http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId;=20040831005533&newsLang;=en August 31, 2004 11:45 AM US Eastern Timezone Orbitals Coyote Supersonic Sea-Skimming Target Missile Successfully Launched for U.S. Navy Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE:ORB) announced today that it carried out another successful flight test of the GQM-163A Supersonic Sea-Skimming Target (SSST) system for the United States Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) on August 27, 2004. The flight test, conducted at the Navys missile test range in southern California, is part of a series of flights Orbital will conduct under the companys SSST Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract from NAVAIR. Orbital was awarded the EMD contract in 2000 to meet the Navys requirement for an affordable SSST to simulate supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles for fleet training and weapon systems research, development, test and evaluation. Orbital is scheduled to conduct several more flight tests of the Coyote target vehicle through the end of the year. We are very pleased with the results of the recent flight test of the Coyote target vehicle, said Mr. Keven Leith, Vice President of Navy Programs for Orbitals Launch Systems Group. By meeting all the objectives for the flight test, we believe we are well down the road toward moving the program from its developmental phase to providing the Navy with a robust operational anti-ship target system. The GQM-163A Coyote target missile design integrates a four-inlet, solid-fuel ducted rocket ramjet propulsion system into a compact missile airframe 18 feet long and 14 inches in diameter. Ramjet supersonic takeover speed is achieved using a decommissioned Navy MK 70 solid rocket motor for the first stage. Rail-launched from Navy test and training ranges, the highly maneuverable GQM-163A Coyote achieves cruise speeds of Mach 2.5+ following the separation of the MK 70 first-stage booster. The range of the target vehicle system is approximately 50 nautical miles at altitudes of less than 20 feet above the sea surface. This most recent flight test of the GQM-163A Coyote vehicle was the second consecutive success for the program, following a successful flight carried out earlier this year in May. The primary objectives for this test, all of which were achieved, included the verification of booster ignition and stable first stage flight, the verification of the transition of the ducted rocket ramjet from booster separation to inlet start, and verification of the ducted rocket ramjet ignition, navigation to waypoint capability, verification of the laser altimeter performance, and initial horizontal weave and vertical maneuver performance verification. In addition, the test target missile was heavily instrumented in order to collect flight environment data to refine aerodynamic and guidance models for future missions. Orbital is currently the only U.S. Department of Defense prime contractor to be both developing and operating ramjet-powered missile systems. In addition to developing the GQM-163A Coyote, Orbital provides the Navy with launch services for the MQM-8 VANDAL SSST. The MQM-8 VANDAL is based on the liquid-fuel ramjet-powered Talos missile and provides the Navy with a legacy SSST until the more capable GQM-163A Coyote is operational. Orbital is developing and manufacturing the GQM-163A Coyote at its launch vehicle engineering and production facility in Chandler, Arizona. Orbitals major subcontractors include Aerojet Corporation in Gainesville, Virginia and Sacramento, California for the solid-fuel ducted rocket motor and CEi in Sacramento, California for the vehicles avionics system. Orbital develops and manufactures small space and rocket systems for commercial, military and civil government customers. The companys primary products are satellites and launch vehicles, including low-orbit, geosynchronous and planetary spacecraft for communications, remote sensing, scientific and defense missions; ground- and air-launched rockets that deliver satellites into orbit; and missile defense systems that are used as interceptor and target vehicles. Orbital also offers space-related technical services to government agencies and develops and builds satellite-based transportation management systems for public transit agencies and private vehicle fleet operators.

-- A Fact Sheet on the GQM-163A Coyote SSST can be found on Orbitals -- High-resolution photos and artist renderings of the GQM-163A ---------------------- Company officials said Sept. 1 that all mission objectives were achieved with the launcher in full tactical configuration. U.S Marines operated the equipment. Completion of this first flight-test moves CLAWS one step closer to providing Marines the expanded air defense protection thats critical to their expeditionary warfare operation, Tad Dickinson, CLAWS program manager at Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS), said in a statement. As a mission systems integrator, weve leveraged our experience and investment from the Ground Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile program to provide the Marines an affordable, highly capable and low-risk CLAWS program. CLAWS is an all-weather, mobile air defense system for the Marine expeditionary forces. The system uses a Humvee as its platform and the AIM-120 AMRAAM as its interceptor. The program is part of IDS Integrated Air Defense Systems product line and will be the first block fielded as the Marine variant to the Army/Marine Corps Ground Launched AMRAAM common launcher program, the company said. The Marines awarded the CLAWS launcher contract to Raytheon in April 2001 | |

http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/news/channel_aerospacedaily_story.jsp?id=news/car09074.xml Aerospace Daily & Defense Report 英國航艦的細節仍不明 Questions Remain On U.K. Carrier Design By Thomas Withington 09/07/2004 09:13:33 AM LONDON - Thales and BAE Systems are conducting a $193 million assessment phase to select a final design for the United Kingdoms two new aircraft carriers, the HMS Queen Elizabeth and the HMS Prince of Wales. Each ship may carry around 50 aircraft, which would make them the largest warships ever operated by Britains Senior Service. They are to replace the navys three Invincible-class, Cold War-era carriers and enable British forces to operate independently of host nation support, a cornerstone of the countrys defense doctrine. The assessment phase was set to end this year, but in July Geoff Hoon, the secretary of state for defense, announced an extension which he said will enable [the Ministry of Defence] to carry out further risk reduction work and increase the maturity of the design. Lee Willett, Head of the Military Capabilities Program at Londons Royal United Services Institute, said some of the delays may be because we still dont know the size of the air wing, along with the cost of both the aircraft and the hull, which to a great [degree] will dictate the size of the ship. It is believed the eventual design will be built around the Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant of the forthcoming F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The U.K. and U.S. Marine Corps plan to buy the STOVL variant to use on its carriers. While the STOVL variant will need a ski jump to help get aloft, the MOD also has said it wants the vessels to be fitted for - but not with - catapults and arrestor equipment. This would enable the future operation of aircraft such as the E-2 Hawkeye early-warning carrier-based aircraft. Willett said this gives flexibility in the design should a different variant of the JSF be purchased. Catapult challenges But the catapults could create some challenges if the navy installs them at a later date. Critics have suggested that steam catapults will be incompatible with the electric drive/gas-turbine propulsion system planned for the vessels, which would omit a steam boiler. Other options include an Electro Magnetic Catapult (EMCAT), which could use electricity generated by the ships propulsion system. But some experts have argued that the electromagnetic field generated by the EMCAT system could risk detonating explosives on aircraft preparing for launch. While the design questions may be answered, there could still be more hurdles. Willet said the Royal Navy wants the new ships, but there still hasnt been a firm commitment from the MOD to build the carriers. ----- Carried on an F/A-18 aircraft assigned to VX-31 Air Test and Evaluation Squadron, the SLAM-ER received real-time data via standard Link-16 messages that originated from an orbiting Joint STARS aircraft. Once the information was relayed automatically through the F/A-18 controlling the missile, the SLAM-ER trained its seeker on the moving target and gauged its velocity. The F/A-18 pilot then used Stop Motion Aimpoint Update technology to designate the precise impact point and simulate attacking and destroying a truck traveling in traffic between 40-50 mph. SLAM-ER will provide Naval warfighters with the first network-centric weapon capable of tracking down and eliminating moving targets, said Mike Marks, Boeing vice president and general manager for U.S. Air Force Fighter and Bomber Programs, and Weapons Programs. This is a significant step forward in weapons development. The SLAM-ER production software with moving target capability will be delivered to the U.S. Navy in October 2004, followed by flight tests in mid-2005, and fleet deployment in October 2005. SLAM-ER missiles have a range exceeding 150 nautical miles (278 kilometers) against land and ship targets, and can fly a pre-planned or target-of-opportunity route to the target area.

http://www.payvand.com/news/04/sep/1076.html 9/9/04 Germany to deliver 2 submarines to Israel capable of carrying nuke warheads German Defense Minister Peter Struck has finally given green light for the delivery of two submarines to Israel which are also capable of carrying nuclear warheads, IRNA reported from Berlin. We are certainly prepared to help Israel in the acquisition, the minister said Thursday in an interview with the economic daily Handelsblatt. Berlin halted unexpectedly last November the delivery of two German-made Dolphin submarines to Israel, citing fears of a new arms race in the Mideast region. The center-leftist German government coalition also expressed deep concerns after Israel modified three other German submarines with nuclear warheads. Germany built and delivered at no cost the three submarines for Israel in 1999 and 2000. Although Berlin is legally banned from exporting arms to crisis regions, Germany has become one of Israels major arms supplier. German arms exports to Israel reached some 900 million dollars between 1998 and 2001. | |

新加坡海事和港務管理局今天表示，這起意外發生在凌晨零時四十分，地點在新加坡以東四十海浬的新加坡海峽附近，就是白礁霍士堡燈塔東北方海面。 相關單位初步調查後表示，今天這起事故主要是Merkur Bridge號從左側超越海軍登陸艦「堅持號」時，突然掉轉方向企圖閃避迎面而來的一艘油槽輪高耐號，結果就碰撞到登陸艦堅持號左舷，接著又和另外一艘油槽輪相撞。 這起意外導致油槽輪引擎室起火，船員很快就把火勢撲滅。但油槽輪左舷上方被撞破一個小洞，而登陸艦「堅持號」的左舷輕微地損壞。 港務局表示，貨櫃船和油槽輪目前都停靠在新加坡海峽航道分隔線以外的地點，情況穩定。這起撞船意外，並沒有造成油漬污染。 | |

We are now finalising the financing of the deal, Pakistan navy spokesman Commander Aamir Naeed told. Pakistan is not looking for other options, because such selections are made after extensive studies and negotiations, he said. The frigates, equipped with up-to-date technology, would carry surface-to-surface missiles, anti-aircraft guns, anti-air defence, torpedoes and anti-submarine warfare helicopters, he said. There is a colossal disparity between the two countries and it is not to our liking. He said while India had no dearth of weapons supplies from Russia, Pakistans armed forces suffered due to sanctions imposed over Islamabads nuclear programme in the 1990s. The sanctions were lifted after Pakistan joined the US-led war on terror in the wake of the September 11 attacks in the United States. Pakistan has since won a spate of economic and business incentives which helped President Pervez Musharraf steer the economy out of stagnation. However Karimullah said despite lifting of the sanctions the country was facing difficulties in finalising defence deals with European countries. We are still feeling (the effects of sanctions) that is the reason why we have decided to go with China, the admiral said. | |

法戈在參議院武裝部隊委員會聽證會上主動說明了此一計畫。美國目前在太平洋駐有「小鷹號」航母，以日本的橫須賀為基地，屬「前進部署」型態，不時在西太平洋等地演訓，包括與亞太國家聯合演習。 第二艘航母以何處為基地，法戈沒有說明。唯據瞭解，最初有三項方案，分別是琉球、關島及檀香山。熟悉亞太情勢的人士透露，琉球首先出局，原因之一是琉球居民一直不滿美國在當地駐軍，尤其近來狀況較多，令五角大廈卻步。關島是個合適地點，比起檀香山，關島距離台海及朝鮮半島較近（關島距離兩地約兩千四公里，檀香山距離台灣約八千一百公里），但是檀香山享有「內政考量」的優勢，即就業機會等選票考量。而且檀香山是太平洋美軍總部所在，其珍珠港過去停泊主力艦，深度、寬度、碼頭設施等都符合航母所需，因此呼聲最高。 近幾年來，美國有計畫的增加在太平洋地區的軍力。海軍方面，三艘「洛杉磯」級攻擊型核子潛艇駐防關島。空軍方面，戰鬥機聯隊、轟炸機、空中加油機、RQ-4A「全球之鷹」先進偵察機、C-17長程運輸機等也陸續進駐或計畫進駐，同時關島也備妥了B-2隱形轟炸機所需的特殊機庫（具空調等功能）。華府且有一說，指美國要在關島部署巡弋飛彈。 增駐航母的具體意涵為何，法戈沒有說明。不過他稍早在聽證會上說，他的轄區內，有些「傳統上令人擔心的地方，例如朝鮮半島；有可能發生誤判的地方，例如台灣海峽和克什米爾」。 聽證會上，有議員問起「台灣是否贊同美軍的重新部署計畫？」法戈回答說，「我沒有問台灣這個問題，也不會去問」。 | |

http://www.defenceindia.com/13-sep-2k4/news1.html Sri Lanka to buy second Indian OPV Sept 16, 2004(Tamilnet) Sri Lankas navy is to buy a second Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) from India, press reports said Thursday, quoting newly-appointed Sri Lankan Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Vice Admiral Daya Sandagiri. Talking to reporters after assuming charge as the new CDS, Vice Admiral Sandagiri, who is also the Commander of the Sri Lanka Navy, said the request for second OPV was placed when Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse visited India last month. The large vessel is capable of a top speed of 21 knots, and takes a crew of 140, including 15 officers, reports said. It can also carry up to 80 troops. We are going to make use of the Indian Credit Line to purchase the second OPV, which will be a refurbished one, he said, adding that the Navy was not aiming for separate air wing in near future. We have financial constraints in setting up a separate air wing for the Navy, although it could increase the capabilities of the force to a large extent. Therefore, we are not looking at anything of that sort right now, UNI quoted him as saying. Sri Lankan Navy purchased a Sukhanya Class helipad OPV from India in early 2000 with the purpose of setting up an exclusive air wing for the Navy. Reports in the Sri Lankan press said the deal was worth US $20 million. The vessel, commissioned later that year, has been renamed the SLNS Sayura. However, the entire plan was shelved with the single engine helicopter yet to reach Sri Lanka from India, UNI reported. At the same time, Sri Lanka also acquired two missile-equipped deep-sea patrol ships bought from Israel. Describing the current visit by the Indian Naval Chief as a great occasion for the Sri Lankan navy, Vice Admiral Sandagiri said that he had productive and positive discussions with his Indian counterpart. Our interaction and co-operation with the Indian Navy has been very cordial and productive even before the ceasefire agreement with LTTE was signed in February 2002, he added. | |

無網址 僅供參考 JANES DEFENCE WEEKLY - SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 The Pakistan Navy is seeking to acquire four frigates and four submarines in addition to the four Type F-22P frigates (Jaingwei-II class), currently being negotiated with China, and the three Agosta 90-B submarines being built by France. The four ships from the Chinese and the three submarines are not enough to maintain a minimum deterrence, Chief of Navy Staff Adm Shahid Karimullah said. We need more. The money is being arranged for us to acquire more submarines and more ships. While acquisition plans are still in the early stages, they depend on uncertain funding sources, the Commander, Pakistan Fleet, Vice Adm Mohammad Faroon, told JDW. However, for now the navy is looking at roughly four additional new submarines, he said. More or fewer are possible, if more or less money becomes available, he said. You have to look in your pocket and then decide what you can buy. The navy is still considering a variety of options for the submarines, but is primarily focusing on a single-hull design and air independent propulsion. These will be the primary things that guide us, Adm Faroon said. The design should be finalised by 2005, After production of the F-22Ps is started, Pakistan will again evaluate its needs with an eye to acquiring an additional four frigates, Adm Faroon said. If our experience with the F-22Ps is good, we may go in for another four, with better sensors, better machinery, he added. The navy is now considering a larger ship - more than 3,000 tons as compared to the 2,400-ton ships under consideration now - with greater endurance, he noted. Pakistan and China are close to signing a deal for the four F-22P frigates for which they have already been negotiating and only need to work out the details of a loan that China is offering Pakistan, Adm Karimullah said. We hope that this loan will be finalised and soon after that well be able to sign a contract, he said. China was offering a commercial loan and Pakistan was looking for friendship terms, he added. The ships will be equipped with at least one each of the naval version of the Hafei Aviation Industry Z-9C helicopter, Adm Faroon said. However, the rest of the weapons and systems were still under negotiation, he said. The Pakistan Navy also took delivery earlier this month of two additional Jalalal-class fast attack craft-missile boats. These are the improved version of the ones we had made about four to five years ago. These are faster, with a more attractive weapon load, Adm Karimullah said. The procurement plans come amid increasing US-Pakistani naval co-operation (see page 4). Adm Karimullah said one Pakistan Navy destroyer will be patrolling international waters near Pakistan trying to interdict potential insurgent operations. Senior Pakistani government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Pakistan is offering to support the US naval presence in the northern Arabian Sea, close to the Persian Gulf. Pakistan has offered to extend unspecified support services to the US Navy if Washington gives consideration to supplying Pakistan with new equipment, such as maritime reconnaissance aircraft, the officials said. The Pakistan Navy is in the ideal position of being able to be of assistance to the US Navy in such a crucial part of the world, said one government official. Our navy can perform a range of functions from assistance in patrolling the waters of the northern Arabian Sea to providing logistical support wherever possible. | |

倫敦泰晤士報廿七日報導，加拿大向英國買了四艘二手潛艦，結果潛艦卻嚴重故障與銹蝕，根本無法下水服役，加拿大政府可能為此控告英國。 報導指出，加拿大於一九九八年購買這四艘柴電潛艦，但四艘都迄未下水服役。其中一艘由英國造船廠全面翻修整建後，最近才準備交給加拿大海軍。另外三艘已經交給加國的潛艦，有兩艘是全新的，從未加入英國皇家海軍服勤，卻問題重重，包括閥門出現裂縫及有一個大小相當一塊大披薩的凹痕。據指出，其中任何一項瑕疵都可能導致艦體破裂。 英國否認必須為這些問題負責。負責為加拿大海軍準備這些潛艦的英國航太系統公司一名發言人表示：「如果你購買一輛停放在車庫內多年的二手車，你不可能期待它性能完美，一定要確定它可以上路。潛艦是極精密複雜的船隻，再度啟用前必須完成許多程序。」 泰晤士報指出，其中一艘新潛艦試航通過巴拿馬運河時，艙內溫度竟高達攝氏六十五度，使人懷疑是否適合前往中東等地的溫暖海域執行任務。 這筆軍購案似乎是優惠交易：四艘幾近全新的潛艦建造成本高達十六億美元，成交價卻只有四億四千萬美元（一九九八年的價格）。這批潛艦是冷戰時代產物，英國汰換後，以核子動力潛艦取代。 加拿大海軍消息人士指出，其中的「溫莎號」潛艦在加拿大購進後不久就開始滲水，「布魯克角號」、「奇科迪米號」與迄未交船的第四艘潛艦「維多利亞號」也有排氣閥門無法嚴實關緊的問題。檢測結果顯示，這些排氣閥門均有裂損或腐蝕現象。 報導指出，閥門出現凹痕的「維多利亞號」已經引起有關責任歸屬的爭議。加國海軍人士認為，該艦可能在交運前撞到碼頭或撞到他船，然而英國方面堅稱，在離開造船廠時，「維多利亞號」狀況非常良好。 加國海軍相關文件顯示，「奇科迪米號」的壓力艙銹蝕情況相當嚴重，這是導致一再延後交船的主要原因。此外，英國國防部涉嫌暗中拆卸「奇科迪米號」的零組件，以使另外三艘潛艦保持堪用狀態。 加國當局估計，進行必要的整修將使這四艘潛艦的成本增加到將近九億美元。加國在野黨國會議員已要求英國支付額外的整修費用。 【2004/09/28 聯合報】 | |

http://www.asiatimes-chinese.com/2004/09/0929usa.htm http://www.phoenixtv.com/home/news/world/200409/29/333197.html 第七艦隊巡弋日本海 美國NMD實戰部署邁出第一步 (29/09/2004) 10月1日之前，美國太平洋艦隊所屬幾艘最先進的“宙斯盾”戰艦將在日本海海域展開巡弋。這是布什政府落實兩年前提出的導彈防禦系統設想的第一步，象徵著美國的國家導彈防禦系統(NMD)開始進入實戰部署階段。 剛剛走馬上任的美國第七艦隊司令喬納森·格林納德少將喬納森沒有透露部署的具體時間。不過，海軍部長英格蘭早在今年年初正式宣佈過，“宙斯盾”部署到日本海的最後期限是10月1日。而喬納森少將又表示，“部署日期沒有變”，因此，美國最先進的“宙斯盾”驅逐艦一定會在本週五前，進駐日本海。 喬納森沒有透露部署的具體艦名。不過，由於太平洋艦隊目前只有6艘“宙斯盾”戰艦，即“漢密爾頓號”、“科蒂斯號”、“約·S·麥凱恩號”、“史蒂珊號”、“費特茲吉拉德號”和“本福德號”，所以首度出巡的“宙斯盾”也就是它們其中的成員。 喬納森更不願意透露“宙斯盾”艦部署的具體任務，只是泛泛地解釋說，這些戰艦的主要任務是對“有關導彈活動”進行遠程搜索和跟蹤，並將所獲得的情報資料直接傳到阿拉斯加格利裏堡和範登堡的空軍基地的反導中心，“如果覺得有必要的話”，範登堡空軍基地將會發射攔截導彈。不過，在明年之前，美國暫時還沒有部署攔截導彈。 報道說，喬納森泛泛之語省去了複雜的程式，但第七艦隊在日本海巡弋的真正任務是擔起美國國家導彈防禦系統的重擔。(中新網) | |
