The Colombian Air Force has ordered one more Airbus Military C295 to add to the five examples already ordered for use on military transport and humanitarian aid duties.
Since accepting its first C295 in 2008 the CAF has steadily increased its fleet of the type and now operates four with two more to be delivered. It also operates six Airbus Military CN235-200s and six of the smaller C212.
Airbus Military Senior Vice President Commercial, Antonio Rodríguez-Barberán, said: “This second C295 order from Colombia in 2012 is deeply satisfying and confirms the C295´s excellent reputation with the Colombian Air Force.” This latest order brings the number of Airbus Military C295s and CN235s sold this year to 32 and takes total C295 orders to 115, with 93 currently in operation in 15 countries.

Cassidian Optronics modernizes sighting systems of Colombian Navy submarines
Cassidian Optronics improves the mission effectiveness of the 209 class submarines of the Colombian Navy by installing state-of-the-art sighting systems. After the already ordered refurbishment of an attack periscope, the Colombian Navy has now ordered a SERO 250 search periscope from Cassidian Optronics for a 209 Class submarine. Cassidian Optronics is the well-known producer of optronic mast systems and periscopes for submarines, formerly known as Carl Zeiss Optronics.
Cassidian Optronics Submarines Mast on Class 209 Submarine (picture: Cassidian Optronics)
This contract is the first in a series of contracts aimed at the final replacement of all current optical systems on board the existing Class 209 submarines of the Colombian Navy. These submarines were commissioned in 1975 and are now in an overhaul and upgrade phase. The current programme is under contract to the German shipbuilding company HDW in Kiel. Cassidian Optronics' SERO 250 was chosen because it is a modern and cost effective plug-in solution replacing older periscopes without having to make major modifications to the boat.
One of the main criteria for a periscope upgrade in submarines is the increase in capabilities. The SERO 250 periscope is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors. These include a new generation infrared sensor, offering the crew a night vision capability. It was specifically designed for the submarine refit market to replace legacy systems with minimal platform adaptation. In the integration process local partners in Columbia will be involved.
Previously, Cassidian Optronics won different programmes within the retrofit market, including the upgrade programme of the Turkish Navy's AY-Class submarines. (More information about Cassidian Optronics maritime solutions under.

Colombian Army Takes Delivery of Five S-70i Black Hawk Helicopters
(Source: Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.; issued March 21, 2013)
STRATFORD, Conn. --- The Colombian Army has formally inducted five new Sikorsky S-70i multi-mission helicopters into its fleet of Black Hawk aircraft. Colombia is the first South American country to buy the S-70i Black Hawk helicopter variant from Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).
"We are honored by the trust the Colombian Armed Forces continue to place in Sikorsky, and in the Black Hawk aircraft as the country's utility helicopter of choice," said Jennifer Caruso, Sikorsky Vice President of Army and Air Force Programs.
The aircraft were accepted during a Feb. 11 ceremony in Tolemaida attended by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon.
Built at Sikorsky's aircraft manufacturing facility in Mielec, Poland, the five aircraft were custom-equipped in the United States for the Special Forces of the Colombian Army's Air Assault Division.
A team of Colombian pilots and maintainers flew the five aircraft from Connecticut 4,334 miles (6,975 km) via Central America to the Army Special Operation Aviation Military base in Tolemaida, arriving Jan. 30 following 10 days of flight.
Before departing Connecticut, the Colombian team received extensive training from Sikorsky to become familiar with the S-70i aircraft's digital cockpit and advanced avionics. The system includes a dual GPS/INS system with digital map that provides accurate navigation and enhanced situational awareness. The team also graduated instructor pilots and maintainers to train others in their unit.
The five S-70i aircraft join a fleet of 96 UH-60L helicopters operated by the Colombian National Police, Colombian Air Force, and Colombian Army —accounting for the world's fourth-largest Black Hawk fleet. Military forces in almost 30 countries operate more than 3,000 Black Hawk aircraft for a variety of missions, including troop transport and air assault, cargo lift, search and rescue, and VIP transport.
Sold directly by Sikorsky to international militaries and government agencies, the S-70i helicopter delivers the same power and lift performance as S-70M Black Hawk aircraft. The S-70i model can be customized easily by Sikorsky to specific mission needs, to include radar, ballistic protection, medical litters, extended range fuel tanks, an external rescue hoist, and cargo hook among other features.

Nexter partie comme favori L'armée colombienne va sélectionnée dans les prochains jours des obusiers de 105 mm
06/06/2013
(Infodefensa.com) E. Saumeth, Cartagena de Indias - dans les prochains jours l'armée colombienne, par le biais de sa direction de l'artillerie armée (à la tête de la Lieutenant Colonel Álvaro Bocanegra), de faire progresser la sélection et le choix de l'artillerie de 105 mm par des nouveaux obusiers qui fera l'acquisition par cette nation, comme il l'avait déjà annoncé.
Les finalistes du processus ont été LG1 MK III, de Nexter System, offert à $2 300 000, le HawkEye du Groupe Mandus (USA), offert à 1 650 000 $ et modélise les BNT M56 (Bosnie), a offert à 1 300 000 $. Noter ici, que les promoteurs américains et bosniaques ont offert en plus le transfert de technologie du gouvernement colombien doivent être retenues.
Offres finales ont été remis la semaine dernière, après quatre études du marketing, ayant été exigé comme condition, que ces offres viennent avec garanties d'usine (annotés afin d'assurer la validité), point de rencontre de propositions bosniaque et américaine, mais apparemment violé en partie par la proposition française, car ils n'étaient pas attachés les certifications de navigateurs terrestres KN-4051 intégrées produites par la société Kearfott.
Le processus a été déplacé vers l'avant selon la fiche technique JELOG-stephane-FT-00062, cependant, changements découlent au septième alinéa du même, par diverses gammes d'élévation de - 180 à - 100, ainsi que les limites supérieures qui ont diminué de 1 000 à 1 200, ignorée à ce jour, les raisons de ce changement dans les conditions techniques, les quatre propositions d'ouvrir leurtrois (Norinco AH5, HawkEye et M56 BNT), satisfait aux exigences originales décrites dans le paragraphe ci-dessus.
Puis l'attente de la décision pour les prochains jours qui mènera à une demande initiale 6 morceaux obusiers pour former une batterie neuve, l'offre préférée (et le plus cher) est Nexter avec son LG1 MK III, modèle déjà en service en Colombie.

Colombian Air Force flies for first time at Ex Maple Flag
For the first time ever, the Colombian Air Force is participating in one of the greatest international operational training exercises, "Exercise Maple Flag", which is being held from May 27 through June 21 at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alta. Altogether, we brought six A-29 Super Tucano combat aircraft, a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and a KC-767 refuelling aircraft to the exercise. This journey began on May 12 when the Super Tucanos and the Hercules, with support personnel on board, took off from Barranquilla, Colombia for a three-day, 20-hour, 6,700 kilometre journey from Colombia through Kingston, Jamaica; Homestead, Florida; Maxwell, Alabama; Scott, Illinois; Sioux Falls and Regina, Canada, to finally arrive in Cold Lake, Alberta. The FAC (Spanish acronym for Colombian Air Force) was invited to attend Exercise Maple Flag as an observer nation in 2012. With commitment and responsibility, FAC Commander General Tito Saul Pinilla Pinilla accepted the invitation to underscore the FAC’s interest in developing a strategic vision, supported by increased levels of training related to combined operations, and with the goal of standardizing our procedures in accordance with NATO doctrine. To achieve that goal, Colombian crews have performed three large force employment exercises during the last eights months, involving most of the fighter squadrons in Colombia, supported by air-air refuelling aircraft such as the KC-767 and KC-137 and transport aircraft such as the C-130 and C-295. The entire exercises were conducted in English so that the crews would be better prepared for success in Exercise Maple Flag 46, thus maintaining the good will and outstanding performance demonstrated previously at the United States Air Force’s Exercise Red Flag, which we participated in last year. The Colombian Air Force was created in 1919 and it is characterized as a 24 / 7 operating force due to the constant internal conflict in the country. That is why the Colombian crews have reached [generally speaking] the highest levels of training and experience in counter-insurgency operations to fulfill its mission statement: "To exercise and maintain airspace control, to conduct operations and defend the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, national constitutional order and the State's purpose achievement." For example, knowing the growing trend in precision attacks and night combat missions using night vision goggles (NVG), the FAC commander decided to increase the attack capabilities of the force by choosing the A-29 Super Tucano as a completely new NVG-compatible player in the conflict. This turbo-propeller, single engine, two-seater aircraft is designed to accomplish attack, air patrol, combat, close air support and air interdiction missions with a range of up to 860 kilometres with the use of external tanks. Simultaneously, the Super Tucano is employed for advanced training at its home base, the 2nd Air Combat Command (CACOM-2), which is one of 15 air bases spread all over the country. CACOM 2 is located near by Villavicencio City, in the eastern part of Colombia, where the A-29 has been responsible of several of the most important strikes to narco-terrorist structures, making this base the most operationally busy one in Latin America. The Colombian team would not be complete without "the tanker"; ours is a modified Boeing 767-200ER as a multi-mission tanker transport which, among its multiple capabilities, performs air-to-air refueling with the Kfir [a fighter aircraft] and A-37B [light attack] aircraft. This kind of procedure allows aircraft to considerably extend their range and/or endurance requirement for a given situation to support any allied country with one objective: to protect friendly forces and get the mission accomplished. In 2012, NATO unanimously voted for Colombia to be included in the NATO doctrine publication, ATP – 56 AAR, as an allied nation, making the Colombian Air Force eligible to participate in air refueling interoperability agreements with any NATO members and its allies. During the first week of Exercise Maple Flag at 4 Wing, the tanker was able to perform its first connection with a NATO CF-18 as part of the Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot training, in accordance with all the protocol, rules and safety procedures required to confirm the Colombian Air Force interoperability in order to become the first Latin American force to execute this kind of operation with the RCAF. The C-130 Hercules aircraft, belonging to 811 Squadron from the Military Heavy Air Transport Command (CATAM), is responsible for all military tactics airlift operations and special transport operations such as troop infiltration and parachute cargo drop under enemy threat environment, most of the time using NVG. In order to get as much training experience as they could during the exercise, the Colombian Air Force brought a select group named ACOEA's Special Forces (a Spanish acronym for Aerial Special Officers Team). These officers and enlisted members will participate in GPS-guided cargo deployment, static line paratrooper insertion, high altitude jump-low altitude parachute opening (HILO) and high altitude jump-high altitude parachute opening (HIHO) missions over the Cold Lake Weapons Range. The 120-person Colombian team is composed of military pilots, navigators, ground crew, air defence officers, maintenance officers, logistic personnel, security and base defense personnel who have been chosen to participate in this exercise for knowing what they are doing and most important, for being the best at it, all of them led by the CACOM-2 commander, Brigadier-General Pedro Ignacio Lozano Quinche. Thanks to their joint effort, all of the Colombian aircraft and their crews are having this great opportunity to share interoperability scenarios with allied countries and to show the world Colombian professionalism and high capacities that have led them to become a regional and global benchmark.

La Colombie et l’Otan vont coopérer
28 juin 2013 – 13:37
Le secrétaire général délégué de l’Alliance atlantique, Alexander Vershbow, et le ministre colombien de la Défense, M. Juan Carlos Pinzon Bueno, ont signé, le 25 juin, à Bruxelles, un accord portant sur la sécurité des informations, ce qui permettra aux deux parties “d’explorer des pistes de coopération et de consultation dans des domaines présentant un intérêt commun.” En outre, les forces armées colombiennes pourront prendre part à des exercices planifiés par l’Otan.
“En tant qu’Alliance démocratique, nous sommes honorés lorsque des pays partageant des valeurs communes se rapprochent de nous”, a commenté Alexander Vershbow. Bien évidemment, cet accord, inédit pour l’Amérique du Sud mais pas pour l’Otan, étant donné que cette dernière a déjà noué des partenariats avec des pays non-européens, comme par exemple l’Australie, n’a pa manqué de créer une polémique dans un continent idélogiquement marqué par la gauche anti-libérale et “anti-impérialiste” lors de l’annonce de ce rapprochement.
“Cette demande de faire partie de l’Otan est une menace pour notre continent (…), c’est une agression, une provocation, une conspiration contre les gouvernements anti-impérialistes (comme) le Venezuela, le Nicaragua, l’Equateur et la Bolivie”, s’est ainsi insurgé Evo Morales, le président bolivien, Evo Morales. Et d’ajouter : “L’Otan est devenu un instrument d’intervention dans le monde entier (…) afin de récupérer les ressources naturelles.” D’où sa demande de convoquer en “urgence le conseul de sécurité de l’Unasur”, l’Unon des nations sud-américains dont fait partie la Colombie.
Le président du Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, n’a pas fait non plus dans la demi-mesure en qualifiant ce rapprochement entre l’Otan et la Colombie de “coup de poignard dans le coeur des peuples de notre Amérique.” Même tonalité chez son homologue vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro, qui a affirmé que “certains essayaient désormais de faire venir les armées d’invasion en Amérique latine. Cela contredit la doctrine et la légalité internationale sur laquelle se base l’union” régionale.”
Cette vague de protestations a été causée par l’ambiguité des propos tenus le 1er juin par Juan Manuel Santos, le président colombien. Ce dernier a en effet parlé d’un “processus de rapprochement”, laissant entendre que son pays avait l’intention d’intégrer l’Otan.
Du coup, son ministre de la Défense a été obligé de rectifier le tir en publiant un communiqué pour expliquer les intentions de Bogota. “La Colombie ne prétend pas et ne peut être membre de l’OTAN”, a-t-il ainsi affirmé en précisant que l’objectif est de mettre en plac des “mécanismes de coopération” pour faire valoir “la connaissance de la Colombie en matière de sécurité”, après un demi-siècle de conflit armé avec des guérillas.
“L’accord doit aussi permettre à l’armée colombienne de profiter des expériences internationales”, a poursuivi le ministre. Et d’insister : “Aucun effort de coopération de ce type n’implique la présence de troupes étrangères sur le territoire colombien”
Et le fait est, il n’est nullement question d’une éventuelle adhésion. “L’objectif de la Colombie n’était pas “de faire partie de l’Otan” mais d’”apprendre de l’Otan” et de “partager” des expériences, notamment dans la lutte anti-drogue ou anti-terroriste”, a insisté Juan Carlos Pinzon Bueno, le jour de la signature de l’accord.
“L’expérience acquise par la Colombie dans le renforcement de l’intégrité au sein du secteur militaire est précisément le genre de contribution importante qui illustre bien la valeur ajoutée que peut apporter la coopération”, a confirmé Alexander Vershbow, le jour de la signature de l’accord.
Et si l’Otan cherche à établir un vaste réseau de partenaires, “c’est parce que des problèmes mondiaux appellent des solutions mondiales”, a encore précisé le secrétaire général adjoint. “La sécurité coopérative, par le développement des partenariats, est l’une des grandes priorités de l’Alliance. Depuis deux décennies, les partenariats de l’OTAN sont une réussite incontestable”, a-t-il conclu.
