The Defence Committee of the Uruguayan Senate unanimously calls for the purchase of vessels for the Uruguayan Navy
(defensa.com) "The South Atlantic has a growing strategic value. fleets operate in him many outside the region without any control states. In that sense, exploit gaps in the Armed coastal States that are not able to neutralize the incursion of these fleets in their exclusive economic zones, and possibly in future continental shelves, "says the statement.
He adds that "the Navy must have a permanent presence in our maritime areas through modern naval units and appropriate so that its` `being at sea, shall provide for an efficient surveillance over its internal waters, territorial sea, and maritime areas beyond the territorial sea, over which the Uruguay exercises or exercises sovereign rights or jurisdiction in accordance with its national law and international law. "
The committee notes that the Navy can promote to have "adequate" to the challenges facing the country oceanic patrol. Among other strategic issues begin to affect, like oil exploration in the sea are taken into account.
The units are priced between 42 and 150 million. The Commission shall require that all Senate endorse the declaration to stimulate policy decisions of the current or next Executive.
It is expected that in the coming days or before a certain ministerial appearance before the legislature to address these issues, similar considerations are issued regarding an even more urgent need for a VTS network with IMO and approved by IALA standards due to increased coastal, oceanic traffic, the movement of merchant and fishing or oil to other vessels nearby latitudes, and even the growing hydrocarbon prospecting horizon before which, maritime security in Uruguayan waters is more than precarious. Argentina, has strained lately maritime trade relations with Uruguay to unprecedented levels, leading to further advance this possibility.
In the last four years have been exhausting made formal and informal contacts in various departments, by various suppliers (some Eastern Mediterranean oriendos not certified), not all IALA, some of which got to show strong local lobbying, but offers technically more worthy of consideration, ran by the side of Gem, Signalis, Kelvin and Indra-in-pulse radar and Thales presented the Coast Watcher, wave only recognized by the international rules entity-level signaling, IALA series.
The Navy, like the OPV issue now order the criteria on the issue, and charged a necessary role for which is expected to convene competition or price competition.

One of the main issues Argentina face is the lack of radars (fortunately more indigenous ones are being built). That means that large portions of airspace is neither covered nor controlled at all. That is especially a problem in the North and Northeast, where many illegal flights caring drugs and over smuggled contraband come from Bolivia and Paraguay. In order to stop that, Argentine Air Force dispatched a mobile radar and a squad of IA-58´s (nickname "Dengue") to take care of it.
Argentina does not have a law allowing Air Force to shoot down illegal flights that refuse to land after warnings, so all they could do was simply "follow" those planes. In spite of that, the idea worked fairly well, and many of those flights were spotted. Actually, it worked so well that the radar and the squadron were withdrawn by “la Presidenta”
That´s right, not only doesn´t the 8th largest country in the world have control of its own airspace, but when an effective action is implemented, it´s unexplainable suspended
Way to go Cristina!
Here´s a short video showing some action.

Mexican Navy's Search & Rescue MD
I will now get back to bottling my Malbec
note the MD Explorer uses a NOTAR system this eliminates the use of a tail rotor by vectoring the thrust of the engines through special manifolds and vanes in the tail boom. There are only a handful of NOTAR types and MD Helicopters is the primary maker. One I like of this type is the MD550 a variant of the classic OH6 but using the Notar I have often wondered why some one has not tried to convert that version into a light scout.

Fast, powerful, reliable and safe, the Super Puma is also a profitable apparatus due to its low maintenance costs (DMC) and a low fuel consumption. Presents a cost lower life-cycle by 30% to other devices in the same category. It also has a technological edge equipment such as 4-axis autopilot (AFCS) that allow greater mission effectiveness by reducing pilot workload while increasing safety in the takeoff and landing.
