Typhoon aircraft complete 10,000 flying hours

 

RIYADH: Rodolfo C. Estimo Jr.

Published — Sunday 13 July 2014

 

The Royal Saudi Air Force’s Typhoon aircraft completed 10,000 flying hours recently, BAE Systems Saudi Arabia PR and communications director Monther M. Tayeb told Arab News.

 

“The Typhoon aircraft’s performance is significant in the history of any fleet. Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft simultaneously providing deployable air-to-air and air-to-surface capabilities,” he said.

 

Tayeb noted that BAE Systems delivered the first two Typhoon aircrafts in the Kingdom in 2009 and form part of a fleet totaling 72 aircrafts.

 

“This agreement forms part of a strategic relationship between the governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom,” he said.

 

He said that the BAE Systems history in Saudi Arabia coincides with the start of its relationship with the Saudi government and the Royal Saudi Air Force, dating back to the early 1960s and the Lightning Aircraft.

 

This relationship has grown over the years through a series of defense pacts and long-term support arrangements according to Tayeb.

 

“This investment is part of BAE’s overall strategy that also includes extensive training and development of our Saudi employees, skills transfer from European aircraft manufacturers and the transfer of technology to allow more of the maintenance and training to take place in Saudi Arabia,” Tayeb said.

 

The BAE Systems has invested SR 18 billion over the last five years in the Kingdom and is a leading supporter of the Saudi Arabian Defense Industrialization. It also has very strong relationships with a number of Saudi partner companies.

 

These include the Advanced Electronics Company (AEC), Saudi Development and Training Company and International Systems Engineering Company.

MEPC: Maintenance in the Desert Kingdom (PDF)

On Track: Middle East Propulsion Company Expands its Product Portfolio

 

Source: MTU Aero Engines GmbH Nov 15, 2013

 

 

 

Munich, Riyadh, November 15, 2013 – The leading Saudi Arabian engine maintenance company Middle East Propulsion Company has strengthened its position as a provider of military engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for the whole of the Middle East region. Today, barely four years later after MTU’s acquisition of a 19-percent share in 2009, MEPC’s product portfolio has been continuously extended. The Middle East Propulsion Company has expanded its module maintenance work by winning contracts for the RB199, the engine powering the RSAF Tornado fleet. Furthermore the MRO capability for the PT6 engine installed on the RSAF’s Pilatus PC-9 and PC-21 training aircraft has recently been established and the company is awaiting certification approval for maintenance work on the T56 engine that powers the RSAF fleet of C-130 Hercules. This approval is expected by the first quarter of 2014. As a result the company will be in a position to offer full overhaul services for two additional turboprop engines. In addition to this expansion, MEPC has been awarded with a follow-on contract of the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW220 engines for the Boeing F15 beginning November 2013. This contract was put on tender for the first time and was won by MEPC against strong international competition. The F15 has been the backbone of the company in past years.

 

“MEPC has a dedicated as well as well-qualified and certified workforce and a highly committed management team, the perfect basis for becoming the leading provider of military maintenance services across the whole of the Middle East,” says Klaus Guenther, Senior Vice President Defense Programs, MTU Aero Engines. “The acquisition of additional programs at MEPC in less than four years represents a tremendous achievement.”

 

MEPC has ambitious goals for the future and plans to add more programs to its existing portfolio. This includes obtaining a maintenance contract from Eurojet and its partners for the EJ200 engines installed on the RSAF Eurofighter Typhoon fleet. Saudi Arabia has ordered 72 Eurofighter Typhoons, 32 of which have already been delivered, and prospects are good for a follow-on order. MTU contributes the low-pressure and high-pressure compressors and the digital engine control unit (FADEC) to the EJ200 program. Other engines targeted include the General Electric F110-229 for the F15 Fighter, T700 for the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters operated by the RSAF, and the AGT1500 tank engine built by Honeywell.

 

Middle East Propulsion Company is based in Riyadh the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is the major military engine MRO company in the Middle East. By the end of 2013, it will have a workforce of 89 employees and an annual sales volume of more than 60 million U.S. dollars. MEPC is a joint-venture.

Eurofighter Typhoon repair in Saudi Arabia

 

 

THURSDAY 17 JULY 2014

 

The Advanced Electronic Company (AEC), based in Saudi Arabia, has become the first approved Typhoon avionics repair agent outside Europe and as such is now an approved supplier to BAE Systems for 2 Avionics boxes on the RSAF’s Typhoon aircraft.

 

This is a major step forward for the defence industry in Saudi Arabia and it enables AEC and BAE Systems to further their local support arrangements to the Royal Saudi Air Force’s (RSAF) Typhoon aircraft with immediate effect.

 

As part of BAE Systems’ Industrialisation Programme the Company has been working closely with AEC and Rockwell Collins Deutschland, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), to establish indigenous repair capabilities in the Kingdom in order to provide sovereign support to the RSAF’s Typhoon fleet.

 

Over the next three years, BAE Systems Saudi Arabia and AEC, working together with other OEM’s will transfer the repair capability of a further 35 Avionic boxes to the Kingdom creating in excess of 120 highly skilled technical jobs for young Saudis.

 

At an event to celebrate this milestone Mr Andy Carr, Managing Director and CEO of BAE Systems Saudi Arabia, commented that: “Industrialisation is a cornerstone of BAE Systems’ strategy in Kingdom; success in this area very important to our customers, our partners, the Saudi community and the company. I congratulate AEC on their success in achieving this significant milestone.”

 

“AEC has shown over a long period of time that is a very capable organisation and takes a great deal of pride in what they do. It has previously worked on elements of the Tornado programme where it was the best performing supplier on the whole supply chain.”

 

Dr Ghassan Shibl CEO of AEC, added: “This is a small first step for AEC and we look forward to developing our Typhoon capability over the next few years. We are proud to be working so closely with BAE Systems and to be a part of the Typhoon family.”

Compared to the US F-15E, the F-15S has downgraded avionics, downgraded LANTIRN night viewing and targeting pods, and a simplified radar without computerized radar mapping refinements. However, Saudi Arabia recently ordered 84 F-15SAs and will also upgrade their 70 remaining F-15Ss to this standard, which is similar to the South Korean F-15K, the most advanced F-15 model in the world. Highlights of the F-15SA upgrade include more powerful engines, AESA radars, an infrared search and track system, a helmet-mounted sight, and the capability to carry cutting-edge weapons (see http://www.dsca.mil/PressRelease... ). Saudi Arabia will begin receiving F-15SAs around 2014.

Lockheed Martin to provide additional Sniper ATPs for the RSAF

 

Posted 21 May 2010

 

Lockheed Martin has signed a $40 million foreign military sales contract to deliver Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATPs) to the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF). This is the second Sniper ATP purchase in a multi-year precision sensor modernisation programme to improve precision targeting, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability of Royal Saudi Air Force F-15S aircraft.

 

The Royal Saudi Air Force first purchased Sniper pods in March 2009. Operational evaluation of the pod on the F-15S concluded in January of this year, with the Royal Saudi Air Force declaring the pod mission ready.

 

John Rogers, Saudi Sniper ATP program manager at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control said: “Deliveries on the initial F-15S Sniper ATP contract were completed ahead of schedule.

 

“We’ve received very positive feedback from Saudi aircrews flying the Sniper pod, and we look forward to delivering additional pods to support their urgent operational requirement for Sniper ATP capability.”

 

Featuring exceptional image quality and stability due to its next-generation design, the Sniper ATP delivers extremely precise weapon targeting for multiple fixed and moving targets, a high performance datalink for real-time coordination between aircrews and ground troops, and real-time weapon damage estimation radius displays to reduce the potential for collateral damage. The Sniper pod is heavily used as a non-traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance asset for convoy route reconnaissance and battlefield situational awareness.

 

Deployed in theater on US Air Force and coalition partner F-15, F-16, A-10 and B-1 aircraft, the Sniper ATP is also operational on the CF-18 and Harrier GR7 and GR9 aircraft. Platform expansion continues with the B-52, Tornado, Typhoon, unmanned aerial vehicles and additional aircraft.

Lockheed Martin and Advanced Electronics Company to Establish Sniper Pod Support Facility in Saudi Arabia

 

Orlando, Fla., Sept. 15, 2014 – Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and Advanced Electronics Company (AEC) will establish a Sniper® Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) Expanded Repair Capability facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – the first Sniper support facility established outside the United States.

 

Designed to support the Royal Saudi Air Force’s (RSAF) Sniper ATPs, the Expanded Repair Capability facility will provide both affordability benefits and expedited repair times for the RSAF. Lockheed Martin employees will train AEC technicians to perform maintenance on Sniper ATP line replaceable units, and future AEC support will include managing logistics and completing product upgrades for both Sniper ATP and LANTIRN™ pods.

 

“Providing in-Kingdom support with AEC ensures that Sniper ATP capability is readily available for the RSAF,” said John Rogers, F-15SA program manager at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “AEC is a strategic partner in the Kingdom, and we look forward to finding additional opportunities to work together.”

 

Lockheed Martin and AEC will establish the Sniper ATP Expanded Repair Capability facility in cooperation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Economic Offset Program. The facility is part of an existing offset agreement between the Saudi Arabia Economic Offset Committee and Lockheed Martin. AEC is a Saudi-based company focused on electronics manufacturing, system integration, and repair and maintenance services. Lockheed Martin and AEC have previously collaborated on Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor Special Repair Activities and LANTIRN targeting and navigation pods. 

 

“AEC is proud to be associated with Lockheed Martin,” said Dr. Ghassan Al Shibl, president and chief executive officer of AEC. “AEC excellence is achieved through our people. AEC is committed to achieving Saudi Government objectives by building a first-class capability relying substantially on a Saudi workforce. I would like to express my appreciation to Lockheed Martin for its vision in establishing significant local content on the Sniper ATP.”

 

Sniper ATP provides pilots with high-resolution imagery for precision targeting and non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. In use by the U.S. Air Force and 16 countries, Sniper ATP is interoperable across multiple platforms, including U.S. Air Force and multi-national F-15, F-16, F-18, A-10, B-1 and B-52 aircraft.

 

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 113,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation’s net sales for 2013 were $45.4 billion.

Les pod Damocles sont fabriqués sur place en arabie saoudite ? Je sais que les Emiratis on participé financierement au développement du joujou a hauteur de 30 % .

Nice, donc les saoudiens et les emiratis utilisent le Damocles je savait meme pas que les saoudiens l'utilisent , c'est une bonne chose sa permet de developper l'interoperabilite et la cooperation militaire entre les pays du golfe et le Maroc notamment qui utilise lui aussi le Damocles et aussi le Sniper, lorsque le centre de maintenance sera sur pied sa serait cool de profiter de ces infrastructures . Les UAE et l'arabie saoudite sont des pays amis et alliés depuis longtemps le temps et les developpements actuels vont nous pousser a coopérer de plus en plus .

Saudi Arabia takes delivery of Saab Erieye aircraft

 

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

16 December 2014

 

A photograph emerged on social media on 16 December apparently showing a Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) ceremony to mark the arrival of a Saab 2000 aircraft equipped with the Swedish company's Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) radar.

 

Saudi social media sources reported that the ceremony took place at the King Faisal Air Academy in Riyadh and that the aircraft would be operated by 60 Squadron.

 

Saab was forced by financial reporting rules to reveal the SEK4.5 billion (then worth USD670 million) deal to sell the system to Saudi Arabia more than four years ago in 2010. The announcement suggested only one Erieye aircraft would be delivered to the kingdom to supplement the RSAF's existing fleet of E-3 Sentry AEW&C aircraft.

 

 

 

Note : Une source travaillant dans la plus grande base de la RSAF (Royal Saudi Air Force) dit qu’il y en aurait eu deux de livrer - et non pas un seul -, avec quatre autres en attente de livraison.
