Lockheed Martin Showcases Patriot Integration With Mk 41 VLS
Naval News had the opportunity to hear first-heard Lockheed Martin's Patriot VLS integration concept at SNA 2023.
Aaron Lariosa 11 Jan 2023

Lockheed Martin showcased a Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) capable Patriot missile for the first time at the Surface Navy Association (SNA) 2023 National Symposium. The display consisted of a single Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) launching from one Mk 41 VLS cell.

Tom Cavanaugh of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control highlighted efforts to integrate the PAC-3 MSE into the AEGIS Weapons System:

“We’ve conducted some testing and integration work for the government already where we’ve demonstrated the capability at different levels of system integration across the AEGIS Weapon System that will eventually lead to a flight test in the near future on there (referring to the display), but it’s fully integrated with the AEGIS Weapons System.”

Thomas Copeman, VP of Naval Systems, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, states in our video interview that Patriot has been integrated with AEGIS in previous efforts with AEGIS Ashore, a land-based version of the AEGIS Weapons System focused on Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), at the Pacific Missile Range Facility:

Both Lockheed Martin representatives brought up various reasons why Patriot would be a good alternative to the U.S. Navy’s (USN) current Standard Missile series.

Cavanaugh emphasized how PAC-3 MSE’s capabilities, such as its hit-to-kill interceptor, active Ka-band seeker, and altitude control motors, bring a new dimension to USN anti-aircraft warfare.

“So it kind of changes the calculus and how our adversaries effectors are focused on our platforms and how they’ve had you know, they just weapon systems been in the fleet for over 50 years Standard Missile has been out there with them. Or adversaries have designed measures to counter those systems. This changes that calculus using this weapon. So it brings the Navy a great capability.”

Another aspect that Cavanaugh remarked on was PAC-3 MSE’s longstanding, and expanding production line, which in turn can provide the USN with another source for BMD-capable missiles.

“We’re at a 500 missile per year production rate ramped up to 550 by the end of the year by the end of 2023. And then we’re investing in facilitation to increase that production as well.”

PAC-3 MSE could supplement SM series missiles in the critical role of BMD in the fleet. As a comparison, the current SM-6 production is 125 missiles a year with the line planning to produce 200 per year by 2026.

While the length of the Mk 41 VLS needed to support PAC-3 MSE isn’t mentioned, Copeland confirmed the missile doesn’t need “strike length” silos. Lockheed Martin intends to make it capable across all Mk 41 VLS-equipped vessels across the fleet.

The concept of VLS launched Patriot has been around for a while. However, Cavanaugh stated that recent interest from the USN has reinvigorated Lockheed Martin’s development on the Mk 41 VLS-capable Patriot.

“Oh yeah, we’ve looked at this before. There’s more interest from the U.S. Navy. I would say there’s more focus on it now. We’ve progressed significantly last year in our integration efforts and demonstrated that integration to the U.S. government.”

Naval News could not receive comment on exactly why the USN’s interest has increased to the point of the concept making its debut at SNA.

This concept follows Lockheed Martin’s efforts in joining together Army and Navy programs, as previously seen with the successful Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon and Mid-Range Capability.

Primeira visita de Navios de Guerra da República Islamica do Irã ao Brasil






Pela primeira vez, navios de guerra da República Islâmica do Irã visitam e aportam no porto do Rio de Janeiro. Os navios Base Móvel Makran e a fragata ‘Dena” visitarão o Brasil de 23 a 30 de janeiro, durante a viagem de circunavegação que a Marinha do Irã planejou.

Anteriormente o mesmo Makran e fragata “Sahand” realizaram a primeira grande viagem circundando o continente africano, passando pela Europa e terminando a vigem na Rússia, onde haviam sido convidados para participar do aniversário da Marinha daquele país.


Havia, segundo a força do país, a possibilidade dos navios
atravessarem do Oceano Pacífico para o Atlântico pelo Canal do Panamá, mesmo havendo dificuldades provocadas pelos Estados Unidos, pais que se considera inimigo declarado do Irã. Não sendo possível a travessia, entretanto, os navios devem optar por seguir viagem através do hostil Estreito de Magalhães, no sul do nosso Continente.

IDEX 2023: ADSB secures EUR 1 Bn Angolan corvette contract
Peter Felstead

Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) has signed a EUR 1 Bn contract with Angola to supply a fleet of BR71 MKII corvettes to the Angolan Navy, parent company EDGE Group announced at IDEX 2023 on 20 February 2023.

Although the number of corvettes was not mentioned by EDGE in its press release, ADSB CEO David Massey told Shephard News at IDEX 2023 that the deal covers three BR71 Mk II corvettes and an undisclosed number of smaller boats.

The BR71 MKII corvettes will be 71 m long and thus similar to the six Baynunah-class corvettes ADSB supplied to the UAE Navy in conjunction with France’s CMN. According to EDGE the Angolan corvettes will feature “advanced mission systems including a 3D radar, electronic warfare suite, secure communications, a main gun, and surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missile systems”.

The largest vessels currently operated by the Angolan Navy are two 62 m long Damen 6210-class offshore patrol vessels delivered in 2012, so the three ADSB-supplied corvettes will significantly enhance the Angolan Navy’s offshore capabilities.

Khalid Al Breiki, President of EDGE’s Platforms & Systems division, was quoted by the company as saying, “Signing a EUR 1 billion defence export deal represents a momentous achievement for EDGE as well as ADSB. This demonstrates our strategic approach and steadfast commitment to increasing national exports in line with the UAE leadership’s directive.”

ADSB’s Massey added that the BR71 MKII corvette “is a highly advanced vessel capable of performing multiple missions to secure Angola’s 1600 km coastline. We look forward to fulfilling the Angolan Navy’s operational requirements and strengthening their naval capabilities while expanding ADSB’s avenues of growth.”

É claro que construir um submarino sem tubos para os torpedos economizaria. Se é para ser assim, façam sem propulsão então. Vai economizar ainda mais.

The DPRK announced that it had successfully tested an underwater drone capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. During the testing, the North Korean drone covered a distance of 1,000 kilometers along various routes, making various maneuvers with a change of course. After 71 hours of test maneuvers, the drone successfully detonated a mock-up nuclear warhead.

North Korea views these tests as an important step in strengthening its nuclear shield, which is now becoming even more deadly. In fact, we are talking about the North Korean analogue of "Poseidon" with simplified performance characteristics.

In a potential conflict, the task of such a drone may be to defeat the ports and naval bases of the enemy in South Korea and Japan. The potential possibility of an attack against the American AUG is not excluded.
