Their MK18 MOD 2 Kingfish UUVs are typically used for mine countermeasures work, and are typically launched from ships, but they can also be hand-launched by teams in 11m RHIBs. They were deployed external link to the Persian Gulf earlier this year in response to Iranian threats, and replaced their smaller MK18 MOD1 Swordfish counterparts at that time. They’re based on the REMUS 600 external link UUV, with a Small Synthetic Aperture Sonar Module (SSAM) configuration that provides wider sonar swath scan, higher resolution imagery, and buried target detection.

The U.S. Navy currently operates Kingfish with contractors, but the systems will transition to military operation by September 2015.

Hydroid’s smaller MK18 MOD1 Swordfish UUVs are based on the REMUS 100 external link UUV. It possesses a small side-scan sonar, but its scan, resolution, and buried target detection don’t match the Kingfish. It’s also used for basic hydrographic profiling, however, which is a very useful as a baseline before mine countermeasures work begins.

quote:

Status: The Mk 18 Mod 1 Swordfish UUV achieved full operational capabilities (FOC) in 2008. Follow-on block upgrades will combine two separate UUV programs into the Mk 18 family of systems to deliver improved detection capability against buried mines in high clutter environments and are planned to deliver from FY 2014 through FY 2018.

China unveils new NLOS missile at 'Peace Mission' exercises

Richard D Fisher Jr, Washington, DC - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

China has used the latest 'Peace Mission 2014' multilateral exercises to publicly demonstrate a new non-line-of-sight (NLOS) missile, possibly a fibre-optic guided missile, for land forces that it may also be developing for naval applications.

Imagery of this missile and its launcher appeared in Chinese coverage of the 24-29 August 'Peace Mission 2014' exercise involving Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members. According to reports, these vehicles were part of the 112 Mechanized Infantry Division of the 38th Group Army based near Beijing.

Two of these missiles were seen carried by and launched by a version of the new ZBD-04A armoured personnel carrier (APC), also fitted with a new optical/imaging guidance system. The ZBD-04A may be able to carry up to eight missiles.

There is some confusion regarding the number of Chinese NLOS missile programmes. At the 2012 Zhuhai Airshow, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) revealed details of a straight-wing CM-501G missile that, according to publicity, featured a 43 kg warhead and a 70 km range.

Meanwhile, a 22 August report on the popular Chinese-language Korolev blog provided specifications for what it called the AFT-10, which could be a shorter range version of the CM-501G or a developmental variant.

The AFT-10 has a length of 1,850 mm; width of 165 mm; weight, including launch system, of 150 kg; and a warhead weighing 43 kg. Its solid-rocket booster and micro turbojet engine confer a range of 10 km, a cruise speed of 150 m/s, and an attack speed of 230 m/s.

At the 2012 Zhuhai show China also revealed the Sichuan Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation's WS-33 optical/imaging guided rocket, which is longer than the CM-501G at 3,300 mm and heavier at 200 kg, but has a similar 70 km range. From the missile's brochure it is not clear whether it used fibre-optic guidance and it may use datalinks instead. The WS-33 uses folding delta wings compared with the CM-501G's folding straight wings.

Chinese interest in fibre-optic guided missiles dates back to the early 1990s, when academic engineering publications began to examine Western developments. A 2005 article indicates that a Chinese FOGM missile may have been tested during the 2001-2005 Five Year Plan period, with one article providing an image of what may have been an early prototype.

Details and imagery of a new missile began to appear in late 2011. A Chinese state broadcast on 25 December 2011 featured a story about Chinese Academy of Engineering anti-tank guided-missile (ATGM) expert Wang Zhi and also featured an ATGM historical display area showing for the first time a new missile with large fold-out wings similar in configuration to the Israeli Rafael Spike NLOS. In January 2012 images started appearing of the ZBD-04A APC armed with new NLOS missile destined for the Shenyang Military Region.

China's intention to develop fibre-optic guided missiles for multiple platforms was signalled at the 2005 China International Defence Exhibition (CIDEX), when a Chinese company displayed a fibre-optic cable developed for missile guidance.

Its poster depicted a long-range missile conducting an over-hill land attack, ground attack, and anti-aircraft launches from submarines and ground attack from a helicopter. Another Chinese poster from July 2013 of the new Type 032 ballistic missile test submarine also indicated it may be used to test an anti-aircraft variant.

The ship moved out of the harbor with an SPS-73 navigation radar rotating atop a mast on the foredeck, but as it began to sway with the sea the mast was retracted, periscope-fashion, into the hull.

Information on the RKR Admiral Nakhimov refit has been posted on these forums. From the posted info the planned SAM will be the S-400 missile. The current database SAM after the refit is the SA-N-20B missile which is a navalized S-300FM missile. This should be changed to the S-400 missile.

Hi guys, i want to put a request for a new platform.

Indonesia

331 KRI Martadinata (Sigma 10514 PKR)
displacement: 2365 tons (full)
length: 105.11 m
beam: 14.02 m
draught: 3.7 m

- 8x mm40 exocet block III
- 12 mica VL
- 2x triple torpedo launchers


She has just been launched last month and currently undergoing sea trial.
Currently i'm using #2366 as temporary platform and modifying its armaments so it will be similiar to this ship.

sources: navyrecognition -> sigma 10514 pkr frigate indonesia
thales7seas website -> pkr platform indonesia

plus, some adjustments for aircraft.

#4083 & #4084 (F-16CJ & F-16DJ Falcon)
Apparently Indonesia already bought a number of aim-120c7 and aim9x2 missiles, perhaps they can be added into the loadout. I found this info from DSCA release and jane's article.

#3209 (Su-30MK2 Flanker G)
For the flanker, based on SIPRI records and jane's article plus some photos, Indonesia already have in their inventory some of KH-31P and KH-59ME. Few adjustments in the loadout would be good.

By the way, i'm just posting these here. I really appreciated for what the dev have done so far.
Thanks for considering these

Ref the SA-N-21C. Redut 9K97 etc.

Any chance the #3221 SA-N-21D 9M96D can replace the #2695 SA-N-21C for the 32 cell VLS on the #2816 & #2310 Admiral Gorshkov?

Just seems very odd that a warship with sufficient radar and appropriate VLS size to accommodate the 9M96D has such a relatively short range primary AAW weapon as the 9M96 with only a 25nm range?

The 9M96D at 65nm would give the Gorshkov similar capability to peer warships so it seems unlikely that the Redut/Poliment system is relying on just the 9M96?

Unless there is evidence to the contrary?

Regards
K.

For what its worth I am not convinced that the much quoted 40km range for the 9M96 is accurate either, (most of the sources do quote 40km) but there are sources indicating that its range is closer to 60km, and that would be more compatible with the length weight and diameter in comparison to western systems.
These links to data for S-350 land based SAM refer to the 9M96 as a 60km system?

Information on the RKR Admiral Nakhimov refit has been posted on these forums. From the posted info the planned SAM will be the S-400 missile. The current database SAM after the refit is the SA-N-20B missile which is a navalized S-300FM missile. This should be changed to the S-400 missile.

Cheers, Triode,

First sensible reason for the 9M96 40km range I've read.
I didn't appreciate the key difference.
Also now makes sense why the 20380 only has 9M96.

In view of which :

Ref the next DB update can the Gorshkov VLS please be amended to contain 32 x the 9M96D?

It's an important warship type, it's going to be critical to future scenario builds, and the amendments won't take up any extra DB as all the elements already exist.

Thanks,

In September 2014, DARPA signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Office of Naval Research to jointly fund an extended test phase of an ACTUV prototype. DARPA will collaborate with ONR to fully test the capabilities of the vessel and several innovative payloads during open-water testing scheduled to begin this summer off the California coast after preliminary checkout and movement to San Diego. Pending the results of those tests, the program could transition to the U.S. Navy by 2018.

quote:

The vessel was commissioned today in a ceremony at Portland, and in a couple weeks will be sent to San Diego, where DARPA and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) will begin a two-year-long trial period to test the concept and various sensors that can be installed on the 145-ton full load displacement vessel. DARPA will conduct the initial trials and turn the vessel over to ONR later this year. The test phase will run through September 2018.

quote:

In 2018, the ACTUV programme is expected to be transitioned to the US Navy for use in anti-submarine warfare.

quote:

Pending the results of those tests, the program could transition to the U.S. Navy in 2018 for use in anti-submarine warfare and possibly as a multipurpose unmanned “truck” for dirty, dull or dangerous missions, such as mine countermeasures.

quote:

Under a subcontract to Leidos, which is leading a team building the prototype unmanned trimaran for DARPA, Raytheon's Modular Scalable Sonar System (MS 3 ) will be integrated as the ACTUV's primary search-and-detection sonar. Designed to autonomously conduct active and passive searches, detect torpedoes, filter passive threats, localise and track submarines, and avoid small objects, the MS 3 is Raytheon's first fifth-generation medium-frequency hull-mounted sonar system.

quote:

With ACTUV arriving at area, the unmanned vessels will deploy the long-range acquisition mid-frequency active-passive sonar carried in the two side pods, to verify the presence of submarines, and assess the ‘area of uncertainty’ (AOU) affected by the threat, limiting surface ships movement in that area. Follow-through with two higher frequency sonars located in the main hull, are used to improve tracking precision and mission reliability. Once in close proximity to the target, total field magnetometer arrays are used to provide additional information about target activity. Once continuous track is established, very high frequency sonar is used to paint an ‘acoustic image’ of the target, thus identify and classify it as a specific submarine. Once the AOU has been determined and the threat positively identified, thus verifying the AOU boundaries, the rest of the area would be safe passage, the ACTUV will shadow the suspected submarine, keeping it at risk, vulnerable to attack if it moves offensively against friendly forces.

The robotic prototype ship, built for $23 million, has a range of 10,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. “If [Sea Hunter] can demonstrate its range, if we can validate its operating cost per day and prove that it’s safe to operate,” Work told DOD’s Armed with Science blog, “then to me it opens up a whole new vista of things that the Navy can do.”

ACTUV is 132 ft (40 m) in length and weighs 140 US tons (127 tonnes). It was originally designed to trail submarines for weeks or even months at a time.

quote:

Sea Hunter will carry about 40 tons of fuel. Top speed on trials was around 27 knots, Littlefield said, although the actual top speed is dependent on the sea state and how much fuel is on board. The vessel is intended to be operational through Sea State 5 – moderate waves up to about 6 and a half feet high and winds up to 21 knots — and be survivable through Sea State 7, considered to be rough weather with seas up to 20 feet high.

In database RVV-BD (aka R-37M) have range 220nm this is wrong

In normal conditions(lauch from 12km against inbound target) max range of RVV-BD is 200km , from "Vympel" site
http://vympelmkb.com/products/rvv-bd-raketa-klassa-vozduh-vozduh/170/ in russian

But on trials Mig-31 with RVV-BD from height ~20km, hit target at 304êì

In 1997 R-37(izd610) change seeker from 9B-1388

to 9B-1103M-350 and became R-37M (izd 610M)



also there is "Izdeliye 810" extreme long range anti-air missile for PAK-FA bays with 400km range,target max altitude 40km ,this missile is "fat" RVV-BD, as "fat" as it can while still can fit into PAK-FA bays

from General Designer of JSC "GMKB" Vympel " Sokolowski G.A. at the Jubilee Scientific and Technical Conference "Aviation system in the XXI century" :

"In the area of long-range weapons of "Vympel" is working on the modernization of R-37 missiles. As part of the pilot project on a competitive basis based on the
izd. 610M(RVV-BD,aka R-37M) developed new izd. 810. This missile should be placed in the inner compartments. Range increased by 1.5 times, altitude targets up to 40 km. power unit work time - 360 seconds."

so, can you please :
-change range of RVV-BD(R-37M) to 200km
-add new weapon ,RVV-BD(R-37M) for Mig-31BM with range 300km ,ARH seeker with range 40km ,and place this instead of RVV-BD(R-37M) in Mig-31BM loadouts
-change seeker range in RVV-BD(R-37M) to 40km
-maybe add izd.810 to PAK-FA?
