A-Darter missile cooperation brings Brazilian minister to Denel

Brazil’s Minister of Science and Technology, Aloízio Mercadante, visited Denel yesterday in what Denel says is a step towards greater cooperation between the defence industries of South Africa and Brazil.
“This is the next step in the relationship between the defence industries of South Africa and Brazil that will grow in significance and value over the next few years,” said Talib Sadik, Group Chief Executive Officer of Denel.
Mercadante forms part of the Brazilian delegation in South Africa for the IBSA Summit that starts today. The summit is hosted by President Jacob Zuma and is attended by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Sadik said the A-Darter was initiated jointly between Denel subsidiary Denel Dynamics and the Brazilian Air Force in 2006. This was the first cooperative defence programme between the two countries in terms of the trilateral IBSA Agreement.
The Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Lindiwe Sisulu, has described the programme as “a model for cooperation and joint development by South Africa and other developing nations.”
The A-Darter is a R1-billion development with the final products due to be delivered to the South African and Brazilian air forces in early 2013. According to the Armscor Bulletin System, South Africa has to date spent at least R1 048 751 867.29 on the programme, Project Assegaai. This includes R973 965 663.29 spent on development and R64 815 584.78 on preparing the missile for integration onto the Saab JAS 39 Gripen.
The short-range air-to-air missiles will be fitted to the SA Air Force’s Gripen and BAE Hawk aircraft. The A-Darter has already been launched successfully from the Gripen. Brazil wants the weapon for its FX-2 future fighter programme.
Several Brazilian companies are involved in the A-Darter programme, including Mectron, Avibrás and Opto Eletrônica. Mectron makes all Brazil’s missiles (MAA-1/B Piranha air-to-air missile, MAR-1 anti-radar missile and MSS-1.2 anti-armour missile). Avibras is assisting with development of the A-Darter’s rocket motor and Opto Eletrônica is participating in the development of the A-Darter’s seeker head.
According to Jan Wessels, Denel Dynamics CEO, “The A-Darter is designed to be highly agile missile, able to manoeuvre at very high G-forces. Its imaging Infra-Red seeker is designed to have very high angles of view. With a mass of less than 100 kg, the missile is powered by a boost-sustain rocket motor with thrust vector flight control”.
In April Wessels told defenceWeb the weapon, under development since March 2007, was on track and on target for delivery to the SAAF and the Brazilian Air Force from early 2013. Wessels added training missiles would be delivered from 2012. In March the A-Darter completed its guided flight test.
Wessels said there are only a handful of countries in the world with the technical abilities and capacity to develop these fifth-generation missiles.
The A-Darter programme provides 200 direct jobs (highly skilled engineers and technical support personnel) within Denel Dynamics, and up to 1 200 indirect jobs in the wider SA industry.
Denel said the ministerial visit will be a stimulus for future cooperation between Denel and the Brazilian defence sector. Brazil is hosting both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games and is in the planning process to upgrade its air defence capabilities.
“The Denel Group and in particular, Denel Dynamics, with its proven capabilities in the design, development and manufacturing of missiles – and its strong relationship with Brazilian companies – will be in a strong position to benefit from possible opportunities arising from this process,” said Sadik.
“The successful A-Darter development demonstrates the economic impact of Denel’s activities beyond the financial performance reflected in our annual results,” said Sadik.
“The defence industry is a vital contributor to maintenance of South Africa’s advanced manufacturing capacity that is inextricably linked to associated knowledge creation and technology development.
The missile programme with Brazil is part of a growing trend in Denel to cooperate with foreign partners in the development of defence systems. Denel Land System is cooperating with partners in South East Asia on the development of turrets fitted to armoured vehicles. Denel Dynamics is responsible for a joint programme with a country in the Middle East on unmanned aerial vehicles and precision-guided munitions systems. These partnership opportunities drive the creation of jobs in the industry.

BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT TO VISIT DENEL TO SEE PROGRESS ON MISSILE PROGRAMME
17 October 2011
The President of Brazil, Ms Dilma Rousseff, will visit defence manufacturer, Denel, on Monday, 17 October to evaluate progress made on a joint, missile development programme between the countries.
Talib Sadik, the Group CEO of Denel, says its subsidiary, Denel Dynamics is working alongsidevarious Brazilian industry companies on the development of the A-Darter, the5th generation, air-to-air-missile, to meet the needs of the Defence Forces of South Africa and Brazil. This project is jointly owned by the South African and Brazilian Departments of Defence. In South Africa, the missile will be integrated to the SA Air Force’s Gripen andHawk aircraft.
President Rousseff is in South Africa for the IBSA Summit hosted by President Jacob Zuma and will also be attended by the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh.
The A-Darter missile is a five year project with a value of more than R1-billion. Advanced testing of the infra-red air-to-air missile was completed earlier this year and the final products are due for delivery to the South African and Brazilian air forces in early 2013.
“The A-Darter is the first cooperative defence programme implemented in terms of the trilateral IBSA agreement,” says Sadik. “President Rousseff’s visit will strengthen our relationship with the Brazilian defence industry and may lead to similar projects in the future.”
Brazil is hosting both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games and is in the planning process to upgrade its air defence capabilities.
“Denel’s subsidiary, Denel Dynamics, with its proven capabilities in the design, development and manufacturing of missiles – and its strong relationship with Brazilian companies – will be in a position to benefit from possible opportunities arising from this process,” says Sadik. This is echoed by Denel Dynamics CEO Jan Wessels who highlighted the exceptional collaborative spirit between the engineering teams from Brazil and South Africa, working side by side on this ambitious programme.
“I have no doubt that the successful working relationships forged on this programme will result in further long-term collaboration between our industries”, Wessels says.

VISIT TO DENEL BY BRAZILIAN MINISTER OPENS THE DOOR FOR FUTURE COOPERATION
17 October 2011
The successful joint missile development programme between South Africa and Brazil may open the door for future cooperation in the defence industry.
Talib Sadik, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Denel, says today’s visit by the Brazilian Minister of Science and Technology, Aloízio Mercadante, underlines the importance of the A-Darter air-to-air missile programme for both countries.
“This is the next step in the relationship between the defence industries of South Africa and Brazil that will grow in significance and value over the next few years,” says Sadik.
President Dilma Rousseff is in South Africa for the IBSA Summit, hosted by President Jacob Zuma and also attended by the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh. Mr Mercadante forms part of the strong Brazilian delegation at the Summit that starts on Tuesday (18 October).

“The defence industry is a vital contributor to maintenance of South Africa’s advanced manufacturing capacity that is inextricably linked to associated knowledge creation and technology development.
“Denel, as a state-owned company, is at the forefront of this process through its on-going investment in research and development, its collaboration with the Department of Defence and foreign client base as well as the broader research community through its strategic position as a developer and manufacturer of niche defence products,” says Sadik.
The missile programme with Brazil is part of a growing trend in Denel to cooperate with foreign partners in the development of defence systems.

Dessa vez, eles correram atrás do prejuizo quando viram que a Avibrás com a MB iam acabar fazendo a modernização sim ou sim. Tanto que eles só vieram aqui "certificar" o desenvolvimento que é 100% nacional, como disse o Marino várias vezes e o Felipe bateu o carimbo.
Eles viram que iam perder tudo ($$$), correram atrás e pingou algum ($).
