The SZRP verification group, which included experts and specialists in various fields, both operational and technical, tested the EC 725 Caracal helicopter and gave a positive opinion.


Tests of the EC-725 Caracal -- part of the proceedings in the multipurpose helicopter project for the Armed Forces -- were completed on Wednesday (May 27) at the 33rd Airlift Base in Powidz.

The verification stage of the helicopter project completes the evaluation phase of the bids submitted on 30 December 2014 by contractors participating in the proceedings.

The next step in the procedure will be to negotiate the provisions of the agreement with the selected contractor. At the same time, the Ministry of Economy will be informed of the successful completion of the compliance checks, enabling the start of negotiations offset. After agreeing the contract terms, and signing the offset agreements, it will be possible to sign an acquisition contract.

Deliveries of the first helicopter equipped according to the requirements and in the numbers specified by the contracting authority will begin in 2017.

The purpose of the process was to verify that the technical data provided by the winning consortium for compliance with the real technical parameters as verified during the checks.

Checks were divided into two phases: the first were performed to verify ground characteristics, and the second flight characteristics.

The 32 most important performance and operational criteria included in the tender requirements were selected for the verification process.

These cover four major areas, including: common platform, design of the helicopter, performance and on-board equipment. After verification, the operations group assessed that all stated parameters complied with the actual characteristics of the helicopter.

Verification of the helicopter construction included the interchangeability of fuel and lubricants, particularly those used by NATO; the construction of the landing gear; the number of exits; possession of certifications meeting international aviation standards.

In terms of helicopter performance were checked, among other things: the ceiling, endurance, speed, hover performance, transport capacity and range and mission radius.

The final group of parameters verified the onboard equipment, among other things, the ability to fly by day and night, imaging and communication systems, as well as equipment required to ensure the safe operation of the helicopter.

The verification group was composed of experts and specialists representing the General Staff, the General Command, the Inspectorate of Armaments and Armed Forces Support.

In checking, they were assisted both by experienced helicopter pilots and maintenance personnel from the units which will operate the helicopters.

For the sake of transparency, this verification phase was supervised by the Military Counterintelligence Service, the Military Police and the office for Anticorruption Procedures.

Common Launcher Development for Typhoon

(Source: BAE Systems; issued May 28, 2015)


The UK Ministry of Defence has provided £1.7 million of funding to research a common weapon launcher for Typhoon that could be capable of carrying multiple weapons and weapon types on one aircraft attachment point.

The project will bring together expertise from ourselves as the weapons integration lead for Typhoon and the weapons manufacturers MBDA and Raytheon UK. If the research is successful this could be the latest development in a programme of activity to ensure that Typhoon continues to deliver world-leading capability for the armed forces.

Andy Eddleston, Typhoon Product Development and Future Capability Director said: "Developing a common weapon launcher solution could significantly enhance Typhoon's ability to deliver increased weapons persistence and effects. Each launcher could be capable of carrying up to three weapons, providing a great deal of flexibility and persistence for the operator."

The common weapon launcher, if the research is successful and the programme taken forward, could offer a flexible and cost effective solution for customers. The launcher could potentially carry weapons such as the Dual Mode Brimstone 2 Missile and the Paveway IV Precision Guided Bomb.

Typhoon is already regarded as a world-leading combat aircraft and it continues to advance in order to deliver the latest technologies to keep its operators ahead in a constantly changing global environment. Recent enhancements in capability include the integration of the Paveway IV Precision Guided Bomb and contracts to integrate the Captor E-Scan radar and the Dual Mode Brimstone Missile.

A First for IAF: Fired From Fighter Jet, Anti-Ship Missile Hits Bullseye

(Source: Hindustan Times, published May 29, 2015)

As part of its wide-ranging and deep upgrade, the Indian Air Force’s Jaguar fighters will gain a naval strike capability with the Harpoon anti-ship missiles, which has now been test-fired. (xairforces.net photo)

NEW DELHI --- The Indian Air Force launched an anti-ship Harpoon missile from a fighter plane for the first time at a pre-designated target in the Arabian Sea last week. The missile, built by US defence giant Boeing, was launched on May 22 from a Jaguar maritime strike fighter that flew 200 nautical miles off the west coast to carry out the mission, a source said.

The fighter belonged to the IAF’s maritime strike squadron based at the Lohegaon airbase outside Pune. The Jaguar was refuelled midair during the mission, the source added.

An official confirmed it was the “first live firing” of the Harpoon from a warplane in India after integration by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. “It was successful,” he added.

With a range of 124 km, the Harpoon is capable of land-strike missions too.

The navy tested the Harpoon last year when a Boeing P-8I long range maritime reconnaissance aircraft launched the subsonic missile to take out a ‘target’ in the Bay of Bengal.

Agora por lá 2 aeronaves podem disparar o Harpoon, o Jaguar e o P-8.

Já que compramos o míssil, eu espero que o AM-X vire também uma plataforma para o Harpoon!!

Vai sonhando, cupincha. Achas que abriríamos mão do nosso MAN Exocet da Tabajara (aquele que a gente só vê em Powerpoint e maquete) em favor de um missilzeco desses? ECA! Aqui é Primeiro Mundo, nem damos bola para essas arminhas muquiranas dos ianques, aqueles subdesenvolvidos...
