IAI pulls plug on unmanned helicopter conversions
By Arie Egozi

Israel Aerospace Industries will not invest additional money in converting manned helicopters into unmanned platforms, a senior source says.

While the company's efforts to date had looked like a "reasonable" investment, tests made with some platforms have highlighted the shortcomings of such products.

"The main problem is the short endurance of such a platform. An unmanned rotorcraft should be designed as such from scratch to make it very efficient for the missions," the source says.

In recent years, IAI has been involved in an effort to assist India's Hindustan Aeronautics in using an existing helicopter for unmanned operations. However, the work was not fully budgeted by India, and IAI ceased its active involvement due to the lack of a customer.

While it intends to step back from such work on adapting manned platforms, IAI has recently revealed some details about its efforts in the small unmanned rotorcraft sector. One example is its developmental "Ghost" reconnaissance design, which has a maximum take-off weight of 4kg (8.8lb), a top speed of 35kt (65km/h) and an endurance of 25min.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Elbit Systems are launching a joint venture aimed at acquiring, operating and maintaining advanced training aircraft for the israel Air Force. The JV will operate under “Joint Entity” established under an agreement signed by the two companies today. The two companies will own equal shares in the new company. Certain portions of the Project’s work scope will be acquired from IAI and Elbit Systems, respectively, in accordance with a work sharing plan determined by the two sides.

The Israel MoD is currently reviewing contractual possibilities with regards to the Project, based on a request for information (RFI). The two companies are planning to submit a response to this RFI in the coming days, through the Joint Entity. Given the substantial value of the aircraft procurement and MOD commitment for through life cycle cost reimbursment, the value of the projected contract is expected to be substantial to both companies. The scope and long term commitment of the companies and customer could justify financing part of the program by raising capital by in a public offering.
In the framework of a contract for the Project, it is expected that the Joint Entity will seek sources of financing for the establishment of infrastructure, procurement of aircraft, spares, and support equipment, simulators and other taining aids. The IAF has evaluated several options and is currently considering either the South Korean T-50, proposed jointly by Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) and Lockheed Martin or the Italian M-346 from Alenia Aermacchi, (derivative of the Russian Yak-130). Both aircraft are offered with advanced virtual avionics suite, enabling the trainers to depict the cockpit layout and functionality of state of the art fighters such as the F-16I Block 50/52 (Sufa), F-15I and future F-35.
According to the Agreement, the scope of the Project will be divided to the extent possible equally between Elbit Systems and IAI, and if required, balancing arrangements will be established between the two companies.
Leasing basic, intermediate and advanced trainers to air forces has become a big business for major system integrators, with primes such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems embarking on such ventures in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Singapore. The Israel Air Force has contracted Elbit Systems and IAI private financeing initiatives for the operation of basic trainers, simulator farms, and maintenance of lead-in trainers. The expected contract for the advanced trainer expected to add significant volume to such initiatives.
IAI and Elbit Systems have already established several JVs for the joint development and marketing of unmanned ground vehicles (G-NIUS). Other joint operations has not been successful, due to firece competition between the two companies.

L'interception des commandos israeliens et de l'avion iranien par les turcs n'ont rien a voir.

Les premiéres informations révelent que ses armes sont arrivé en syrie par bateau sur le pétrolier ravitailleur iranien entré en méditeranée derniérement, ce sont des agents israéliens dans le port de lattiquié et des photos satellites qui ont identifié et tracé les conteneurs dechargé du ravitailleur iranien,ensuite les syriens ont envoyés ces conteneurs dans le port turc de mersin pour brouillé les pistes avant de les acheminé vers le port d'alexandrie puis vers gaza.

C'est alors que le premier ministre a prit la décision d'intercepté en haute mer les armes iraniennes et de crée un nouveau flag.

Il faut aussi savoir que dans le méme temps les egyptiens ont intercepté un convoie terrestre d'armes a destinations de gaza venu du soudan,bref la guerre de l'ombre fait rage.

Israeli Air Force Receives Three Firefighting Aircraft



The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has received three Air Tractor F-802 firefighting aircraft at the Sde Dov air force base, which will become a part of the IAF's new firefighting unit.
Air Tractor F-802 aircraft possess one engine, can fly for three hours without refuelling and are capable of carrying 3,000 litres of water.
IAF Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Nimrod Sheffer, said the aircraft would significantly improve Israel's ability to fight fires.
"I hope that these planes will only go out on training missions and that we will not need them for operational missions," he added.

Israel to Deploy More 'Iron Dome' Anti-Rocket Defenses


JERUSALEM - Israel is planning to deploy four more batteries of its "Iron Dome" short-range missile defense system, Defence Minister Ehud Barak said on April 3
Speaking on military radio, Barak said: "With the financial help of the Americans, we hope to equip ourselves with four new 'Iron Dome' batteries so we will have six in operation in the next two years."
He added that a second battery would soon be operational on the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip.
The first battery of the unique multi-million dollar system came into operation a week ago, stationed outside the southern city of Beersheva, in the Negev desert, just days after it was hit by several Grad rockets fired from the Gaza Strip amid a rise in tensions and tit-for-tat violence.
The system, the first of its kind in the world and still at the experimental stage, is not yet able to provide complete protection against the hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel, officials have said.
The system, developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defence Systems with the help of U.S. funding, is designed to intercept rockets and artillery shells fired from a range of between 4 kilometers and 70 kilometers (3 miles and 45 miles).
Each battery comprises detection and tracking radar, state-of-the-art fire control software and three launchers, each with 20 interceptor missiles, military sources said.
Militants in Gaza and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia have fired thousands of projectiles at Israel in the past.
According to plans, the system will first be deployed along the border of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, from where militants fired a daily barrage of improvised rockets prompting Israel to launch a devastating 22-day offensive in December 2008.
It will then be deployed along the Lebanese border, from where Hezbollah militants fired some 4,000 rockets into northern Israel during a 2006 war. It was that experience which prompted the development of Iron Dome.
Israel believes Hezbollah now has an arsenal of some 40,000 rockets.
But a complete deployment is expected to take several years.
In May last year, U.S. President Barack Obama asked Congress to give Israel 205 million dollars to develop the system, on top of the annual three billion dollars Israel receives from Washington.
Iron Dome will join the Arrow long-range ballistic missile defense system in an ambitious multi-layered programme to protect Israeli cities from rockets and missiles fired from Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, Syria and Iran.
A third system, known as David's Sling, is currently being developed with the aim of countering medium-range missiles.

Israël veut acheter un sous-marin allemand ... avec un énorme rabais


Lors de son prochain voyage en Allemagne, le premier israélien, Benjamin Netanyahou, prévoit de demander à Berlin un 6è sous-marin de la classe Berlin pour augmenter la dissuasion.

Le premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahou, qui se rend mercredi en Allemagne, va demander à Berlin de vendre à Israël un 6è sous-marin avec un important rabais, indique un responsable.
Les discutions sur la vente du sous-marin Dolphin ont été bloquées l’an dernier, après que les Allemands aient refusé d’en réduire le prix, comme ils l’avaient fait pour les ventes précédentes. Israël souhaite obtenir un rabais pouvant aller jusqu’au tiers des 500 à 700 millions $ que coute le nouveau Dolphin.
« Nous espérons encore obtenir une réduction du prix, et le premier ministre va aborder cette question » au cours d’une réunion avec la Chancelière allemande Angela Merkel, prévue pour jeudi, indique le responsable israélien sans donner de précision.
L’agitation politique au Moyen-Orien a conduit Israël à augmenter ses dépenses militaires, ce qui pourrait lui permettre de payer une part plus importante du nouveau Dolphin. Les sous-marins classiques sont généralement considérés comme une protection d’avant-garde contre les ennemis comme l’Iran.
Israël dispose déjà de 3 sous-marins Dolphin opérationnels, et 2 autres sont en construction en Allemagne. Leur livraison est prévue dans les 2 prochaines années.
De son côté, l’Allemagne rencontre actuellement des difficultés budgétaires, et les partis d’opposition, en particulier les écologistes, sont fermement opposés à l’exportation d’armement vers des zones de crise. Israël disposerait du seul arsenal nucléaire de la région et aurait modifié les sous-marins livrés par l’Allemagne afin de leur permettre de lancer des missiles à têtes nucléaires.

aucunes chances.
israel n´a plus le respect qu´elle avait avant,Merkel qui lui avait lavé les oreilles fin fevrier au telephone,attend en plus des reponses concretes a ses demandes il y´a 2 mois,sur la reprise de negociations serieuses,et la question des colonies.

Defense Update is visiting the IDF Armor Proficiency competition today at the Golan Heights.
Tank and recce crews from Seven brigades operating Merkava Mk 2, 3 and 4 and M60 mark 8 (Magach 8 ) are taking part, rated for best performance in A number of areas, including crew proficiency, navigation, handling targets with Battle Management Systems (BMS) and gunnery, against short range (infantry, anti tank) and long range (up to five kilometers). The rainy day, deep mud and limited visibility did not deter the crews, Which performed their mission as expected. Tank gunnery training is being improving within IDF armored units, with the implementation of a ‘Master Gunner’ course, qualifying gunnery experts in battalions and brigades, responsible for developing gunner skills and expertise in operational units.
On the tank display the armored corps unveiled the latest model of Merkava Mk 4M, which includes the Trophy active protection system as a standard, along with many small yet important ergonomic improvements. More photos and videos taken by Noam Eshel to follow tonight.
