Mexico buys Russian tactical transport helicopters

Mexico bought three Russian Mi-17V-5 tactical transport helicopters, an informed source in the Mexican military circles told RIA Novosti on Saturday.

The Mexican navy ministry, which along with defense ministry is charged with efforts against drug trafficking and organized crime, signed a contract with Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport on December 22.

Under the contract the Mexican side will receive three Russian helicopters made at the Kazan Helicopter Factory (KVZ) next year. The contract value is not disclosed.

Russia's Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev earlier said that Mexican partners showed interest in Russian military equipment to use in operations against drug trafficking.

"Our partners demonstrated interest [in Russian equipment]," Patrushev told journalists after a working visit to Mexico this November.

The Mi-17V-5 is an export modification of the Mi-8MTV-5 military utility transport helicopter and one of Russia's most popular export choppers. It can carry up to 36 passengers or four tons of cargo and features advanced multifunction cockpit displays and upgraded TV3-117VM engines.

According to expert estimates, Russian-made helicopters account for about 20% of the military helicopter market in Latin America and for about 2% of the civilian helicopter market in the region.

Hawker Beechcraft Signs Contract with Mexican Air Force for Six T-6C+ Trainers




WICHITA, Kan. (Jan. 9, 2012) – Hawker Beechcraft Defense Company (HBDC) today announced the first sale of its new Beechcraft T-6C+ military trainer to the Mexican Air Force (FAM). The T-6C+, an enhanced version of the T-6 military trainer aircraft, is capable of carrying external stores and delivering practice weapons for training purposes. The first two of six contracted FAM T-6C+ aircraft will be delivered to an advanced training base in Mexico’s northern region in early 2012. The new T-6C+ trainers will replace the FAM’s aging PC-7 fleet.



“We look forward to providing the Mexican Air Force with the highly effective, ultra-reliable and low-maintenance Beechcraft T-6C+,” said Jim Maslowski, president, HBDC. “We see this sale of six aircraft as just the beginning of a long and productive relationship with the FAM.”

The T-6C+ features hard-point wings, Heads-Up Display, Up-Front Control Panel, an integrated glass cockpit and an advanced Esterline CMC Cockpit 4000 avionics suite that greatly expands advanced training opportunities. The systems are integrated with a Hands-On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS), providing the student pilot and instructor with a simpler interface to the digital cockpit. The CMC Cockpit 4000 avionics suite is the first in its class to incorporate a fully integrated and FAA-certified dual FMS/GPS navigation suite that meets the required navigation performance standards for current worldwide airspace equipment. The open architecture design of the Cockpit 4000 provides the flexibility to expand capabilities and continuously meet current and future training needs.

In addition to accommodating instruction in instrument flight procedures and basic aerial maneuvers, the T-6 delivers world-class training capability that is appropriate for teaching the most basic introductory flight training tasks through the more challenging and complex advanced training missions that could previously be accomplished only in far more expensive jet aircraft.

Deliveries of the T-6 began in 2000 after the aircraft was initially selected to fill the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System role for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. Since then, additional military programs worldwide, including NATO Flying Training in Canada, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece, the Israeli Air Force, the Iraqi Air Force and the Royal Moroccan Air Force, have chosen the T-6 and its derivatives as their primary trainers. To date, the T-6 has been used to train pilots, navigators, and weapons systems operators from approximately 20 different countries.

EADS North America Delivers Final CN235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft for Mexico Under U.S. Foreign Military Sales Agreement


Aircraft Based on the Same Airframe as U.S. Coast Guard's HC-144A Ocean Sentry









HERNDON, VA, May 15, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- EADS North America has delivered the fourth and final Airbus Military CN235-300 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) to be supplied to the Mexican Navy under a U.S. Coast Guard managed foreign military sales agreement.

The Coast Guard employs the CN235-300 in the HC-144A Ocean Sentry configuration for a range of missions, including search and rescue, disaster relief and drug interdiction. In March, a Coast Guard HC-144 crew used the aircraft's sensor capabilities to locate and help interdict a semi-submersible "drug sub" in the Western Caribbean Sea.

EADS North America delivered its 13th HC-144A Ocean Sentry to the U.S. Coast Guard earlier this year, two months ahead of schedule. Last month, the Coast Guard exercised a contract option for deliveries that will bring the service's Ocean Sentry fleet up to 17 aircraft. The service ultimately plans to acquire up to a total of 36 of the twin-engine turboprops.

Mexico was the first U.S. foreign military sales customer for the highly successful Airbus Military CN235 tactical airlifter family, more than 250 of which are already in operation by 27 countries. EADS North America is also supplying spares provisioning, ground support equipment and associated training for the Mexican Navy aircraft.

"We're proud that the HC-144A has proven to be such a powerful asset in the U.S. Coast Guard mission to protect the security of our nation," said Sean O'Keefe, EADS North America Chairman and CEO. "Likewise, we're proud to have served America's national interests by delivering a similarly important capability to the Mexican Navy."

The CN235-300 MPAs enhance Mexico's ability to support the Merida Initiative, a cooperative security arrangement between the U.S., Mexico and Central American countries. Missions for the new aircraft include drug interdiction, homeland security, search and rescue, cargo and personnel transport, military readiness, and maritime environmental protection.

The MPA configuration of the CN235 incorporates the latest technology developed for surveillance over the sea. The combination of a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) system and search radar allows the 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 developed by Airbus Military and ensures that the extensive data gathered by the aircraft's onboard sensors can be easily used by the crew to execute their mission.

Mexique Navy lance la production drone



Après 18 mois d'essais, la Marine est en marche au Mexique et a commencé sa propre production de drones, tel que publié dans le magazine spécialisé de la défense de Jane et de sécurité.
Pour sa part, la Marine du Mexique (Semar) créée avec un design propre et des technologies, en Juin de ses trois premiers drones ou avions sans pilote (UAV, pour son sigle en anglais), avec laquelle renforcer ses opérations de renseignement, lutte contre la criminalité organisée et civils d'aide en cas de catastrophe, tel qu'enregistré par l'Agora journal.
Douze scientifiques, des ingénieurs et des experts navals de l'Institut de recherche et de développement de Semar font partie de l'équipe qui a participé à la conception et la mise en œuvre du projet a débuté en Décembre 2010 et constitue la base pour le développement futur des grands drones de patrouille et contrôler plus de 11.000 miles de côtes du Mexique.
Pour l'instant, le projet comprend la construction de 12 véhicules aériens sans pilote (UAV) ou un plus grand avion trois ou quatre mètres d'envergure, pour finalement atteindre l'une des 12 mètres.
Le Semar dispose actuellement de deux petits véhicules aériens de ce type: l'UAV tactique (un petit UAV) et le mini-Vant (un drone micro), qui soutiennent les opérations des unités marines, dit Jane.
En plus des avions, le système comprend une station terrienne portable de contrôle qui peut transmettre des images à un ordinateur aussi transportable.
Le drone tactique a une portée de six kilomètres et une autonomie de 80 minutes, tandis que le mini-VATG atteint seulement une résistance maximale à 30 minutes de vol.
En outre, le plus grand drone opérationnel a une envergure de 2,5 mètres et 1,72 mètres de long, les deux sont construits en fibre de carbone et fibre de verre; fonctionner avec le système de propulsion électrique et des batteries rechargeables.
Avec 1,78 mètres de long et d'échelle 1,33, le mini-VATG atteint la plage mile. Cela ne nécessite pas une piste pour décoller, pas de train d'atterrissage, ne sont tout simplement propulsé à la main et a atterri sur un sol meuble ou de l'herbe.
La petite taille et la portabilité du système permet un déploiement rapide d'un oeil dans le ciel pour obtenir des données à partir de différents scénarios de guerre, en particulier en cas d'attaque ou lors d'un incendie, de jour comme de nuit.
Plasma Agora informations que les petits aéronefs sont équipés d'un zoom 36X caméra vidéo amovible et sa capacité à balayer les mouvements panoramiques (panoramique) et angulaire (inclinaison), de la vidéo et des photographies exprimer l'unité de terrain en temps réel.
Ces informations permettront aux unités tactiques d'exploiter l'effet de surprise de la précision de fonctionnement contre le crime organisé. "A 1.500 pieds et la taille de l'avion est très difficile d'être vu de la terre, et en attendant le commandant de l'unité tactique prend des décisions basées sur des informations qui se produit à l'heure et les actions sont plus précis,« une drone ingénieur de projet de la construction, qui a maintenu Agora publication anonyme, compte tenu du niveau de projet sécurité nationale.
Le Semar a également développé un programme de formation de 45 jours pour les opérateurs du système de drones, qui se compose généralement d'une équipe de trois personnes: chef de projet pilote, des analystes et des images de synthèse.
Le programme, selon Jane, sont parvenus à un investissement de 160.000 dollars et a été menée par l'Institut de recherche et de développement de Semar, basée à Antón Lizardo, l'État de Veracruz.
Les États publication mêmes que chaque système coûtera environ un peu plus de $ 75.000 et l'industrie Semar serait dans la production de six équipes.
