Brazilian Research Center Development signs new contracts with the Army
(defensa.com) The Center for Research and Development in Telecommunications (CPqD), the state company Telebras, has signed two new contracts "Software Defined Radio Project Defense" (RDS-Defense), part of a strategic project and Ministry of Defence broad coordinated by the Technology Center of the Army under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Brazilian Army.
The aim of the RDS-Defense is to promote physical interoperability in tactical communications Brazilian Armed Forces, through the development of prototypes based on the concept of RDS, sensitive area in the context of cyber defense radio.
"The RDS-Defense will leap fantastic quality for the Armed Forces of Brazil, to the extent that will reduce technological dependence in strategic sectors and help increase interoperability in tactical communications of the Armed Forces, as well as to boost Defense Industrial Base in the telecommunications sector, "said Major General Sinclair Mayer, head of the Department of Science and Technology Army.
One contract with CTEx is intended for research and development of new functionalities to be incorporated into the first phase of RDS-Defense project that CPqD has been working in partnership with the Army and that focuses on the range of VHF frequency (30-300 MHz). Among them, we can highlight a mission planner software for management and configuration of radio, and various components of accession to the SCA (Software Communications Architecture) standard application.
The other contract, signed with the Foundation for the Support of Research, Development and Innovation (FAPEB) Army seeks to develop a module waveform for use in the HF frequency range (3-30 MHz), also in standard SCA. With approximately two years, the contract has resources FINEP-Financier of Studies and Projects assigned to CPqD program is an independent institution, focused on innovation in information technology and communication (ICT).

FAB the receive used Gripen’s used prior to the arrival of the new fighters
(defensa.com) The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) have chosen to abandon the aircraft leasing Saab Gripen C \ D provided by Sweden, the result of a government-to-government agreement to be set as an option to cover the gap between the recent deactivation Mirage 2000 (F-2000 B \ C) and delivery of the first aircraft Gripen NG E \ F, which is expected to occur from 2018, since the value of the proposed contract is considered very high and similar to the costly proposal offered by France (Dassault) to keep operating the Mirage 2000 for longer.
According to the same source, the Air Force decided to redistribute the fleet of F-5EM \ FM across the country and use the resources that were to assign the lease of Gripen C \ D to complete the modernization of 11 F-cells 5E \ F acquired Jordan, and delivered to Embraer Defense and Security (DHS) in Gaviao Peixoto, besides continuing to update the factory Embraer AMX A-1, whose labors were interrupted after delivering two cars copies to 1 \ GAV 16th Base in Santa Cruz, southeast of Rio de Janeiro.
This proposal renews Embraer as sensitive to the aircraft and its prime contractor, AEL, apart from changes mandated avionics, and even instrumented using smart Lizzard Elbit pumps as an option.

Close to half past seven the vessel entered national waters through the eastern mouth of the Strait of Magellan, where they embarked on an airplane Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey from the Marine Corps of the United States, the Secretary Marina of the country, Edwin Ray Mabus, the United States Ambassador in Chile, Michael Hammer and on behalf of the Navy, the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Vice Admiral Cristian de la Maza Riquelme.
The "America", escorted by boat Misilera "Casma" of the Chilean Navy, anchored off Punta Arenas to continue their journey through the national territory to the port of Valparaiso. This modern ship, carrying a crew of 1,400 sailors and marines, is the first of the new class America, which replaces the existing Tarawa. It measures 257 meters long, 32 meters wide, and is able to receive and operate advanced aircraft such as the F-35B Hunting and the new generation of aircraft with reclining rotor MV-22 Osprey.
Its hangar higher capacity, both in size and height to facilitate the use of the MV-22, together with its additional features, uniquely qualify him for amphibious assault operations and humanitarian aid missions and response disasters. (Cristián Marambio correspondent in Chile)

Final assembly of the first Embraer KC-390 begins
(defensa.com) At the end of this month Embraer began final assembly of the first prototype of the transport aircraft KC-390. The plan provides for the first flight later this year and the commissioning of the first aircraft in the Air Force in 2016 Brazil's major structures such as the fuselage, and empennage sections is fulfilled wings, have already been completed and the facilities that the company has in Gaviao Peixoto is where the first two prototypes of the aircraft will be built.
At present, the manufacturer negotiates with the Brazilian government to formalize the commitment to acquire 28 devices, replacing 22 Hercules C-130H. Embraer believes that this plane can cornering about 15 or 20 percent of the replacement market Hercules transport aircraft that are reaching the end of its useful life, estimated at 728 planes in 77 countries market.
Last year saw the final design review of the aircraft, which is powered by two turbofan engines of International Aero engies (IAE) that allow you to reach a speed of Mach 0.8 and a service ceiling of 36,000 feet carrying a maximum load 26 tons. The maximum range of 1,200 nautical miles is achieved with a reduced load of 23 tons.
The program brings together international companies like Aero Vodochody Czech that makes the rear fuselage section, a component that was brought to Brazil in March, which is the only airframe largest ever built in the Czech Republic. FADEA of Argentina makes the loading ramp, the tail cone and spoilers, while the Portuguese OGMA manufactures fuselage panels and doors. The Spanish Aeronnova manufactures flaps, ailerons and rudder, all composite materials.

Progress in the construction of the training ship in Peru
(defensa.com) The Minister of Defence of Peru, Pedro Cateriano Bellido, accompanied by the Commander of the Navy, Admiral Carlos Tejada Mera, the Chief of Staff, Vice Admiral AP Wladimiro Giovannini and Vice-Minister for Resources Defense Jakke Valakivi visited Shipyard Industrial Services Marina (SIMA) to monitor progress in building the sailing school ship BAP "Union". To date, the construction works are to a high degree of progress having been assembled 28 of the 38 blocks that make up the hull.
The BAP "Union" instruction first ship built specifically for that purpose for the Navy of Peru, would be released - depending on progress - in December this year and commissioned in 2015 Their mission, under the command of the Naval Academy (ESNA), is to train naval cadets and midshipmen, conducting civic actions to promote Peru and abroad. The estimated investment is between 60 and 70 million. The ship - whose technical dossier was developed by the Spanish company CYPSA Naval Engineers - be the barque type and have a length of 115 m, beam 13 m, depth 10 m. and a draft of 6 m. The shift will be approximately 3,500 tons. Have 4 sticks and you should reach a top speed of 12 knots.
