( defensa.com ) Embraer could make the first flight of the transport aircraft KC -390 next week , according to the project manager in the COPAC ( Program Coordinator Combat Aircraft Committee ) , Colonel Sergio Henrique Carneiro da Silva. " For our programming would be nice if the flight take place from the 19th day ," he said .

As reported , by the beginning of next week , the ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency ) shall issue the certificate authorizing Embraer to make the initial flight with the aircraft. Carneiro admitted the existence of some problems on the detected engine during a ground test in late December , stating that the equipment was replaced and sent to maintenance. "The problem with the engine not prevent the flight. Everything is going well and on schedule ." The company has announced that the FAB still working to close the various agreements related ofsett KC -390 . The aim is to require these partners the best possible counterparts of technological and industrial cooperation on the basis of their participation in the project. All compensations are reversed for the benefit of the Brazilian aerospace companies and their supply chains.

So far have signed three contracts with companies off set Rockwell Collins , BAE and Rohde -Schwarz . You're about to be signed with Thales and two are in advanced negotiations with Cobham and Goodrich. It is industrial compensation related to propulsion systems, flight controls, avionics , handling or delivery of cargo and mission systems . The Air Force is also in talks with DRS , Eaton, Hamilton Sundstrand , Sagem , Selex Galileo and Raphael companies. "The big deal, however, will be around engines and precisely this is being discussed with International Aero Engines ( IAE ) ," Carneiro said

The Brazilian Navy publishes a first view for its future SSN, approximate in fact...

This is the first time that the Brazilian Navy publishes its draft for future nuclear attack submarine. While this program has for years been surrounded in secrecy, this communication is all the more surprising that the picture revealed is a skinned, assumed to have the building and therefore the different areas that make up the. We will use the term here purposely "supposed" because, look a little closer, it seems that Brazilians are away from it all unfold. The reactor installment seems particularly very small, so that the positioning of torpedo tubes is odd, as the sonar on the front, which bears little resemblance to the usual antennas.

It is reasonable to imagine that the Brazilian Navy has only spread a very rough artist's view not to disclose details of its ongoing design studies.

While drafts of the first Brazilian SNA back to the early 80s, the project was revived in 2009 when Brazil signed with the French company DCNS and its local partner Odebrecht a giant contract 6.7 billion. It concerns the construction of four conventional submarines of the Scorpene-type (S-BR), with an up-flow of seed in 2017 and delivery of the last in 2022. These buildings, designed by DCNS are made in technology transfer to a new site, whose specifications were developed by the French expertise, who also served for future naval base installed itself also in Sepetiba Bay. But for the Brazilians, the largest part of the contract is the one on the DCNS assistance for the design of non-nuclear parts of the SNA (SN-BR). Assistance which helped back on track this program, for which the setting building construction in 2017 is now scheduled for commissioning in 2025.

Helibrás advances in shaping the final operational version of the EC-725 of the Brazilian Navy

7101.jpg


(defensa.com) Technical Engineering Center of Helibras progress in integrating the devices that make up the Tactical Mission System (TDMS) of the operational version of the EC725 helicopters from the Brazilian Navy (UH-15A), configuring more complex until now in the hands of the company. In recent months, maritime surveillance radar underwent flight tests on the northern coast of São Paulo.

They were about 40 hours when the test team flight Helibras, with accompanying systems engineering, could test the radar control commands and their ability to detect targets. The tests were conducted in the Santos Basin, northern coast of São Paulo, where they were seen and used as targets several boats that use that ample ports and outside ports.

Another team to incorporate tactical system is currently under test Tactical Operations Console, which had its first fully functional unit installed in the helicopter BRA 005, cell used as a prototype for the operational version of the Brazilian Navy. In the helicopter, the unit also raffled checks ergonomics. Later this year, the first functional console is used in testing complete development of the Naval Mission System EC725 in the new lab Helibras.

This equipment allows an operator at the rear part of the cabin of the helicopter to have a full view of tactical scenario presented around the aircraft and the ability to operate defense weapons systems or directly to the console. While the tests are carried out in the laboratory, BRA 005 aircraft is configured by the team Helibras prototype for this Tactical Mission System (TDMS) and additional systems that have passed the evaluation at the Laboratory CSIB.

The CSIB (Complete System Integration Bench) is the new test laboratory system that Helibras used for integration into the EC725 helicopter before final installation in the aircraft. The central laboratory platform was created by a team of Brazilian engineers in a real workout on-the-job-training in France and the completion and implementation in Itajubá took place early in the second half of 2014. Among the items that have undergone testing and integration in the new laboratory include digital mapping systems, infrared imaging and electronic countermeasures.

The construction of the third submarine for the Brazilian Navy

img_1452_red.jpg


(defensa.com) With traditional metal cutting ceremony began on January 13 the third building submarines PROSUB program for the Brazilian Navy. The event was attended by the Commander of the Navy of Brazil, Julio Soares de Moura Neto. This third submarine, which is named "Cooper" (S42) is built by the state-owned Nuclebrás Equipments Heavy (NUCLEP) and Itaguaí Construções Navais (ICN), a joint venture formed by the Brazilian company Odebrecht Defesa e Tecnologia and French DCNS with interests in the share capital of 59 and 41 percent respectively.

ICN is responsible for the construction of four submarines conventional propulsion (Stream S40, Humaita S41, Cooper S42 and Angostura S43) and nuclear propulsion (Almirante Alvaro Alberto SN10), of which it is expected to enter service in 2018, 2019 , 2020, 2022 and 2025 respectively. NUCLEP turn is responsible for the construction and installation of major equipment inside sections of submarines. Program Desenvolvimento Submarines Marinha Brazil (PROSUB) was signed in 2008 as a result of the strategic agreement between Brazil and France, hence both conventional submarines as nuclear propulsion are based on technology and French design, specifically the DCNS.
