Brazil Eyes Northrop International Patrol Frigate
RIO DE JANEIRO - April 15, 2009: Brazil's top naval officers were quickly drawn to the International Patrol Frigate display when they stopped by Northrop Grumman's booth at the Latin America Aerospace and Defense exhibition, which opened here April 14. The National Security Cutter (NSC) is the centerpiece of the U.S. Coast Guard fleet replacement program. With its 418-foot length and 4,300 ton full load displacement, this is the largest of the new multi-mission cutters. The program of record is eight ships of which the first ship, USCGC Bertholf (WMSL 750), has been commissioned and two additional ships, Waesche (WMSL 751) and Stratton (WMSL 752) are under construction.
"It's an outstanding ship; a very interesting project," Rear Adm. Cagle Ilques said after visiting the display.
Asked if the ship would have an application for the Brazilian navy, Ilques said, "of course."


The proposed ship is based on the National Security Cutter now being built by Northrop for the U.S. Coast Guard. Despite its Coast Guard origins, the patrol frigate presents an interesting "mixture of a sonar, [extensive] range, a combat center and anti-submarine capability, all on less than 5,000 tons," Ilques said.


Brazil's top naval officer, Adm. Alte Esq Vinicius, was also impressed. "We have a requirement for three frigates and five patrol ships," he said, "and we're looking for a ship already in production, not a prototype."
The Brazilian Navy is gathering information from several proposals for its frigate and patrol ship program, Vinicius said. "Probably in June, we are sending a group of officers to the United States to visit the shipyard," he said.
Northrop is hopeful the ship will become a serious contender for the Brazilians.
"The International Patrol Frigate meets most, if not all, of the requirements the Brazilians laid out in their maritime strategy," said Rocco Tomanelli, Northrop's director of coastal warfare and international programs.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - April 13, 2009 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) will highlight a wide range of naval and airborne capabilities at the 2009 Latin America Aerospace and Defence (LAAD) show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

LAAD is one of Latin America's leading exhibitions for the defense and security industry bringing together Brazilian and international companies that provide equipment and services for the three armed forces, special forces, security services, consultants and government agencies.

"We are proud of our long relationship with the Brazil navy, which dates back more than 30 years," said J. Nolasco DaCunha, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Sperry Marine business unit. "Sperry Marine is the preferred supplier of bridge electronics and steering systems with a very large installed base across the Brazil navy fleet. We are currently under contract to supply the integrated bridge systems (IBS) for the new class of 500-ton patrol boats, as well as a multi-phase program to upgrade navigation radars and inertial navigation systems (INS) throughout the fleet. We also have strong relationships with other Latin American navies, such as Mexico and Chile."

"We will leverage Sperry Marine's extensive record of supplying state-of-the-art products and customer support as a springboard to introduce our sister units within Northrop Grumman to the Latin American defense and aerospace market," DaCunha added.

Sperry Marine will showcase its IBS, MK27F and MK39 ship INSs and other bridge electronics. The Sperry Marine group will use an interactive touchscreen smart table demonstration kiosk with large high-resolution monitors to demonstrate the full range of capabilities and product lines for modern naval forces.

Also featured in the exhibit will be the Fire Scout vertical take-off and landing UAV, Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) airborne early warning system, APN-241 radar and the International Patrol Frigate, a versatile warship based on the multi-mission U.S. Coast Guard National Security Cutter.

Esses patrulhões foram carissímos, têm imensos problemas e não têm comparação sequer com as KDXII, (quanto mais FREEM, F-100 etc) que não cumprem as especificações da MB. Misseis ar-ar? VLS? Radares? Guerra electrónica?
