Armée Hollandaise/Armed forces of the Netherlands/Nederlandse krijgsmacht

C'est à n'y rien comprendre, quel est l'intérêt de confirmer la livraison de 2 F-35A pour une série de tests si c'est pour après remettre en question la commande faite du aux coûts faramineux du programme JSF et de placer directement après les 2 avions en question en stockage.

Les néerlandais sont tombés bien bas et sans me montrer vulgaire soit ils sont devenus stupides soit ils ne prennent pas conscience que ça risque de leurs coûtés encore plus cher.

les pays europeens ne peuvent plus dire non aux yankees,on sacrifie tout pour la belle "alliance" transatlantique

Les américains sont occupés à sacrifier l'industrie européenne de la défense en mettant en avant la sacro-sainte alliance transatlantique c'est vrai mais aussi par des pressions diplomatiques corrompues et surtout de la concurrence déloyale sur le plan militaire en vantant leurs produits comme le millésime du caviar mondial alors que dans la réalité c'est loin d'être le cas et encore plus pour le F-35 qui est certainement la plus grosse arnaque de l'industrie militaire moderne.

Si la Belgique vient un jour à remplacer ses F-16 j’espère très sincèrement que ce seras par des Rafale.

F-16 pilots may soon be using small Windows 8 tablets in flight


Inside the cramped cabin of an F-16 fighter jet, military pilots have to bring in a lot of gear: printed reports, flight maps, manuals, and paper checklists for their missions and aircraft procedures.

"It's like sitting in a tub," an F-16 pilot who asked for anonymity told CITEworld. "They have side arm controllers, so the flight controls are where you rest your arms. It's a tight cockpit. There's not a lot of room for stuff."

To try to solve those space problems, Netherlands-based PaceBlade Technology is working to develop a digital flight bag for F-16 pilots using 8-inch Windows 8 tablet computers. The small tablets can easily fit inside the cramped workspace and sit right on a pilot's knee.

PaceBlade CTO Eric Cornelisse, who has served as a military pilot in his native Netherlands and is now in the reserves there, said that he and others in his company were approached directly by other military pilots who were seeking answers to the problem.

Cornelisse explained why the company took a chance on the new 8-inch Windows 8 tablet recently released by Acer, the Iconia W3, rather than sticking with the more common iPad or Android tablets that other companies are using for similar projects.

"Military pilots are doing trials with iPads and also working with Android devices around the world," he said. "But there were a couple common things that they found. The iPad was too big and they didn't have full control over the content."

But what about the smaller iPad mini? "The iPad is too big and the iPad mini is too small. We actually needed an 8 -inch tablet to do the job.” That's because it's exactly the same size as the paper pads that F-16 pilots already use.

But size wasn't the only factor, said Cornelisse. "Also, they had to use iTunes to get their documents, so the security wasn't suitable to work with highly classified content. There were some workarounds but they took too long and it was way too much work."

The ability to maintain full control over the Windows 8 hardware for military needs was another key reason for using the platform, he said. "Microsoft offers a private cloud solution, a private store where an air force or big company can have their own environment and their own content besides what Windows offers to their customers," said Cornelisse.

Integration with existing IT systems was also a benefit. "Windows 8 on tablets will work perfectly with their existing Windows IT systems. It's a lot easier to connect to that and use all the options when you have all your tablets and devices working on the same system."

The PaceBlade approach also includes more than just the tablets and the software that run on them, said Martin Schoonderbeek, the company's CEO. "We built a framework that is the application, the tablet, the network and the cloud infrastructure" all working as one to serve military pilots. "We didn't develop just an app, but also a framework to tie it all together on the tablet and in the cloud."

The idea of replacing flight bags with tablets is not new. Civilian airlines including Alaska Airlines are already using digital flight bags to help their pilots reduce the paper they have to carry on flights as well as help them improve overall information management in aircraft cabins.

normalement c´est la technologie militaire qui donne apres des applications civiles mais avec le trend des tablets c´est le contraire,de plus en plus d´armés equipent leurs pilotes avec.

Dutch MoD sells off CV90s


Due to new defence budget cuts, the Dutch Ministry of Defence is planning to sell 44 of its latest BAE Systems CV9035NL infantry fighting vehicles.
An earlier round of cutbacks in 2011 resulted in the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) discarding all of its remaining Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks, a limited number of PzH2000 self-propelled howitzers and 40 anti-tank configured Fenneks.

The latter have since been stored in a former United States Army Europe POMS (Prepositioned Organizational Materiel Site) site together with 116 Leopard 2s and some 32 PzH2000s.

The Dutch Defence Materiel Organisation aims to sell off most of the heavy equipment that it has stored in its facilities. However, a number of vehicles are being used as a source of spare parts, such as sustaining the remaining fleet of Leopard 2 based support vehicles like the Kodiak armoured engineering vehicle and the Buffel recovery vehicle.

Those vehicles stored will now be joined by CV90s and another 35 Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Fenneks of different versions.

The vehicles are still part of the inventory of the 45th Mechanised Infantry Battalion and will be put up for sale.

The Dutch minister of defence, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, has announced the upcoming dissolution of the Ermelo-based infantry unit as part of a wider scheme of personnel and equipment reductions within all three services.

Hennis-Plasschaert aims to only retain defence forces that are fully funded and which are able to operate in the full spectrum of military operations. However, she also indicated that Dutch participation in missions ‘will sometimes have to be limited to shorter periods of time than was previously possible’.

Twelve new wheeled Boxer armoured vehicles which were destined for the infantry battalion but have yet to be delivered will now also be sold.

A total of 184 CV9035NL IFVs were ordered in 2004 to replace the ageing YPR765A1s together with eight CV90 driver training vehicles.

Deliveries commenced in 2009 and in mid-2012 the fourth and last mechanised infantry battalion started its transition to the new vehicle.

The RNLA had hoped to keep some of the CV90s to augment its vehicle set used for infantry training for troops after they complete basic military training. However, so far this has failed to materialise.

Dutch frigates bring Peter The Great's replica home to Russia's northern capital

Two Dutch Navy frigates docked in St. Petersburgh on Tuesday, bringing a full-size replica of the house Russian Tsar Peter the Great stayed in at Zaandam when learning shipbuilding in Holland in 1697.

The Seven Provinces and the Friesland brought a contingent of marines under the colours of Dutch Navy Commander Vice-Admiral Mattieu Borsboom in a programme of military cooperation between Russia and The Netherlands, spokesman for the Russian Western Military District Oleg Kochetkov told Itar-Tass. The replica is a gift to Russia from the Dutch defence ministry.

A ceremony to present the house, made by Dutch craftsmen, takes place in St. Petersburg on Tuesday night. Packed in five containers, it will be brought to the Kolomenskoye museum park in the south of Moscow, already home to other exhibits dating back to Peter the Great's time.

During their four-day unofficial visit to St. Petersburg, the Dutch marines will take part in an international exhibition and attend other events within the programme of a Year of The Netherlands in Russia, the spokesman said.

On September 25, both vessels will be open for St. Petersburg residents to visit from noon until 6.00pm, the spokesman added.

This is the second visit of Dutch naval ships to Russia this year. In June, the Evertsen frigate and the Dolphin submarine took part in a navy show in St. Petersburg.

A vot' bon coeur: les Pays-Bas mettent au pot quand la MINUSMA fait la manche

Les Pays-Bas envisageraient d'envoyer 400 soldats et quatre hélicoptères d'attaque Apache au Mali. L'idée est à l'étude après l'appel lancé mercredi par l'Onu pour un renforcement de ses troupes dans ce pays confronté aux attaques persistantes de jihadistes .

"Le projet est d'envoyer environ 400 soldats hollandais", dont "70 membres de commandos, capables d'opérer derrière les lignes ennemies pour recueillir des renseignements", écrit ce matin le quotidien de gauche De Volkskrant, en se fondant sur les déclarations, sous couvert d'anonymat, d'une quinzaine de diplomates, hommes politiques et sources militaires haut placées.

Les Pays-Bas fourniront en outre "quatre hélicoptères d'attaque Apache avec leurs pilotes et cent membres de personnel de soutien", ajoute le journal. Ils réfléchissent aussi à l'éventuel envoi de 70 officiers de renseignement et d'instructeurs.

Le gouvernement doit prendre sa décision dans les deux semaines à venir, précise De Volkskrant.

     Police du ciel : Belgique et Pays-Bas vont coopérer

Le 23/10/2013 à 14:49   | Par Gérard Gaudin  

 
La Haye ne disposera que de 32 F-35 et 29 pilotes opérationnels sur son territoire.

La Belgique et les Pays-Bas ont signé mercredi une déclaration d'intention visant à instaurer d'ici 2016 une surveillance conjointe de l'espace aérien du Benelux par leurs avions de chasse respectifs, renforçant ainsi la coopération instaurée entre Bruxelles et La Haye, devenue plus nécessaire par l'achat de nouveaux chasseurs F-35 pour la force aérienne néerlandaise.

Cette "lettre d'intention" (LoI) a été signée par les ministres de la Défense des deux pays, Pieter De Crem et Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, en marge d'une réunion ministérielle au siège bruxellois de l'Otan, ont précisé le cabinet de M. De Crem dans un communiqué et le ministère néerlandais de la Défense de manière plus complète sur son site Internet.

La "lettre d'intention" doit à terme se traduire dans un traité formel - car les implications juridiques d'une telle coopération sont nombreuses, notamment en cas de détournement d'un avion. Il s'agit d'assurer conjointement la mission de police aérienne au dessus du territoire du Benelux, en particulier pour les tâches de décollage d'alerte ("Quick Reaction Alert", QRA) et de procédure appelée "Renegade" (destinée à identifier un avion "suspect" - qui s'avère la plupart du temps être un appareil civil en panne de radio ou dont le pilote n'utilise pas les bonnes fréquences). Bruxelles et La Haye s'attendent à ce que cette coopération débute en 2016.


La lettre d'intention s'inscrit dans la foulée de la déclaration d'intention renforçant la coopération en matière de défense signée le 18 avril 2012 par les ministres des trois pays. Elle ouvre la voie à la conclusion d'un traité "à court terme", selon La Haye qui explique que cette nouvelle forme de coopération militaire est rendue nécessaire par l'achat, annoncé le mois dernier, de 37 nouveaux chasseurs de type F-35 "Lightning II" pour remplacer ses F-16 vieillissants.

Dans une lettre adressée mercredi au parlement néerlandais, Mme Hennis-Plasschaert explique "l'important intérêt" qu'elle porte à cette nouvelle forme de coopération avec la Belgique et qui permettra de rendre davantage de pilotes néerlandais disponibles pour des missions internationales.

La force aérienne néerlandaise ne disposera en effet que de 32 F-35 (alias "Joint Strike Fighter", JSF) sur le territoire national - les cinq autres étant basés aux Etats-Unis "de manière permanente" pour l'entraînement - et de 29 pilotes "combat ready" (pleinement opérationnels). Ce qui est insuffisant pour effectuer à la fois les vols d'entraînement au quotidien aux Pays-Bas, assurer la permanence liée au QRA 24 heures sur 24 et participer avec quatre avions à une mission à l'étranger (ce qui exige huit pilotes).
 Selon le cabinet de M. De Crem, les forces aériennes des deux pays ont conclu, après études, que cette coopération ne posait aucun problème technique ou opérationnel.

Les Pays-Bas vont envoyer 380 casques bleus au Mali

  reuters.com | 01/11/2013, 14:58 -
 
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Les Pays-Bas ont annoncé vendredi l'envoi d'un contingent de 380 soldats qui serviront au Mali sous mandat de la mission de maintien de la paix de l'Onu.

Le porte-parole du gouvernement n'a pas fourni davantage de précisions sur ce déploiement, mais le Premier ministre, Mark Rutte, devrait en dire davantage dans l'après-midi.

La Mission multidimensionnelle intégrée des Nations unies pour la stabilisation au Mali (Minusma), opérationnelle depuis le 1er juillet, doit prendre le relais des troupes françaises et africaines.

Mais avec la moitié de 12.600 soldats initialement prévus et l'insuffisance de ses équipements, elle manque de moyens pour remplir sa mission.

Netherlands reverses Karel Doorman decision


The Royal Netherlands Navy (RoNL) will now receive its new 28,000t Karel Doorman Joint Logistics Support Ship (JSS), after the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on 25 October its intent to reverse a series of recently announced austerity-measures, after finding alternative funding.
The ship, currently being completed at DSNS's shipyard in Vlissingen, was announced for sale on 17 October after being decreed superfluous to requirements. This decision was partially explained as a result of the disbandment of the army's Leopard 2A6 main battle tank force in a previous round of cuts - with transporting the force to be one of the vessel's primary roles.

La Marine néerlandaise dévoile quelques éléments de design de ses futures frégates pour l'horizon 2023








On Tech Base, the recruitment event of Defence, the Royal Navy yesterday a first model of the replacement for the M-frigates shown. Navy / material thing Defence Organisation (DMO) is conducting a study of the new frigates from 2023 should be added to the fleet. It was the first time that a design was shown to the public.
 
One of the possible designs
The design of new ships is an extremely difficult task where many disciplines come together and in which the design on many discs,. Unlike many other defense materiel, however, this is still done in the Netherlands and material things or by the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO), often in cooperation with Damen and Thales Netherlands and now in Belgium. Long before there is built, will be on the basis of the first requirements sketches. The model was shown to Tech Base is a very recent, but early development of the various options where the Navy to think. Nothing in the design is completely solid and a decision on actual construction of replacements for the M-frigates will still be years in coming.
Nevertheless, a first model a unique introduction to the Navy ships in the future on behalf Netherlands move the world.
 
Future Surface Combatant
Gives the design of the Future Surface Combatant shown, according to the designers of DMO spot, a weather ship of 145 meters with a crew of 120 people. The frigate will be able to operate in the highest spectrum of force is therefore equipped with both sensors and weapons for air targets and surface targets. Because the M-submarine warfare frigates as additional specialization and LCF'en not excel here, will the FSC herein provided. It is unlikely that mine action capacities are added to the ship, because that again states very different demands on the platform in areas such as requirements for magnetism.
 
Visible are at least a 76 mm Oto Melara gun, such as the Navy already has since the 80s. There is no choice in this design for a stealth casing of the gun. For the model rockets has about 16 cells of the bucket, behind the gun. A lot less than a LCF, but just as much as the M-frigate has those missiles in an older configuration. Also, there are in the model to see, even if only four instead of the usual eight. The known Harpoon canisters
As for the OPV's designers opted for a similar Hitrole and Marlin setup: two front and two rear. The hangar is a CIWS as a last resort against incoming targets.
 
The role of "drones" on the water, under
water and in the air in the future on naval vessels only growing. These new weapons are, not surprisingly, do not forget by DMO. In the midships of the model can be found. USV's either Unmanned Service Vessels This unmanned, but armed ships can from the mothership behind drug smugglers or pirates.
The FSC also accommodate manned units including a helicopter and a FRISC. This requires a large helipad, hangar and slipway incorporated into the design.
The sensors are evolved and are placed in a new, larger mast.

Not revolutionary
Who after seeing the Zumwaltklasse expected, a revolutionary design is perhaps somewhat disappointed. It is striking how long the ship, especially the bin. But laser weapons, a totally different hull shape or numerous spectacular developments not. Shows the model The designers seem to build on proven concepts as the previously LCF and OPV , two classes where this model is clearly related.
Netherlands also works in the development of these ships together with Belgium. Great Britain and Germany are just before and take the next 10 years, new frigates in service, contemporaries called respectively the Type 26 frigate and the Type 127 frigate .
If the new ships are ordered and actually come into service around 2023, the M-frigates probably ascended. Zr.Ms. From Speijk and Zr.Ms. Van Amstel are resp. 30 and 28 years old. Their history began in the 70s of the last century.
