Poland buy Patriot PAC 3 MSE.

Lockheed Martin, Poland Sign Agreement for Hit-to-Kill PAC-3 MSE Missile
(Source: Lockheed Martin; issued March 28, 2018)
WARSAW, Poland --- Today U.S. and Polish officials formalized an agreement for Poland to purchase Lockheed Martin's Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles and related support equipment. With today's announcement, Poland becomes the fifth international customer to sign an agreement to procure PAC-3 MSE.

"We're honored to partner with Poland in support of the WISŁA Air and Missile Defense system to protect and defend their armed forces, citizens and infrastructure. We also look forward to working with the Polish Armaments Group consortium of companies in support of the agreed to WISŁA technology transfer," said Tim Cahill, vice president of Integrated Air and Missile Defense at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.

"Today's global security environment demands reliable Hit-to-Kill technology and innovative solutions. We expect PAC-3 MSE interceptors to continue serving as an integral layer of defense."

Poland now joins the United States, Qatar, Japan, Romania, and the United Arab Emirates in signing an agreement to procure PAC-3 MSE. Several other nations have also expressed an interest in enhancing their missile defense capabilities with the PAC-3 MSE as part of the Patriot system.

Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor on the PAC-3 MSE upgrade to the Patriot air defense system. The PAC-3 MSE expands the battlespace with a dual-pulse solid rocket motor, providing increased performance in altitude and range. PAC-3 MSE is a high-velocity interceptor that defends against incoming threats, including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and aircraft. The PAC-3 MSE missile uses Hit-to-Kill technology, intercepting threats through kinetic energy via body-to-body contact.

As a world leader in systems integration and development of air and missile defense systems and technologies, Lockheed Martin delivers high-quality missile defense solutions that protect citizens, critical assets and deployed forces from current and future threats. The company's experience spans missile design and production, infrared seekers, command and control/battle management, and communications, precision pointing and tracking optics, radar and signal processing, as well as threat-representative targets for missile defense tests.

Hi! To mirror my post in the CWDB, I submit here my suggestions for corrections in DB3000, related to the P-2 Neptune! Enjoy!

AN/APS-20

- From page 141 of the P2V-5F Flight Handbook (page 167 of the pdf file):
“As a search radar, it can detect a small aircraft (…) up to 65 miles, a medium sized plane (…) up to 85 miles, or a ship the size of a destroyer at (…) 200 miles.” (I do not know if they mean nautical miles or regular ones, though.)
- From page 147 of the P2V-5F Flight Handbook (page 173 of the pdf file):
“The AN/APS-20 radar is (…) capable of scanning through 360 degrees for a map type presentation of land masses, ships, and aircraft.”
- Considering the above, the AN/APS-20 radar should have “Air Search” and a 360 degree coverage.
- In earlier versions, the AN/APS-20 was capable of search, but not of targeting. That is why the P2V-4 and early versions of the P2V-5 had an AN/APS-31 radar installed, for air-to-ground and air-to-air targeting and ranging.

Bahrain Update F-16 to F-16V Block 70 and buy 19 new.

http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/go ... ft-support

http://www.janes.com/article/73694/bahr ... e-approved

https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news ... v-fighters

Lockheed Martin is closer to securing an extension of F-16 production, following the Pentagon’s notification to Congress of the possible sale of 19 new-build F-16V models to Bahrain. The country also wants to upgrade its existing fleet of 20 F-16C/D Block 40s to the F-16V standard. Lockheed Martin officials have been negotiating the deal since 2015.

The estimated cost of the new-build aircraft is $2.785 billion including support. The upgrade is worth $1.082 billion, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA). The upgrade extends to the engines, since 23 new GE F110-GE-129 powerplants would be acquired.

The key elements of the F-16V version—all of which are included in the sale to Bahrain—are the Northrop Grumman APG-83 Scaleable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar; a new modular mission computer (MMC); a large center pedestal display with improved programmable display generators (IPDGs); a high-speed databus; embedded GPS/INS navigation systems; and Link 16. It is not clear whether Bahrain will get the conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) that can form part of the F-16V offer.

The first customer for the F-16V was the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) on Taiwan, which is upgrading its large fleet of F-16A/B models. Then came the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF), a large operator of F-16C/D models.
