New coastal command patrol boat with increased capability delivered to US Navy

 

The 65 foot, 50-ton boat was built in Bremerton and Tacoma, Wash., and expands the capabilities of the Navy with its flexibility.

"This boat helps bridge the gap between the large ship navy and the near-coastal assets," said Senior Enlisted Advisor, Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Manning, assigned to Coastal Riverine Group 1 (CRG-1).

The CCB has increased capability amongst existing Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) craft including 24-hour mission capability, ergonomic equipment design, both remote and crew-served weapon systems, and a robust communications suite.

 

The new class of coastal command patrol boats is based on the future US Navy Mark VI patrol boat currently being built by Safe Boats International. 5 MK VI boats have been ordered by the US Navy.

Je ne crois pas avoir vu ça ici: le nouveau SM-6 peut engager des cibles sur désignation d'un E2-D. C'est un SM-2 avec un autodirecteur d'AMRAAM.

Précision utile, en effet.

Le sm-6 est le remplaçant du sm-2. C'est un peu l'équivalent de notre aster 30, c-a-d qu'il est conçu pour des interceptions endo-athmosphérique, de missile de croisière ou de missile balistique en phase terminale.

Rien à voir avec la classe des sm-3 destinés aux interceptions de missiles balistiques en mid-course phase.

Elle doit pas être très récente cette photo car il me semble que plus aucun Tomcat n'est en état de voler (pour éviter toute livraison de pièces détachées à l'Iran).

Effectivement, et ce depuis pas mal d'année maintenant.

Mise en service du sous-marin américain USS Minnesota

Livré le 6 juin par Huntington Ingalls Industries, l’USS Minnesota a été officiellement mis en service samedi, au cours d’une cérémonie à Norfolk. Il s’agit du dixième sous-marin nucléaire d’attaque du type Virginia. Construit en 63 mois à Newport News, le SSN 783 est le dernier SNA de la série Block II (les quatre premiers forment le Block I, les six suivants le Block II et les six prochains le Block III).

Longs de 114.9 mètres et présentant un déplacement de 7800 tonnes en surface, les Virgina peuvent atteindre la vitesse de 34 nœuds. Armés par un équipage de 134 hommes, ces bâtiments à propulsion nucléaire sont dotés de 12 cellules pour missiles de croisière Tomahawk, ainsi que quatre tubes lance torpilles de 533mm (capacité de 28 torpilles lourdes Mk 48).

Remplaçant les SNA du type Los Angeles, les Virginia doivent être réalisés à 30 exemplaires. HII et General Dynamics se partagent leur construction.

LOCKHEED MARTIN VALIDE LE PREMIER ESSAI DU LRASM

Le Long Range Anti-Ship Missile est développé par la DARPA ainsi que l’ Office of Naval Research.

Le futur missile anti-navire de l’US Navy et de l’US Air Force a passé avec succès une étape, a annoncé la firme américaine hier. Développé conjointement par la DARPA, l’Office of Naval Research et l’industriel américain Lockheed Martin, un premier test grandeur nature a été réalisé depuis un B-1B pour le LRASM. L’appareil de l’US Air Force mobilisé appartenait au 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron, dédié à ces missions d’évaluation.

D’après Lockheed Martin, « le LRASM a survolé avec succès tous ses points de passage, validant l’évaluation de plusieurs systèmes de guidage automatique et de senseurs multimodales intégrés ». Lors de son approche finale, le missile a correctement effectué son passage en vol à très basse altitude et a atteint sa cible.

Les composants du LRASM s’inspirent largement du missile de croisière JASSM. Après avoir remporté le contrat en 2009, Lockheed Martin doit prochainement faire subir d’autres phases de tests à son démonstrateur.

Growler Gets Down With The Internet

September 18, 2013: Four years after entering squadron service, the U.S. Navy's EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft is being upgraded with a communications technology that allows the EA-18G to share data instantly with other EA-18Gs and other types of aircraft (combat and support, like E-2 and E-3 AWACS). The new capability is JTIDS (Joint Tactical Information Data System). Development (by the U.S. Air Force) of this system began 30 years ago and mature examples of the technology only began showing up in the last decade. JTIDS is a datalink that gives the pilot complete and real-time situation report, showing what other pilots (and planes like the E-3) are seeing.

Pilots who tested JTIDS reported drastic increases in their situational awareness (a “sense of where you are”). For example, during combat training exercises pilots with JTIDS had a 4-to-1 kill ratio in their favor against pilots without JTIDS. Noting results like this the navy is adopting JTIDS not only to improve the capabilities of its own aircraft but also to improve data sharing with air force warplanes, which often carry out joint operations with the navy. JTIDs is just one of several new technologies navy aircraft will need to get their “combat Internet” working.

While a great idea in theory, the “combat Internet” has proved difficult to implement because of the need to make these digital data transfers robust enough to survive jamming and enemy efforts to eavesdrop. The required tech has gotten light, powerful and cheap enough for this in the last decade and now it’s just a matter of installing and testing it for the major types of combat and support aircraft. The air force is ahead of the navy in this respect but the navy is catching up, despite the recent budget cuts. Even with that most naval aircraft won’t be equipped with this data sharing technology until the end of the decade.

JTIDS was first tested on the EA-18G because this navy aircraft was designed to support navy and air force warplanes in combat. EA-18G saw combat for the first time over Libya in 2011. The EA-18G is equipped with the ALQ-99 radar jamming pod and an APG-79 phased array (AESA) radar, which also has some jamming capability (via the right software) as well as the ability to fry electronics. It was suggested that the EA-18G might have done this to some Libyan armored vehicles.

The EA-18Gs are replacing the aging navy EA-6Bs that now provide electronic protection against enemy radars and missiles for navy and air force aircraft. The air force retired their EF-111 electronic warfare aircraft in 1998, on the assurance that the navy would get the EA-18G into service before the EA-6Bs died of old age. The older 27 ton EA-6B carries a crew of four, while the highly automated 29 ton EA-18G will have only two people on board. The EA-18G carries up to five electronic warfare pods, plus two AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and two anti-radiation (HARM) missiles. It may be the last manned aircraft to handle the EW job. UAVs are becoming more capable, and will eventually take over this dangerous task.

In 2007, the navy received its first operational (as opposed to developmental) EA-18G. The navy has received 52 EA-18Gs (by the end of 2013), and another 30 will come after that (at the rate of about five a year). The U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps are planning on developing an electronic warfare version of the new F-35, or use a UAV, if the EA-18Gs are not plentiful, or powerful enough to provide all the electronic protection needed in future wars.

Despite the high expense all the electronic gear, the F-18G is not the most expensive combat aircraft out there. The F-22 costs $355 million each. The low budget F-18E costs $94 million each, while the F-18G goes for $105 million. The F-35 costs over $130 million (and growing). Even unmanned aircraft are pricy, with the Global Hawk costing $182 million each (with high end sensors). Older fighters, like the F-16, cost $60 million, and an F-15E goes for about $100 million. These prices constantly fluctuate because of the need to incorporate a share of the development cost for each aircraft built. While most development expense occurs before mass production begins, there is sometimes considerable additional development expense, or major refurbishment, later in the lifetime of an aircraft. Many modern warplanes cost more than most warships, and have the same high maintenance (periodic refurbishment and development of new components) expenses.

The B-1B Lancer may have made its name supporting ground troops and destroying land-based targets, but the Air Force is now developing tactics for using the aircraft over the ocean. A B-1B Lancer from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, alongside other bomber and fighter aircraft, participated in a maritime tactics development and evaluation Sept. 4 with the goal of improving and better understanding the aircraft's capabilities in the new environment.

"Many of the dynamic targeting skills we've refined over the past decade on land are directly applicable in the maritime environment," said Capt. Alicia Datzman, chief of weapons and tactics for the 337th Test and Evaluations Squadron at Dyess. . "This is the perfect opportunity to validate and refine these tactics."

 During the evaluations, the B-1 dropped a total of six munitions to include a laser-guided, 500-pound bomb GBU-54, as well as 500 and 2,000-pound joint direct attack munitions.
