Elbit Systems lands helmet-mounted display deal with South Korea
By Arie Egozi

Elbit Systems has received a contract to supply advanced helmet-mounted display systems for the South Korean army's Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH) programme.

Under the deal, Elbit will supply prime contractor Korea Aerospace Industries with equipment for its ongoing development effort, which is expected to lead to the manufacture of up to 250 tactical transport helicopters. The Israeli company's initial contract covers those development aircraft due to be delivered in 2009-10, but it believes the agreement could lead to follow-on orders to equip the entire KUH fleet and additional military rotorcraft.

"We believe this selection will lead to further head-up display projects in South Korea and worldwide," says Yoram Shmuely, co-general manager of Elbit's Aerospace Division.

Elbit says its helmet-mounted display systems enable helicopter pilots to fly with their "head out of the cockpit", boosting situational awareness and safety by projecting essential flight data, plus navigation waypoints and threat data into their line of sight.

C'est confirmé!!

South Korea to Accuse North of Torpedo Attack


By CHOE SANG-HUN
Published: May 18, 2010

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has concluded that a North Korean torpedo sank one of its warships in March, killing 46 sailors, according to government officials and domestic news reports on Tuesday. South Korean officials are preparing to announce the results of their investigation later this week.

The much anticipated finding will accuse North Korea of committing one of the worst military provocations on the Korean Peninsula since the end of the Korean War, deepening tensions between the countries. North Korea, denying involvement in the sinking, has vowed to retaliate against any attempt to link it with the March 26 explosion that broke the South Korean corvette in half near a disputed sea border. But the South has pledged “resolute measures,” including economic sanctions, once the investigation is complete.

“We will blame a torpedo attack and link it to North Korea,” said a government official briefed on the investigation, adding that the authorities were still fine-tuning an official announcement to be made on Thursday.

He refused to discuss forensic evidence that will be cited in the report.

In a series of closed-door briefings scheduled for Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry intends to present to Chinese, Russian, Japanese and European diplomats “scientific and objective evidence to back up the conclusion that it was a North Korean torpedo attack,” said the South Korean news agency Yonhap.

The finding is hardly a surprise. In recent weeks, South Korea’s defense minister has said that a torpedo attack was the likely cause of the sinking and that residue of an explosive used in torpedoes had been found in the ship’s hull.

But South Korea has carefully marshaled its evidence in a multinational investigation into the sinking to try to ensure that it can rally international support for economic and diplomatic sanctions against the North.

Investigators established what they said was a critical forensic link when they matched metal pieces and traces of explosive recovered from the ship and the site where it sank with a stray North Korean torpedo secured by the South seven years ago, Yonhap and other South Korean news outlets reported. They also said they had found a fragment believed to be part of a North Korean torpedo’s propeller.

They also found a serial number on fragments of a torpedo propeller that further strengthened the belief among South Korean, United States, Australian and other experts in the investigation that it was a North Korean attack, the newspaper Chosun Ilbo said Wednesday, citing an unnamed government source.

The investigators have been scrutinizing intercepted North Korean military communications to try to link the attack to a North Korean submarine, officials here said.

South Korean officials said that if they proved that the ship had been attacked by a torpedo, people would naturally believe that the attacker was the North, with its long history of military and terrorist provocations against the South.

But it remains unclear whether the forensic evidence the South has so far accumulated will be convincing enough to force China, a veto-wielding member of the United Nations Security Council and a North Korea ally, to support a statement or resolution denouncing the North.

President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea needs Chinese support. His plan to punish the North would further weaken his country’s already diminished diplomatic leverage over the North Koreans, because it would deepen the North’s economic dependence on China at the expense of inter-Korean trade, analysts said.

Meanwhile, opposition candidates in local and provincial elections on June 2 accused Mr. Lee of whipping up anti-North Korean sentiments to win conservative votes for his party’s candidates.

“The government is unable to present any factual evidence that the ship was broken in half by a torpedo,” Yoo Si-min, an opposition candidate, said in a radio interview. “If they make their announcement without such evidence, they will make South Korea an international laughingstock.”

Mr. Lee planned to make a speech next week to follow up on the announcement on Thursday by the Defense Ministry. In recent weeks, he and other senior officials have dropped hints that the North was to blame, although they have not formally accused it.

South Korean officials have suspended financing for government-level exchanges with North Korea and have asked South Korean companies not to start any new deals with the North.

Mr. Lee talked with President Obama on Tuesday. The White House later said that the two leaders were “committed to follow the facts of the investigation wherever they lead.” The finding of a torpedo attack would almost certainly darken the prospects for inter-Korean relations, which have deteriorated badly since Mr. Lee’s inauguration in 2008.

Tout à fait! je l'avais dit au début de l'incident quand rien n'était sûr, j'ai dit que ce sont les nord coréens qui ont fait le coup, parce que ce n'est pas la première fois, il y a quelques années des navires de surfaces nord coréens ont coulé un navire sud coréen, et ils n'ont pas réagit.

Le Sud devrait arreter de faire de l'assistanat avec le Nord et les laisser dans leur me....
Plus de 40 morts et ils ne vont pas reagir mais qu'est ce que ces que ce pays surtout que c'est deliberer de la part du Nord.
