The Norwegian Defence Procurement Division (NDPD) has signed a new contract with Thales for further development of XOmail, an efficient and fully secure communication system, in order to provide a secure information exchange service for all defence branches. The goal is to satisfy the need for a secure information exchange service that can be used on all levels in the armed forces; from the headquarters at the strategic level and all the way down to dismounted soldiers or vehicles at the battlefield level. The extended system will also provide interoperability within the Armed Forces (Joint, Land, Sea and Air) as well as interoperability with NATO and other allies. “Providing secure communication solutions is at the core of Thales’s competences which have been proven through decades. This is a major development contract and we are looking forward to enabling interoperability supporting effective communication, both within the Norwegian Armed Forces and towards allies”, says Glenn Pedersen, Thales’s Vice President in Norway. XOmail, a fully secure communication system Thales’s XOmail is a key component in information handling and transfer as part of C4ISR solutions (Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance). Today XOmail is used at the strategic level as the national Military Message Handling System in several NATO nations, as well as at the tactical level in the Norwegian Army and Navy. XOmail offers powerful desk-to-desk messaging functions and Battle Log features. The system has been developed and adapted to the needs in The Norwegian Armed Forces and other nations for more than 20 years.

- Lockheed Martin Completes Delivery Of C-130J Airlifters
MARIETTA, Ga., May 11th, 2010 -- Lockheed Martin completed deliveries of the four C 130Js ordered by the Royal Norwegian Air Force at a ceremony here today with U.S. and Norwegian officials.
Lockheed Martin received a contract from the U.S. government in November 2007 for the purchase of four C-130J Super Hercules airlifters, plus initial spares and training, through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. Lockheed Martin delivered Norway’s first C-130J in November 2008 and its second in April 2009.
"As the first C-130J FMS order, the Norway contract was an important milestone for sales of the C-130J around the world," said Julie Whitehead, director, Norway C-130J program for Lockheed Martin. "Two years ago, Norway joined the ever-growing list of countries that realize the flexibility of the Super Hercules and the benefits it brings to a nation’s overall airlift capability. With today’s acceptance of two more aircraft, the Royal Norwegian Air Force is among those countries with the most advanced cargo fleets in the world."
Norway's C-130Js are much more operationally efficient than the 1968-vintage C-130Hs the nation had been operating. The C-130J can fly farther, faster, with more payload and higher reliability. The new fleet enables Norway to fully meet its national airlift mission requirements and those missions in support of international organizations like the U.N. and NATO.

- Future acquisitions for the Norwegian Armed Forces
The Norwegian Ministry of Defence (MoD) today published an overview of future acquisitions for the Norwegian Armed Forces (FANAF) for 2010-2017. As part of the overall planning for the Norwegian Armed Forces, the Norwegian Ministry of Defence (MoD) is also responsible for the planning of the military’s materiel investments.
FANAF 2010-2017 does not, for various reasons, provide information about projects that cannot be made public. This may include, for example, plans that are covered by the Norwegian Security Act and are therefore kept from public access. The document features on the Armed Forces’ section of this website http://www.regjeringen.no as an electronic document and will not be published in paper format.
In the Report to the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament) no. 38 (2006-2007) the Norwegian Armed Forces and the manufacturing industries – strategic partners, the government’s strategy for strengthening the industrial political aspects of the Norwegian Armed Forces materiel investments was outlined. Based on the needs of the Armed Forces, the strategy for the industrial political aspects of the Armed Forces’ acquisitions shall contribute to increased national wealth creation and to the development of a competitive industry, and also provide the Armed Forces with the necessary access to expertise, materiel and services. Furthermore, the strategic collaboration between the Armed Forces, research and development environments and industry shall be strengthened. The collaboration will include national and international projects.
One of the main elements in the strategy is early dialogue between the parties, including communication of short-term and long-term materiel needs. In the Report to the Storting it is stated, among other things, that the MoD will work towards ensuring “… that the Armed Forces and the manufacturing industries share information about industrial options for the Armed Forces’ planned acquisitions at the earliest possible juncture”. It is further stated that the collaboration between the Armed Forces and the manufacturing industries shall “… be based on the existing materiel plans…”.
A central feature of the materiel planning is the annual preparation of long-term materiel plans (LTMP). The plan outlines priorities and focus areas related to the Defence Sector’s materiel investments and has an eight-year time frame. Based on the LTMP the MoD now publishes an overview of future acquisitions for the Norwegian Armed Forces (FANAF) for 2010-2017. The purpose of this is to give the manufacturing industries an early insight into possible materiel investments and so contribute to developing Norwegian manufacturing industries’ ability to support the needs of the Armed Forces. At the same time, FANAF 2010-2017 will strengthen Norwegian manufacturing industries’ chances of participating in international materiel collaboration and ensure that Norwegian companies obtain the best chance to be able to supply materiel and services to the Armed Forces, where this is considered appropriate.
The Armed Forces’ materiel investments are subject to decisions and approval including those of the MoD and the Storting. At the time of publishing FANAF 2010 – 2017 contains descriptions of projects that are not currently formally approved in accordance with approval procedures. The projects are therefore categorised as possible projects (POP) and planned projects (PP). The MoDs feel that it is important to emphasise that while a project is in the possible or planned project portfolio that there will always be a level of uncertainty related to whether the project will be carried out. By making the user of the FANAF 2010 – 2017 report aware of this uncertainty, the MoD is attaching reservations to whether an individual project will be approved and also regarding the ultimate content and extent of the project. Approved projects (AP) will not be discussed in the FANAF. Information about projects in this category can be found, among other places, on the home page of the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO).
Investements in the defence sector
The Defence Sector is made up of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the subordinatebodies: the Norwegian Armed Forces, the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM),The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA) and the Norwegian Defence ResearchEstablishment. All investments in the Defence Sector are decided by the MoD, and sub-ordinate bodies carry out investment activities as instructed. The Defence Sector have introduced a project model (PRINSIX) that describes phases, decision points and roles/responsibilities. This ensures a standard and overall implementation of the investments. The MoD has set up several programmes to follow up the progress of the investment work.
Project ideas can come from anyone within the defence sector, or on the basis of the strategic planning work. The ideas are presented and dealt with in the programme areas.The programmes recommend to the MoD which projects shall be prioritised and continued.If it is decided to go ahead with the idea for the project, this may result in the commence-ment of a conceptual study or the setting up of a preliminary project. The decision however may be, not to go ahead with the idea for the project or to put the idea on hold.
In a conceptual study alternative concept shall be assessed in relation to real needs. This will usually be an assessment of how different capacity needs can be resolved in conceptually different ways. When this is done previous experiences are also often evaluated next to new concepts, continuation, or entirely new concepts. These may be combined with each other. Conceptual Solution (CS) is the term for the document that is submitted as a basis for the decision at the end of the concept phase. In addition to beinga central decision-making document, the document is the basis for external qualityassurance in accordance with guidelines from the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. A project in this phase is called a “possible project” and is given the code POP. Once conceptual studies have been carried out, work on setting up a Procurement Solution (PS) for the approval of the project is commenced. A project in this phase is called a “planned project” and is given the code POP. In practice, most smaller projects go directly to this phase without first preparing a CS. PS shall, among other things, account for alternative procurement strategies (Public Private Partnership, renting/leasing, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), second-hand purchases, traditional purchases and similar), and give a justified description of which procurement strategy shall be used. The procurement through NAMSA (NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency) or NATO C3 (Command, Control & Communications) Agency shall always be considered as a possible procurement strategy. PS will further explain the choice of procurement method, the use of advance payments, options, repurchase conditions and other con¬tractual conditions. Part 3 of the Norwegian Armed Forces Procurement Directive (ARF) describes the contractual strategy requirements. The main rule for all procurements is that they shall occur through tender.
The biggest and most extensive materiel projects in the Armed Forces - with a cost framework of over NOK 500 million - are called Category 1 projects. Such projects require the Storting’s approval for either setting up or changing the cost framework. Projects with a cost framework less than NOK 500 million are approved by the MoD.
Once the project has been approved for implementation, MoD sends out an Implemen¬tation Commission (IC) to the relevant department. A project in this phase is called an “approved project” and is given the code AP.

- Final C-130J delivered to Norway early
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio | The Royal Norwegian Air Force will take delivery today of its fourth C-130J Super Hercules, a full 60 days earlier than the projected delivery date.
The agreement between the U.S. Air Force and the Royal Norwegian Air Force was the first sale of a C-130J via the foreign military sales process. The case included four aircraft, spare parts, technical publications and training at a cost of $519 million.
"From the very beginning, this case has served as an example of how to conduct foreign military sales," said Lt. Col. Peter Eide, 657th Aeronautical Systems Squadron commander. "The Air Force Security Assistance Center, the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Lockheed-Martin, the Air Force Security Assistance Training squadron, along with the people here in our program office have all worked extremely hard to deliver this vital capability to an important international partner."
Beginning in mid-2007, this case got a quick start when AFSAC turned the request from the Norwegian Ministry of Defense in less than half the normal processing time. This start allowed the process to beat milestones along the way, to conclude with the final aircraft delivery two months early.
With an additional 15 feet of fuselage increasing usable space in the cargo compartment, the C-130J incorporates state-of-the-art technology to reduce manpower requirements, lower operating and support costs and provide life-cycle cost savings compared to earlier C-130 models. Compared to older C-130s, the J model climbs faster and higher, flies farther at a higher cruise speed and takes off and lands in a shorter distance.
This newly built aircraft includes an advanced two-pilot flight station with fully integrated digital avionics; color multifunctional liquid crystal displays and head-up displays; state-of-the-art navigation systems with dual inertial navigation system and global positioning system; fully integrated defensive systems; low-power color radar; digital moving map display; new turboprop engines with six-bladed, all-composite propellers; digital auto pilot; improved fuel, environmental and ice-protection systems; and an enhanced cargo-handling system.

16/09/2010
Premier d'une série de 6 unités, le patrouilleur lance-missiles Skjold a été admis au service actif la semaine dernière au sein de la marine norvégienne. Equipé d'un système de combat SENIT 2000, conçu et intégré par DCNS, cet étonnant bâtiment à effet de surface mesure 47.5 mètres de long pour un déplacement de 273 tonnes en charge. Propulsé par quatre turbines Pratt & Whitney et deux hydrojets Kamewa, il développe plus de 16.000 cv et peut atteindre la vitesse de 60 noeuds. Furtif, le Skjold dispose d'une coque catamaran en composite. Mis en oeuvre par un équipage de 20 marins, le patrouilleur embarque une tourelle de 76mm, 8 missiles antinavire NSM et un système surface-air Simbad (missiles Mistral). Le radar principal est un MRR-3D. Mis sur cale en 1997 aux chantiers Kvaerner de Mandal et livré deux ans plus tard, l'achèvement de la tête de série aura donc été très long. Ses deux premiers sisterships pourraient être opérationnels d'ici la fin de l'année, les autres suivant en 2011 M&M | |

Sensors from CASSIDIAN protect Norwegian F-16 fighters Delivery of more than 100 missile warning sensors by 2011 Cassidian, the recently renamed defence and security pillar of EADS, will protect the F-16 fighter aircraft of the Royal Norwegian Airforce (RnoAF) against missile attacks. Cassidian Electronics has received a multi-million euro contract from RNoAF to deliver more than 100 AN/AAR-60 (V) 2 MILDS F sensors (MILDS F = Missile Launch Detection System, Fighter). Deliveries will commence in June 2011. During the project execution phase close contact to local authorities is supported by Oslo-based EADS Norway.
“MILDS F with its very low false alarm rate and fast detection combined with automatic initiation of countermeasures relieves the pilot’s workload in time-critical situations and ensures the safe return of both crew and aircraft”, explains Bernd Wenzler, CEO of Cassidian Electronics
MILDS F is a passive, imaging sensor detecting the UV radiation signature of approaching missiles. The extremely high resolution combined with rapid processing enables very reliable threat identification and virtually eliminates false alarms. Several sensors linked to a Countermeasure Signal Processor provide full spherical coverage and rapid reaction. The system allows flexible installation in either pylons, pods or in the fuselage of fighter aircraft. MILDS F considerably enhances the protection against anti aircraft missiles such as shoulder-fired infrared-guided missiles, which cannot be detected by current warning systems.
MILDS F is currently under implementation into operational use onboard the Royal Danish Airforce F-16A/B Block 15. Here, 6 MILDS F sensors (3 on each wing) and one processor are integrated into TERMA A/S’ Pylon Integrated Dispenser System (PIDS+) and Electronic Combat Integrated Pylon System (ECIPS+) and linked to the AN/ALQ-213 EW Management System. MILDS F is based on the MILDS (Missile Launch Detection System) sensor proven in service aboard a huge variety of rotary wing and wide body aircraft, including Tiger, NH90, CH-53, CH-47 and C-130 and is especially designed to operate in the harsh fighter aircraft environment. MILDS® F is also ideally suited for installation on other fighter aircraft like Tornado, Eurofighter or Gripen.

- Norway Delays F-35 Purchase
HELSINKI - The Norwegian government will delay its purchase of F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, one of the first concrete decisions in a Ministry of Defense (MoD) effort to increase efficiency and reduce costs in 2011-12.
The drive is expected to affect the Armed Forces Command's (AFC's) ability to fund operations and exercises, upgrade garrison facilities and train the Army, Navy and Air Force, opposition party leaders said All three branches may be forced to reduce normal duties, pilot training, land force exercises, sea time for warships and routine air surveillance. Defense Minister Grete Faremo said the delay reflected Norway's desire to buy a "more mature" aircraft at an optimum production cost, not any weakening of confidence in the JSF project, in which Norway is a Tier-3 partner. "We are still fully committed to the JSF project," Faremo said in a Sept. 27 statement. Previously, Norway had planned to accept F-35A training aircraft in 2014 and operational aircraft in 2016 and 2017; those dates have been shifted to 2016 and 2018, she said. Faremo said the United States will bear all expenses related to the delay. She also said the delay will not impede efforts by Norwegian industries to negotiate up to $5 billion in F-35-related offset contracts from U.S. partners. "Norwegian industry has already obtained contracts worth $350 million. Overall, the industry has good prospects to secure contracts for more than $5 billion," Faremo said. The delay will force the MoD to rethink upgrades for the Air Force's F-16s, said Lars Nilssen, an Oslo-based industry analyst. "The military will argue that if the fighter program is being pushed back, then at least some of the current stock of F-16s will need to be upgraded to extend their life-service. There is no budget for this at present, so this is something the government will need to look at," said Nilssen. The delay also pushes back a decision, previously expected next year, among three possible High North locations for the F-35's home base. The government has laid out its proposals to restrain defense spending and seek efficiencies in the MoD's 2011 Planning Foundation document sent to to Norway's chief of defense, Gen. Harald Sunde. The MoD is due to publish its 2011 budget in October. "There are conflicting reports and estimates about what budget will be available to the military in 2011," analyst Nilssen said. "The most reliable data suggests that the budget may be cut by as much as NOK 550 million [$94 million]. The fear is that this lower level of spending will force the military to cut back on training and exercises. A true picture of what the MoD is thinking will become apparent when the 2011 budget plan is published in the next week or so." Norway will spend $6 billion on defense in 2010, including about $1.36 billion on procurement. Important current or upcoming purchases include Nansen-class frigates, NH90 helicopters, Skjold-class corvettes, the Archer artillery system and updated CV90 armored vehicles. The leader of the opposition Progress Party, Siv Jensen, said his party has offered a motion to debate national defense in the Storting, Norway's national parliament. "The cuts in military spending have already gone too far," Jensen said. "We have spent billions on new frigates only to have them stay in port longer because the funding isn't available to put them out to sea. We must have a lot more consistency between our defense ambitions and funding allocations. The military cannot function properly with all these cuts and uncertainties." Faremo has dismissed allegations that the government has weakened its commitment to defense spending and national security. Norway is maintaining a high investment rate, with procurements amounting to between 20 and 25 percent of the total defense budget in 2010, she said Sept. 22 at the Nordic Defense Conference 2010 in Oslo. "We have one of the highest material investment rates in NATO, and one surpassed only by the U.S. and Britain," she said. defensenews | |

The Uranium-free APEX ammunition can be used against both air and ground targets. The ammunition also offers a viable alternative for countries that continue to use aircraft ammunition that contains depleted uranium. The training ammunition is based on Reduced Ricochet Risk technology and provides enhanced safety in connection with firing exercises. Nammo will complete the NOK66m ($10.8m) project by the end of 2012.

- ITT selected to produce submarine-based surveillance systems for Norway
Norwegian ULA class submarine Utstein (KNM 302), seen from a US helicopter, participates in NATO exercise. CLIFTON, N.J. | ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) has won a contract from the Norwegian Defense Logistics Organization to provide six tactical radar Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and surveillance systems for its Ula Class submarines.
ESM systems play an important role in a submarine's defenses. By monitoring electromagnetic energy, the crew can detect, intercept, locate, or analyze sources of those signals to detect other vessels or objects, and determine if any of these are a threat to the submarine. ITT's solution, based on its ES-3701 precision ESM system, is in use by numerous navies around the world. The system is ideally suited for ship, submarine and coastal surveillance, as well as land-based applications. In addition, the equipment has advanced capabilities for long-range radar signal acquisition, classification and intelligence.
"With our established in-country support and ability to offer early delivery of a solution that provides commonality across the Norwegian fleet, ITT is committed to helping Norway achieve its mission," said Bill Devlin, vice president of ITT's Radar Reconnaissance and Acoustic Systems business area. "This win continues to position us as a premier international supplier of ESM systems."
Work will be performed by ITT's Radar, Reconnaissance and Acoustic Systems business area, a leader in global solutions for battlespace situational awareness, electronic warfare and countermeasures.

Fewer Norwegian F-16 scrambles in 2010
The Royal Norwegian Air Force made half as many scrambles to identify Russian aricraft in 2010 compared to the previous year. In all the artic F-16s got airborne 36 times and identified 37 Russian planes, according to the Norwegian broadcasting service NRK.no. This follows the trend over the past two years. In 2009, 77 aircraft were identified against 87 in 2008.
The lower activty is linked to changes in Russian air operations. The Russians have moved its air base for escorting fighters. Flights and training activity follow more north- and western routes into the Norwegian Sea and North Sea, outside the normal sphere of interest of the RNoAF.
There were no reported violations of Norwegian airspace in 2010. There were also no indications that Norwegian targets were the focus of Russian training activities, as it was in 2007 and 2008.
Russia resumed patrols in the Barents region in 2007 after an extended layoff that followed the end of the Cold War. In 2007, NATO fighter jets scrambled 47 times and identified 88 strategic Russian bombers.
