Chilean sub leaves Mayport
A Chilean sub will head to sea once again after training at Naval Station Mayport.

The SS-21 Simpson arrived at Mayport on November 26, 2012 as part of the Diesel Electronic Submarine Initiative allowing the US Navy to work and train with smaller submarines. The Chilean Navy is also able to work with the Navy’s Aircraft Carrier Strike Groups which they don’t often experience.
The submarine also train and test underwater warfare capabilities through various operations.
Despite budget uncertainty which has delayed the deployment of the USS Gettysburg from Mayport Friday, I confirmed with Mayport officials that the sub’s departure will continue as scheduled.

Chili:"sanctions gravissimes" contre des officiers pour chants xénophobes

SANTIAGO DU CHILI, 05 mars 2013 (AFP) -

Deux officiers de marine chiliens feront l'objet de "sanctions gravissimes" pour avoir entonné des chants xénophobes contre les Argentins, les Boliviens et les Péruviens, lors d'un entrainement, a annoncé mardi le ministre de la Défense.

"Tant le capitaine de corvette en charge de l'école de cadets que le sergent responsable du peloton feront l'objet de sanctions gravissimes", a indiqué le ministre de la Défense chilien, Rodrigo Hinzpeter à la presse.

Le ministre a ajouté que les deux officiers pourront faire appel des sanctions, dont la nature n'a pas été précisée, dans les trois prochains jours.

Une video enregistrée dans la ville de Viña del Mar (120 km à l'ouest de Santiago) le 28 janvier avait montré 27 élèves officiers de l'Académie Navale courant le long de la corniche lors d'un entraînement et chantant "je tuerai des Argentins, fusillerai des Boliviens, égorgerai des Péruviens".

La vidéo avait provoqué de vives critiques au Pérou et en Bolivie qui avaient qualifié les images d'"inacceptables" et "agressives".

Le ministère argentin des Affaires étrangères avait envoyé une note à l'ambassade du Chili à Buenos Aires, exprimant sa "surprise et son inquiétude" ainsi que sa conviction que "des mesures adéquates seraient prises".

Le ministre chilien a indiqué que le chant a été composé par un des cadets, qui pourrait également être sanctionné.

Il a précisé que les deux officiers ne seraient pas exclus de la Marine pour le moment.

Chilean Army orders SpyLite mini-UAV systems from BlueBird
5 April 2013

BlueBird Aero Systems has been awarded a contract to deliver its advanced SpyLite mini unmanned aerial vehicle (mini-UAV) systems to the Chilean Army.

Covering delivery of an unspecified number of units, the contract was awarded after a competition during which the UAV surpassed all other systems in both performance and price levels.

BlueBird Aero systems CEO Ronen Nadir said the SpyLite system is a result of significant investment in research and development, aimed at developing a cost-effective, high performance product capable of addressing all missions related to the battlefield, homeland security and commercial market.

"We believe that follow-up orders will be added to this first order," Nadir added.

Weighing 6-8kg, the SpyLite is a mature, combat-proven, extended performance electric mini-UAV designed to deliver covert, over-the-hill or extended range real-time imagery for a wide range of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in almost any weather conditions.

Configurable to back-packed, vehicle-mounted or HQ stationary configurations, the UAV can support real time video or tactical mapping on demand in open area and urban warfare scenarios for military, peace keeping, low intensity conflict, security, disaster management and commercial applications.

With an endurance of more than four hours, the system combines a stabilised CCD and infrared payload with proprietary ground exploitation software, to enable transmission of GPS-marked imagery directly to the ground station (GCS), thus contributing to overall mission success.

Having been operational with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) since 2006, the UAV has also reportedly been ordered by the Ethiopian Army for border security missions earlier this year.

BlueBird seals SpyLite deal with Chilean army

By: Arie Egozi Tel Aviv

BlueBird Aero Systems has won a $3 million contract to supply SpyLite mini unmanned air systems to the Chilean army, with the Israeli manufacturer to complete the work within five months.

Chile had been assessing the SpyLite system in competition with Elbit Systems' Skylark I LE. Industry sources late last year said that the requirement was expected to be for an initial six systems, plus a "great number" in follow-on orders.

In a statement, BlueBird says its candidate was chosen after "surpassing competing systems in both performance and price levels". The company notes that its design has been in operational use with the Israeli defence ministry since 2006, and has also accumulated thousands of operational flight hours in the service of several international customers.

With a 4h-plus flight endurance, a communication range of over 27nm (50km), the SpyLite is designed to provide ground forces with covert "over-the-hill" or extended-range visual intelligence, supplying GPS-marked imagery to a ground station. Recovery is made using a parachute and airbag.

"The system delivers autonomous ease of use and high reliability, providing a very versatile and stable intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform," says BlueBird chief executive Ronen Nadir. Other applications could include supporting peacekeeping, security and disaster management tasks.

L'armée du Chili va acquérir trois nouveaux hélicoptères Cougar AS532

25/04/2013

(Infodefensa.com) L. Vasquez, Santiago du Chili - L'armée du Chili est prête pour recevoir un neuvième hélicoptère AS532 Cougar, tandis qu'elle prévois l'achat de trois appareils du même type cette année d'augmenter sa flotte de 12 avions, d'aprés des sources locales.

Le neuvième AS532, dont la réception est prévue pour mai, a été commandée en novembre de 2012 pour un coût de 25 millions de dollars. Financement pour l'achat d'autres trois AS532 exercice 2013 a déjà été attribué.

Ces achats sont inclus dans les plans de l'armée du Chili pour étendre sa flotte de AS532 pour un minimum de vingt-quatre appareils, dans le but d'offrir un soutien à une brigade aéromobile.

En 2008, l'armée chilienne a commandé huit AS532, destiné à soutenir la formation et le déploiement de sa Brigade des forces spéciales.

Nouveaux plans mis en place en 2011 prévoit l'achat d'au moins seize AS532 supplémentaires, pour transporter une Brigade aéromobile destinée aux opérations en montagne et de l'altiplano andin.

L'achat de huit et neuf AS532 d'occasion en Hollande ont commencé à la fin de 2011. Mais les pourparlers ont été suspendus à la mi-2012, une fois que la Turquie a réclamé des droits en tant que pays allient dans l'OTAN, qui ont la priorité dans l'acquisition de ces appareils.

Budget cuts prompt Chile to reassess defense buys

Chile's budgetary constraints are coming in the way of what began as an ambitious defense refurbishment and regeneration program with multibillion dollar purchase plans

SANTIAGO, Chile, May 1 (UPI) -- Chile's budgetary constraints are coming in the way of what began as an ambitious defense refurbishment and regeneration program with multibillion-dollar purchase plans.

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, faced with swings in approval ratings after student turmoil last year, is said to be having second thoughts on major acquisitions for the military, in particular the air force.

Chile embarked on an ambitious defense modernization program, taking the cue from neighboring Brazil's emerging arms industry. Economic developments, including reduced growth forecasts, slowed the pace of the Brazilian defense program but Brazilians say the glitch is temporary.

In Chile, cutbacks have prompted the government to look again at some of the modernization projects begun soon after Pinera was elected in January 2010 and assumed presidency March 11 that year.

Less than a month before Pinera's inauguration a strong earthquake struck Chile, disrupting major state spending plans and diverting funds to reconstruction.

The financial burden of the quake aftermath continues to influence the government's spending plans. Last year Pinera resisted demands from rioting students for education reforms that required tens of millions of dollars of state funding.

The national defense modernization has strong supporters in the military but practical concerns once again have dominated government decision-making. Plans for advanced trainers for the Chilean air force are at risk of being shelved, Chilean defense bloggers and Defense News reported on their websites.

Instead, the reports said, the Chilean air force would like to concentrate on spending toward upgrades to its General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon attack aircraft, bought secondhand from the Netherlands.

The sturdy F-16 is reputed to be one of the cheapest war jets to operate, one key reason for Chilean government decision-makers to continue making use of its existing inventory. Funds from planned upgrades to the military's trainer fleet are likely to be channeled into the F-16 upgrades program in collaboration with current manufacturer Lockheed Martin.

The Chilean air force operates an aged fleet of Spanish-built A/T 36 trainer jets. Until recently government procurement officials were looking at three prime candidates, Alenia Aermacchi's M346, the BAE Systems Hawk and Korean Aerospace T-50. That program is now shelved.

Around a dozen modern trainer aircraft were expected to be purchased to replace T-36s which are increasingly difficult to maintain and fail to provide the quality of training required to match the Lockheed Martin F-16 fleet.

The decision to shelve the purchase may have been taken to allow the Chilean air force to focus funding on the F-16, Defense News said.

"A delay might also allow the Chileans to see what the U.S. does in its jet training competition," the report said.

The three companies which had been lining up to bid for the Chilean trainer jet deal are also the front-runners in the U.S. Air Force TX competition, Defense News reported.

Lockheed Martin has been in talks with Chilean officials about the F-16 upgrade plans.

Je croyais qu'ils allaient se calmer avec la chute du cuivre. Apparement pas.

le budget alloué etalé sur 11/12 ans n´est pas grand chose,ca donne presque <1B$ pour les achats futurs
neanmoins les priorités et choix de leurs achats programés sont tres pertinents et bien etudiés
