It's the NSM, the company I used to work for were pitching it alot. T Thanks my guy That's actually what the biggest complaint was. The vehicle was too large and the front elevated to high every time the vehicle moved forward because it is a back heavy vehicle. The argument was that if the...

Ayy Lmao I'm back

Ok boomer.

I genuinely don't care who operates it, as long as the missiles used are interchangeable and inter-operable among the 3 branches. For example if the Air Force uses the NSM/JSM then I expect the Navy to operate the naval launched variant and the army to operate the shore battery variant. If the...

I'll tell you guys something that you may or may not already know. The reason Komodo Armaments isn't doing so well commercially isn't because of bad product design, sub-par manufacturing, or lack of marketing (as their products in my opinion are of superior quality than those that are made by...

Its great that you guys agree that competition and foreign bidding is good for business. I see a lot of people on formils constantly parroting that inviting foreign defense companies is a bad idea because of 'antek asing' When I met somebody from PUSENKAV awhile ago, they seem to really not...

Well if they buy an entire system it would include the relevant radars as part of their purchase. But yes, it should go into the Air Force. I could be wrong and the SAM competition is an Air Force competition, but with the way things are here (such as the fact the army bought patrol boats and...

It doesn't but we all know the army has a disproportionate amount of influence in the Defense Ministry so waht can you do? At the end of the day I don't really care who gets the SAMS as long as we use a common missile for the three services. The current procurement process is a big joke.

The Air Force is buying the NASAMS and the Army was looking at the Patriot/MEADS, SAMP/T, and the S-400 in a future competition.

No he's an American based overall radar guy. I currently don't know anybody in the program. Also, keep in mind that using the TRS-4D would mean easier integration work with the SM-2 family of missiles. And considering the Army is interested in the Patriot would mean better commonality of...

That's what I prefer THALES would offer, but considering it's only the SMART-S Mk2 vs. the TRS-4D, you might as well pick the TRS-4D.

Affordable? of course! Better than the TRS-4D? I doubt it. For the most part I'm just going with what my colleagues say. I am by no means a radar guy but if we're talking about relative age, the TRS-4D has newer and more modern subcomponents. It's also worth noting that the TRS-4D is an AESA...

The TRS-4D is in a league ahead of the SMART-S. It has better target acquisition and reliability, and is actually the more expensive of the two. The 10,000 ton Bundesmarine MKS180 Omega frigate also uses it. The SMART-S series is also becoming a dated system. For a SUW /ASW vessel, the Mk2 is...

So I was looking at Alman Helvas's tweet about the Terma-Hensoldt offering: And I realized that it is the exact same fit-out on the Baden-Wurttemberg class frigate/destroyer of the German Navy. Down to the relevant sub-systems. After talking to knowledgeable parties and discussing the...

The fact that some of you are seething over me saying **** or swearing in English in general instead of what the context was about is incredibly disheartening. This is literally how those boomers stay in power. You guys are more incline to get mad over small trivial things instead of the bigger...

Because that's how it actually is. Unit commanders are given the discretion on how to outfit the troops under their command. The only thing that is standardized is the uniform, helmet, and rifle (though that's HIGHLY relative, you see commanders outfit their troops with different weapons like...

My bad, I forgot Leonardo won. I only remembered THALES protesting to the Air Force and having the entire competition re-done as a result.

Procurement with LEN subcontracting. https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/migrated/intl/itap/upload/Session-01-02-Unconventional-Oil-and-Gas-Potential-GA-edited-OA-06Mei2013.pdf https://industri.kontan.co.id/news/potensi-shale-gas-indonesia-capai-574-tcf Our shale gas deposits is already...

No the GCI radar program is an import program. My former company worked on it. It's down to the Indra LANZA 3D and whatever it was THALES was offering.

We also have the 5th biggest shale gas reserves in the world, right behind the US. Unfortunately, the boomers think it's too much work.
