Avança a modernização dos P-3A chilenos

O processo de modernização de três Lockheed P-3A Orion da Aviación Naval do Chile já se encontra num estágio bem avançado. Os trabalhos estão sendo executados pela empresa New Zealand Engineering Service, que já entregou duas das aeronaves modernizadas. Basicamente, o que foi feito é a renovação da aviônica e a revisão da célula. Os aviões receberam um novo radar de vigilância, o Elta EL/M-2022A, que incorpora modos SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) e ISAR (Inverse SAR). Foram também capacitados a lançar mísseis antinavio AGM-84 Harpoon. (Juan Carlos Cicalesi)

Chile to announce Type 23 frigate upgrade winner by year's end

Gabriel Porfilio, Orlando - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
23 May 2016

By the end of the year a winner of work upgrading the Chilean Navy's fleet of Type 23 frigates is to be announced, about a year after a request for information was issued to several companies, Commander-in-Chief Admiral Enrique Larrañaga has revealed.

The companies included BAE Systems, IAI, Lockheed Martin Canada, Thales, and QinetiQ. It is expected that by June, the navy would seek a request for proposals and award a contract by the end of 2016.

The upgrade involves modernisation of the anti-air defences with a new semi-active/active guided missile, new radars, and a new combat management system.

Adm Larrañaga also said the first of seven purchased Vulcanair P.68 Observer 2 twin-prop transport has arrived to the country; these are replacing the now phased-out Cessna O-2A Skymaster.

The Chilean Navy is planning on upgrading its three U.K.-built Type-23 frigates with U.S. anti-air missile systems, according to a notice to Congress on a potential foreign military sale.

Under the initial terms, the U.S. intends to sell the South American country 33 of the Raytheon Evolved Seasparrow Missiles (ESSMs), six Evolved Seasparrow Telemetry Missiles, three Lockheed Martin Mk 41 Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) and other gear in a $140 million, according to a release on the notice from the U.S. State Department Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

“This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by increasing Chile’s ability to contribute to regional security and promoting interoperability with the U.S. forces,” read the notice.
“The sale will provide upgraded air defense capabilities on Chile’s type 23 frigates. The proposed sale improves Chile’s capability to deter regional threats and strengthen its homeland defense. Chile will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.”

Chile operates three former U.K. Royal Navy Type-23 frigates currently armed with the legacy GWS-26 Sea Wolf anti-air missiles and the ESSMs will be a significant upgrade, Eric Wertheim, the author of the U.S. Naval Institute’s Combat Fleets of the World, told USNI News on Tuesday.

“I think it’s a smart move by Chile,” he said.
“They’re moving beyond their current generation of surface to air missiles.”

The following is the complete July 5, 2016 statement from DSCA.

Chilean shipbuilder ASMAR (Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada) is to launch the fourth Patrullero de Zona Maritime (PZM) offshore patrol vessel for the Chilean Navy on 3 August, a navy spokesperson told IHS Jane's on 1 August.

Cabo Odger (OPV 84), ordered by the navy on 12 January 2015, is being built at ASMAR's shipyard in Talcahuano.

The PZM is a local modification of German shipbuilder Fassmer's OPV-80 design.

After the ship is launched, outfitting work will soon began followed by testing and trials before delivery in August 2017. Cabo Odger is intendted to provide search-and-rescue, pollution control, training, patrol, and logistical support over the country's exclusive economic zone. The vessel's homeport is yet to be defined, the navy said.

Cabo Odger will join Piloto Pardo (OPV 81), Comandante Toro (OPV 82), and Marinero Fuentealba (OPV 83) that were commissioned June 2008, August 2009, and November 2014, respectively. The fleet was purchased as part of the service's Danubio IV programme implemented in 2004.

The initial two PZMs were purchased in May 2005, and the third in January 2012.

The last two units incorporate several differences over initial ships, as they were modified to sail Antarctic waters. They include a reinforced fore-hull, specially calibrated tanks and systems to operate in low temperatures, and an extended bridge. A single Leonardo Compact 76 mm artillery system was installed instead of a 40 mm mounting on the first two OPVs. There are also several protected mounts for 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.

El cuarto de seis previstos
El astillero Asmar bota el OPV-84 'Cabo Odger' de la Armada de Chile

05/08/2016 | Valparaíso

Nicolás García

La presidenta Michelle Bachelet y el ministro de Defensa José Antonio Gómez encabezaron el pasado 3 de agosto la ceremonia de botadura al mar del OPV-84 Cabo Odger que la empresa Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada (Asmar) ha construido en la planta industrial de la ciudad de Talcahuano para la Armada de Chile.

El 'Cabo Odger' es el cuarto patrullero oceánico de un total de seis buques basados en el diseño OPV-80 de la empresa alemana Fassmer GmbH. La Armada encomendó a Asmar la construcción de estas unidades con el propósito de dotar a cada una de las cinco zonas navales en las que se divide el país con medios modernos que permitan ejecutar de manera más intensa y eficiente las misiones de vigilancia y control de los espacios marítimos bajo jurisdicción nacional.

Además de efectuar labores de búsqueda y rescate, resguardar la seguridad en el mar, fiscalizar los espacios marítimos, brindar apoyo logístico a las zonas aisladas, realizar el mantenimiento de la señalización marítima, controlar la contaminación y proteger el medio ambiente en la Zona Ecónomica Exclusiva.

Bachelet manifestó en su discurso que "es estimulante ver que los proyectos de largo plazo se van concretando y saber que gracias a una adecuada planificación y el sentido de Estado que tiene la política de Defensa, completaremos estas iniciativa con dos nuevas unidades de este tipo en los próximos años".

La presidenta también destacó que "hoy tenemos navíos capaces de afrontar grandes desafíos en la Zona Económica Exclusiva, por lapsos de hasta 30 días, sin interrupciones, y que pueden abordar complejas operaciones de rescate", lo que contribuirá al control de la pesca ilegal y permitirá proteger y fiscalizar áreas marítimas protegidas dando cumplimiento a una serie de acuerdos internacionales al que el país se ha adherido.

Durante el acto, la jefe de Estado respaldó la construcción de un nuevo rompehielos que permita desarrollar misiones de apoyo logístico, búsqueda y rescate, investigación científica y reabastecimiento de las bases chilenas ubicadas en la Antártica.

A este respecto, señaló que "están casi terminados los estudios de ingeniería para un nuevo buque antártico, tengo la certeza de que Asmar podrá ofrecer una alternativa competitiva para su construcción". Al respecto cabe mencionar que Asmar otorgó a la empresa canadiense Vard Marine a comienzos de año un contrato para que realice el diseño de ingeniería básica de un buque rompehielos.

Por su parte, el comandante en jefe de la Armada, almirante Enrique Larrañaga, indicó que “hoy es un día de alegría para la Marina porque estamos ante el nacimiento de un nuevo buque al servicio del país, el cual fue construido integralmente en Asmar Talcahuano dando una muestra de la capacidad tecnológica y de ingeniería que tenemos en esta zona y además de las capacidades futuras que podríamos tener de aquí en adelante. El astillero genera cerca de 500 empleos directos y 2.500 fuentes de trabajo en total por lo que seguir construyendo buques aquí es muy importante”.

Proyecto Danubio IV

El proyecto Danubio IV, nombre que recibe este programa naval, se inició en 2005 con la construcción de la primeria serie de dos buques, el OPV-81 Piloto Pardo y el OPV-82 Comandante Toro, que entraron en servicio en 2008 y 2009 respectivamente.

Este proyecto sufrió una paralización tras la destrucción de las instalaciones de Talcahuano por el terremoto y tsunami que afectó a Chile el 27 de febrero de 2010. La segunda fase de proyecto Danubio IV se reinició en julio de 2012 con el corte de la primera plancha del OPV-83 Marinero Fuentealba, incorporándose esta unidad a la institución el 6 de noviembre de 2014.

La Dirección General de los Servicios de la Armada de Chile firmó el 12 de enero de 2015 con la empresa Asmar el contrato de construcción del OPV-84 Cabo Odger. Los trabajos de construcción del cuarto OPV de la institución comenzaron en mayo de 2015 y su primer bloque fue montado en la grada de lanzamiento el 2 de julio del mismo año.

Los OPV Marinero Fuentealba y Cabo Odger pertenecen a una subclase distinta respecto a los dos primeros OPV-80 que recibió la Armada ya que cuentan con una serie de diferencias entre las que destacan casco reforzado para navegar en aguas antárticas, sistemas anticongelante en estanques para surcar aguas frías, puente extendido para facilitar las operaciones marítimas y cañón Leonardo Compatto de 76/62 mm con control de tiro DESA Maitén-3/CH, en lugar del Bofors L/70 de 40 mm de la primera serie de buques.

OPV-84 Cabo Odger

El nuevo OPV de la Armada de Chile tiene 80,6 metros de eslora, 13 metros de manga y 3,8 metros de calado. Desplaza a plena carga 2.100 toneladas y tiene una autonomía de navegación de 30 días alcanzando un rango de acción de 8.000 millas náuticas a una velocidad de 12 nudos.

El Cabo Odger cuenta con dos motores diésel Wärtsila modelo 12V26 de 4.080 kw que le otorga una velocidad máxima de 22 nudos y su planta eléctrica está integrada por dos generadores diésel de 800 kva cada uno además de un generador de emergencia de 100 kva.

Este buque tiene una dotación de 32 tripulantes y capacidad para transportar 30 pasajeros. Dispone de hangar y cubierta de vuelo para la operación de un helicóptero tipo Dauphin y de dos lanchas semirrígidas modelo Pumar de Asmar para ejecutar misiones de abordaje y registro de embarcaciones.

El OPV-84 Cabo Odger, cuya construcción requirió una inversión de 70 millones de dólares, ha sido asignado a la V Zona Naval con puerto base en la ciudad de Puerto Montt y se espera que entre en servicio en julio de 2017.

Chile set to choose from four bids for Type 23 upgrade

Richard Scott, London - IHS Jane's Missiles & Rockets
07 September 2016

Rival combat system integrators bidding to upgrade the Chilean Navy's three Type 23 frigates have presented the service with combat system modernisation solutions using either the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Barak-8 or the MBDA Sea Ceptor anti-air guided weapon systems, IHS Jane's has learned.

A third missile option - in the form of the Raytheon RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) - appears to have dropped out of contention despite the US government approving a prospective sale.

BAE Systems (teamed with QinetiQ), IAI's MBT Division, Lockheed Martin Canada, and Thales Nederland are vying to modernise the three former UK Royal Navy (RN) ships Almirante Cochrane (ex-HMS Norfolk ), Almirante Condell (ex-HMS Marlborough ), and Almirante Lynch (ex-HMS Grafton ). The four companies were shortlisted in 2015 to bid for the upgrade or replacement of the ships' combat management system (CMS) and surveillance/target indication radar, and the replacement of the GWS 26 Mod 1 VL Seawolf command-to-line-of-sight point-defence missile system with an active radar or semi-active radar guided weapon system.

A formal request for proposals was released in mid-March, with responses submitted in early July. A decision on the preferred supplier is expected during the fourth quarter of 2016.

BAE Systems' proposal effectively mirrors the upgrade being introduced to RN service under the Type 23 Capability Sustainment Programme (CSP), encompassing the Outfit DNA(2) CMS (replacing the legacy Outfit DNA[1]), the ARTISAN 3D (RN designation Radar Type 997) medium-range radar (replacing Radar Type 996), and the MBDA Sea Ceptor local area anti-air weapon system. Sea Ceptor is founded on MBDA's new 'soft-launch' Common Anti-Air Modular Missile, which uses active radar homing (supported by mid-course guidance updates) to deliver an all-weather engagement capability.

MBDA argues that selection of Sea Ceptor would enable the Chilean Navy to maintain commonality with the RN. Furthermore, the ship installation would be de-risked by the prior RN Type 23 retrofits; Sea Ceptor is being introduced on board the RN's 13 remaining Type 23 frigates, replacing GWS 26 Mod 1, with HMS Argyll the first ship to receive the system.

Chile begins MM40 Block 3 Exocet retrofits

Richard Scott, London - IHS Jane's Missiles & Rockets
28 September 2016

Key Points

- The frigate Almirante Riveros has received the MM40 Block 3 Exocet anti-ship missile fit during an intermediate docking and refit at ASMAR's Talcahuano yard

- The Chilean sale marks the first time that MM40 Block 3 has been purchased by a customer to replace an existing Harpoon installation

The M-frigate Almirante Riveros has become the first Chilean Navy (Armada de Chile) ship to be refitted with MBDA's MM40 Block 3 Exocet anti-ship cruise missile.

MBDA was contracted in 2014 for the supply of the MM40 Block 3 missile system to Chile. The contract is seen as particularly significant by MBDA as it marks the first time that MM40 Block 3 has been purchased by a customer to replace an existing Harpoon installation.
