Boeing Delivers 2 F-15K Slam Eagles to the Republic of Korea

DAEGU AIR BASE, Republic of Korea, June 2, 2011 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] delivered two F-15K Slam Eagle aircraft -- designated F-15K49 and F-15K50 -- to the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) at Daegu Air Base on May 30. The aircraft departed the Boeing St. Louis facility on May 25 and made stops in Palmdale, Calif., Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, and Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, before arriving in Korea.
"Boeing has now delivered 10 F-15Ks to the Republic of Korea under the Next Fighter II contract," said Roger Besancenez, Boeing F-15 Program vice president. "We remain laser focused on providing first time quality on every F-15K we deliver to this important customer. We are proud that the F-15K is a cost-certain, schedule-certain solution for the Republic of Korea."
Boeing delivered the first six of 21 F-15Ks it is producing under the Next Fighter II contract in 2010 and two more in April. The remaining 11 aircraft will be delivered through April 2012.
Six of the new F-15K Slam Eagles are scheduled to participate in an advanced aerial combat training exercise at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., in early 2012.
The F-15K is an advanced variant of the combat-proven F-15E. Equipped with the latest technological upgrades, it is extremely capable, survivable and maintainable. The aircraft's service life is planned through 2040, with technology insertions and upgrades throughout its life cycle. Boeing completed delivery of 40 Next Fighter I aircraft to the ROKAF in October 2008.

Navy commissions 2nd high-tech Aegis destroyer

SEOUL, June 3 (Yonhap) -- The Navy has deployed its second high-tech Aegis destroyer, officials said Friday, to bolster defense against North Korea amid persisting tensions after last year's two military attacks.
The 7,600-ton KDX-III destroyer was put into service on Wednesday, after nine months of test operations, and assigned to the Navy's 7th fleet, Navy officials said.
The new destroyer was named after one of Korea's most prominent Confucian scholars, Yulgok Yi I (1536-1584).

"The Yulgok Yi I will carry out its mission of anti-air and anti-ship defense in waters on three sides of the Korean Peninsula," a Navy official said.
South Korea has built three Aegis destroyers since 2004 under a Navy buildup project, code-named "KDX-III," to bolster defense against North Korea. The first ship was commissioned in 2008, and the third ship was launched early this year.
The 166-meter-long KDX III destroyer can carry about 120 missiles and torpedoes in its vertical launch system. With 300 crew members, it can also carry two mid-sized helicopters and sail at a top speed of 30 knots within a range of 1,000 kilometers, Navy officials said.
Inter-Korean tensions persist after North Korea sank the South's Cheonan warship near the Yellow Sea border in March last year, killing 46 sailors. Eight months later, the North bombarded the frontline South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, killing two marines and two civilians.

Training plane crash kills two pilots

An Air Force training plane crash-landed during flight training in Cheongwon, North Chungcheong Province, killing two pilots, officials said Tuesday.
The T-103 plane crashed about 2 kilometers away from a runway at a military training facility at around 1:30 p.m.
Second Lieut. Lee Min-woo and flight trainer Nam Gwan-woo died in the crash, officials said.
The Air Force immediately set up a team ― headed by the vice Air Force chief ― to investigate the cause of the crash.

“The plane flew at a lower than usual altitude, and one of its wheels was caught on an electrical wire, and then it crashed,” one of the witnesses told reporters.

T-103 is a Russian-made training plane for entry-level pilots. A total of 23 T-103s were introduced here under a 2004 deal that allowed Russia to give weapons to South Korea instead of paying back economic cooperation loans.

The plane, with a maximum speed of 340 kilometers per hour, can reach an altitude of 3,000 meters. One plane costs around $156,000.

Seoul to Rig Up Special Planes to Infiltrate N.Korea

The South Korean military plans to fit out aircraft that will allow special forces to infiltrate North Korea's nuclear and missile bases at night or in bad weather. Currently South Korea depends on the U.S. military for support of such aircraft.

"We need to improve our special forces' capabilities to infiltrate North Korean military facilities in preparation for asymmetric threats from the North like nuclear or missile attacks or for a sudden change there," a military source said Monday. "So we decided to retrofit four of the Air Force's C-130 transport planes into aircraft similar to MC-130s," the U.S.' special operations aircraft.

MC-130

That involves installing equipment like multifunction radar, infrared front perimeter surveillance radar and satellite communications equipment.
The Air Force has 12 C-130s and relies on the U.S. military for support with MC-130s or MH-47 or MH-60 helicopters.

S. Korean, U.S. air forces to hold aerial refueling drills

South Korean and U.S. Air Forces have recently reached an agreement to stage an aerial refueling exercise on a regular basis here, using a U.S. in-flight tanker, a military source said Monday.

The first joint refueling exercise in which the U.S. is to mobilize its KC-135 tanker currently based in Okinawa, Japan, is expected to take place in the latter half of this year, the source said.

“Although our main combat aircraft ― F-15Ks and KF-16s ― have an aerial refueling capability, they have never conducted any such exercise. We have agreed to stage the exercise every six months,” he said, declining to be named.

“Through the exercise, we will help some 10 of our pilots obtain a certificate for aerial refueling. The exercise will help them maintain their qualification as the certificate holds valid for six months. ”

The military has been seeking to purchase its own in-flight tanker. But the efforts have been impeded by the government stressing efficiency in the budget execution and seeking to reduce unnecessary spending.

The U.S. military is known to have some 530 KC-135 tankers. KC-135 with a maximum range of 5,500 kilometers can carry fuel of some 110,000 liters.

Cassidian, the defence and security division of EADS, will protect the "Surion" utility helicopter of the Korean Army against missile attacks. Following a multi-million euro contract from Korean Aircraft Industries, Cassidian will deliver a first batch of 24 of its proven AN/AAR-60 MILDS® systems (MILDS = Missile Launch Detection System), until 2013. The order comprises about 100 sensors. Cassidian already supported the Korean company Lig Nex1 in the development of the helicopter's electronic warfare system and delivered 36 sensors during the development phase.

“With more than 7,000 MILDS® sensors in service worldwide, MILDS® has become the standard missile warner for helicopters and wide-body aircraft today”, explains Bernd Wenzler, CEO of Cassidian Electronics. "It has proven its value in protecting air vehicles, particularly against infrared-guided shoulder-fired missiles."

MILDS® is a passive imaging sensor, detecting the UV radiation signature of approaching missiles. The extremely high resolution combined with rapid processing enables very reliable threat identification and virtually eliminates false alarms. 4 to 5 sensors provide optimized coverage and rapid reaction. MILDS® is in service aboard a huge variety of rotary wing and wide body aircraft, including Tiger, NH90, CH-53, CH-47, MI-17 and C-130. A specific fighter version – MILDS F – is in service with the Royal Danish Airforce and Royal Norwegian Airforce F-16 fighters.

The "Surion" has been developed jointly by Korean Aerospace Industries and Eurocopter. It is planned to procure approx. 250 helicopters.

Four candidates short-listed in Korea's stealth jet project

Korea will acquire a new generation of stealth fighter jets from overseas to better counter North Korean provocations, the local defense procurement agency said Wednesday.

The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said it has narrowed down the candidates to four fighters: the F-15SE Silent Eagle by Boeing, F-35 Lightning II by Lockheed Martin, Eurofighter Typhoon by the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) and the T-50 PAK-FA by Russian firm Sukhoi.

According to DAPA, the project to acquire 60 fifth-generation stealth fighters is worth 8.29 trillion won ($7.86 billion).

Korea is expected to choose the winner in October next year.

"We've eased the criteria for operational capabilities to ensure more jets could enter the bidding," the agency said in a statement. "We will set up strategies that will allow for the transfer of core technology and that will encourage competition."

DAPA said the new generation of fighters will better prepare Korea against North Korea's "asymmetric capabilities" and will enhance the South's deterrence against surprise air attacks.

The agency said Seoul will also acquire AH-X attack helicopters from overseas. The AH-1W SuperCobra by Bell and AH-64D Block III by Boeing, both American choppers, will compete with the EC-665 Tiger by Eurocopter of France and the T-129 by Turkey.

This project, worth 1.84 trillion won, will see Korea purchase 36 attack helicopters. The winner of the bid will also be announced in October next year. (Yonhap News)
