LOCKHEED MARTIN AND TERMA SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE MARITIME HELICOPTER OPPORTUNITY IN DENMARK
LONDON, September 8th, 2009 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and Danish aerospace and defense company Terma A/S today announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore opportunities associated with the potential sale of the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R multimission helicopter to the Danish Government.
The agreement, announced at the Defence Systems & Equipment International exhibition, follows the Danish Government’s June 2009 authorization to procure new ship-based helicopters to support Royal Danish Navy vessels operating in the North Atlantic and internationally. The U.S. Navy’s MH-60R multimission helicopter is a candidate solution for these maritime operations.
“Lockheed Martin and Terma will combine our complementary experience and skills sets should the Danish Government procure the U.S. Navy’s most advanced maritime helicopter,” said Marillyn Hewson, president of Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, NY. “Together, we can offer the Danish Armed Forces high quality technological and support services required to ensure mission and flight readiness of the MH-60R across the 30-year life of the aircraft.”
“Lockheed Martin and Terma share a long and beneficial history of working together in a close partnership, which includes the F-16, C-130 and F-35 programs," said Terma President and CEO Jens Maaløe. "We are therefore very happy and proud, that today with this MOU we extend this cooperation to also include Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego. We very much look forward to combining both companies’ core capabilities on the Danish Maritime Helicopter program, and to investigating a number of other exciting business opportunities.”
Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego is the rotary wing center of excellence for Lockheed Martin Corporation. The company has more than 35 years of experience as a leading mission systems integrator of maritime helicopters, including the British Royal Navy’s Merlin Mk 1 helicopter fleet, and two generations of U.S. Navy helicopters, the SH-60B and the MH-60R.
The MH-60R airframe is designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, with mission systems integration by Lockheed Martin. To date, the two companies have delivered 36 MH-60R aircraft to the U.S. Navy. In July, 2009, a U.S. Navy squadron of 11 MH-60R aircraft completed its first at-sea deployment during six months in the western Pacific with the USS John C. Stennis carrier strike group.
The U.S. Navy has established four of ten planned MH-60R squadrons, and intends to purchase 300 MH-60R aircraft over the next decade. Production plans include capacity for concurrent international sales.
The MH-60R replaces the U.S. Navy’s current fleet of SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters as part of the U.S. Navy’s strategy to reduce different type, model and series maritime helicopters with multi-mission platforms. The MH-60R can perform a wide range of missions from its primary missions of anti-submarine and surface warfare to secondary missions such as search and rescue, vertical replenishment, naval surface fire support, medical evacuation and communications and data relay. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2009/0909si_terma.html |

- Denmark Relaunches Fighter Jet Competition
Defense News
LONDON — Denmark has restarted a competition to select a fighter jet to replace the Air Force’s fleet of F-16s and has reopened the door to a bid from Eurofighter with the Typhoon. Boeing, Eurofighter, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program office and Saab all received official notification via a letter Wednesday informing them that the competition, frozen in 2010 due to economic woes, was back on. The competition will see Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet, the Eurofighter Typhoon, Lockheed Martin’s JSF and Saab Gripen battle for one of the biggest defense procurements ever undertaken by Denmark. The Danish Ministry of Defence confirmed that the Typhoon had been allowed to re-enter the bidding after none of the political parties involved in approving Denmark’s five-year defense budget plans objected.
Eurofighter walked away from the fighter competitions in Denmark and Norway in 2007, expressing dissatisfaction with the procurement process. Reports at the time said the move was prompted by a process that favored the JSF. Denmark is a Tier-3 partner on the Lockheed Martin-led jet development and has invested more than $200 million in the program. Eurofighter, whose bid will be led by the EADS Cassidian defense arm, said it welcomed the invitation from the Danish government to compete. “Eurofighter is pleased to enter into this international competition. We are convinced that Eurofighter will fulfill the Danish requirement,” said a spokesman for the consortium of BAE, EADS and Finmeccanica.
A decision on the winning contractor is set to take place by mid-2015. Denmark originally sought to acquire 48 jets, but that number has been reduced to about 30. No in-service date for the winning aircraft has been released by the Danish MoD, although in a Danish media interview today, the defense minister said the current fleet of F-16s could fly until 2020 or possibly to 2024 before being pensioned off. |

- Thales’s APAR Multi Function Radar Performs Flawlessly on Danish Frigate
The first Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) of Thales’s APAR multifunction radar on the new Iver Huitfeldt class frigates of the Royal Danish Navy was a success. Thanks to the excellent cooperation with the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization, this test could be completed in one week instead of a more usual three weeks.
The test was performed with the first APAR delivered to the Royal Danish Navy, installed on HDMS Peter Willemoes.
In December 2006, the contract was signed for the delivery of the three APAR systems for the Iver Huitfeldt class frigates. Between January 2011 and January 2012 the Factory Acceptance Tests for all three radars were performed and in 2011 and 2012 the systems were installed on the three ships of this class: HDMS Iver Huitfeldt, HSMS Peter Willemoes and HDMS Niels Juel.
Thales Nederland CEO Gerben Edelijn says: “This SAT demonstrates our capability to maintain the highest possible level of product quality over a long period of time. We are proud of the excellent relation with the Royal Danish Navy.”
Following this SAT, there will be a Harbour Acceptance Test later this year to test the ship’s Anti Air Warfare and Fire Control capabilities. The program is scheduled to end early 2014.

| La frégate Iver Huitfeldt La frégate Peter Willmoes Radar APAR en essais à terre un autre article sur ce type de radar monté sur les frégates danoises - Citation :
- Le radar APAR à l’épreuve sur les nouvelles frégates danoises
Le Peter Willemoes, première des trois nouvelles frégates de la marine danoise à devoir être qualifiée avec son APAR, a réalisé avec succès le premier d’une série de tests d’acceptation à la mer de ce radar développé par Thales. D’après l’électronicien, la campagne se passe parfaitement bien, au point qu’elle pourrait être achevée en une semaine seulement, contre trois habituellement pour ce type d’essais. En tout, Thales a produit aux Pays-Bas trois APAR pour les frégates Iver Huitfeldt, Peter Willmoes et Niels Juel. Après les tests d’acceptation en usine, les équipements ont été installés en 2011 et 2012 sur les nouveaux bâtiments, réalisés par le chantier danois d’Odense. A l’issue des essais menés en mer, une nouvelle campagne de tests est prévue au port. Puis, d’ici la fin de l’année, les capacités de l’APAR doivent être qualifiées dans les domaines de la défense aérienne et la conduite de tir. Ceci fait, les frégates seront aptes à être admises au service actif, normalement début 2014. C’est en 2006 que les bâtiments danois ont été commandés dans le cadre du programme Flexible Patrol Ships (FPS). Destinées à remplacer les anciennes frégates du type Niels Juel, ces unités sont dérivées des bâtiments de projection Absalon et Esbern Snare, mis en service en 2005 et dont elles reprennent les lignes de coque. Lancés en 2010 et 2011, les Iver Huitfeldt, Peter Willmoes et Niels Juel, derniers navires construits à Odense avant la fermeture du chantier, mesurent 138.7 mètres de long et présentent un déplacement de plus de 5800 tonnes en charge. Ces frégates sont notamment conçues pour la défense aérienne. A ce titre, elles sont gréées comme les frégates néerlandaises du type LCF et les frégates allemandes du type 124. Elles disposeront de missiles surface-air à lancement vertical SM-2 MR (32) et ESSM (24), ainsi que, pour la détection et la conduite de tir, d’un radar de veille à longue portée SMART L (400 km) et un radar multifonctions APAR. Doté de quatre faces planes, composée chacune de plus de 3000 transmetteurs/récepteurs, l'APAR (Active Phased Array Radar) permet une détection permanente à 360 degrés, chaque antenne pouvant pointer un objet sur un azimut de 120 degrés et une élévation de 85 degrés. Capable de suivre plus de 350 pistes, il peut détecter et traquer des mobiles évoluant à faible altitude. Servant également au guidage terminal des missiles surface-air, avec capacité d’engagement multiple, l'APAR, dont la portée est estimée à 150 km, a été conçu pour être mis en oeuvre dans un environnement très contraint et déjouer de puissantes contre-mesures électroniques. En dehors de ces équipements, les FPS pourront embarquer jusqu’à 16 missiles antinavire Harpoon et disposent de quatre tubes pour torpilles MU90. L’artillerie comprend pour le moment deux emplacements pour des tourelles de 76mm à l’avant, ainsi qu’un canon de 35mm à l’arrière. Un second affût de ce type pourrait toutefois être installé en lieu et place du 76mm situé devant la passerelle, la seconde tourelle de ce type étant susceptible d’être remplacée par une pièce de 127mm. Armées par un équipage de 110 marins et pouvant accueillir 50 passagers, les nouvelles frégates danoises seront en mesure d’embarquer un hélicoptère AW-101. Leur propulsion, basée sur quatre moteurs diesels MTU, développe une puissance de plus de 32 MW, autorisant une vitesse maximale de 28 nœuds. L’autonomie est très importante puisqu’elle doit atteindre 9000 milles à 15 nœuds.

- VBCI : premiers tours de roues au Danemark
Le 8×8 de Nexter vient d’effectuer ses premiers tours de roues au Danemark, dans le cadre d’une compétition visant à fournir à Copenhague un successeur au M113. Ce dernier, entré en service il y a déjà un demi-siècle, est aujourd’hui totalement incapable de faire face aux niveaux de menaces et aux attentes propres aux opérations internationales. De toute évidence, les Danois veulent rapidement siffler la fin de la récré : l’appel d’offre a été lancé à l’été dernier et la sélection du vainqueur est anticipée pour le début 2014. Le besoin annoncé est fluctuant, de 200 (hypothèse basse) à 400 véhicules (hypothèse hausse), avec dans un premier temps des transports de troupes qui seront suivis par d’autres véhicules spécialisés. Même si la conjoncture économique plaiderait plutôt pour une hypothèse basse, le marché est très convoité à en juger par le nombre de concurrents. Huit ont répondu aux demandes d’information et six ont été « short listés ». Les deux éliminés sont le Boxer de KMW/Rheinmetall et l’AMV de Patria. Il reste en lice quatre véhicules chenillés et deux à roues, le VBCI retrouvant dans cette deuxième catégorie le Piranha 5 de General Dynamics. Quatre mois d’essais intensifs devraient permettre à l’armée danoise de trouver son champion, ou pourquoi pas « ses » champions pour le cas où le Danemark choisirait de couper la poire en deux entre véhicules chenillés et à roues. Le VBCI arrive dans le royaume nordique fort de deux prestations particulièrement réussies, en Afghanistan tout d’abord et plus récemment au Mali. Dans le cadre de l’opération Serval, le 8×8 a sans doute écrit quelques-unes des pages les plus impressionnantes de sa jeune histoire, avec un raid de plus de 2500 kilomètres sur les routes et les pistes maliennes pour rejoindre la zone de combat. Optiques et canon de 25mm ont ensuite pu donner la pleine mesure de leurs capacités en appui de l’infanterie, avec des engagements à plus de 2000m.

Denmark orders Heavy Tactical Recovery Vehicles from RMMV
Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) is supplying the Danish armed forces with 14 heavyweight protected recovery vehicles.
Weighing some 36 tons, the Heavy Tactical Recovery Vehicle (HTRV) is based on the tried-and-tested RMMV SX45 8x8 chassis, combining extreme stability, safety and crew comfort with outstanding manoeuvrability, whether on the road or in the toughest terrain. Thanks to its integrated Miller recovery module, the RMMV HTVR is able to recover heavy disabled vehicles weighing up to 40 tons or containers weighing up to 17 tons – quickly and safely, even under the most extreme conditions. The RMMV HTRV thus ideally complements the array of equipment fielded by modern armies: many of the tactical and logistical vehicles with protective modules used in deployed operations today have become heavier, making a high-performance recovery capacity imperative.
Level 3/3 ballistic and anti-mine protection keep the crew safe from small arms fire and IED blasts.
The recovery module of the RMMV HTRV is made by the US company Miller Industries Towing Equipment Inc. of Ooltewah, Tennessee. Miller is the global leader in recovery vehicles. The RMMV HTRV is equipped with a heavy rotator recovery and lifting crane with an output of 75 mt, together with two independently controllable Rotzler HZ090 winches and a Rotzler TR200 main recovery winch with 30-ton tractive force. It also features various mission-specific items of equipment. Integration of the Miller recovery module will take place at MAN Trucks Bus in Denmark, thus constituting a 100% offset transaction.
The Danish armed forces will be the first on the European mainland to introduce the RMMV HTRV. Denmark already has a number of tactical and logistical vehicles from the company’s HX and SX families in its inventory.
Delivery begins in the first quarter of 2014, and is scheduled to conclude in the second quarter of 2015.

- Danish Chief of Defence: Fighter Replacement on Track
WASHINGTON — Denmark’s ranking military officer “strongly believes” his country will settle on its next-generation fighter design by mid-2015, expressing confidence in a timetable laid out earlier this year.
“I don’t sense any weaknesses in having this decision,” Gen. Peter Bartram, Danish chief of defense, said this morning. “I believe it will be there.”
Holding to that date is important as the life-cycle costs on the F-16 will reach untenable levels within the next decade, Bartram said.
“The reason why 2015 is relevant is, we all know it takes time to implement a new type of aircraft,” he said. “I can look at the life-cycle cost of my F-16s, which have been brilliant aircraft, and it is becoming extremely expensive.”
“I could probably prolong the time the F-16 could be active, but the spare parts, the logistics and the cost of having to keep them operational” would quickly become too expensive, he said. “We need to move forward.”
Bartram made his comments during an event hosted by the American-Danish Business Council at the Danish Embassy in Washington.
As part of his opening comments, Bartram spoke at length about the need for coalition partners and “smart defense” —sharing logistics and designs with other nations to help cut down costs. That will play a role in which fighter Denmark settles on.
“It matters to some extent whether we are the only one in future conflicts who have that kind of aircraft or vehicle” he said. “If we are the only one, we need to bring the logistics chain on our own. If we know other nations will have the same kind of equipment, you can at least expect there is potential for doing something on the logistics side.”
Finding a design that is used by many partners would be a positive in the eyes of the Danish military, he added.
“There will be tons of parameters,” Bartram said. “But if you’re looking at the smart defense aspect, it will be an advantage in that very focused area. Of course it will have an impact.”
That may give the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter an edge in the competition. In his speech, Bartram identified the US, UK and France as the three biggest allies for the Danish military, and both the US and UK plan to purchase large numbers of F-35s.
The JSF also has the advantage of economic ties to Denmark. The country is one of eight partner nations involved in funding the fifth-generation jet, and Denmark’s largest defense company Terma is part of the global supply chain for the fighter. Norway and the Netherlands, which share a water border with Denmark, are also partners on the program.
Denmark has eyed a replacement for their aging F-16 fleet for years. The competition was in the early stages in 2010 when economic woes forced the government to pause the program. It was officially relaunched in March, but with a reduced buy —30 fighters instead of 48.
Saab’s Gripen NG, Eurofighter’s Typhoon, Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet, and Lockheed’s F-35 were all invited by the Danish military to compete for the award.

- Danish Army issues RFP for M109A3 self-propelled howitzer replacement
28 May 2013
A request for information (RFI) has been issued by the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) seeking a new 155mm self-propelled gun for replacement of the national army's ageing M109A3 155mm self-propelled howitzer fleet.
Primarily aimed at replacing the army's remaining 32 M109A3 howitzers, the RFI is seeking 15 new weapons that can either be wheeled or tracked, and should support installation of a self-defence weapon, as reported by Shephard.
Capable of carrying a crew of five, the weapons should be able to achieve a range of at least 40km firing extended range ammunition, and a burst rate of six rounds per minute.
The RFI seeks submission of bids for between nine and 21 systems by 17 June, while evaluation of the responses resulting in selection of three or four manufacturers is scheduled to take place throughout July.
Short-listed candidates will proceed to a comprehensive evaluation programme that will complete in late 2013 or early 2014, followed by the signing of the procurement contract in the middle of the same year.
The contract will also feature a ten-year support, spare parts and maintenance package.Likely contenders include BAE Systems Bofors' 155/52calibre wheeled Archer, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann-built 155/52calibre tracked Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000), and Nexter 155/52-calibre wheeled CAmion Equipé d'un Système d'ARtillerie (CAESAR), amongst others.
DALO reportedly discussed the production and acquisition of Archer with Norway and Sweden, but withdrew in 2007 before signing a co-operation agreement.
Around 48 Archer systems, including 24 units each for Sweden and Norway, are currently being manufactured by BAE Systems Bofors.
The Danish Artillery Regiment features one artillery battalion and an ISTAR battalion, which is also responsible for training recuits.
In addition, the regiment deployed M/10 120mm towed mortars in support of the Danish troops serving with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.

- Danish AW101s to get MX-15 sensor fit
Denmark is to perform an equipment upgrade on some of its air force AgustaWestland AW101 helicopters, with the aircraft to be fitted with L-3 Wescam's MX-15 electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor.
Announced by the supplier on 2 September, Copenhagen's acquisition and sustainment contract will provide "a minimum of eight MX-15 imaging systems". Deliveries should conclude by 2014, it adds, with the new sensors to be installed by Denmark's Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation. Certification activities will be managed by AgustaWestland.
"The newly equipped AW101s will then be deployed to the Royal Danish Air Force's 722 Sqn in tactical troop transport operations, training exercises within Denmark and possible future use in mission theatres globally," L-3 Wescam says.
The Royal Danish Air Force operates 14 AW101s, which Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets database records as having been built between 2005 and 2009. Part of the service's fleet is tasked with providing search and rescue cover from its Karup air base, with these aircraft having been delivered with FLIR Systems Star Safire II EO/IR sensors.

- Terma Announces Two Mid-Life Upgrade Contracts with the Danish Navy
2013-09-09:
Terma will supply the SCANTER 4100 Radar and C-Flex Command & Control System for the Danish Navy’s THETIS-class Ocean Patrol Vessels.
DSEi 2013, London - The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has chosen Terma’s solutions for its Mid-Life Upgrade of the Danish Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs). During the next four years, the THETIS-class OPVs will be updated with the SCANTER 4100 radar and the C-Flex command & Control System. Royal Danish Navy THETIS-class OPV (photo: Royal Danish Navy)
Terma will deliver four SCANTER 4100 radar systems, with an option for an additional four systems. The additional systems are aimed at training at the Danish Navy’s schools, as well as extra systems for the KNUD RASMUSSEN-class OPVs, which the Danish government in 2012 decided to expand with an additional ship. Furthermore, Terma is to support the deliveries with spare parts and technical preparedness.
Thomas Blom, Vice President, Naval, is very pleased with contract: “We are proud that the Royal Danish Navy once again has selected Terma as their supplier of solutions for the Danish vessels. This is an invaluable sign of trust, and a stamp of quality for our products”.
The first radar must be operational in mid-2014, and the remaining radars towards the end of 2014. Among others, Terma has already supplied the SCANTER 4100 radar to Royal Navy’s HMS Clyde and the Brazilian Navy’s Amazonas-class.
The C-Flex Command & Control system will replace the ship’s existing C3 solution. C-Flex will support the full mission cycle in maritime domain security and surveillance by integrating the shipboard sensor and weapon systems to generate a real-time confident situational awareness display that can be shared in full over datalink.
Today, the Terma C-Flex is the preferred solution across the Royal Danish Navy’s platforms and supplied in customized versions to a number of navies throughout the world, including the Romanian Navy, the Royal Thai Navy, and other ASEAN countries.
The Danish Navy’s four THETIS-class OPVs have been operating successfully in the Northern Atlantic seas surrounding Greenland and The Faroe Islands for 20 years. With the Mid-Life Upgrades, the ships will continue to patrol the Arctic waters for years to come. http://www.terma.com | |

LONDON -- Lockheed Martin Corp. is setting its sights on Denmark as the next prospective European buyer of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighters as the world's largest defense company seeks to replicate the sales success of its F-16.Denmark, which participated in the F-35's development phase, will initiate a fighter competition toward the year's end, and a decision is likely in 2014, said Steve O'Bryan, the company's program vice president.The Netherlands committed this week to buying the F-35, the world's most expensive weapons program, joining Norway in recreating a group of European states that jointly bought F-16s in the 1970s. Denmark and Belgium rounded out the partnership."This is a huge win for the program and another statement of support," O'Bryan said. "The F-35 is well on its way to becoming the next NATO fighter just like the F-16."In Denmark, Boeing is looking to offer the F/A-18, Saab its Gripen fighter, and the Eurofighter Typhoon consortium that includes BAE Systems and European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. Denmark is expected to buy about 30 jets.Development issues and Pentagon concerns over cost of the jet slowed international commitments to the Lockheed Martin plane built in conjunction with Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. As costs have come down, opposition in countries such as the Netherlands to buying the jet has eased.
The Dutch commitment, which came after the country bought two test planes, is not without its setbacks. The country trimmed its purchase to 37 planes from an initial plan to procure 85. The government said it may order additional aircraft in future, "financial parameters" permitting."Costs are coming down rapidly" below government estimates, O'Bryan said.The first operational Dutch F-35s are due in 2019. The country, whose purchase still needs to be ratified by parliament, joins Norway and Italy among European states committed to buying the aircraft, with Israel and Japan among other foreign buyers.Britain, which has already bought test planes, will make a decision on buying the first 12 to 14 operational fighters this year, Philip Dunne, the country's defense equipment minister said last week. Costs of the plane have come down faster than expected, he said.Britain, which will deploy the aircraft on its new aircraft carriers from about 2020, has not said how many JSFs it plans to buy overall beyond an initial commitment of 48 fighters.Norway and Britain have agreed to cooperate on their maintenance and use. The Norwegian government said Sept. 17 it would seek to extend that cooperation to the Netherlands.Those relationships should help lower usage costs across Europe, which would be further aided by U.S. F-35s jets deployed in the region, O'Bryan said. It would clear the way for a sharing of parts and experience.
