L’Espagne vend 94 torpilles au Chili pour un prix symbolique


Le gouvernement espagnol a autorisé le 9 mars la vente au Chili de 94 torpilles Mark Mk-46-2.



Le contrat comprend des pièces détachées et le prix s’élève à 1.000 €. La marine chilienne utilise déjà ce type de torpilles, pour ses hélicoptères Eurocopter AS332 F1 en configuration ASM.

On estime de plus que ces torpilles ont été modernisées au standard 6 — NEARTIP — qui comporte des améliorations aux systèmes acoustiques et à la résistance aux contre-mesures.

Boeing delivered the last of the Chilean Air Force’s three KC-135E

SAN ANTONIO, March 28, 2012 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] delivered the last of the Chilean Air Force’s three KC-135E Stratotankers on March 9 after all the aircraft completed Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) in San Antonio.

The final aircraft arrived at Boeing’s San Antonio facility in June for the maintenance work, which included a variety of depot-level inspections, repairs, maintenance, modification and repainting. The KC-135E was flown to Santiago, Chile, by a crew from the U.S. Defense Contract Management Agency’s 313th Flight Test Squadron.

“Boeing worked with the Chilean Air Force to incorporate lessons learned on the first and second aircraft to deliver the final KC-135 and return it to doing what it does best,” said Mike Wright, Boeing KC-135 program director. “This highly dependable aircraft is a critical resource to Chile for refueling missions and humanitarian assistance.”

KC-135 aircraft receive PDM after five years of service or 20,000 hours of flight time. Boeing has been performing PDM for the U.S. Air Force and other international customers at its San Antonio facility since 1998.

“Boeing continues to make significant investments in Lean processes that dramatically accelerate turnaround time, decrease cost and improve quality to better serve our customer,” said Wright.

The first Chilean Air Force KC-135 to go through PDM was delivered on Feb. 18, 2010, a week before an 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit Chile. The aircraft was immediately put into use to conduct humanitarian missions. Delivery of the second aircraft took place on Aug. 30, 2011, one day before the KC-135 marked its 55th anniversary of first flight.

The Chilean government purchased three KC-135 E-model aircraft on July 8, 2009, through the U.S. Air Force Foreign Military Sales Office at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world’s largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft.

FIDAE 2012: Boeing offers AH-6i to South American customers




Boeing negotiations with Chile over a possible purchase of the AH-6i have been revealed at FIDAE 2012.

According to Brad Rounding, manager of AH-6 business development at Boeing, the Chilean Ministry of Defence has been given details of pricing and support for a purchase of up to nine of the light attack helicopters.

Rounding also said other nations in the region were also interested in the aircraft including Colombia, Brazil and also Argentina, although negotiations were less advanced with those countries.

The company is confident about proceeding with production of the aircraft following the signing of the letter of acceptance by the Saudi Arabian government for 24 aircraft as part of a wide-ranging re-capitalisation of the country's helicopter forces announced during 2011. Boeing is hopeful that the contract will be signed later this year with the aircraft delivered to the country in 2014.

'The aircraft has demonstrated a high level of performance and reliability,' explained Rounding, 'We carried out some trials in Saudi Arabia in December, and the aircraft performed 57 flights in five days without a problem. In fact the only issue was crew rest.'

The company had hoped to bring the aircraft to the FIDAE air show but it was required for further test flying.

Rounding said production aircraft would change little from the prototype aircraft that first flew in September 2009, but will feature some new improved crashworthy seats to further improve survivability. The company is also looking at the use of composite blades that have a longer on-airframe life compared to the metal blades currently in use.

Rounding also pointed out that the aircraft was ready for any fly-off demonstration for the US Army's Armed Aerial Scout programme, noting that the aircraft had a fully integrated weapons system and exceeded the stringent 6K/95 parameter set by the US Army, which is operating at the aircraft's gross weight at 6,000 feet on a 95F (35C) day. Rounding said the aircraft had operated comfortably at over 7,000 feet in these conditions.

The company has high hopes for further sales. Currently, Boeing is negotiations with Jordan for a direct commercial sale of the type and the Philippines had also expressed an interest in the helicopter to replace its long-serving fleet of air force MD500 Defenders.

If the Chilean buy came to fruition, the AH-6is would replace the MD530MGs currently serving with the Chilean Army. They have 17 aircraft which can be equipped with guns and unguided rockets.

Boeing says there are 2,000 light attack helicopters such as A109s and Gazelles that will need replacing in the next decade. They believe the AH-6i with its Apache systems could meet some of those needs.

Chilean Air Force Signs MOU for F110 Service Agreement




07:25 GMT, April 5, 2012 SANTIAGO, CHILE | The Fuerza Aerea de Chile (FACH) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a Supply Based Logistics contract to support F110-GE-129 engines for its GE-powered Lockheed Martin F-16 fleet. Under terms of the agreement, GE will provide spare parts, line and shop replaceable units through 2016.

"This MOU underscores the longstanding relationship we have enjoyed with the FACH starting with the arrival of J85 engines in 1976," said Alberto Frauenberg, Latin America sales manager for GE Aviation. "This relationship has continued to evolve with the introduction of the F110, which has capably served the Chilean Air Force since 2004."

More than 3,000 F110 engines have been ordered worldwide since initial selection by the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1984, making it the best-selling engine for Lockheed Martin F-16C/D fighter jets. In addition to the USAF, 12 international forces fly F110-powered aircraft.

GE provides support for a variety of aircraft in the Latin American region, including Northrop Grumman F-5, Sikorsky BLACK HAWK, CASA/IPTN CN235 and Boeing 737 aircraft. Approximately 700 GE engines serve the region, which features some of the world's fastest growing economies.
