Oman builds up air defences

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
19 June 2013



Oman is negotiating a deal for NASAMS, which is a joint development by Raytheon and the Norwegian company Kongsberg. (Kongsberg)

Oman is currently investing heavily in its air defence capabilities by buying more long-range air-to-air missiles for its growing fleet of multirole fighters, as well as ground-based systems.

The sultanate will receive another consignment of AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs), the US Department of Defense (DoD) revealed in a 14 June contract announcement. The DoD said that 51% of the USD534.8 million AMRAAM contract awarded to Raytheon would cover missiles for Oman and Saudi Arabia.

The vast majority of these missiles will go to Saudi Arabia, which requested 500 AIM-120C-7s for its new fleet of F-15SA multirole fighters, according to a notification to congress released by the Defense and Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) in October 2010.

Raytheon in final talks to sell air-defense system to Oman


Raytheon Co is in final negotiations to sell an air-defense system to Oman, a significant deal that would help keep the company’s international sales strong in 2013, Chief Financial Officer David Wajsgras told analysts on Thursday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry flew to Oman in May for Raytheon’s signing of an arms deal to purchase a ground-based air defense system that would help protect against cruise missile, drone or fighter aircraft attacks.

The Oman sale is valued at around $1.5 billion.

Raytheon Chief Executive Bill Swanson said on the company’s earnings call that Raytheon is also making good progress on several other large international sales, including missile defense systems to Qatar and Kuwait.

Oman air force pilot killed

Two Jaguar fighter planes involve in accident during training


Muscat: A Royal Oman Air Force pilot was killed today (Wednesday) in an accident involving two Jaguar planes during a routine training mission in Rakhyut, about 1110-km south of Muscat, according to a source at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The ministry source added that the tragic incident resulted in the death of Flight Lieutenant Al Azhar Bin Humaid Bin Hamad Al Shraiqi. The pilot of the other aircraft survived the collision.

The collision took place over an unpopulated area in Rakhyut thus there was no damage, injury or casualty reported from the ground.

The MoD, in a statement to Oman News Agency, “mourned the late Flight Lieutenant Al Shraiqi and prayed to Allah the Almighty to bestow His mercy on the deceased and to inspire his family with patience and solace and to Him we return”.

First BAE Systems Built Khareef class warship Al Shamikh arrives in Oman

The Royal Navy of Oman (RNO) on Sunday organised a reception for Al Shamikh, the first of the three Khareef class warships built by BAE Systems under the sultanate's Project Khareef.

H E Sayyid Badr bin Saud al Busaidi, Minister Responsible for Defence Affairs, inaugurated the ceremony held at the Said bin Sultan Naval Base, where he, along with naval commanders, greeted the vessel upon its arrival to join the RNO fleet.

Speaking to the media, H E Busaidi said, “Today we celebrate the arrival of Al Shamikh into the waters of the sultanate, the first ship of Project Khareef, which would contribute to the strengthening of military capabilities and capacities of the Sultan's Armed Forces (SAF) which enjoys the Royal care and attention of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.”

H E Busaidi also thanked RNO commanders, personnel and crew who were on Al Shamikh during its maiden voyage from the UK where she was built.
Capt Qasim bin Mohammed al Balushi, Commander of Al Shamikh, expressed his pride in leading the vessel into Oman's waters. He said that Al Shamikh is the most modern of RNO ships.

Royal Navy of Oman fires MBDA’s VL MICA missile




MBDA’s VL MICA missile has been successfully operationally fired from the Royal Navy of Oman’s (RNO’s) Al Shamikh Ocean Patrol Vessel (OPV).
The firing took place off the coast of the Ile du Levant in the Mediterranean Sea at the French DGA’s test range under the supervision and control of the DGA-EM.

According to MBDA, the firing saw the VL MICA missile successfully intercept and destroy the target at very low altitude. The target was simulating a sea skimming anti-ship missile.

VL MICA is the latest generation of air defence systems and deploys the MICA missile vertically launched from a canister which serves for both storage and launch purposes.  In its naval version, VL MICA provides both area air defence as well as self-defence of the host vessel. MICA fire-and-forget missiles can be equipped with either IR or radar seekers and are capable of dealing with the full range of airborne threats as well as saturating attacks.

The company said the success of this firing is evidence of the operational capability of the RNO with its new vessel and weapon system.

BAE Systems hands over second Khareef class Corvette for Royal Navy of Oman

Portsmouth, UK: BAE Systems has handed over a new warship to the Royal Navy of Oman amid colourful celebrations on HM Naval Base Portsmouth this morning. AL RAHMANI is the second of three 99 metre corvettes designed, built and delivered for the Royal Navy of Oman as part of Project Khareef. Her Interim Acceptance, in which the ship’s title is transferred before sailing to Oman, marks an important milestone for the project.




The formal handover ceremony was attended by BAE Systems employees and VIPs from the Royal Navy of Oman and the Royal Navy who watched her crew board the vessel and raise the National Flag of Oman on the ship’s flight deck for the first time.

Mick Ord, Managing Director of BAE Systems Maritime – Naval Ships, said: “This is a proud occasion for both the Royal Navy of Oman and our employees who have worked together to design, build and deliver this impressive ship. The delivery of these three corvettes now has a real momentum behind it, which is testament to the strong partnership we have built with the Royal Navy of Oman and the dedication of everyone on the project.”

[justify][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In celebration of the milestone, BAE Systems employees took part in a week of Omani themed activities with the ship’s crew members. Portsmouth’s iconic Spinnaker Tower will also join the celebrations tonight by lighting up in Oman’s national colours over the city in which AL RAHMANI was constructed.

BAE Systems will now support AL RAHMANI’s crew as they complete Flag Officer Sea Training with the Royal Navy before departing on a 3,000 mile delivery voyage to Oman. The ship will then complete final hot weather trials during which the ship will demonstrate her ability to perform in temperatures in excess of 45 degrees celsius.

The first vessel in the class, AL SHAMIKH which was handed over in June, has now arrived in Oman, while the third ship, AL RASIKH, is scheduled for handover in the first half of 2014

The Ministry of Defence Oman (MOD) is currently thoroughly testing an Empl troop transporter based on a Mercedes Benz G-class 6x6 with a double cabin under the most stringent conditions.



Following delivery of several troop transporters and transport platforms with cranes to the Sultan’s Special Forces Oman (SSF) and the Royal Guard (RGO), a G-class prototype with an Empl body is currently being tested by the MOD. The G300 CDI 6x6 has a reinforced frame and is suitable for payloads of up to three tonnes. Its appearance is reasonably compact, as it resembles a standard passenger vehicle, but with maximum all-terrain functions



TROOP TRANSPORT PLATFORM WITH COVER FRAME

The flat-bed body has been equipped with foldable, removable walls and pillars. This special, robust version has lateral seat benches for up to ten people and is particularly suitable for troop transport and as a “flat-bed” for off-road goods transport. The fitted military cover frame can be stowed away in the front wall. The side walls can be folded down, even after the cover has been fitted.
