BAE Systems' Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures System Credited With Saving Helicopters In Combat Operations

Defense News: NASHUA, New Hampshire — BAE Systems' Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures (ATIRCM) system is being fielded on U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopters, and has already been credited with defeating infrared-guided missiles since it went into service on the Chinook fleet six months ago.

The ATIRCM system is a laser-based, directable countermeasures system that protects helicopters against attack by missiles. Since its fielding, ATIRCM has exceeded all reliability performance objectives and provided 100 percent operational availability for the mission.

"ATIRCM was put to the test in a complex situation where Chinook aircraft were engaged by multiple infrared, man-portable air-defense missiles," said Jim Crouch, vice president and general manager of survivability and protection solutions for BAE Systems. "Defeating the threat is the ultimate measure of its worth, and ATIRCM has provided the warfighter confidence in the aircraft's survivability while performing the mission in hostile locations."

The ATIRCM provides passive warning of a missile approach using BAE Systems' AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning System (CMWS), which detects the missile, rejects any false alarms, and cues the ATIRCM jam head to the missile's location. When the jam head locates the missile with its IR tracking system, it emits a high-energy beam to defeat the missile's infrared seeker. The fielded inventory of the AN/ALQ-212(V) ATIRCM/CMWS suite has greatly enhanced overall aircraft survivability against current and evolving threats.

"The ATIRCM suite has proven to be the most reliable laser-based, directable countermeasures system on combat helicopters today," added Crouch. "We are rapidly fielding this system so that all deployed Chinooks are protected against IR-guided missile threats. This technology is saving lives, and we’ll continue to deliver the best-possible protection for the warfighter."

BAE Systems is the lead systems integrator for the ATIRCM/CMWS suite. The company has invested in infrastructure to support the program and maintains field personnel who perform real-time ATIRCM/CMWS suite assessment, maintenance, and upgrades.

Qatar Leadership Academy Students Learn What It's Like to Fly A Fighter Aircraft

Defense News: QATAR - Students at the Qatar Leadership Academy (QLA) were enthralled yesterday when ex-fighter pilot, Craig Penrice, took them through their paces with a thrilling presentation about new generation combat aircraft, such as Eurofighter Typhoon.

Craig, who was a key member of the team of test pilots who developed Typhoon, one of the world’s most advanced and capable new generation combat aircraft, addressed the QLA students on his experiences as a fighter pilot in the UK's Royal Air Force and on the requirements and design development activities for what has become known as Eurofighter Typhoon, Europe's largest military co-operation project.

QATAR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY STUDENTS LEARN WHAT IT’S LIKE TO FLY A FIGHTER AIRCRAFT

One of the key principles of the QLA is to teach its students about leadership. This plays a vital part in not only flying modern military aircraft, but also in a variety of day-to-day industries, including engineering. Craig highlighted how leadership goes hand in hand with every day business life, from concept to manufacture to flying a complex aircraft, such as Eurofighter Typhoon.

Simon Keith, Managing Director, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, commented:

“BAE Systems has a long history of leading in defence innovation and manufacturing, including combat aircraft. As one of the Qatar Leadership Academy’s missions is to prepare its students to be the leaders of tomorrow, Craig’s talk yesterday showed the students how important leadership is, whether it is in industry, in the military or just flying a combat aircraft.

“We are pleased that this first event with the QLA was able to fit in so perfectly with its values and we look forward to strengthening our relationship over the next few years.”

The safety of the pilot is one of the most critical aspects of flying. As part of the talk, students were shown the importance of safety and students were given the opportunity to try on a flying suit, helmet and life jacket currently in use by the Qatar Emiri Air Force.

BAE Systems has a proud heritage of innovation, state of the art engineering and technical excellence and has been at the forefront of combat aircraft for over a century. During his talk, Craig demonstrated the technical innovation in aircraft design and manufacture from passenger and commercial aircraft, through to military platforms such as the Hawk advanced jet trainer and the Eurofighter Typhoon, one of the world’s most advanced and capable multi-role fighters.

Robert Trent, Director, Qatar Leadership Academy, commented:

“We are excited to host activities of quality like this for our cadets, giving them real-life applications for leadership. I look forward to future co-operation with BAE Systems and other groups who can add value to our work at QLA.”

DTN News: U.S. Army Chinook Helicopters Protected From IR Missile Threat

Defense News: DTN News: U.S. Army Chinook Helicopters Protected From IR Missile Threat
Source: DTN News / Int'l Media
(NSI News Source Info) NASHUA, N.H. - April 16, 2010: The effectiveness of a countermeasure system for the U.S. Army Chinook helicopter to defeat guided missiles was proven in battle, BAE Systems said.
BAE said its Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures system has proved its worth in defeating infrared-guided missiles on the battlefield.
ATIRCM uses lasers to protect the Chinook from missile attacks. A common missile warning system tells the system to emit a high-energy laser beam to defeat the infrared system on the incoming missile.
Jim Crouch, general manager for protection solutions at BAE Systems, said ATIRCM is the best countermeasure system available for combat helicopters.
"ATIRCM was put to the test in a complex situation where Chinook aircraft were engaged by multiple infrared, man-portable air-defense missiles," he said. He didn't indicate in what combat theater the ATIRCM countered the threat.
He added his company was dispatching the system to all Chinook fleets as soon as possible so all deployed helicopters are protected against infrared-guided missile threats.

DTN News: China’s PLA Opens Up To Show Off J10, Its First Indigenous Fighter Jet

Defense News: DTN News: China’s PLA Opens Up To Show Off J10, Its First Indigenous Fighter Jet
Source: DTN News / The Times, U.K. By Jane Macartney at Yangcun Air Base
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - April 16, 2010: Engines screaming, China’s most advanced fighter jets took off, soared into a vertical climb, spun into rolls and veered off into a clear blue sky leaving a trail of smoke and the acrid smell of aviation fuel in its wake.
The 24th Fighter Division of the Chinese Air Force yesterday showed off a formation of its J10 — or Annihilator 10 — to a select group of international military attachés for the first time.
Back on the ground after the demonstration of aerial acrobatics Senior Colonel Yan Feng, commander of the division, gave the 51 attachés their first glimpse of the cockpits and the home-made jet turbines of China’s only indigenous fighters.
It was the second time that China has allowed foreign media onto the base — and the first such trip in eight years. Colonel Yan promised to host more tours as part of a campaign by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to cast off its reputation for secrecy and nurture a more transparent image.
Four jets took part in the 15-minute show, completing a fly-by in diamond formation with their wingtips a mere 5m (16ft) apart and a series of multiple rolls and spins. Colonel Yan even flew his jet in front of the viewing stand with his wheels just 3m off the ground.
Group Captain Stephen Wilson, the British Air Force Attaché, , described the show as impressive. “This is a highly manoeuvrable aircraft.They should not be compared with the Red Arrows, but the Chinese Air Force is very competent and that came through in this performance.”
China first showed off the J-10 in public in 2008. Their finest moment to date was when 17 flew over Tiananamen Square to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Communist China on October 1 last year.
However, although the PLA hails the accomplishment of developing China’s first indigenous fighter, the J10 is not entirely home-made. It is believed to be loosely based on the early-generation US F16. Israel helped at the start with aspects of avionics and aerodynamics until it was warned off by Washington. Earlier models were equipped with Russian jet turbines, complicating future sales potential.
One military expert said: “For this type of third-generation aircraft it’s a serious plane. It’s very good. But it is still equivalent only to an early F16.”
Another attaché said that the technology of its wheels, among other aspects, means that it could not be used on board any aircraft carrier that China may build, underscoring how far the PLA still lags behind Western militaries.
The expert said: “The West is still far ahead. We have so many decades of technology and such a depth of research and capability that they just don’t have yet. They are about a generation behind. But they are catching up.”
China could take a major leap forward when it finally unveils its fourth-generation J11, which Chinese generals have hinted could be shown off in public as early as 2017, well ahead of US forecasts.
Colonel Yan was coy when asked about the J11, but said that he hoped to demonstrate the J10 at international air shows as early as next year. “I want to fly with the Thunderbirds,” he joked.
Manufacturers will be hoping that international exposure could boost sales. Last year China sold 36 J10s to Pakistan for $1.4 billion (£910 million), well above the $25 million each that Pakistan had wanted to pay but cheaper than the $50 million per plane paid by India for a shipment of F16s. Iran, Thailand and Myanmar are all believed to have expressed interest in adding the J10 to their air force fleets.

Boeing Statement on President's Remarks and the Need for Immediate Development of a Heavy-lift Vehicle

Defense News: KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., April 16, 2010 -- Speaking at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on April 15, U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled proposed changes to the administration's fiscal year 2011 budget submission for space exploration, including a crew rescue vehicle and a decision on a heavy-lift rocket in 2015. The Boeing Company responded today with the following statement:

"The president's enthusiasm for space exploration was encouraging. We are pleased that the president remains committed to human spaceflight. We remain convinced that America stands at an inflection point with regard to space: If we make the right decisions today, we have the opportunity to create a new Golden Age of Space. Our national leadership's focus on this bodes well for our country and its highly experienced space industrial base.

"Boeing has served as a major partner in humankind's exploration of space since the beginning. Our talented people bring a mature understanding of NASA's enduring needs; a practical, businesslike approach to innovation; and a commitment to mission assurance and the safety and success of our astronaut corps.

"We are encouraged by the extension of the International Space Station program and look forward to enhancing scientific research onboard, upgrading the space station, and using it as a U.S. national laboratory. Benefits to be gained from extension of the space station include international cooperation; medical and pharmaceutical advancements; its use as a test bed for demonstrating Earth-observation capabilities and future exploration technologies; and the availability of a waypoint for future exploration missions.

"Excellence in human spaceflight is an important part of the American identity and symbolizes global leadership on the highest of technological platforms. We are greatly concerned that by backing away from the challenges of human space exploration, the United States would relinquish its leadership of a mission that has inspired generations.

"A bold national space program also supports the United States' security and economy by fostering a domestic work force that is educated and skilled in science, technology, engineering and math. It encourages the growth of new technologies and emerging businesses, large and small.

"We support the president's call for increased investment in heavy-lift launch vehicle technology, but we believe the United States should be on a clear path to accelerate the development and production of this critical system, along with a deep-space capsule. Both of these vehicles are essential to any deep-space exploration mission. We have the technology and the people to commence development of these vehicles now. A plan that includes a heavy-lift vehicle would enable space exploration supported by humans, large-array telescopes and deep-space robotic missions. It could achieve maximum benefit from American tax dollars by drawing on the cutting-edge technology already being developed for the Constellation program.

"Remaining at the forefront of human spaceflight is the only choice worthy of this great nation and to the long line of explorers and visionaries who brought us to where we are today."
