWMLU has also been installed at two UK MOD onshore installations. One of the systems is at HMS Collingwood, the Maritime Warfare School’s lead establishment, and the first ten-week maintainer training course for SWMLU was completed there in December, 2007. The second shore-based installation is at the Shore Integration Facility at Portsdown Hill, where rehearsals for harbour acceptance tests and overall ship system linking have also been completed. Stephen said this kind of onshore testing considerably de-risked first of class installations.

As well as the installation of SWMLU, HMS Sutherland is undergoing a major refit and will be ready for sea trials in the fourth quarter of this year. Seawolf demonstration firing trials are scheduled for the first quarter of 2009.

Stephen said that those trials will be the first time SWMLU has been fired. “We have complete confidence it will work because every bit of equipment, including the tracking system, the naval environment, and the flight of the Seawolf missile, has been simulated and proven in a mathematical model.”

He added that the modelling had also enabled them to design the system to counter threats that did not yet exist, but which may come in the future.

Ceci sont les pré-requis  scolaires -universitaires pour pouvoir postuler en tant qu'officier des Royal Marines :

"The minimum entry requirements are five GCSEs (A-C)/five S grades (1-3) including English language and mathematics and two A levels/ three H grades. Applicants with alternative qualifications are considered on their individual merits."

Le problème est que je ne sais pas à quoi correspond :

- "five GCSEs (A-C) / five S grades (1-3)"

- "two A levels/ three H grades"

Quelqu'un connait la graduation britannique et sa correspondance française.?

[g4lly]

Et un niveau seconde pour le GCSE.

C'est grosso modo niveau BAC pour A levels

Le GCSE c'est un exam qui se passe en seconde une sorte de super BEPC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE

Le A levels ca se passe en terminal un peu comme le Bac mais c'est beaucoup plus spécialisé y a moins de matieres.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Level_(UK)

Donc il faut plusieurs module de chaque niveau pour avoir un niveau correct avec certain module obligatoire et des note minimal ... c'est comme ca pour rentré a la fac la bas.

Les gens impliquent dans le programme FSC ont parle recemment.

Future vessels are set for early service

FUTURE SURFACE COMBATTANT (FSC) - the replacement for the navy's current frigates - is expected to be introduced earlier than originally planned.

The vessels are likely to be the most versatile surface combattants ever procured for the UK fleet. The FSC will replace Type 22 and Type 23 frigates. On current plans the ships will be optimised for anti-submarine warfare and land attack, with the first ship expected to come into service towards the end of the next decade. The news comes as the MoD announced that it did not intend to take up the option to order the 7th and 8th T45 destroyers.

"The FSC will be an extremely versatile class of warship", said Commodore Graham Peach, head of directorate Surface Combattant, within DE&S (ceux qui achetent les equipement pour le MoD), DG Ships, the team delivering the FSC.

"They will be capable of being deployed around the World to project power ashore from the sea and to enable the carrier strike and littoral manoeuvre forces to enter an operations area unhindered. It will form the backbone of the RN's surface combattant force alongside the new T45s for much of this century."

The long running project will now see a large number of equipment teams and IPTs at DE&S involved in the project.

"Current assuptions are that the FSC classes will be fitted with a medium calibre gun, a wide range of other weapons and the associated above and underwater sensors", said Lt Cdr David Roberts, the project's requirement manager.

Project manager Stuart Machin added: "concept work is being undertaken by the Naval Design Partnership. Affordability will be at the core of the FSC, working closely with the industry we must avoid over-specification, requirement changes and complicated acceptance regimes and deliver the most effective solution within the available budget."

Bringing forward the FSC programme, together with the carrier and Astute programmes, will balance workloads across maritime programmes to ensure retention of key capabilities, armed forces minister Bob Ainsworth told Parliament. He added that for a fleet of 6 T45s, one ship would usually be in deep maintenance, leaving 5 available for deployment at various states of readiness.

Donc ce que on peut apprendre:

*Apres des annes en stade concept, le projet "va au vitesse superieur" et plus de gens vont travaille dessus.

* Premier du serie entrera en service avant 2020 (normalement).

* il est parle de "classes" pour remplace T22 et T23. Je speculle que le projet pourra donne 2 classes, un ASW et un "land attack", comme les C1-C2 que a parle Robert. Je pense que un possible C3 ne va pas apparaitre pour le moment jusqu au retraite des Hunts/Sandowns apres 2020-2025.

*souhait e garde le projet "simple": quand les specs seront donne, on ne va pas revenir enleve et ajjoute des choses tous les 6 mois.
