Le Brésil construira 6 frégates FREMM et 4 sous-marins Scorpène

Citation :

Le quotidien brésilien Correio Braziliense a annoncé jeudi que le Brésil devrait construit un total de 6 frégates multi-missions FREMM, un projet commun franco-italien à la furtivité élevée, et un total de 4 sous-marins Scorpène (rebaptisé Marlin par les français, puisque les espagnols ne font pas partie de ce projet). Ce contrat ferait partie d’un grand "paquet" que le gouvernement brésilien devrait annoncer le 9 septembre.


L’annonce du Plan Stratégique de Défense devait être effectuée le 7 septembre, mais le gouvernement a préféré la retarder de quelques jours à cause de problèmes d’agenda pour certaines réunions préliminaires avec le président Lula.

En décembre prochain, le président français Nicolas Sarkozy devrait venir au Brésil pour signer les contrats de construction de 6 frégates FREMM et de 4 sous-marins Scorpène. La construction sera effectuée à l’Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ), qui devra être entièrement modernisé pour pouvoir effectuer des travaaux de grande envergure. Construites sur place, les 6 FREMM ne couteront au Brésil que 3 milliards $ (2,1 milliards €). Construites en France, elles auraient couté plus de 4 milliards $ (2,8 milliards €).

La marine nationale et la marine italienne développent conjointement le programme FREMM et devraient recevoir un total de 27 frégates, 17 pour la France, 10 pour l’Italie.

Pour l’instant, seules 8 unités ont été commandées par la France, 6 en version ASM, 2 en version lutte contre la terre. Le contrat est évalué à 3,5 milliards €, avec des livraisons entre 2011 et 2015. L’Italie devrait recevoir 10 frégates, 6 ASM et 4 multi-missions.

FREMM signifie FRégate Européenne Multi-Missions.

C’est un navire multi-missions innovateur, conçu par DCNS et Fincantieri, pour effectuer des missions de lutte anti-aérienne, anti-sous-marine et anti-navires. Il peut effectuer des attaques loin à l’intérieur des terres avec ses missiles de croisière Scalp Naval, lancés depuis des lanceurs verticaux.

Araguari joins the A Class

The crew on board Araguari at the handover ceremony in Portsmouth Naval Base

Araguari, the third of three Ocean Patrol Vessels built by BAE Systems, was handed over to the Brazilian Navy in a ceremony at Portsmouth Naval Base today.


Employees joined guests from the Brazilian Navy and UK Royal Navy, to watch as members of the ship’s company raised the ensign for the first time, formally marking the handover of the Brazilian Navy’s newest vessel.

Mick Ord, Managing Director of BAE Systems Maritime - Naval Ships business, said: “We are extremely proud to deliver Araguari. She is a highly capable ship, and with her sister ships, will be a great asset to the Brazilian Navy.

“We have written a new chapter in BAE Systems’ relationship with Brazil with the completion of the Amazonas class of ships. We look forward to continued partnership with the Brazilian Navy for many years to come.”

Vice Admiral Francisco Deiana, the Brazilian Navy’s Director of Naval Engineering, said:
“The three Amazonas class units make up an important contribution to both our ability to provide security, safety and protection to the Brazil’s Jurisdictional Waters and to deliver our commitments to the Brazilian Maritime Authority.

He went on to say: “Araguari, the third and last vessel, together with her sisters are no doubt a very important asset to the Brazilian Navy’s inventory and is a clear indication of a very good relationship that has been developed between the Brazilian Navy and BAE Systems.”

First of the class, Amazonas, was handed over to the Brazilian Navy in June 2012. The second ship, APA, was completed in November of last year.

During the preparation of the three ships, Portsmouth has hosted 250 Brazilian crew members as they underwent extensive training and preparation to take ownership of the new ships.

The Ocean Patrol Vessels will provide Brazil with enhanced maritime capability. With a 30mm cannon and two 25mm guns, as well as two rigid inflatable boats and a helicopter flight deck capable of landing a medium-sized helicopter, the ships are ideal for performing maritime security in Brazil’s territorial waters, including the protection of the country’s offshore oil and gas reserves. The vessels accommodate a crew of 80, with additional accommodation for 40 embarked troops or passengers and ample deck space for container storage.

The three ship contract, announced in January 2012, also includes a manufacturing licence to enable further vessels of the same class to be constructed in Brazil, helping to support the country’s naval re-equipment programme and strengthen its maritime industrial capability. www.baesystems.com

Brazil set to receive first M113BRs



Victor Barreira, Lisbon - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
24 July 2013



The Brazilian Army is scheduled by mid-August to take delivery of the first production vehicle of the 150 M113A2 Mk1 armoured personnel carriers it has ordered, army officials told IHS Jane's .

For this effort vehicles in the M113B configuration are being upgraded to the M113A2 Mk1 standard, locally designated M113BR, at the army's regional maintenance workshop in Curitiba as part of a US Foreign Military Sale worth USD47.6 million that was negotiated in 2010 with the US government, which awarded BAE Systems Land and Armaments a contract for the project in 2011.

In 2012 the Brazilian Army's first M113BR prototype underwent trials at the service's evaluation centre.

looks bad pour Rafale  

Ça va peut-être booster le choix brésilien, ces derniers s'étant rendu compte que le Mirage 2000 "acquis" ou donnés en cadeau étaient à la ramasse...

Citation :

...even the extra life of these Mirages has been depleted, with the jets reaching the absolute end of their operational life, and no further investment is in sight for further modernization. Since Brazil acquired the old variant (B/C) of Mirage 2000 it was not well equipped, and carried relatively obsolete weapons – Matra 530D and Magic II missiles. The radar did not provide Beyond Visual Range capability while navigation equipment was far from state of the art.

Des F-5M modernisés pour les remplacer temporairement...

Ces 12 Mirage-2000 avaient été achetés d’occasion à la France en 2005 pour 80 millions de dollars. Leur durée de vie était fixée à 5 ans. "Grâce à un effort logistique, nous avons pu prolonger leur durée de vie de deux ans. Ils auraient dû normalement cesser de voler en 2011", a indiqué à l'AFP un porte-parole de la FAB, sous le couvert de l'anonymat. Ces appareils ne pourront être revendus sur le marché international, informe l’AFP. Ils pourraient être remplacés provisoirement par six à 12 appareils américains F-5M "rajeunis" par l'avionneur brésilien Embraer, selon le quotidien Estado de Sao Paulo.

je comprend pourquoi ils ont ete donnés  en fin de compte le plan ne semble pas aboutir
les F5M sont bcp mieux en attendant les F18E/F,le temps que les US montrent plus de pragmatisme

Moi perso j'aime bien leurs F-5  

normal le tolier aime tjs son travail  non vraiment upgrade tres reussit sur ce vecteur (les notres inclus)

Delivery of US jets: NSA scandal threatened Armor deal with Brazil / Latin America News


Brazil urgently needs to modernize its fighter fleet. So far, the US aircraft were considered as the supplier of choice, but the deal has been stalled: the government in Brasília is upset about the US secret NSA spying programs.

The Ausspähaktionen of U.S. intelligence come the aircraft manufacturer Boeing may be costly. From anger about the behavior of the secret NSA Brazilian government to reconsider the purchase of U.S. fighter aircraft worth four billion dollars.

The country plans to modernize its fleet with 36 new fighter jets. As the clear favorite to date machinery of the F/A-18 “Super Hornet” of the U.S. aircraft company Boeing apply – also because the United States had previously bought Brazilian Embraer aircraft for use in Afghanistan.

As a competitor to Boeing, the French “Rafale” jet manufacturer Dassault Aviation and the Swedish “Gripen”, the Saab builds apply. Faced with dwindling defense budgets in NATO countries Brazil is the international arms companies as an important growth market.
“We can not now speak of the aircraft”

US Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Brazil on Tuesday and wanted to promote the U.S. jets during his visit actually. However, the government in Brasilia rejects calls over the arms deal. “We can not talk about airplanes now. One can such a contract is not awarded to a country that you do not trust,” said a senior Brazilian officials.

US officials have expressed concern about the reluctance of the Brazilians. The government of President Dilma Rousseff should make their decision solely on basis of technical criteria. “We are confident that we have the best product,” said an official.

The decision on which aircraft manufacturer finally awarded the contract, is expected at the earliest in the coming year – even if Brazil’s army is pressing for speedy delivery. The French “Mirage” aircraft that are currently parked among other things to protect the capital, must remain at the bottom end of the year for reasons of age may have.

The newspaper “O Globo” had published documents of the former intelligence employee Edward Snowden in July. This will become apparent far-reaching Ausspähaktionen of US intelligence on the Internet in Brazil and other Latin American countries.

The revelations had caused great indignation in Brasília for. The government was very concerned about the U.S. spy programs and called on the UN to intervene. In October Rousseff wants to speak at a state visit to Washington with President Barack Obama about the NSA scandal.
