Navy to buy five E-2D radar aircraft from Northrop Grumman in $781.5 million contract
January 25, 2012
 Posted by John Keller
PATUXENT RIVER NAS, Md., 25 Jan. 2012. U.S. Navy leaders are buying five models of the Navy's most advanced carrier-based maritime patrol aircraft, the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye from the Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:NOC) Aerospace Systems segment in Bethpage, N.Y., under terms of a $781.5 million contract modification announced Tuesday. Officials of the Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., are ordering the advanced radar aircraft surveillance as part of Lot 4 of the E-2D low-rate initial production program.
The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye has a completely new radar with mechanical and electronic scanning; integrated all glass cockpit; advanced identification friend or foe system; new mission computer and tactical workstations; electronic support measures enhancements; and modernized communications and data link suite.
The E-2D is designed to be the Navy carrier battle group's "digital quarterback" to sweep ahead of attacking aircraft, manage the mission, and protect aircraft carriers and their support vessels by providing expanded battlespace awareness, and multi-sensor fusion. The E-2D made its first carrier landing in February 2011.
The sophisticated surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft has true 360-degree radar coverage, all-weather tracking; open-architecture, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based hardware and software; network enabled capability; multi-mission flexibility ranging from command and control through missile defense to border security.
The Northrop Grumman Corp. Aerospace Systems segment in Bethpage, N.Y., will build the advanced E-2D Hawkeye aircraft with partners BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, L3 Communications, and Rolls Royce.
Aircraft designers also will do work on the new aircraft in Syracuse, N.Y.; St. Augustine, Fla.; El Segundo, Calif.; Indianapolis; Menlo Park, Calif.; and Rolling Meadows, Ill., and should be finished by May 2015.
For more information contact Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems online at www.as.northropgrumman.com, or Naval Air Systems Command at www.navair.navy.mil.

NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. — Marking significant advancement in its maritime surveillance program, the U.S. Navy recently began test flights on a radar system destined for an unmanned aircraft.
The Navy completed the first flight of the Multi-Function Active Sensor (MFAS) radar system, the primary sensor on the MQ-4C Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System.
The Dec. 16 two-hour inaugural flight was conducted on a Northrop Grumman surrogate Gulfstream aircraft at a California test site. This was the first in a series of MFAS test flights scheduled through October as the program matures. Thirty test-bed aircraft flights for early MFAS trials are planned. The tests will focus on maturing the performance of maritime surface surveillance modes of the radar
“The MFAS radar system’s ability to detect, classify and track multiple targets simultaneously will make it a highly capable sensor for the Fleet,” said Patrick Ellis, BAMS UAS mission systems lead. “The information we will be able to capture using this radar system was something we could only imagine not too long ago. Seeing the system in action provides additional proof that this asset will be invaluable to our warfighters.”
The MFAS is a full 360-degree Actively Electronically Scanned Array radar system designed to provide persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) coverage. It accomplishes this at long ranges in both open ocean and regions close to shore.
“This milestone is a significant step forward for the program,” Ellis said. “The road leading to MFAS first flight included challenges, but seeing this physical proof in our preparation for the upcoming test and evaluation phase of the program brings a new boost of energy and excitement to the team.”
Initial MFAS radar testing took place in early 2011 to verify operation of the signal transmission path and to complete health and safety checks.
The MQ-4C BAMS program is on track to deliver initial operating capability to the fleet by fiscal 2015, including a scheduled first flight this year. BAMS will operate as an adjunct to the P-8A Poseidon and is a key piece of the overall replacement strategy for the P-3C Orion.

- Le sous-marin nucléaire américain "Annapolis" a franchi le Canal de Suez et gagné la mer Rouge
Le sous-marin nucléaire américain Annapolis accompagné du destroyer USS Momsen ont franchi le canal de Suez et gagné la mer Rouge, a annoncé lundi le portail égyptien Alamat.
Lors du passage des navires américains, l'administration du canal a pris des mesures de sécurité exceptionnelles, en interrompant le trafic des ferries et le trafic automobile sur le pont qui enjambe le canal.
Le point de destination des deux navires n'est pas annoncé, mais leur entrée en mer Rouge coïncide avec l'apogée des tensions entre Washington et Téhéran, qui a menacé de fermer unilatéralement le détroit d'Ormuz à la suite de l'adoption des sanctions contre ses exportations pétrolières.
La Marine américaine a déjà réuni dans le Golfe persique un nombre important de navires, dont les porte-avions Carl Vinson et Abraham Lincoln. Un autre porte-avions, l'USS Enterprise est attendu dans la région au mois de mars.

Culminates with weapon hitting small, fast-moving ship
09:27 GMT, February 3, 2012 TUCSON, Ariz. | The U.S. Navy completed developmental testing (DT) of the Raytheon Company Joint Standoff Weapon C-1. The conclusion of DT brings U.S. and allied warfighters one step closer to being able to engage moving ships as far as 60 nautical miles (70 statute miles) away with an air-launched weapon. Developmental testing finished when the JSOW C-1 struck a small, fast-moving ship target during the weapon's second flight test.
"The JSOW C-1 is a network-enabled weapon which will be capable of receiving third party target updates in-flight and strike a precise point on a moving ship using its autonomous terminal seeker," said Cmdr. Samuel Hanaki of the U.S. Navy's Precision Strike Weapons program office. "In addition to marking the completion of DT, this test keeps the program on track for reaching initial operational capability in 2013."
During the test, which met all objectives, the JSOW C-1 was released from an F/A-18F Super Hornet and guided to a small, fast moving ship target located 25 nautical miles (approximately 29 statute miles) from the launch point. The JSOW C-1 provided weapon in-flight track and bomb hit indication status messages via the Link-16 network. The weapon also incorporated in-flight target updates provided by a second Super Hornet's Raytheon APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array radar that was 10 nautical miles behind the Super Hornet that launched the weapon.
"The 280 Raytheon employees in Tucson, Ariz., and hundreds of supplier employees across the U.S. worked hard to make this test a success and demonstrate JSOW C-1's ability to operate on the Link-16 network," said Phyllis McEnroe, JSOW program director for Raytheon Missile Systems.
About the Joint Standoff Weapon
JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-ground weapons that employs an integrated GPS- inertial navigation system and terminal imaging infrared seeker. JSOW C-1 adds moving maritime target capability and the two-way Strike Common Weapon Datalink to the combat-proven weapon.
• JSOW C-1 is the world's first networked weapon, and has a range of more than 100 kilometers (more than 60 nautical miles).
• The U.S. Navy completed the first free-flight test of JSOW C-1 on July 26, 2011, and the second test on Nov. 30, 2011.
• Raytheon is using company funding to develop a powered version of the JSOW that has the potential to fly more than 300 nautical miles.

Pentagon plan reduces proposed buy of Boeing P-8As
Feb 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy would buy 10 fewer Boeing Co P-8A Poseidon maritime surveillance planes under the Pentagon's proposed budget for fiscal 2013, saving $5.2 billion through fiscal 2017, according to Pentagon budget documents.
"Due to changing priorities within the department and funding constraints, the department deemed that it was a manageable risk to reduce P-8A procurement by 10 aircraft from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2017," the Pentagon's comptroller said in an overview.

Navy Discloses $811 Million Overrun on Gerald Ford Carrier
The cost of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford has increased by $811 million, or about 16 percent, over its $5.16 billion target price, the Navy said.
The overrun, up from the $650 million acknowledged in April, was disclosed today in a Navy document highlighting the service’s share of the Defense Department’s fiscal 2013 plan. The Navy documents indicate the service estimates a worst-case overrun of as much as $1.1 billion.
“To address fact-of-life cost increases as well as the government’s share of the ship construction variance to date, the Department added $811 million to the Gerald R. Ford budget,” through 2017, according to the document.
The carrier is being built by Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (HII) under a “cost-plus, incentive-fee” contract in which the Navy pays for most of the overruns. Even so, the service’s efforts to control costs are putting the company’s $579.2 million profit at risk, according to the Navy.
The Navy said last month that Huntington Ingalls of Newport News, Virginia, is being docked millions of dollars in profit because of the cost overrun. It didn’t disclose the overrun amount or Huntington’s share.
The company didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail today seeking comment.
Huntington Ingalls is continuing “to see improvements in our performance” on the carrier, Beci Brenton, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an e-mail last month.

Washington veut désarmer 7 croiseurs du type Ticonderoga d'ici 2014
Un croiseur du type Ticonderoga
crédits : US Navy - Mate 3rd Class Michael D. Blackwell
|
15/02/2012
L'US Navy pourrait désarmer de manière anticipée pas moins de 7 croiseurs lance-missiles en 2013 et 2014. C'est en tous cas le souhait de l'administration Obama, qui a présenté ses orientations budgétaires. Le plan prévoit de retirer du service, l'an prochain, les USS Cowpens (CG 63), USS Anzio (CG 68), USS Vicksburg (CG 69) et USS Port Royal (CG 70), opérationnels depuis 1991, 1992 et 1994. Puis, en 2014, il s'agirait de désarmer les USS Gettysburg (CG 64), USS Chosin (CG 65) et USS Hue City, mis en service en 1991. Ces désarmements s'inscrivent dans le cadre des réductions budgétaires souhaitées par Washington. Ils portent, ainsi, sur des bâtiments ayant une vingtaine d'années et dont le potentiel pouvait encore permettre une utilisation pendant encore une décennie. On notera que les croiseurs visés par ce plan font partie des plus récents de la classe Ticonderoga. Mais les premiers bâtiments de la série, mis en service à partir de 1987, ont bénéficié d'une refonte à partir de 2007, qui justifie leur maintien en service.
Si le plan de désarmement est accepté, la classe Ticonderoga tombera donc, fin 2014, à 15 exemplaires, contre 22 actuellement et 27 à l'origine. M&M _________________  | |

- Lincoln Launches First Sorties Supporting War in Afghanistan
February 16, 2012Navy News|by MC2 Jonathan Idle
USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, At Sea -- The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group (ALCSG) launched its first combat sorties this deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Feb. 16.
The ALCSG, which was last in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR) in March 2011, is comprised of the most effective collection of assets in the Navy, said Capt. David Silkey, commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2.
"Having been deployed out here twice in a year and a half, we've played a huge role in the Navy's persistent presence in the AOR over the last couple of years," Silkey said. "Another trip out here is just business as usual for our guys. U.S. Navy assets have been in this region for more than 60 years, and we'll be here for decades to come, even long after the OEF mission is complete."
Lt. Troy Teasdale, a pilot assigned to the Bounty Hunters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2, said the OEF mission suits the professionals of CVW 2 quite well.
"We train our entire careers to properly execute what is asked of us," Teasdale said. "All of our aircrew are prepared to support coalition forces working hard to ensure security and stability throughout the region. We have the best maintenance team and aviators in the world to ensure we accomplish this demanding mission."
Rear Adm. Mike Shoemaker, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 9, said the strike group is well-equipped to assume the challenges of the OEF mission."
The strike group's surface ships and aircraft squadrons are all manned, trained and ready," Shoemaker said. "We've done the preparation, now it's time to get to work."
CSG 9 consists of Lincoln, CVW 2, guided-missile cruiser USS Cape St. George (CG 71) and embarked Destroyer Squadron 9, comprised of guided-missile destroyers USS Momsen (DDG 92) and USS Sterett (DDG 104). The CVW 2 squadrons are the Bounty Hunters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2; the Vigilantes of VFA-151; the Kestrels of VFA-137; the Blue Blasters of VFA-34; the Sun Kings of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 116; the Lancers of Electronic Attack Squadron 131; the Golden Falcons of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 12; the Saberhawks of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 77; and the Providers of Carrier Logistics Support Squadron 30.
The ALCSG deployed Dec. 7, 2011, and is operating in the 5th Fleet AOR conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Following deployment, Lincoln will change homeports from Everett, Wash., to Norfolk, Va., for a periodic refueling complex overhaul.

Boeing Completes F/A-18E/F, EA-18G Multi-Year Procurement II Deliveries Ahead of Schedule
Boeing today announced that it has completed delivery of 257 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighters and EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft to the U.S. Navy. Each aircraft was delivered ahead of schedule and within the contract budget.
F-18E Super Hornet of the US Navy
The aircraft were delivered to the Navy from 2007 through 2011 under a multi-year procurement (MYP) contract awarded to Boeing on Dec. 29, 2003. The Navy purchased the aircraft during fiscal years 2005-2009. Multi-year procurement contracts provide a stable production environment that enables manufacturers and suppliers to reduce cost through bulk purchasing and productivity enhancements.
”Super Hornets and Growlers provide unmatched, proven and affordable capability for U.S. Navy carrier strike groups around the globe,” said Mike Gibbons, vice president, Boeing F/A-18 and EA-18 Programs. “Boeing and its more than 1,900 Super Hornet and Growler suppliers are committed to ensuring this nation’s warfighters have the advanced capability they need, on time and on budget, as promised.”
The initial MYP II contract award included 210 F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft. Through fiscal year 2009, 47 more aircraft were added to the contract, including 24 F/A-18Fs acquired by the Royal Australian Air Force under a Foreign Military Sales agreement with the U.S. Navy.
On Sept. 28, 2010, the Navy awarded Boeing the MYP III contract for delivery of 66 F/A-18E/Fs and 58 EA-18Gs, to be purchased through 2013.
Boeing delivered 210 Super Hornets to the Navy during MYP I, which spanned fiscal years 2000 through 2004. Procuring aircraft through the first two multi-year contracts generated $1.7 billion in savings for the Navy. MYP III is projected to generate more than $600 million in savings, with total savings of more than $2.3 billion across the three F/A-18E/F and EA-18G contracts.
The Boeing Super Hornet is a multirole aircraft, able to perform virtually every mission in the tactical spectrum, including air superiority, day/night strike with precision-guided weapons, fighter escort, close air support, suppression of enemy air defenses, maritime strike, reconnaissance, forward air control and tanker missions. Boeing has delivered more than 480 F/A-18E/Fs to the U.S. Navy. Every Super Hornet produced has been delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. The F/A-18E/F has conducted extensive combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Boeing EA-18G Growler is the only air combat platform that delivers full-spectrum airborne electronic attack capability along with the targeting and self-defense capabilities derived from the Navy’s frontline fighter, the F/A-18E/F Block II Super Hornet. A derivative of the two-seat F/A-18F Block II, the EA-18G’s highly flexible design enables warfighters to operate either from the deck of an aircraft carrier or from land-based airfields. The EA-18G was a critical platform employed during NATO operations in Libya in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn in 2011.

07:46 GMT, February 24, 2012 PASCAGOULA, Miss. | Huntington Ingalls Industries announced Feb. 23 that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division has received a $70 million cost-plus-fixed-fee advance procurement contract modification from the U.S. Navy to provide long-lead materials for LPD 27, the 11th amphibious transport dock of the USS San Antonio (LPD 17) class.
The funds awarded to Ingalls will be used to purchase long-lead-time materials and major equipment in support of the new ship, including main engines and diesel generators and other equipment such as electrical switchboards, deck equipment and fire extinguishing systems.
The work will be performed at the company's Pascagoula facility. This is the fourth advance procurement contract for LPD 27. The first contract was awarded in October 2010.
"We're building successes in the LPD program, and this award continues our momentum in establishing necessary prep work for the construction of LPD 27," said Doug Lounsberry, vice president and program manager, LPD program, Ingalls Shipbuilding. "The award allows our supply chain management to purchase essential equipment so our shipbuilders will be ready to effectively meet our schedule commitments with our Navy customer."
The 11 ships of the LPD 17 class are a key element of the Navy's ability to project power ashore. Collectively they functionally replace more than 41 ships (the LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113 and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships), providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern, sea-based platforms that are networked, survivable and built to operate with 21st century platforms, such as the MV-22 Osprey and amphibious assault vessels.
The San Antonio-class ships are 684 feet long and 105 feet wide and displace approximately 25,000 tons. Their principal mission is to deploy the combat and support elements of Marine Expeditionary Units and Brigades. The ships can carry up to 800 troops and have the capability of transporting and debarking landing craft air cushion (LCAC) or conventional landing crafts, augmented by helicopters or vertical take-off and landing aircraft such as the MV-22. These ships will support amphibious assault, special operations or expeditionary warfare missions through the first half of the 21st century.

Navy pilots in good condition after F/A-18F Super Hornet crashes
Two pilots are in good condition after their single F/A-18F Super Hornet crashed this afternoon during a training flight about 30 miles northeast of Fallon in an unpopulated, dry lakebed.
The pilots ejected safely from the aircraft and were recovered by a U.S. Navy helicopter shortly after the incident. Neither of the pilots sustained major injuries, and they have been transported to Naval Air Station Fallon for a complete medical evaluation.
The pilots are attending the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor course conducted by the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center.
The cause of the crash is unknown and a Navy investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the accident.

Austal to build more JHSVs for US Navy
27 Feb 2012
The United States Navy has exercised contract options funding the construction of the eighth and ninth Joint High Speed Vessels (JHSVs).
The contract is valued at US$321.7 million, taking the total value of JHSV work awarded to Austal to approximately US$1.45 billion.
The options increase Austal's total order backlog to nearly $2.2 billion, with shipbuilding work secured for the US operation through to mid-2016 and to mid-2015 for the Australian shipyard.
Austal's chief executive officer, Andrew Bellamy, said the new JHSV contract options contributed to stability and future growth.
“These substantial, multi-year projects provide predictable revenue and workload. That enables us to plan our production approach to deliver high quality, affordable ships in the most efficient way possible and to make and implement medium and long-term strategies,” he said.
“Each new contract award also reflects the US Navy's confidence in Austal and its products.“
Austal also recently christened a second Independence-variant 127 metre Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) for the US Navy.
Austal's other main government prime contract is for the design, construction and in service support of eight Cape Class Patrol Boats for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
Detailed design work is being finalised, with the first boat expected to be delivered in March 2013 and the last in late 2015.
The vessels will be built at the Australian shipyard.

Le Prophéte (saw) a dit: Les Hommes Les meilleurs sont ceux qui sont les plus utiles aux autres
The Navy has just gotten $210 million worth of high speed cats for $35 million. The U.S. Maritime Administration reports that it has now transferred the former Hawaii super ferries Huakai and Alakai to the U.S. Navy and that the Navy provided $35 million to the Maritime Administration for both vessels.
