- US Navy Successfully Test Fires Tomahawk Missile
The US Navy has successfully test fired a block IV-E Tomahawk land attack missile off the southern coast of California into China Lake test range.
During the operational test launch, the missile was fired from the navy's Los Angeles Class attack submarine USS Cheyennein in cooperation with the commander of US 7th Fleet and members of Naval Special Warfare Group 3 (NSWG-3).
Test coordinators used the tactical Tomahawk command and control system's ability to receive real-time targeting coordinates and applied them to a tactical Tomahawk missile in flight.
7th Fleet Tomahawk strike coordinator Master Chief Fire Controlman David Brewer said the test launch significantly improved the navy's ability to shape the battlefield and project power from the sea.
NSWG-3 provided updated target data for the fleet to modify the flight path, allowing the missile to hit the target accurately. naval-technology | |

U.S. Navy: Extending Old F-18s Will Reduce Fighter Gap
By JOHN REED
Published: 24 May 2010 17:33
Keeping its oldest F/A/-18 Hornets flying through 2020 is the U.S. Navy's main weapon against a decline in fighter numbers, the Navy's acting chief of air warfare told reporters May 24.
The U.S. Navy expects a shortfall of up to 177 fighter jets by 2017 unless it either keeps older F-18s flying longer or speeds production of the new F-35. (U.S. MARINE CORPS PHOTO)
With the F-35 program delayed by at least one year, the Navy is "totally focused, [airplane] bureau number by bureau number" on keeping its oldest Hornets in the air while hashing through other options as it crafts its 2012 Program Objective Memorandum, said Rear Adm. Mike Manazir during a press conference at the Pentagon.
Manazir would not detail those other options.
The Navy has 1,180 tactical fighters. The oldest ones will be retired by 2012 unless they receive service life extensions.
The problem will peak in 2017; the exact number will range from 100 to 177 fighters, depending on whether the F-35 arrives on schedule, Manazir said.
Manazir said he believes the Defense Department and Lockheed Martin will have the carrier-based F-35C ready for its first carrier deployment in 2017.
Earlier this year, the sea service announced that it was pushing the F-35 Initial Operating Capability date back by two years to 2016.
The service will start training its first F-35 instructor pilots on the C-model jets at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., in 2012 and stand up the first F-35 fleet replacement squadron in 2014, Manazir said.
The Navy has yet to determine how many of its 680 F-35s will be carrier variants and how many will be F-35B short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) variants for the U.S. Marine Corps.
"The Marine Corps is committed to an all-STOVL force," Manazir said. Therefore, "we are in discussions with the Marine Corps on how we would" integrate the two services' fighters on a carrier.
"The F-35C has longer range, more cargo capacity, and is optimized for carrier operations," he said. "The STOVL [model] is designed differently and so it has slightly different characteristics, so we're in discussions right now about how you put those two together."
The Marines' F-35s will replace their F/A-18 Hornets, which fly from aircraft carriers, and their AV-8B Harrier jump jets, which operate from the smaller amphibious assault ships.
The press conference was convened to underline the Navy's staunch support of the F-35 program after months of speculation that the sea service wants to buy more than the planned 515 Super Hornets, instead of F-35s. Earlier this month, the service said it would buy the remaining planned 124 F/A-18EF Super Hornets and their EA-18 Growler electronic warfare variants, and no more.
Last week, the U.S. House Armed Service Committee gave the Navy an eight extra Super Hornets on top of the 124 in the committee's markup of the 2011 defense authorization bill.
Manazir also toed the Pentagon line on the alternate engine debate, supporting Defense Secretary Robert Gates' stance that the F-35 program needs just one engine. In last week's markup, the committee ordered the Pentagon to fund the development of the GE and Rolls Royce-built F136 alternate engine for the fighter.
"No matter how many engines are procured for the airplane, the Navy will only deploy one type of engine for the F-35 that we take to sea," Manazir said. "That optimized our logistics and supply chains." defensenews | |

- FRCSE delivers first S-3 Viking to test squadron
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — After completing extensive maintenance and repairs that presented many challenges, Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) turned over the first of three S-3B Viking aircraft to Naval Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30 April 14.
VX-30 Chief Test Pilot Cmdr. John Rousseau and Viking Training Officer Lt. Christian Pedersen based at Point Mugu, Calif., performed the acceptance flight check. They both were very satisfied with the aircraft that will support the squadron’s local and worldwide test events.
 “We were pleasantly surprised, especially with a plane that has been out of service for so long. It flew well,” said Rousseau. “It’s a testament to FRCSE employees’ steadfastness to the work.”
Even so, the first aircraft took more than a year to complete the Planned Maintenance Intervals (PMI) 1, 2, and 3 that will add five to six years of service life to the aircraft before another PMI is due.
In March 2009, FRCSE inducted three Vikings sometimes referred to as War Hoovers for the engine’s unique, low-pitched sound.
The jets were last used by the “Checkmates” of the Sea Control Squadron (VS) 22 for five months at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq in 2008. During the squadron’s only land-based operation, the aircrews flew numerous combat missions in harsh desert conditions.
When Aircraft Examiner Jan Booth did the initial evaluation to determine the level of maintenance needed, he was surprised by what he found.
“There was a lot of corrosion we didn’t expect to find, especially from dirt and sand intrusion,” he said. “The aircraft was torn down to basically nothing. We did a lot of hard research to find the right parts.”
The S-3 Overhaul and Repair Supervisor James Hines said aircraft mechanics with S-3 experience were hired, and the team had to procure the tooling and fixtures needed to start the project.
“I’ve got a good crew,” he said, “and they really know what they’re doing.”
FRCSE S-3 Program Manager Tony Pudoff said the Viking was in worse shape than expected. Yet, the team overcame the many obstacles they faced along the way.
“I attribute the quality of work to our artisans and especially the great work performed by our final paint shop,” said Pudoff. “Requests for the aircraft as a static display and for a fly-by were made before the engines could cool down in California.”
Pudoff said old timers in the S-3 community like FRCSE Integrated Maintenance Program Coordinator Harry Mattox and FRCSE S-3 Planner and Estimator Don Lockwood agree it is the best looking S-3 they’ve ever seen.
Lockwood worked closely with the squadron to ensure the paint scheme was to their liking.
“We retained the original high-gloss grey and white paint scheme, but we added the black lettering and yellow trim and the squadron’s emblem on the tail,” he said.
Mattox, a self-professed jack-of-all-trades, knows the Viking inside and out. He was serving as a Navy maintenance master chief petty officer in 1973 when Lockheed turned over the aircraft for testing.
“I love this airplane and I want to see the program succeed,” he said. “Overall, the first aircraft was fantastic, and we are going to make the second and third one even better. They (VX-30) are going to have a really good product over the long haul.”
In a message to the S-3 team the following day, VX-30 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Stephen Tedford praised the NAVAIR and FRCSE S-3 teams for their hard work and extraordinary efforts they put into the project.
“She is a great looking aircraft, and we will take good care of her,” he said. “I know there is much more work to be done on the remaining two airframes, but I wanted you to know how much your efforts are appreciated.”
He said the S-3 plays a vital role in the squadron’s mission to support its customers at test facilities and ranges throughout the world.
“With the capabilities of the APS-137 radar, we can execute our mission more effectively and cover a larger area than ever before,” he said. “The S-3 ensures the West Coast Sea Test Range will continue to provide outstanding and dependable services to its customers for years to come.”
Tedford acknowledged the individual efforts of Pudoff, Mattox and NAVAIR Program Manager Air (PMA) 290 Bob Millerick, the S-3 acting department head who provided engineering and logistics support and management oversight.
“It took ingenuity for this FRCSE team to integrate three individual depot-level inspections into one evolution to maximize the work,” said Millerick. “They choreographed the work into one unique and repeatable evolution. It is amazing what a small number of resourceful people working in a small space can accomplish.”
During a site visit in March, NAVAIR PMA 290 Deputy Director for International Programs Cmdr. Kurt Muller said the Viking with its upgraded radar “can stay on station (airborne) for a longer time” and will enhance the squadron’s capabilities.
When VS-22 was decommissioned on Jan. 29, 2009 at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, the VX-30 “Bloodhounds” wanted the Viking for its sophisticated APS-137 ISAR imaging radar to upgrade their crucial sea and air range clearance and surveillance capabilities
VX-30 is the Navy’s principal flight and ground test support activity in support of Naval Air Systems Command, NASA, the National Defense Agency and foreign allies.
With a range of more than 2,800 nautical miles and a ceiling height of 40,000 feet, the Viking is an important patrol and reconnaissance aircraft for potential foreign military customers worldwide.
“They want to see the U.S. Navy is still flying these aircraft,” said Muller.
The second aircraft is scheduled for delivery in September with the final delivery set for December.
The squadron uses various aircraft like the heavily modified NP-3 “Billboard” Orion for clearing the Sea Range, DOD’s largest overwater missile test range with 36,000 square miles of controlled sea and airspace off the coast of Southern California.
In 1969, the Department of Defense awarded Lockheed the contract to develop the S-3 designed to incorporate the latest concepts in sensors and computer-based data processing, display and weapons control systems. The S-3 Viking replaced the old reciprocating-engine-powered S-2 Tracker.

U.S. Navy Needs F-35’s Capabilities, Admiral Says
May 26, 2010 by Marcel van Leeuwen · Leave a Comment
WASHINGTON, May 25, 2010 – The Navy needs the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter’s fifth-generation capabilities, the service’s acting director of air warfare said yesterday.
Navy Rear Adm. Michael C. Manazir spoke to reporters because he wanted to “completely dispel the rumor that the Navy is soft on F-35C.”
The F-35C is the aircraft-carrier version of the joint strike fighter. The F-35A model is for the Air Force, and the F-35B will be a vertical take-off and landing model for the Marines.
The FA-18E and FA-18F Super Hornets are great airplanes, Manazir said, but they do not have the capabilities that the F-35C’s will bring to the Navy. Delays in the joint strike fighter program and the cost increases associated with them caused some supposition that the Navy would turn to the FA-18s, he added.
The Navy has had the F-35C on its horizon for more than a decade, the admiral said. In that time, the FA-18’s capabilities have grown, with the latest aircraft – the E, F and G models – reaching the fourth-generation airframe’s limits. “We need to move into the F-35C to realize our vision of tactical air coming off of carriers,” he said.
The joint strike fighter brings stealth capabilities, advanced sensor and data fusion, and a systems approach to warfighting, Manazir said. “We’re completely committed to the F-35C,” he added, noting that staying with the Super Hornet would put the United States at a disadvantage against a near-peer competitor.
Still, the admiral said, the Super Hornet program is not ending, just yet. The Navy wants to buy 124 of the aircraft through fiscal 2013 to bring its number of Super Hornets to 515. Beginning in fiscal 2016, he said, aircraft carriers will deploy with a mix of Super Hornets and F-35C’s. The Navy needs 44 strike fighters per flight deck, he added.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates ordered a restructuring of the joint strike fighter program last year. That effort allowed the Navy to move an additional aircraft into flight tests, and to buy a software line “that gives us additional integration capability and added risk reduction in software, which is always the toughest thing to do in a new program,” Manazir said. Operational testing will move to April 2016, and this will fulfill all prerequisites for initial operational capability, he told reporters.
The first deployment of the new aircraft will be December 2016, with the second deployment in February 2017.
The Navy faces a shortfall of fighter aircraft, the admiral noted. “Without mitigations, … [the shortfall] is about 177 total Department of the Navy airplanes,” he said. “That peaks in 2017.”
Mitigation efforts bring that number down to about 100, he said. That could drop further, he added, if the demands on the fleet lessen – a conclusion the admiral said he is not going to make, given the uncertain times. “We are focused on addressing that shortfall,” he said.
The Navy does not have a shortfall in strike aircraft today, Manazir said, but the expected wear-out date for its inventory begins in fiscal 2012.
The 1,180 strike aircraft now in the Navy’s inventory fall within the scope of the service’s maintenance capabilities, while providing the planes needed for a rotational force, the admiral said.

- U.S. Navy Spends $640 Million on Shipboard EW System
07:39 GMT, May 28, 2010 NEWTOWN, Conn. | Over the next 10 years, the U.S. Navy will spend $640 million developing and purchasing upgrades for the SLQ-32 shipboard electronic warfare suite, according to a newly updated report from Forecast International. The SLQ-32 equips most warships in U.S. Navy inventory. In addition, the Navy intends to equip future warships, including the DDG-1000, with the SLQ-32.
The U.S. Navy has decided to upgrade the system in a spiral plan that includes four blocks. Each block will add capabilities such as electronic attack and infrared detection to the system, as well as improve the underlying technology behind the system.
General Dynamics was awarded the contract for Block 1 upgrades to the SLQ-32. Funding for Block 1 upgrades is expected to continue through 2012. Block 1 funding will begin to decline as funding for Block 2 begins to increase.

09/06/2010
Soixante-et-unième destroyer lance-missiles du type Arleigh Burke, le futur DDG 111 a été baptisé USS Spruance samedi dernier aux chantiers Bath Iron Works, dans l'Etat du Maine. Le bâtiment reprend le nom d'un célèbre amiral américain, qui s'est distingué durant la seconde guerre mondiale par son action au cours de la bataille de Midway, puis de la capture des îles Gilbert et Marshall, des Mariannes, d'Iwo Jima et d'Okinawa. Raymond Spruance fut également l'un des artisans de la défaite de la marine japonaise, en 1944, lors de la bataille de la mer des Philippines. Commandant la flotte du Pacifique en 1945 et 1946, il fut président du Naval War College jusqu'en 1948, puis ambassadeur aux Philippines de 1952 à 1955. Né à Baltimore en 1886, l'amiral Spruance s'est étant à Pebble Beach en 1969.
Pour honorer sa mémoire, l'US Navy avait donné son nom à une classe de 31 destroyers dont la tête de série, l'USS Spruance (DD 963), fut admise au service actif en 1975. Tous les bâtiments de cette classe ont, aujourd'hui, été retirés de la flotte américaine. M&M | |

- First F-35B Aircraft Joins US Navy Fleet
The US Navy has received its first mission-systems-equipped Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II test jet at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.
A short take-off / vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft, the BF-4 is the fourth F-35B to arrive and begin testing at the naval air station.
Lockheed Martin F-35 programme integration executive vice-president Tom Burbage said the mission systems aircraft featured advanced aerodynamic capabilities and flying qualities, along with the most capable transcendent avionics capability.
Other features of the STOVL aircraft include a next-generation sensor suit capable of collecting vast amounts of information that can be presented on state-of-the-art cockpit and helmet displays.
With the sensor suite, the pilot can make faster and more effective tactical decisions and transfer information to other aircraft as well as maritime and ground forces.
Lockheed Martin is developing the F-35 in cooperation with Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.
The US Navy is expected to induct a fifth F-35B with the first navy carrier variant in 2011 at Patuxent River naval-technology | |

Boeing P-8A Poseidon Completes 1st In-flight Test of Mission Systems
SEATTLE, June 10, 2010 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] P-8A Poseidon aircraft T2 successfully completed the program’s first mission systems test flight on June 8 in Seattle. T2 will be used to verify integrated mission systems performance during flights in Seattle and at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md.
During the three-hour flight, the joint Boeing and Navy test team exercised mission computing on all five operator workstations and successfully demonstrated key systems — including acoustics, mission planning, tactical data-link, communications, electronic support measures and flight test instrumentation — for the first time.
“This successful flight moves us a step closer to getting the Poseidon and its next-generation radar and sensors into the hands of the warfighter,” said Chuck Dabundo, Boeing vice president and P-8 program manager. “Future flights will demonstrate the state-of-the-art systems that will provide the Navy superior performance well into the 21st century.”
T2 is one of five test aircraft that are being assembled and tested as part of the U.S. Navy System Development and Demonstration contract Boeing received in 2004. Boeing’s T1 airworthiness-test aircraft entered flight testing in October 2009 and arrived at the Navy’s Patuxent River facility in April 2010.
The Navy plans to purchase 117 P-8A anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft to replace its P-3 fleet. Initial operational capability is planned for 2013.

Mercury Computer Systems will provide scalable multicomputing products and services for the US Navy broad area maritime surveillance (BAMS) programme under a contract awarded by Northrop Grumman.
Under the $4.7m contract, the company will provide PowerStream 7000 multicomputers for the BAMS unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to process the synthetic aperture radar images.
The BAMS UAS is a multimission maritime aircraft specifically designed to support a range of all-weather maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Mercury worldwide sales vice-president Brian Hoerl said the PowerStream multicomputers combined the power of FPGA processors with massive input / output and real-time reconfiguration to deliver enhanced performance and reliability for applications. naval-technology | |
