- Des bâtiments de défense anti-aérienne ... sans missiles anti-aérien
Publié le 14 mars 2009.
Le National Audit Office (NAO), l’équivalent britannique de la Cour des Comptes, a indiqué que les nouveaux destroyers Type 45 de la Royal Navy auraient 2 ans de retard. Le budget prévu a été dépassé de 1,5 milliard de £ pour 6 exemplaires.
Le NAO a aussi indiqué que les navires prendraient au départ la mer sans leur système de missiles anti-aériens à cause de retard dans la mise au point.
Le ministère a indiqué que, après des retards au début du programme, il respectait désormais le calendrier.
Les destroyers sont les chevaux de trait de la Royal Navy, protégeant contre des attaques aériennes les bâtiments plus gros comme les porte-avions, et fournissant un appui feu pour les troupes au sol.
Ils effectuent aussi un large éventail d’autres missions comme les patrouilles anti-pirates et le secours en cas de catastrophe naturelle.
Une flotte vieillissante
Le ministère britannique de la défense avait d’abord prévu d’acheter 12 destroyers Type 45, mais ce chiffre avait été réduit à 8 en 2004, puis à seulement 6 l’an dernier.
Néanmoins, le NAO indique que le programme, qui devait au départ couter 5 milliards de £, couterait au final près de 6,5 milliards de £ (pour un nombre de bâtiments divisé par 2).
Le premier des destroyers, le HMS Daring, qui a été lancé en 2006, ne dispose toujours pas de la totalité de son système de communications. Il ne recevra pas avant 2011 son principal système de missiles anti-aérien, le PAAMS. Celui-ci peut abattre en même temps plusieurs appareils ou missiles ennemis.
Il devra aussi attendre jusqu’en 2014 pour être équipé de la capacité de combat en coopération, qui relie ensemble les systèmes de combat et les senseurs de plusieurs navires, améliorant leur capacité à combattre ensemble.
Le NAO indique que, en raison de ces retards, la Royal Navy devra conserver plus longtemps ses destroyers Type 42 vieillissants, qui avaient été conçus pour la Guerre Froide et que les Type 45 doivent remplacer.

More than 100,000 new state-of-the-art lightweight SA80 rifle magazines have arrived in Afghanistan to be used by British troops fighting on the front line.
The 30-round Magpul EMAG [Export MAGazine - Ed.] magazine is around half the weight of a standard metal magazine and helps reduce the weight that soldiers have to carry in their kit.
Made from a polymer, the EMAG weighs 130g compared to its metal equivalent of 249g. Troops carry up to 12 magazines, so this change means each carries around one kilogramme less weight in total than before.
Although it is lighter than others, the EMAG is robust; it's durability is enhanced by an easily detachable cover to help protect against dust and sand while being carried - meaning fewer need replacing.
A clear window in the magazine allows troops to easily monitor how much ammunition they have left, helping them ensure they have sufficient levels at critical points in battle.
Corporal Stevie Japp of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, said: "The new magazines are a great bit of kit. The little window lets me see how many rounds I have left at a glance and it's a lighter and more robust design. The dust cap is a useful addition in the dusty Afghan conditions as it helps keep ammo clean."
Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Peter Luff, said: "We are committed to ensuring our Armed Forces have world class equipment, including making use of the latest technology to reduce the weight of our troops' personal kit. As well as being lighter for troops to carry, these new magazines are also stronger and easier to use.
"This contract with Level Peaks represents excellent value for money, allowing us to provide our Armed Forces with improved equipment at lower cost to the taxpayer."
In total over a million EMAGs will be sent to Afghanistan under the four-year, £13m contract with Hereford-based distributors Level Peaks Associates.

7th Boeing C-17 for Royal Air Force Arrives in United Kingdom
January 21, 2011 by Rob Vogelaar · Leave a Comment
 LONDON, Jan. 21, 2011 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] and its Boeing Defence UK subsidiary today announced the arrival of the Royal Air Force’s seventh C-17 Globemaster III airlifter at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England. The aircraft was officially delivered on Nov. 16 from Boeing’s facility in Long Beach, Calif., and underwent modifications at the company’s San Antonio facility before flying to the United Kingdom.
“The RAF C-17 fleet, along with the rest of the Airbridge, delivers an incredible capability to our deployed forces on the front line,” said Air Officer Commanding 2 Group, Air Vice-Marshal Philip Osborn, Royal Air Force. “I am also extremely proud of the outstanding contribution that all our aircraft and personnel are making toward continued progress in Afghanistan.”
Assigned to 99 Squadron at RAF Brize Norton, the UK fleet of C-17s provides critical airlift capability for the nation’s Joint Rapid Reaction Force and has supported humanitarian and disaster-relief missions to Pakistan, Haiti and Chile. 99 Squadron’s C-17s are equipped with upgraded software and avionics, as well as additional fuel tanks that extend the aircraft’s nautical mile range to over 4,000 miles. In normal operations, the aircraft carries a crew of three — two pilots and one air-loadmaster.
“May 2011 will mark the 10th anniversary of the delivery of the Royal Air Force’s first C-17, which continues to perform superbly — anytime and anywhere,” said Boeing UK C-17 Program Manager Liz Pace. “The RAF uses its C-17s more than any other service today, which is why it has surpassed 60,000 flight hours with just six aircraft.”
The UK Ministry of Defence announced it would acquire its seventh C-17 in December 2009, less than one year before delivery.
Boeing supports the RAF’s C-17s through the C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, a performance-based logistics program, at RAF Brize Norton, the RAF’s main operating base for strategic air transport and air-to-air refueling. The arrangement provides the RAF with the benefits of complete “virtual fleet” access and an extensive support network. The virtual fleet concept enables C-17 customers, especially those with smaller numbers of aircraft, to benefit from worldwide parts availability and economies of scale when purchasing materials.
Boeing Defence UK Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company and a business unit of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. It currently has employees at 20 locations throughout the UK supporting Ministry of Defence and U.S. military programs.

- Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support team has begun flight testing the first Chinook Mk4 helicopter
LONDON, Jan. 24, 2011 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and its Boeing Defence UK subsidiary today announced that the Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support team has begun flight testing the first Chinook Mk4 helicopter for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The first flight took place on Dec. 9 in Hampshire, England.
"Project JULIUS, as the Mk4 program is known, will modernize the current Royal Air Force Chinook fleet – essentially giving us new aircraft," said Chris White-Horne, Mk4 project team leader for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence.
Project JULIUS will modify 38 Mk2/2A Chinooks into the Mk4/4A configuration and eight Mk3 Chinooks into the Mk5 configuration. All the aircraft will be delivered to RAF Odiham in Hampshire.
A major part of the modification for both the Mk4/4A and Mk5 aircraft is the Thales TopDeck cockpit. Thales UK is under contract with Boeing to supply its Cockpit Display System/Mission Avionic System, which will provide improved situational awareness, increased safety and options for capability enhancement. The upgraded and integrated cockpit display includes four multifunction displays, two stand-by flight displays, updated communications interfaces, and two new air data computers.
"The first of the modified JULIUS Chinook helicopters is expected to be available to commanders before the end of 2011," said David Pitchforth, managing director, Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support. "The entire Mk2 fleet will be fitted with the JULIUS cockpit by early 2015, followed by Mk2A and Mk3 modifications by 2015 and 2016, respectively."
The modifications also include the addition of a third crew-member seat and an update of Airworthiness & Safety Certification and Qualification for the modernized Chinook. The aircraft are being modified at the Gosport Fleetlands facility operated by Vector Aerospace, Boeing's principal subcontractor for deep support of the RAF Chinook fleet. Vector Aerospace has established a dedicated production line at Fleetlands to support the JULIUS program, with specialist component manufacture provided from its Almondbank facility near Perth, Scotland.
"Vector Aerospace is delighted to be associated with this significant milestone. It is a testimony to the skill and dedication of our teams in Fleetlands and Almondbank, who have worked in a spirit of true partnership with our customer Boeing and the key equipment suppliers," said Tim Rice, managing director, Vector Aerospace UK.
A wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company and a business unit of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, Boeing Defence UK Ltd. currently has employees at 20 locations throughout the UK supporting Ministry of Defence and U.S. military programs.
Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support, working with Boeing Global Services & Support's Rotorcraft Support business, is focused on providing increased capability to the United Kingdom’s military rotorcraft fleet. Supported by Boeing Defence UK, UK Rotorcraft Support has employees in Afghanistan, the UK, and the U.S., supporting Royal Air Force Chinooks and British Army Air Corps Apache fleets.

PICTURE: UK's first Nimrod MRA4s scrapped after £4bn spend
By Craig Hoyle
With work to scrap the UK's BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 maritime patrol aircraft having started at the company's Woodford site in Cheshire earlier this week, widespread criticism of the decision has mounted.
BBC footage aired on 25 January which showed sections of at least three airframes being destroyed using an excavator highlighted the coalition government's stark decision to cancel the MRA4 programme, despite past investment worth more than £4 billion ($6.38 billion). A BAE representative of the Unite union at Woodford described the procedure as an act of "barbaric vandalism".
Plans for the MRA4 - previously referred to as the Nimrod 2000 - had changed dramatically over the programme's almost 15-year life since its selection in 1996, following a competition with a so-called Valkyrie development of the Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion.
Contracted as a fixed-price development and production deal for 21 aircraft, the programme was progressively trimmed to 18, 12 and then nine aircraft over the following years as delays mounted and costs spiralled.
BAE's first MRA4, named PA1, performed its long-delayed debut flight from Woodford in August 2004, and was the first of three development aircraft to have taken part in a test phase which totalled roughly 1,900 flight hours.
The Royal Air Force's first of a planned nine production MRA4s, PA4 (above), made its flight debut in September 2009, and began supporting training activities last March. Registered as ZJ514, the aircraft is still at BAE's Warton site in Lancashire, where it will be scrapped.
Only one additional production airframe reached flight status as part of the programme, with PA5 having first taken to the sky in March 2010. All the remaining aircraft had been in work at Woodford prior to the programme's cancellation as part of the UK's Strategic Defence and Security Review, including development aircraft PA3, which was being converted for use as an operational asset.
Owned by the Ministry of Defence, the airframes have been stripped of valuable equipment such as their Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines and any installed avionics before being destroyed.
The MRA4 programme's cancellation has proved controversial, due to the Nimrod's past value in protecting the UK's sea lanes, providing a long-range search and rescue capability and supporting its Trident missile-equipped submarines. Its demise has also placed the future of its planned main operating base at RAF Kinloss in Scotland in doubt, with a decision expected on the service's future basing requirements later this year.
Plans to field the new MRA4 fleet at Kinloss had already been finalised, with its Thales-provided simulator building already in place and the first RAF personnel having begun training in August 2010 with its 42(R) Sqn operational conversion unit. However, doubts emerged after the MoD opted to approve the early retirement of its previous Nimrod MR2s by March 2010, although the new type was not due to achieve initial operational capability before October 2012. The entire fleet should have been in use by the following year.
In the absence of a dedicated maritime patrol aircraft, the UK is now reliant on the use of RAF Lockheed Martin C-130J tactical transports and Royal Navy AgustaWestland AW101 Merlin HM1 anti-submarine warfare helicopters to provide more limited cover. | |

RAF Tornado jet crashes off Scottish coast
Pilot and navigator on training mission ejected from Tornado and are not thought to have suffered serious injuries
A Tornado jet on a training mission crashed into the sea off the west coast of Scotland today. Both aircrew are thought to have survived.
The pilot and navigator, from RAF Lossiemouth, ejected from the aircraft before it crashed into the waters off Gairloch, north of Skye.
They were airlifted to hospital in Inverness after coastguard and lifeboat crews were scrambled by the RAF's air rescue coordination centre at Kinloss airbase, in Moray.
Neither men are thought to have suffered serious injuries. No details about their conditions have yet been released.
It is thought a second Tornado circled the crash site moments after the jet went down.
Lossiemouth and Kinloss airbases are under threat of closure: Kinloss has been told it will be shut down, while local civic and political leaders are fighting to retain Lossiemouth, which could be hit by the spending cuts.
The armed forces minister, Nick Harvey, visited the area today to meet a delegation of campaigners who have urged him to retain both bases.
The Stornoway coastguard station involved in today's rescue may lose its operations centre as part of further cuts to the UK's coastguard service. www.guardian.co.uk | |

UK helicopter fleet trains in "Pashtun Jaguar" exercise
By Craig Hoyle
Seventeen aircraft from the UK's Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) are taking part in a major pre-deployment exercise on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, providing support for British land forces due to begin operations in Afghanistan during April.
Dubbed "Pashtun Jaguar", the JHC manoeuvres are being staged from Netheravon Camp until mid-February, with around 1,000 flight hours due to be recorded. Involved in the exercise are British Army Westland Lynx and Apache AH1 aircraft, Royal Air Force AgustaWestland AW101 Merlin and Boeing CH-47 Chinook (HC3 version pictured, below) transports and Royal Navy Sea Kings. Also participating is a camera-equipped army Eurocopter Gazelle, which is simulating the presence of an unmanned air vehicle.
"We are here to support 3 Commando Brigade, and to validate our crews, headquarters and ground crew for their role in Afghanistan," says Col Neil Sexton, assistant director operations at the JHC.
Air crews will also undergo so-called "judgemental training" during the exercise, to assess their decision-making against the rules of engagement that they will work to once in theatre.

Special Report: Farewell to the Harrier

By KERRY COUPE
Published on Sat Jan 29 10:30:00 GMT 2011
IT was a poignant day for 150 Harrier pilots and staff as three squadrons were disbanded.
In a cold and blustery hangar at RAF Wittering - the Home of the Harrier - the three squadrons which make up the Joint Force Harrier gave their final farewell in a formal ceremony on Friday.
The Harriers were axed early as part of the Government’s strategic defence review in October.
The Joint Harrier Force was made up of 800 Royal Naval Air Squadron, 1 Squadron and 4 Squadron. The 800 and 1 squadrons were based at RAF Cottesmore, with number 4 at Wittering.
The ceremony was started by RAF college band from RAF Cranwell, who marched into the hangar in front of 600 invited guests, among them family and friends of the squadrons’ personnel.
The band was followed by a fleet of gleaming cars carrying a host of guests, including civic dignitaries Mayor of Stamford David Brailsford and Rutland County Council leader Roger Begy.
The squadrons’ personnel, led by Lt Cdr Mark Kingdom, then marched into the hangar from opposite sides, before meeting together in the middle, drawing to attention in front of the stage and a GR1 Harrier.
As they came to a standstill, commander of the Joint Force Harrier Group Capt Gary Waterfall marched to the centre and saluted Lt Cdr Kingdom with his sword.
The party carrying the standards then paraded in, followed by another fleet of cars carrying Station Commander of RAF Wittering Gp Capt Richard Knighton, Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton and First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope.
As Air Chief Marshal Dalton inspected the personnel, the band played the Dam Busters March.
On stage, Air Chief Marshal Dalton said the squadrons had a “history of distinguished service”.
He said: “Today we thank you for your professionalism and outstanding contribution to the three squadrons which have been united in a common endeavour.”
Admiral Stanhope added: “Every single one of you on parade today and every single one of you in the seats today should be proud, very proud of what you stand for and proud of what your squadrons have achieved across land and sea, day and night, time and time again.
“Your success has been down in no small part to the remarkable characteristics of the aircraft. The people are the heart of the Harrier.”
Gp Capt Waterfall saluted the people on the stage before the standards were marched off to the sounds of Auld Lang Syne. As the parade marched off and out of the hangar, the audience rose to its feet and broke into applause.
After the service, Gp Capt Waterfall said: “Today is a real day to pay back the help and support we’ve received from the wider community of Stamford and Rutland. The Harrier force has always been synonymous with Stamford.”
RAF Cottesmore will formally close in March and Gp Capt Waterfall said staff were supporting each other. Hopefully the squadron will be reborn with the launch of the Typhoon.”
Officer Commander of 4 Squadron Wing Cdr Simon Jessett said: “I think it went very well. We have had so many of these events with the final flight of the Harrier but today really was about going off into the sunset.”
Officer Commander of 800 Naval Air Squadron Cdr David Lindsay said: “There is nothing more exciting than flying a Harrier and it has been a privilege to be involved with such a magnificent aircraft, particularly as a commander of the squadron.”
Officer Commander of 1 Squadron, Wing Cdr Dave Haines flew one of the jets as part of the final flight on December 15. He flew Harriers for 17 years and has been commander of the squadron for two.
“The Harrier has a huge huge place in my heart and the squadron is like my extended family.” peterboroughtoday.co.uk | |

Chinese bid for UK aircraft carrier fails
KJM Varma
Beijing, Feb 2 (PTI) A Chinese businessman has said he failed to win the bid to buy a junked British aircraft carrier put for auction in December last year despite offering double the expected price, claiming that his offer was turned down due to "political reasons".
Lam Kin-bong a UK-based Chinese businessman from south China''s Guangdong Province offered five million pounds (USD 8.02 million), more than double the expected price, but still did not win the bid because the British authority said he "failed to provide all the necessary information."
The light aircraft carrier HMS Invincible was decommissioned in 2005 and was stripped of engines and weapons. The 17,000-ton hull was sold on Disposal Services Agency, an online auction platform under the UK Ministry of Defence, Shanghai Daily reported.
"I feel quite disappointed because I planned to turn the warship into a floating international school on the coast of Guangdong," Lam, 48, told the Hong Kong-based Wen Wei Po newspaper.
A Turkish ship recycling factory won the bid at a price Lin said was far lower than his.
Lam who runs a restaurant chain in Birmingham said he would continue bidding for other decommissioned warships on the online platform.
Wen Wei Po said many suspected Lam failed the bidding due to "political reasons." But Lam said his intention was purely commercial.
"My intentions are purely commercial and have nothing to do with the military. We convert it into an international school to help foster communication and cultural ties between China and Britain," he said.
China till has no aircraft carrier and it is currently refurbishing an aircraft carrier bought from Ukraine in 1998, which will be its first such vessel.
The aircraft carrier had served for 28 years in naval campaigns including conflicts in the Falklands, Iraq and the Balkans. The 500-metre-long warship could carry 22 warplanes and nearly 1,100 sailors.

UK government shelves helicopter search and rescue privatisation
By Kate Sarsfield
The Soteria consortium - which had been in line to run the UK's search and rescue helicopter service from 2012 - has expressed its disappointment at the UK government's cancellation of the privatisation following "irregularities" with the bidding process.
Soteria, which comprises CHC Helicopter, Thales and Sikorsky, was named as the preferred bidder a year ago to run the UK's SAR-H service. It was planning to operate a fleet of S-92 heavy lift helicopters for the contract, worth £6 billion, over 25 years.
However, in December it admitted it had access to commercially sensitive information, said the UK secretary of state for transport Philip Hammond in a statement issued today. "The irregularities included access by one of the consortium members, CHC Helicopter, to commercially sensitive information regarding the joint MoD/DfT project team's evaluations of industry bids and evidence that a former member of that project team had assisted the consortium in its bid preparation, contrary to explicit assurances given to the project team," the statement said. This is now the subject of an MoD police investigation, added Hammond.
Soteria, which comprises CHC Helicopter, Thales and Sikorsky was planning to operate a fleet of S-92 heavy lift helicopters for the contract
Since December, Hammond continued: "My department and the MoD have been working with Soteria to better understand the situation and its implications for the procurement process."
For its part, Soteria says it is "disappointed to learn that the UK government has announced the cancellation of the SAR-H programme" and is confident that it was "designated as the preferred bidder for the SAR-H programme as a result of the value, expertise, dedication, excellence and exceptional technical solution that Soteria can provide in leading search-and-rescue efforts across the UK".
The government is now considering "the potential procurement options to meet future requirements for search and rescue helicopters in the United Kingdom, including options to maintain continuity of search and rescue helicopter cover until new, longer-term arrangements can be put in place".

David Cameron 'committed to full Trident replacement'
David Cameron has said he is committed to a "full" replacement for Trident nuclear weapons after claims the Lib Dems could force it to be cancelled.
Tory MP Julian Lewis said the Lib Dems were boasting about key decisions being delayed until after the next election.
And he urged the prime minister to guarantee he would not scrap Trident as the price of a coalition in the event of another hung Parliament.
The exchange came at Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons.
BBC deputy political editor James Landale said Mr Lewis was engaged in a "constant tussle" with Mr Cameron over Trident and had been "very disappointed" when the final "main gate" decision, which would see the key contracts signed, was delayed until after 2015 for a "mixture of financial and political reasons".
The Conservatives wanted to avoid a "row" with the Lib Dems before the election but it was significant, said former Labour foreign secretary Jack Straw, that for the "first time he (Cameron) has added the critical adjective 'full' to the replacement for Trident".'Boasting'
There has been speculation that the number of Trident submarines could be cut or continuous sea patrols ended to save cash - or even that a cheaper alternative to the sea-borne system could be commissioned.
In the Commons, Mr Lewis said Mr Cameron had promised Tory MPs at the time the coalition was being formed that the Lib Dems would support a replacement for Trident.
But now that the decision had been delayed, the Liberal Democrats "from their president down have been boasting that this was their achievement" - and he asked Mr Cameron for reassurance that it would not be scrapped as the price of another coalition deal.
Mr Cameron assured him that "the replacement for Trident is going ahead".
"The reason for the delay is that we had a value for money study because we desperately need to save some money in the Ministry of Defence so that we can invest in frontline capability
"In terms of the future, all I can say... is that I am in favour of a full replacement for Trident, for continuous at-sea deterrent, and to make sure we keep our guard up.
"That is Conservative policy. It will remain Conservative policy as long as I am the leader of this party."'All-party support'
Labour MP John Woodcock, whose Barrow-in-Furness constituency builds the Trident submarines, also asked Mr Cameron for reassurance that he would not go back on his word.
Mr Cameron said: "I profoundly believe we should maintain our independent nuclear deterrent. I have looked at all of the alternatives over the years and I am completely convinced that you need a submarine based alternative - a full replacement for Trident in order to guarantee the ultimate insurance policy for this country."
He said he believed there was "all-party support" for his position.
In their election manifesto, the Lib Dems, who have traditionally been in favour of nuclear disarmament, opposed a "like-for-like" replacement for Trident on cost grounds.
It was one of the issues on which they were allowed to continue expressing a different view to the Conservatives in the coalition agreement.
But they were accused of "playing politics" with the issue last year when Lib Dem defence minister Nick Harvey said delaying the decision until after the next election would turn Trident into a political "hot potato" for Labour.
Labour have supported replacing Trident since the 1990s but some of their MPs are thought to be unhappy with the policy. bbc.co.uk | |

HMS Queen Elizabeth Steps Out Into The Lime Light
13 Feb 2011 | Ref. 023/2011
Glasgow, United Kingdom: Construction of the first of the two new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy, HMS Queen Elizabeth, took a huge step forward today as workers at BAE Systems' Govan yard moved two giant sections of the hull together for the first time.
The structure is so big that it fills an entire hall at Govan and now extends beyond the doors onto the yard, providing a spectacular view from across the River Clyde.
Highlighting the skill and technology involved in British shipbuilding today, it took a team of 20 employees and remote controlled transporters just one hour to move 1,221 tonnes of steel over 100 metres across the shipyard. The hull section was then manoeuvred carefully into position to line up with the rest of the block.
Steven Carroll, Queen Elizabeth Class Project Director at BAE Systems’ Surface Ships division, said: “Seeing the mid section of the carrier come together brings into sharp focus the sheer scale and complexity of this engineering feat.
“With construction underway at six shipyards across the country, it is one of the biggest engineering projects in the UK today – second only to the London 2012 Olympics – and we’re all very proud to be a part of it.”
The two sections brought together today form the mid section of the hull up to the hangar deck and is referred to as Lower Block 03. Workers will now continue to outfit the block, which on completion will weigh over 9,300 tonnes and stand over 23 metres tall, 63 metres long and 40 metres wide. She is set to embark on the next stage of her journey to Rosyth in the latter part of this year, where HMS Queen Elizabeth will be assembled in the dry dock.
As a member of the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, BAE Systems is working in partnership with Babcock, Thales and the Ministry of Defence to deliver the nation’s flagships. This huge massive engineering project is rapidly gaining momentum and employs over 8,000 people across shipyards in Glasgow, Portsmouth, Appledore, Rosyth, Merseyside and Newcastle, with thousands more across the supply chain.
BAE Systems is also constructing the main stern section at its yard on the Clyde, which is the largest and most complex section of the carrier. At its Portsmouth facilities, work is well underway to construct the forward and lower stern sections of the hull, as well as the pole mast, whilst integration and testing of the ships’ complex mission system is underway at the Company’s Maritime Integration and Support Centre. Another team of BAE Systems engineers on the Isle of Wight is testing the advanced communication systems. The Company is set to begin work on the two island structures, which house the bridge and traffic control facilities, towards the end of the year.
Each 65,000 tonne carrier will provide the armed forces with a four acre military operating base which can be deployed worldwide. The vessels will be versatile enough to be used for operations ranging from supporting war efforts to providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief.

Navy to buy new aircraft
THE Royal Navy is looking to buy a fleet of maritime patrol aircraft for up to £1 billion just weeks after the Ministry of Defence scrapped the new Nimrod aircraft at a cost of £3.6 billion.
The MoD confirmed last week that the navy wanted to buy its own maritime patrol aircraft to track enemy submarines to replace the Nimrods, which are being broken up for scrap.
The new RAF Nimrod MRA4s had not even come into service when the prime minister announced last October that as part of the strategic defence review he was scrapping Nimrod.
The navy, which was furious that RAF bosses had agreed to get rid of Nimrod at a time of increased submarine activity, has already set up a team to buy a replacement and ensure that it is flown by the Fleet Air Arm. The programme is being run by Commodore Simon Kings with a team made up of naval officers. portsmouth | |

- HMS Cumberland en route to Malta from Libya
25 Feb 11
The Royal Navy's HMS Cumberland has now departed Benghazi in Libya, having safely extracted 207 entitled persons (EPs) and, despite heavy weather, is now making passage to Malta
The Type 22 frigate was on her way back to the UK from operations in the Gulf to be decommissioned when she was ordered to stay in the eastern Mediterranean to evacuate Britons trapped by the unrest taking place in the North African country
Lieutenant Commander James Farrant from Cumberland said:
"We had literally just popped out the north end of the Suez Canal when we got the call. We had been in the Arabian Gulf on security patrols."
HMS Cumberland's Commanding Officer, Captain Steve Dainton, said:
"There were some fairly harrowing tales of violence during the last couple of days and certainly there is a great deal of relief to see the safety of a Royal Navy warship arriving in Benghazi.
"The atmosphere is very good on board at the moment. There are obviously a number of relieved people that we embarked when we arrived in Benghazi.
"We've just managed to get everybody fed and watered for the night and hopefully bedded down for a bit of rest. The weather is quite rough," he added. "A lot of people are not feeling too good."
Lt Cdr Farrant continued:
"People are very happy to be involved in the operation to help people and save lives. We won't be going full speed. We want to keep the passengers as comfortable as possible. People have gone through a lot already; we don't want to put them through anything uncomfortable
Once in Malta, the Foreign Office will arrange forward transport for the civilian passengers on board HMS Cumberland.
The MOD continues to assist Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials in Tripoli and has pre-positioned a number of other assets and personnel in the area.
HMS Cumberland has been based in the Gulf for the last four months where her duties have included helping to protect the Iraqi oil platforms that account for nearly 90 per cent of Iraq's national income. She has also supported counter-piracy operations on her way to and from the Gulf. mod.uk | |

- HMS Bulwark returns to fleet on-time, in-budget
HMS Bulwark leaves Devonport Royal Dockyard after upgrade and maintenance programme. (Photo: Babcock International)
The amphibious landing ship HMS Bulwark has returned to the fleet today, Friday 25 February, after successfully completing sea trials following an 11 month support period, delivered on-time and in-budget. The upgrade and maintenance programme was undertaken by Babcock at Devonport Royal Dockyard. This was the ship’s first docking since being formally commissioned into the Royal Navy in April 2005 and the project team successfully met a number of significant challenges, including the severe adverse weather conditions over Christmas, to keep the programme on schedule.
The £30m support period (a contract awarded under the Surface Ship Support Alliance, the alliance between the MoD, Babcock and BAE Systems) has benefited from application of knowledge and experience gained on sister vessel HMS Albion, as a result of which a number of initiatives and improvements were introduced, and from close partnering between the MoD and Babcock including co-located and integrated project teams. This approach enabled efficiency and cost-effectiveness to be maximised throughout the docking period, to deliver optimum value for money and return Bulwark to the fleet on-schedule.
The 450,000 manhour support period has involved the overhaul of 1625 items of equipment, manufacture of 1557 items, and shipping of 398 tonnes of equipment on and off the ship. 215 hull valves have been removed and replaced; 93 tanks opened, cleaned and surveyed; 21 miles of electrical cable installed; and 8,000 litres of paint applied to the ship’s outer bottom.
HMS Bulwark now has improved aviation facilities (the flight deck has the capacity to operate two heavy-lift Chinook helicopters simultaneously) and upgrades to the welldock, including full tactical night-vision capability by her landing craft and aircraft. Extensive improvements have also been carried out to the living quarters for the ship’s 380 sailors and marines, including bunk spaces, toilets, bathrooms and recreational areas, plus refurbishment of the main galley, laundry and commissariat.
Further, the ship’s communications equipment has been enhanced, high pressure salt water, drainage and sewage systems improved, and main propulsion system upgraded. Also included have been improvements to the machinery and magazine spaces, IT network capability, and defensive weapons upgrades, as well as replacement of the ship’s outer bottom anti-fouling paint with the new ultra sleek system improving fuel efficiency and speed through the water.
“A number of challenges have been addressed during the support period, including the addition of 16 alterations and additions during the project, and was completed within the same timeframe as Albion despite an additional 70,000 manhours involved,” Babcock project manager Mike Weeks points out. “Successes have included achievement of all key milestones, an excellent safety culture, the adoption of a single integrated plan, and efficiency improvements such as the dockside services contract arrangements, as well as an excellent partnering relationship.”
HMS Bulwark has now completed three weeks’ sea trials, and returns to duties as a fully prepared operational warship.
Captain Graeme Little, RN, OBE, Capital Ships-In Service Ships Team Leader and project lead said: “All involved in successful delivery of this project can rightfully feel proud of what they have achieved. HMS Bulwark is an essential element of the post Strategic Defence Security Review commitment to Amphibious and Littoral Manoeuvre capability and the challenge for the support community is now to establish Devonport as the Centre for Amphibious Support Excellence alongside the Amphibious Centre of Specialisation and, in doing so, optimising the support, materiel state and availability of amphibious platforms and surface manoeuvre craft. This will enable the MoD and industry to build on what has been achieved during this project, driving benefits and efficiencies into the future support business.”
Babcock Warships Director (Devonport), Chris Tomkins, said: “This has been a complex and challenging project, and an excellent achievement by the team. Close working and the implementation of true partnering values has played a vital part in the success, as has the implementation of our experience and ‘lessons learnt’ from Albion, and our amphibiosity expertise, which underlines Devonport as the Centre for Amphibious Support Excellence. We are delighted to be returning HMS Bulwark to the fleet on-time and in-budget, and fully equipped for her operational duties.”
Commanding Officer HMS Bulwark Captain Alex Burton said: “Through an open, engaging and strong partnership with Babcock, HMS Bulwark has successfully met her Fleet Date. The Docking Period presented a challenging mix of complexity, time management and detailed and intricate planning; all of which has been underpinned by an overarching desire to succeed from both Babcock and the Ship’s Company of HMS Bulwark. Acceptance back into the Fleet marks an important date for HMS Bulwark on her path towards regeneration and her future role as the Fleet Flagship in October this year.”

- Libya unrest: UK rescue plane had a 'narrow escape'
Disaster was narrowly averted when small arms fire entered the cockpit of a RAF C130 Hercules evacuating Britons and foreign nationals from Libya, it has emerged.
One round bounced off the pilot's helmet but he was unscathed during Sunday's rescue of oil workers.
Earlier, 50 Britons and 150 foreign nationals arrived in Malta on HMS Cumberland as evacuation efforts go on.
David Cameron said the UK is working to establish a no-fly zone over Libya.
The prime minister has also urged Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi to "go now", adding that the north African country had no future "that includes him".
The BBC's Frank Gardner confirmed details of the narrow escape during the evacuation of oil workers - 20 of whom were British - from the desert.
He said an insurgent group on the ground which fired at the aircraft had mistaken it for a Gaddafi regime plane. They have since apologised for the incident.
'Bang Bang'
Some of those rescued described the moment the Hercules was shot at, forcing it to abandon a landing.
One British oil worker said: "The aircraft took two hits on the right hand side of the fuselage, you just heard 'bang bang' as the rounds actually struck."
Another said after failing to land at two blocked off fields, the Hercules was trying again at a third when the firing started, forcing them to abort.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed that one of its C130 aircraft appeared to have suffered "minor damage consistent with small arms fire", adding that "there were no injuries to passengers or crew and the aircraft returned safely to Malta".
On Saturday, another 150 oil workers, many of them British nationals, were rescued from the desert by two RAF Hercules and flown to the safety of Malta.
They later caught flights back to the UK, which arrived at Gatwick airport on Sunday and early on Monday.'Looters'
The government said HMS York remained in the region and was "ready to assist as required".
Some of those who left Malta on another British warship - HMS Cumberland - in the latest stage of the British
evacuation operation, have spoken of their experiences of the unrest in Libya.
Marsden Sims, 63, a civil engineer from Tonyrefail near Pontypridd, told the Ministry of Defence that locals had set light to a reading room at his site, and that looters had targeted cars and property. HMS Cumberland has arrived in Malta carrying some 200 passengers
"We didn't have direct trouble to begin with but when word spread from the TV reports, things got quite agitated," he said.
"We were in one works compound at Messla and a few nights ago we saw looters outside taking vehicles and equipment."
And 25-year-old Natalie Brooks, who is returning home to Birmingham with her son Mustafa and daughter Naimah, told the MoD: "We thought it safer with the security situation to get out and bide our time.
"Where we lived in the city was not particularly affected by the fighting, but you don't know if the situation is going to get more dangerous." bbc.co.uk/news | |

Tornado squadrons to be disbanded
The Royal Air Force's Number 13 and 14 Tornado squadrons are to be disbanded and formally stood down on 1 June 2011, it has been announced today
The last government announced in December 2009 that the RAF would need to reduce the number of Tornado or Harrier squadrons, but left the detail of the reductions to the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR).
In the event the SDSR had to consider how best to make these reductions against the background of the fiscal situation. And as a result of this the RAF has announced today that 13 Squadron, based at RAF Marham, and 14 Squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth, are to be disbanded.
These squadrons have been selected by the Air Force Board Standing Committee, taking into account operational commitments and the relative seniority of the squadrons at each base. The squadrons will be formally stood down on 1 June. The RAF will retain five front line Tornado squadrons with a total fleet of 136 GR4 aircraft.
The disbandment of these squadrons does not mean that their personnel will automatically be made redundant. In the short term they will be found alternative employment. The RAF anticipates that the majority will be found other permanent roles, although not necessarily in their current location. Those personnel working in areas which the RAF has identified as containing surplus staff will of course be able to apply for, and be considered for, redundancy, alongside exploring other options within the Service.
