Lockheed Martin Moves to Secure $15 Billion Fighter Jet Sale https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/09/09/lockheed-martin-moves-to-secure-15billion-fighter.aspx Rich Smith Sep 9, 2018

It's been nearly two decades now since Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) trumped Boeing's bid to build a new "Joint Strike Fighter" for the U.S. military -- a "fifthgeneration" fighter Lockheed will keep on building for the U.S. military for the next 50 years, and a fighter that then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen once called "the last manned fighter" the U.S. will ever build.

So why is Lockheed still building F-16s?

Page 9 of 39

For all the success Lockheed has enjoyed selling its new F-35 stealth fighter jets, it's Lockheed Martin's F-16 Falcon that's still the world's most popular fighter jet.

Nearly 20 years after winning the contract to build the F-35, Lockheed Martin is still building F-16s hand over fist. And as we learned last week, it's laying the groundwork to ensure it can keep on building F-16s for decades to come. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Indianapolis, Indiana – Takumi USA will showcase 3D-Hybrid’s metal 3D printing tool at IMTS 2018. The result will be one of the largest and fastest metal 3D printers with full in-process machining capability, according to Karl F. Hranka, founder of 3DHybrid Solutions With Takumi‘s large double-column machining center and 3D-Hybrid‘s economical Wire-Arc Additive tool, we will be breaking new ground in the market for a high precision, lower cost metal 3D Hybrid machining center, Hranka says.

Page 10 of 39

Takumi USA: The Takumi H12 double-column machining center is the perfect platform to accept the integration of the additive process, due to the large work envelope and high-speed machining capabilities.

3D-hybrid: The demonstration will be focused on matching with the machine‘s strengths for producing very large high precision parts found in the tooling, mold and die industries. Why Hybrid? Consolidating 3D-Hybrid‘s Additive Manufacturing tool with a CNC machine is filled with value propositions:  Single setup and in-process machining  Simplified management structure and reduced learning curve  Greatly reduced barrier to entry for metal AM  Repair and salvage applications  Just-in-time manufacturing, feeding wire to near net shape production  Reduced material costs on large parts  Multi-material parts Production metal 3D printed parts require post machining to be joined to mating parts. 3D-Hybrid embraces that and is focused on evolving and advancing directed energy deposition technologies as 3D-tools for the CNC environment, Hranka says.

The company offers three metal AM technologies for CNC machines: Wire-arc additive manufacturing, laser metal deposition and cold spray. Together these technologies can handle almost any metal AM application and alloy, Hranka says.

A380.

The double-deck A380 is the world‘s largest commercialaircraft flying today. Its crosssection provides flexible andinnovative cabin space, allowing passengers to benefit fromwider seats, wider aisles and more floor space, tailored to theneeds of each airline.

Carrying 544 passengers in a comfortable four-class configuration and with a range of 8,200 km /15,200 km, the A380 offers superior economic performance, lower fuel consumption, less noise and reduced emissions. The A380‘s competitor is the Boeing 747-8.

In 2017, Airbus Commercial Aircraft delivered 15 aircraft.Following an agreement reached between Emirates Airline andRolls-Royce and a subsequent agreement between EmiratesAirline and Airbus Commercial Aircraft, Airbus is to adapt theA380 delivery stream with six aircraft deliveries shifted from2017 to 2018 and six others from 2018 to 2019.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft re-confirms the target to deliveraround 12 aircraft in 2018 and 8 in 2019. Airbus CommercialAircraft has an industrially robust process to deliver down to6 aircraft a year.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is continuing to invest in the A380and in 2017 announced the outcome of a development study: The A380plus; Aerodynamic improvements, cabin enablers (new forward stairs / optimizing galleys and staircases / crewrest) allowing 80 additional seats, bringing the baseline offeringof the A380 to some 575 seats in 4 classes, additional range (+300 nm) or payload (+3 tonnes MTOW), system improvementsand maintenance optimisation together is expected to bring 13% COC per seat reduction compared to today‘s A380s.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft launched the iflyA380.com website enabling passengers to identify if the A380 is operated on aparticular route and to book flights directly with the airlinesflying A380s.

A380.

A380 cu două punți este cea mai mare aeronavă comercială din lume, care zboară astăzi. Secțiunea transversală asigură spațiu flexibil și inovator pentru cabină, permițând călătorilor să beneficieze de scaune mai mari, de coridoare mai largi și în general de spațiu mai mare, adaptat nevoilor fiecărei companii aeriene. Cu o capacitate de 544 de pasageri într-o configurație confortabilă de patru clase și cu o rază de 8.200 km / 15.200 km, modelul A380 oferă performanțe economice superioare, consum redus de combustibil, zgomot redus și emisii reduse. Competitorul lui A380 este Boeing 747-8. În 2017, Airbus Commercial Air a livrat 15 aeronave. În urma unui acord încheiat între Emirates Airline și Rolls-Royce și un acord ulterior încheiat între Emirates Airline și Airbus Commercial Aircraft, Airbus trebuie să adapteze fluxul de livrare A380 cu șase livrări de aeronave livrate în perioada 2017 și 2018 și alte șase în perioada 2018 și 2019.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft își reconfirmă obiectivul de a livra în jur de 12 aeronave în 2018 și 8 în 2019. Airbus Commercial Aircraft are un proces industrial capabil, pentru a livra până la 6 aeronave pe an.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft continuă să investească în A380, iar în 2017 a anunțat rezultatul unui studiu de dezvoltare: A380plus; Îmbunătățirile aerodinamice, dispozitivele de acționare a cabinei (noi scări în față / galeriile de optimizare și scările scolare / crewrest) permit 80 de locuri suplimentare, oferind o ofertă de bază a modelului A380 la aproximativ 575 locuri în 4 clase, o gamă suplimentară (+300 nm) MTOW), imbunatatirea sistemului si optimizarea intretinerii impreuna sunt de asteptat sa aduca 13% COC pe reducerea locurilor, fata de A380.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft a lansat site-ul iflyA380.com, care permite pasagerilor să identifice dacă A380 opereza pe o anumită rută și să rezerve zboruri directe cu companiile aeriene care zboară cu A380.

Cap. ARME DE FOC și MUNIȚIE State official predicts US weapon sales increase in 2019 https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2018/09/10/state-official-predicts-usweapon-sales-increase-in-2019/

Defense News By: Aaron Mehta 3 hours ago WASHINGTON

A top State official expects U.S. arms exports to grow next year. (U.S. Air Force/Master Sgt. Eric Burks)

SUA au vândut mai multe arme altor țări în prima jumătate a anului fiscal 2018 decât în întreg anul fiscal 2017. Este viabilă ideea?

Da, dacă cereți opinia unui oficial de stat de la Departamentul de Stat,.

"Aș anticipa - sunt un optimist și un realist - că cifrele de anul viitor vor fi mai mari decât numărul din acest an", a declarat Andrea Thompson, subsecretar de stat pentru controlul armamentelor și securitatea internațională, în cadrul unei întâlniri cu reporterii din 7 septembrie.

Potrivit evidențelor Agenției de Cooperare în domeniul Apărării în Securitate, SUA au semnat de 46,9 miliarde dolari vânzări de arme către parteneri străini și aliați, depășind cifra de 41,9 miliarde dolari din întregul an fiscal 2017.

Dar Thompson atrage atenția asupra unor politici noi lansate la începutul acestui an de la administrația Trump, menite să încurajeze exporturile de arme americane și să stimuleze industria internă, ca un factor care va avea un impact direct anul următor.

Alte politici vizează încurajarea partenerilor de a cumpăra bunuri americane, inclusiv prin scăderea suprataxelor pe produse și scăderea costului transportului de arme.

Un potențial important ar putea proveni din India, o piață profitabilă pe care firmele din S.U.A. o au în vedere.

"Fie că este vorba despre domeniul aerospațial, sistemele funciare sau sistemele maritime, toate sistemele noastre sunt extrem de competitive și sunt sigur că vor satisface nevoile Indiei acum și în viitor ", a spus liderul DSCA, Lt. Gen Charles Hooper.

Cu toate acestea, orice așteptări pentru India ar trebui să fie temperate de realitate.

India este renumită de cât de încet achiziționează arme, unele tranzacții se destramă sau se modifică chiar și după semnarea contractului. Respectarea politicii țării "Make in India" este, de asemenea, complicată. Întrebat despre această provocare, Hooper a spus că actualizările privind modul în care funcționează procesul DSCA, inclusiv o mai mare transparență cu privire la costuri și la termenele de la începutul procesului, "ajută foarte mult" la accelerarea procesului. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Cap. Cyber&ITC Bringing Digital Transformation to Airbus An Interview with Marc Fontaine, Digital Transformation Office https://www.bcg.com/publications/2018/bringing-digital-transformation-airbusinterview-marc-fontaine-digital-officer.aspx Executing a digital transformation is challenging for any company, but especially for a manufacturer of products as complex as commercial aircraft. For the past several years, Airbus has been implementing a comprehensive program to digitize its design, supply-chain management, service support, manufacturing, and other functions—as well as to transform its organization and corporate culture.

As digital transformation officer for Airbus, Marc Fontaine has been leading this initiative for more than two years. A former officer in the French navy, Fontaine has served in various executive capacities at Airbus and its predecessor companies— including leading the merger that created the European aerospace consortium—for more than two decades. He has also founded several publishing and software-editing enterprises. Fontaine sat down with Loïc Mesnage, a partner at The Boston Consulting Group and managing director of the firm‘s Paris office, to discuss Airbus‘s progress with its digital transformation and the goals it aims to achieve.

Hello, Marc. Thanks for being with us today. What does digitization mean to the aerospace and defense industry?

We are designing, over six to ten years, a very complex product—probably the most complex product to be manufactured. And each time you get it wrong, for whatever reason, you have to modify it. And digitization will make a difference of hundreds of billions of dollars in redesign. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Navantia semnează un contract cu Arabia Saudită pentru construirea a 5 corvete Navantia Signs a Contract with Saudi Arabia for the Construction of 5 Corvettes http://www.asdnews.com/news/defense/2018/09/06/navantia-signs-contract-withsaudi-arabia-construction-5-corvettes

Aerospace & Defence - Network Pe 12. Iulie, guvernul Arabiei Saudite a semnat contractul pentru construirea a cinci corvete, o operațiune care ajunge la 1,8 miliarde de euro, cea mai mare din istoria șantierelor navale spaniole publice cu un client străin.

Acest contract consolidează viitorul imediat al Navantia și va aduce beneficii tuturor șantierelor navale ale companiei.

Semnarea acestui contract cu Arabia va fi benefică pentru toți lucrătorii Navantia, pentru industria locală cu care acesta colaborează și, în special, pentru întregul golf din Cadiz, ceea ce explică faptul că ar fi trebuit să primească sprijin din toate zonele al Administrației. Această operațiune importantă pune în valoare și prezența Page 18 of 39

internațională a companiei, deoarece o plasează într-o zonă fundamentală pentru dezvoltarea de noi programe.

Pe lângă contractul de corvette, Navantia a convenit cu SAMI (Arabia Saudită Industries Military) crearea unei societăți mixte în Arabia Saudită. Această alianță beneficiază de Navantia și permite promovarea programelor de apărare din țară, consolidând economia sa. Acest joint-venture reprezintă o oportunitate excepțională pentru Navantia de a-și poziționa sistemele integrate și soluțiile avansate tehnologic pe piața arabă și zona de influență și este aliniată strategiei de internaționalizare a companiei.

Corvetele pentru Arabia Saudită se bazează pe modelul Navantia AVANTE 2200, nava polivalentă special concepută pentru misiunile de supraveghere și controlul traficului maritim, misiuni de căutare și salvare și asistență pentru alte nave, printre altele. În plus, navele vor avea o capacitate importantă de apărare a bunurilor strategice, a inteligenței și a capacităților antisubmarine, antiaeriane, a războiului antispumat și a celor electronice ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

No more exposure: This forward unit is getting an upgrade that lets Strykers fire missiles remotely https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/08/31/no-more-exposure-thisforward-unit-is-getting-an-upgrade-that-lets-strykers-fire-missiles-remotely/ Todd South

31 august 2018

A new tech solution being fielded to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany this month will remove a long-standing vulnerability to dismounted troops working with Strykers.

Until now, if a soldier needed to fire a Javelin missile from the light-armored vehicle, the Stryker would have to stop, the soldier would get out and hit the target with the shoulder-fired missile, and then jump back on board.

It‘s kind of a 20th Century method for shooting small missiles that leaves the soldier too exposed for modern combat, where troops are required to fight fast-targeting enemies with advanced sensors and shooters.

New upgunned Stryker arrives in Europe The newly upgraded Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle - Dragoon has arrived in Germany to equip the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

So, researchers with Project Manager Soldier Weapons at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, adapted the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station, which has been Page 23 of 39

EU resource productivity https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/DDN-201809101?inheritRedirect=true&redirect=%2Feurostat%2F

EUROSTAT Productivitatea resurselor cuantifică relația dintre dimensiunea economiei și utilizarea resurselor naturale. Valoarea productivității resurselor va crește dacă economia, măsurată în funcție de PIB, crește într-un ritm mai rapid decât consumul de materii prime, măsurat prin consumul material intern. În anul 2017, productivitatea resurselor în Uniunea Europeană (UE) a crescut la 2,04€/kg, ceea ce reprezintă cu 39% peste valoarea 1,47€/kg în 2000 și cu 0,6% peste nivelul înregistrat în 2016.

Criza financiară și economică între 2008 și 2009 a avut o influență clară asupra evoluției productivității resurselor UE. După o creștere moderată în perioada anterioară crizei, productivitatea resurselor a înregistrat o creștere accentuată în timpul crizei, datorită scăderii accentuate a consumului de materii prime interne.

Criza a afectat activitățile mari consumatoare de materii prime din industria prelucrătoare și a construcțiilor mai mult decât restul economiei, de exemplu, industria serviciilor.
