On a vu le même alors, mais il faut relativiser, il comparaît l'hélico avec un Chinook et un AW

Au chose par contre qui m'a choqué dans ce reportage c'est le nouveau système de viser sur les VAB qui sont.... inéffiscient au vu de leur coût et surtout surtout abérant, les drônes que possèdent l'armée de terre en afghanistant m'ont fait pensait au premier avion militaire du début du siècle dernier

comparé un CH-47 avec un EC-725 c'est extremement idiot, aucunes comparaisons possibles entre ces 2 helicos
quand aux performances dégradées des Caracal en Afghanistan et donné foi à une info debitée par
des journalistes peu ou pas du tout au fait de l'aéroanautique c'est dramatique
le CH-47 est un helicoptére de transport lourd conçus pour déplacer sur des distances moyennes des unités d'infanterie complete (aéromobilité à l'amaéricaine, pendant et apres l'experience acquises au vietnam)
le Caracal est un helicoptére moyen à usage multiple,transport poste de commandement Csar,guerre electronique etc etc )
les problèmes rencontrés en Afghanistan sont du à l'altitude élévée du pays et ce problème se pose autant pour les français que pour les anglais ou les us
y a pas de miracle,les performances seront toujours dégradées dans un tel environement
avant de faire du blalbla il faut savoir de quoi on parle et pas diffuse des infos stupides de journalistes en mal de cibles

Grande parade militaire à l’occasion du Bicentenaire de l’Indépendance mexicaine.

Citation :

Comme chaque année le Mexique célèbre le 16 septembre son accession à l’indépendance. La Fête de l'indépendance commémore le début de la rébellion contre les Espagnols. Le 16 septembre 1810, le prêtre Miguel Hidalgo, devenu héros national, y a lancé le "Cri de Dolores" proclamant les idéaux de la liberté et de l'indépendance.
Cette année pour célébrer le 200 ème anniversaire plus de 18000 militaires (dont 2815 femmes) vont défiler avec un impressionnant matériel et plus d’une centaine d’aéronefs.

Selon la presse mexicaine, plusieurs détachements étrangers participeront cette année exceptionnellement aux célébrations. La participation de ces détachements semble une première au Mexique et a nécessité un vote formel du sénat.

Les pays suivants seront représentés l’Allemagne, l’Argentine, le Brésil, le Canada, le Chili, la Chine, la Colombie, le Salvador, l’Espagne, les Etats Unis, la Russie, la France, le Guatemala, le Nicaragua, le Pérou et le Venezuela.
Notons que L’Espagne, la France et les Etats-Unis sont des puissances qui ont été en conflit avec le Mexique.

Lors de son voyage au Mexique le 30 avril 2010, le ministre avait annoncé la participation française, avec des officiers de l’Ecole de Saint Cyr, ainsi que deux hélicoptères.

A l’invitation du Ministre de la défense mexicaine, un détachement composé de 36personnels de la garde d’honneur de l’Armée Populaire de Libération va fouler le sol mexicain. C’est la première fois qu’une unité chinoise participe à un événement hors de son pays.

Les détachements étrangers représenteront un effectif total de 575 personnes et resteront présents au Mexique jusqu’au 20 septembre.

Mexico signs repeat order for EC725
By Craig Hoyle

Eurocopter has secured a repeat order to deliver a second batch of six EC725 transport helicopters to the Mexican armed forces.

Confirmed earlier this month, the deal takes to 12 the number of EC725s to be delivered to the nation. The first should be handed over in the second quarter of 2011, Eurocopter says.

With a maximum take-off weight of over 11t, the EC725 is a combat search and rescue-optimised development of Eurocopter’s proven Cougar transport helicopter. The new version is already flown by the French air force and army – the latter of which operates the model in Afghanistan – and by the Chilean army, says Flightglobal’s HeliCAS database.

Almost 50 examples are also on order for use by the Brazilian air force, army and navy, while Indonesia has ordered two.

Mexican UAV crash under investigation

Citation :

The single-engine Orbiter Mini UAV, built by Israeli firm Aeronautics Defense Systems, was on a mission when a mechanical problem forced it down, Mexican officials say. While no information on the mission is available, El Paso is just over the US-Mexico border from Ciudad Juarez, the epicentre of violence between rival drug cratels battling for control over smuggling and drug trafficking routes.

US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, got a call from a concerned citizen 14 December, sent agents into the field to locate and retrieve the catapult-launched aircraft. It was returned to the Mexican government by 16 December, CBP officials say.

The US National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the crash. "We are not looking at why it was where it was," NTSB officials say. "Our focus is purely on the safety issues." The US government is still studying the safety implications of permitting UAVs in the national airspace for routine missions.

Developed for the Israel Defence Forces, the Orbiter MUAV is primarily used for over-the-hill reconnaissance missions and other short-range intelligence and surveillance. It can carry a 1.3kg (3.3lbs) payload at altitudes of up to 18,000ft on missions as long as 4h. In 2009, the Mexican government signed a $22 million deal with Aeronautics Defense Systems for the Orbiter system.

Since teaming with AAI, a division of Textron, to market the small UAV in the US and to select international customers, in September 2009, it is also used by the Serbian army, Poland, Ireland and Azerbaijan.

CBP also operates the much larger Predator UAV, built by General Atomics, along the border.

Boeing wins $1 billion Mexican secure communication satellite contract


Boeing today announced that it has received a contract for approximately $1 billion from the government of Mexico to deliver an end-to-end satellite communications system. The system, known as MEXSAT, will consist of three satellites, two ground sites, associated network operations systems and reference user terminals. MEXSAT will provide secure communications for Mexico's national security needs, as well as enhanced coverage for the country's civil telecommunications.

"MEXSAT is the fourth generation of satellites Boeing has provided to Mexico for government and civilian satellite communications," said Craig Cooning, chief executive officer of Boeing Satellite Systems International.

Under the contract, Boeing will deliver a complete turnkey satellite system comprised of Boeing 702HP geomobile satellites MEXSAT-1 and MEXSAT-2 and one extended C- and Ku-band satellite, MEXSAT-3, which will provide fixed satellite services from geosynchronous orbit. MEXSAT-3 is scheduled to launch first, at the end of 2012.

Each Boeing 702HP satellite will supply 14 kilowatts of power through five-panel solar array wings that use high-efficiency, ultra triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cells. Both satellites will carry a 22-meter L-band reflector for mobile satellite services, complemented by a 2-meter Ku-band antenna.

Boeing will procure MEXSAT-3 and a spacecraft operations center from its supplier partner Orbital Sciences Corporation MEXSAT-3, an Orbital Star 2.4 satellite, will provide full coverage of Mexico and its patrimonial seas and relay civil communications for socioeconomic development.

Boeing also will develop two ground sites in Mexico with advanced beam-forming flexibility to direct mobile user spot beams to government agencies operating in Mexico and its patrimonial seas, including the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

Mexican State of Jalisco Takes Delivery of S-70i BLACK HAWK Helicopter



(Released Sept. 30, 2011) STRATFORD, Connecticut | Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has delivered an S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopter to Jalisco, the first state government in Mexico to acquire the newest variant of the world’s most employed military utility aircraft. Jalisco state police will deploy the aircraft for general law enforcement with initial aircraft operation anticipated during October’s XVI Pan American Games. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.

“An aircraft of this quality and value is a big investment for a state,” said Luis Carlos Najera Guittierrez de Velasco, Secretario de Seguridad Publica of Jalisco. “The functionality and performance of this S-70i helicopter means that Jalisco now has a new and valuable tool to support our policing in the region.”

Designed specifically for the international marketplace, S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopters are manufactured at Sikorsky’s production facility in Mielec, Poland. The delivery to Jalisco marks the fourth successful export of an S-70i aircraft from PZL Mielec in the last 60 days.

The S-70i aircraft arrived in Guadalajara on September 18 aboard an IL76 Cargo plane from Poland less than four months after the state placed the order with Sikorsky in late May 2011.

“We are very pleased we could deliver this S-70i variant in time for the Pan American Games,” said Robert Mastronardi, S-70i Senior Program Manager, Sikorsky Military Systems. “Our ability to produce and directly export BLACK HAWK aircraft to international customers is an excellent way for national and state governments around the world to quickly acquire a helicopter platform renowned for its reliability, high performance and multi-role versatility.”

Captain Rogelio Barrera Gonzalez, Chief Pilot for the State of Jalisco, arrived at Sikorsky’s PZL Mielec facility in Poland on September 12. After touring the PZL manufacturing and flight operations, Captain Barrera immediately began ground and flight acceptance procedures.

“I was very pleased with the quality of the aircraft, the facility and the people that made this product a reality for the State of Jalisco,” said Captain Barrera. “I would like to thank all of those people in Mexico, the United States and in Poland who supported the purchase and delivery of this helicopter. I am very excited to start flight operations with the State of Jalisco.”

Captain Barrera has now started ground and flight training at PZL Mielec and will meet up with the aircraft in early October.

The S-70i helicopter marks the 20th BLACK HAWK aircraft now operational in Mexico. The Mexican Air Force, the Mexican Navy and Federal Police operate a total of 19 UH-60L and UH-60M BLACK HAWK aircraft acquired since the mid 1990s. Sikorsky expects to deliver another three UH-60M BLACK HAWK aircraft to the Federal Police by early 2012.

“The delivery to the State of Jalisco of this exceptional and unique S-70i BLACK HAWK product highlights the fact that we are witnessing the growth of a new generation of internationally built BLACK HAWK helicopters, built in Poland and ready to serve world markets,” said Janusz Zakrecki, CEO of PZL Mielec.

The S-70i aircraft delivers the same power and lift performance as UH-60M BLACK HAWK aircraft, which are operated in large numbers by the U.S. Army. The S-70i utility aircraft version can typically weigh between 800 and 1,000 lbs. lighter than the fully equipped UH60M aircraft, providing increased speed and performance for the end user.

The S-70i aircraft’s advanced avionics include a dual GPS/INS system with digital map that provides accurate navigation and enhanced situational awareness. An active vibration control system delivers a smooth overall ride of the aircraft, which can be ordered with user-specific navigation, communications and other tactical equipment.

Mexico takes delivery of its first Airbus Military CN235 MPA ordered under the Mérida Initiative

16-11-11

The Mexican Navy has taken delivery of the first of four CN235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) ordered from Airbus Military through a contract with EADS North America under the Mérida Initiative, a joint program between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Mexico.




The remaining three aircraft will be delivered in the first half of 2012.

This CN235 in MPA configuration incorporates the latest technology developed for surveillance over the sea. The combination of the Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) system and a Search Radar allows this aircraft to locate and track ships to conduct thorough patrols of a coastline. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) help make this aircraft the ideal tool to carry out military surveillance missions for the Mexican Navy. The FITS was entirely developed by Airbus Military and ensures that the extensive data gathered by the aircraft’s on-board sensors can be easily used by the crew to execute their mission.

“It is an honor that the Mexican Navy is taking delivery of this Airbus Military CN235 MPA for its fleet. We are looking forward to the upcoming entry into service of this highly versatile aircraft that is ideal to help enforce law on the Mexican coastline”, says Airbus Military Head of Programmes, Rafael Tentor.

Including this latest delivery, the Mexican Navy already operates three CN235, which are to be added to the two CN235 operated by the Mexican federal police. The Mexican Air Force and Navy also operate nine C295 and six C212 aircraft.

To date, Airbus Military has sold 211 CN235 to 32 different operators in 20 countries all over the world.

Mexican Air Force takes delivery of Airbus Military C295




The Mexican Air Force has taken delivery of a new C295 aircraft that it ordered from Airbus Military. This order is in addition to the five C295s delivered last year and that the Mexican Secretary of Defence already operates.

The primary use of the aircraft will be transport of troops and paratroops. It can also be readily configured for medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or can carry up to nine tonnes of palletized or bulk cargo.

The capabilities of the C295 aircraft make it ideal for military missions, both tactical and logistic, as well as for civic/humanitarian missions in which its short take-off and landing (STOL) abilities are essential to provide access to remote locations. “When a customer comes back, that is due to the high quality of the product. We are proud to provide the Mexican Air Force a new C295 to keep on fulfilling the most demanding requirements from the Mexican Secretary of Defence”, said Airbus Military Head of Programmes, Rafael Tentor.

The Mexican Air Force, Navy, and Federal Police have acquired products from the entire family of Airbus Military Light and Medium aircraft including: ten C295 (including this latest delivery), seven CN235 (six of them in Maritime Patrol version), and ten C212 (eight of them in Maritime Patrol version).
