U.S. Army to procure BAE Systems’ 155mm BONUS precision-guided munitions https://www.baesystems.com/en-us/article/us-army-to-procure-bae-systems-155mmbonus-precision-guided-munitions

BAE Systems 9 octombrie 2018

The U.S. Army is adding BAE Systems‘ Bofors 155mm BONUS ammunition to its arsenal, through a contract with the NSPA (NATO Support and Procurement Agency).

Already qualified by the Army, the latest version of BONUS defeats heavily armored targets and can be fired from any 155-millimeter artillery system, including M777 lightweight towed howitzers and the M109 self-propelled howitzer family of vehicles.

BONUS is significantly more capable than traditional munitions because it carries two smart munitions that employ advanced sensors, enabling each to independently seek out and destroy separate targets within a radius of 32,000 square meters. Because Page 15 of 46

each BONUS shell carries two smart munitions, its mission success per round is significantly better than with traditional ammunition.

Capt. Terry Shields provides a status update to his higher command using a radio and the Nett Warrior system.

(Pfc. James Crowley/Army)

For decades, soldiers have been handed ever more sophisticated technology.

And with each new device or capability comes not only more weight and space on the kit, but another item that needs a processor and power.

That translates to a host of burdens on not just the soldier, but also on the long logistical tail that supplies the dismounted troop on the front edge of battle. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Anti-Tank Guided Missiles Market Set to Grow to $13,939 M by 2028, Says New Study http://www.asdnews.com/news/defense/2018/10/09/antitank-guided-missiles-marketset-grow-13939-m-2028-says-new-study

Aerospace & Defence - Network Source: ASDReports - Market Research Oct 9, 2018

Anti-tank missiles are a type of guided missiles, which are primarily designed to destroy heavily defeat armoured military vehicles. The size of anti-tank guided missiles vary from shoulder-launched weapons, which can be transported by a single soldier, to larger tripod-mounted weapons, which require a squad or team to transport and fire, to vehicle and aircraft mounted missile systems. Antitank is defined as combat against the enemy‘s tanks and other armoured equipment and vehicles. Its associated tasks include the closing of endangered directions, flanks, and junctions. Anti-tank is the part of combined arms combat which is directed against the tanks armour grouped for attack or already directly attacking, and the armoured equipment detached to their battle formation. For successful combat, the organisation of a solid anti-armour system is required, which includes anti-tank units as a basic element. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

two additional silos in Missile Field #1 at FGA and purchasing six additional Configuration 2 (C2) boost vehicles The construction associated with addition of two silos will be accomplished with $8 million of FY 2019 MILCON funds. MDA continues the development and expansion of long-range GMD capabilities. In November 2017, MDA emplaced the 44th GBI at Fort Greely, which completed the work to increase the number of operational GBI from 32 to 44, with 40 GBIs currently deployed at FGA, and four GBIs at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California. MDA will upgrade the capability of key Ground Systems and Fire Control systems components such as the GMD Fire Control (GFC) equipment, the GMD Communications Network (GCN).

The GFC upgrades will enable On-Demand Communications (ODC) required for the Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV), BMDS System Track, 2- or/3-stage selectable GBI battle management, Mid-Term Discrimination enhancements, and other GFCWarfighter interface and logic improvements. Technology modernization will mitigate obsolescence issues, improve cybersecurity resilience, increase GFC capabilities for emerging threat and raid size, reduce life-cycle cost, increase system reliability and operational availability, and simplify the insertion of future technologies. Additionally, this PE provides funding for System Engineering and Integration to include requirements development and analysis, modeling and simulation (M&S) development, M&S verification, validation, and accreditation, and software independent verification and analysis.

Improved Homeland Defense Interceptors (PE 0604874C). MDA is requesting $561.2 million in FY2019. The RKV will make homeland defenses more robust, help address the evolving threat, enhance kill vehicle reliability, improve in-flight communications to better leverage off-board sensor data, and enhance Combatant Commanders‘ situational awareness via additional hit/kill assessment messages. We anticipate deploying the RKV beginning in the 2021 timeframe in the new missile field at Fort Greely, AK. MDA is also beginning the development of a new booster, the Configuration 3 (C3) booster, which improves upon the C2 booster design by addressing obsolescence and enhancing survivability. • GMD Procurement. MDA GMD Procurement. MDA is requesting $524 million in FY 2019 to support the construction of 20 additional silos and the emplacement of 20 additional GBIs at Fort Greely, AK. Ground-based Midcourse Defense Test (PE 0604887C). MDA is requesting $81.9 million in FY 2019. This GMD Test program supports the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). On May 30, 2017, MDA successfully intercepted an intercontinental ballistic missile target with countermeasures during a test of the GMD element of the BMDS. The test demonstrated a GBI configuration with a three-stage C2 booster vehicle and a CE-II Block 1 Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) that contains alternate divert thrusters. This budget request includes funding a GBI salvo test in FY 2019. MDA will also conduct a Controlled Test Vehicle test, a non-intercept flight characterization mission using an air-launched intermediate range ballistic missile to collect RKV flight environment data using a GBI launched from VAFB in FY 2020. The budget also includes execution of ground test campaigns to support fielding of new BMDS capabilities.

GMD Maintenance and Sustainment. MDA is requesting $147.2 million in FY 2019 for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the GMD weapon system. This includes operations, maintenance and sustainment of the GMD weapon system and operational and support facilities at FGA and VAFB. It also includes Warfighter training, wargames, and exercises to improve readiness.

In FY 2019, MDA will complete the receipt of LRDR hardware, manufacturing and assembly of Array #1 and #2 and factory acceptance testing (FAT) on the arrays. MDA will initiate emplacement/installation and calibration of the first delivered array on-site at Clear Air Force Station (CAFS), AK. The LRDR site will be constructed as two separate military construction (MILCON) projects. Phase 1 ($155 million, FY 2017) funded a Shielded Mission Control Facility and Radar Foundation. MDA began military construction of Phase 1 in FY 2017. Phase 2 ($174 million, FY 2019) funds the shielded Power Plant that includes fuel storage, a maintenance facility, and associated site support, beginning in FY 2019. Initial fielding of the LRDR is planned for 2020 leading to an operational readiness acceptance by the warfighter in the 2022 timeframe.

Pacific Discriminating Radar (PE 0604673C). MDA is requesting $95.8M in FY19 to design and build two discriminating radars in the Pacific. For the first radar, called the Homeland Defense Radar - Hawaii (HDR-H), MDA is requesting $62.2 million in FY 2019 (Budget Project MD41). The HDR-H radar will provide a persistent long-range acquisition and discrimination capability, augmented by other sensors, to mitigate the effects of evolving threats to the BMDS. The HDR-H optimizes discrimination capability in the Pacific architecture and increases the ability of GBIs to enhance the defense of Hawaii. The radar also supports additional mission areas including Space Situational Awareness. MDA plans to competitively award this radar by the end of FY 2018 as delivery order #1 on a fixed-price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to manage, develop, build and integrate, test, and field the radar prime mission equipment.

Scope includes options for limited term sustainment during transition and transfer to the lead service. The radar prime contractor will deliver a full technical data package which will enable the government to effectively and affordably sustain the system. The HDR-H will complete initial fielding in FY 2023 for BMDS integration, testing and readiness for operations. MDA will begin military construction for the HDR-H in FY 2021. The radar will be constructed in two phases: Phase 1 (FY 2021, $138 million) funds a shielded Mission Control Facility and will begin military construction in FY 2021 and Phase 2 (FY 2022, $183 million) funds the shielded power plant including fuel storage and associated site support. MDA is also requesting $33.5 million in FY 2019 for the Homeland Defense Radar - Pacific (HDR-P) radar (Budget Project MD51). In FY 2019, MDA will initiate prime contract award and developmental engineering for radar hardware, software and equipment shelter.

EUROPA 12 septembrie 2018 de Jean-Claude Juncker, președintele Comisiei Europene

3/ O uniune energetică rezilientă, cu o politică privind schimbările climatice orientată spre viitor „Aș dori să reformez și să reorganizez politica energetică a Europei într-o nouă Uniune Europeană a energiei. […] Trebuie, de asemenea, să creștem ponderea energiei din surse regenerabile pe continentul nostru. […] Un obiectiv obligatoriu de 30 % în materie de eficiență energetică până în 2030 este pentru mine un minimum necesar dacă vrem să fim credibili și să privim către viitor. […] Acest lucru nu este numai o chestiune de politică responsabilă privind schimbările climatice, ci și un Page 29 of 46

imperativ al politicii industriale.‖ Jean-Claude Juncker, Orientări politice, 15 iulie 2014.

Prin uniunea energetică și politica sa privind schimbările climatice orientată spre viitor, UE creează un mediu favorabil care accelerează investițiile publice și private în inovare și modernizare în toate sectoarele-cheie. Realizăm această tranziție către o economie modernă și nepoluantă, ținând seama de diferențele în ceea ce privește mixul energetic și structurile economice din întreaga UE. În plus față de actualizarea și consolidarea legislației sale în domeniul energiei și al schimbărilor climatice, UE urmărește să elaboreze măsuri favorabile care să stimuleze investițiile, să creeze locuri de muncă, să favorizeze industriile inovatoare și să se asigure că în acest proces nu este neglijat niciun cetățean, niciun lucrător și nicio regiune. Aceste demersuri vor stimula crearea de locuri de muncă și creșterea economică, vor plasa cercetarea și inovarea în centrul viitorului nostru și vor pregăti industria europeană în vederea sprijinirii angajamentelor privind clima. Europa va continua să transmită mesajul că lumea poate conta pe noi ca lider în domeniul climei. În cadrul Acordului de la Paris privind schimbările climatice, UE s-a angajat să reducă cu cel puțin 40 % emisiile de gaze cu efect de seră până în 2030. Aceasta este o investiție în prosperitatea noastră și în viabilitatea economiei europene, datele subliniind că, între 1990 și 2015, emisiile UE au scăzut cu 22 %, în timp ce produsul intern brut a crescut cu 50 %.

UE este singura economie mare din lume care a transpus pe deplin în legislație măsurile luate în vederea îndeplinirii angajamentelor asumate în cadrul Acordului de la Paris. În acest scop, în 2017 au fost adoptate principalele acte legislative vizând reducerea emisiilor generate de transporturi, clădiri, deșeuri, agricultură, exploatarea terenurilor și silvicultură. Respectivele acte legislative, instrumentele de sprijin conexe și reforma sistemului Uniunii Europene de comercializare a certificatelor de emisii (ETS) marchează instituirea cadrului juridic de politici al Uniunii în materie de climă pentru 2030. Prin adoptarea, în 2018, a patru din cele opt propuneri legislative ale Comisiei din pachetul Energie curată pentru toți europenii, UE a instituit un cadru de reglementare modern și avansat pentru tranziția către o energie curată, răspunzând astfel obiectivului Comisiei Juncker de a deveni un lider mondial în domeniul energiei din surse regenerabile și de a pune eficiența energetică pe primul loc. Există acum un cadru de guvernanță robust, care monitorizează conformitatea și promovează investițiile pentru a garanta atingerea obiectivelor UE pentru 2030 în materie de energie și de climă, și anume o reducere cu cel puțin 40 % a emisiilor de gaze cu efect de seră, o cotă minimă de energie din surse regenerabile reprezentând 32 % din mixul consumului de energie al UE, precum și 32,5 % de economii în materie de eficiență energetică.

În următorii zece ani, pentru a îndeplini angajamentele în materie de climă asumate la Paris, Europa va avea nevoie de investiții în tehnologii cu emisii reduse de dioxid de carbon în valoare de aproximativ 180 de miliarde EUR pe an. În acest context, pentru următorul cadru financiar multianual, Comisia a propus creșterea nivelului de Page 30 of 46

ambiție în ceea ce privește integrarea aspectelor legate de climă în toate programele UE, cu obiectivul ca cel puțin 25 % din cheltuielile UE să contribuie la obiective legate de climă. Însă fondurile publice nu vor fi suficiente – sectorul financiar trebuie să se implice total în lupta împotriva schimbărilor climatice. De la crearea sa, planul Juncker a sprijinit investițiile în eficiența energetică, energia din surse regenerabile și mobilitatea durabilă. Acesta a permis, printre altele, furnizarea de energie din surse regenerabile unui număr de 8,2 milioane de gospodării europene și instalarea unui număr de 28 de milioane de contoare inteligente de energie electrică și gaze.

Uniunea piețelor de capital urmărește să conducă sistemul financiar către sprijinirea unei creșteri economice durabile, ecologice și cu viziune pe termen lung. În martie 2018, Comisia a prezentat primul plan de acțiune al UE privind finanțarea sustenabilă. Acesta stabilește o abordare structurată și sistematică de direcționare a investițiilor private în proiecte mai ecologice, prin schimbarea stimulentelor și a culturii actuale de-a lungul lanțului de investiții. Sectorul financiar joacă un rol-cheie în acest context. Primele măsuri concrete au fost propuse în mai 2018 și au inclus un sistem de clasificare armonizat la nivelul UE (o „taxonomie‖), prin care se asigură definiții comune, transparență și compatibilitate pentru profesioniști și investitorii privați. De asemenea, Comisia a luat măsuri pentru a accelera tranziția către o economie nepoluantă în alte sectoare economice, în principal în transporturi. Ca parte a strategiei sale pentru o mobilitate cu emisii scăzute, Comisia a propus, în noiembrie 2017, acte legislative vizând reducerea emisiilor de dioxid de carbon (CO2 ) provenite din transportul rutier, stabilind noi obiective pentru emisiile de CO2 ale noilor autoturisme și camionete și consolidând poziția de lider a UE în sectorul vehiculelor nepoluante. În mai 2018, Comisia și-a finalizat agenda cuprinzătoare pentru o mobilitate sigură, nepoluantă și conectată, prezentând, printre altele, normele de emisii de CO2 pentru vehiculele grele, facilitând procesul de proiectare a unor camioane aerodinamice și îmbunătățind etichetarea pentru pneuri. În plus, Comisia a propus un plan de acțiune cuprinzător pentru baterii, care va contribui la dezvoltarea unui „ecosistem‖ sustenabil și competitiv al bateriilor în Europa.

Pentru a aborda impactul social al tranziției energetice, Comisia a lansat o inițiativă pentru regiunile cu o utilizare intensă a cărbunelui și cu emisii ridicate de dioxid de carbon. Inițiativa oferă soluții personalizate pentru regiunile afectate de tranziția la o economie nepoluantă. Acest sprijin contribuie la recalificarea lucrătorilor, la modernizarea infrastructurilor și la realizarea de investiții în modele de afaceri ale viitorului, astfel încât nicio regiune să nu fie neglijată în cursul tranziției energetice.

De asemenea, Comisia a înființat Observatorul european al sărăciei energetice, ca o măsură menită să sprijine o tranziție justă și echitabilă din punct de vedere social către o energie curată. În ultimul an, prin activitatea noastră privind solidaritatea și securitatea în materie de energie, ne-am asigurat că niciun european nu rămâne izolat. Summitul de la Lisabona din iulie 2018 a reprezentat o expresie clară a solidarității europene în materie de energie: cu această ocazie, liderii Spaniei, Franței și Portugaliei au convenit asupra unor măsuri care vizează consolidarea integrării Peninsulei Iberice în piața internă a energiei. Comisia sprijină construirea infrastructurii necesare, cu investiții-record în valoare de 578 de milioane EUR pentru linia de tensiune care traversează Golful Biscaya între Spania și Franța, cu scopul de a pune capăt izolării energetice în această parte a Europei. În plus, președintele Juncker și liderii Estoniei, Letoniei, Lituaniei și Poloniei au convenit asupra foii de parcurs politice privind sincronizarea rețelelor de energie electrică ale acestor state membre cu rețeaua Europei continentale până în 2025. Comisia va sprijini aceste state membre pentru a pune capăt izolării energetice a regiunii Mării Baltice. În urma unei cereri adresate de către liderii UE în luna martie a acestui an, Comisia pregătește o propunere privind o strategie a UE pentru reducerea emisiilor de gaze Page 31 of 46

cu efect de seră pe termen lung. A fost demarată o consultare extinsă prin intermediul unei conferințe a părților interesate la nivel înalt și al lansării unei consultări publice. Comisia a demarat lucrările pentru a-și prezenta propunerile până în noiembrie 2018. Acest demers va transmite un semnal puternic partenerilor noștri, informându-i că UE are planuri solide pe termen lung, înainte de reuniunea COP 24 de la Katowice care va avea loc luna următoare.

Boeing Company CHICAGO, Oct. 9, 2018

Boeing [NYSE: BA] announced today that it has completed its acquisition of KLX Aerospace Solutions to enhance its growing services business and deliver greater value to its customers. The acquisition positions Boeing to compete and win in the $2.8 trillion, 10-year aerospace services market.

Its capabilities include distribution and supply chain services. KLX currently markets and distributes products for approximately 2,400 manufacturers and offers approximately 1 million catalog items.

KLX is also a leading supplier of chemicals and composites, which complements Aviall's portfolio, allowing Boeing to offer commercial, defense, business and general aviation customers a broader range of offerings.

"This acquisition brings together the talent and product offerings of Boeing and KLX to provide a one-stop shop that will allow us to create significant value for our customers. There are also extensive opportunities for services growth and innovation for Boeing and our supply chain that is unique to the industry," said Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Global Services. "The resulting boost in supply chain capability will allow us to better serve our customers while profitably and purposefully growing our business."

With approximately 2,000 employees, KLX Aerospace Solutions will continue to operate from Miami with customer service centers located in more than 15 countries.

The acquisition is aligned with Boeing's organic growth strategy, with no change to Boeing's capital deployment strategy or commitment to returning approximately 100 percent of free cash flow to shareholders.

Boeing is the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial airplanes and defense, space and security systems. Boeing is also the world leader in combined commercial airlines and government services with customers in more than 150 countries. The company's products and tailored services include commercial and military aircraft, satellites, weapons, electronic and defense systems, launch systems, advanced information and communication systems, and performance-based logistics and training.
