US Navy to modernize its Super Hornet fleet 2018 - 03 - 07 - www.stripes.com

Boeing will modernize the Navy’s fleet of F/A-18 Super Hornets to extend their life by at least a decade and improve cockpit, communication and fuel systems. The Navy awarded Boeing a $73 million contract to begin upgrading the Super Hornets. Boeing said it would overhaul four fighter jets next month in its St. Louis plant while it builds a new assembly line in San Antonio to modernize the entire fleet. The full-scale overhaul of the Super Hornet fleet is expected to start in the early 2020s. The twin-engine fighter-bombers are widely used in airstrikes against the Islamic State in the Middle East.

“The initial focus of this program will extend the life of the fleet from 6,000 to 9,000 flight hours,” Mark Sears, Boeing program manager, said in a statement last week. “Each of these jets will fly another 10 to 15 years, so making them next-generation aircraft is critical.” A key improvement will be “conformal” fuel tanks, which fit more closely to the aircraft’s contour and allow the plane to carry more fuel while reducing drag. Higher-tech datalink communication systems will be installed along with improved infrared tracking devices and an electronic cockpit touchscreen, said... Lire la suite

German military wrestles with aircraft availability 2018 - 03 - 06 -

www.flightglobal.com

Germany is struggling to maintain the operational readiness of its military aircraft inventory, as obsolescence issues and challenges around the introduction of new platforms combine to diminish front-line availability. Helicopters, in particular, are singled out for their low deployability rates by the German defence ministry’s latest annual report into the readiness levels of all the major weapons systems operated by its armed forces. In the case of the German navy’s 21 Westland Sea Kings and 22 Sea Lynx, the problem is simple: the elderly helicopters – introduced in 1975 and 1981, respectively – are reaching the end of their natural lives. The navy struggled to maintain the minimum deployable fleets for both types throughout 2017, the report says. However, the Sea Lynx’s operational readiness rate of six aircraft, or 32% – based on an average availability of 19 helicopters – is seen... Lire la suite

U.S. Navy vexed by lack of access to F-35 logistics coding 2018 - 03 - 08 -

www.flightglobal.com

The U.S. Navy remains frustrated by its inability to connect the F-35’s logistics software with the other logistics software programs it uses. Efforts to integrate the F-35’s Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) with the Navy’s other internal logistics systems is thwarted by developer Lockheed Martin’s insistence that the software code is proprietary, said Vice Admiral Paul Grosklags in a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Programs on 6 March. “It is certainly our desire and our plan to interface ALIS with the rest of our naval aviation sustainment systems, (such as) DECKPLATE, AMSRR; those types of things we use for all of our other types of aircraft,” he said in the hearing. “One of our challenges right now, quite honestly, is the government gaining insight into the coding within ALIS....
