Can we upgrade the sonar signature and sonar performance of the block v version of the Virginia Class SSN.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/ ... ier-105212

Also can you make the Aim 152 H/R

Hypothetical used on the NATF and Super Tomcat 21 CEC capable as it was supposed to be our most advanced AAM.

Also would be great if you could give the NATF some of the upgrades given to the Raptor as far as loadouts go. Maybe even throwing in NSM or JSM loadouts.

https://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/no ... ile-03417/

May want to include some f-35C/ F-35B loadouts in future 2023+ varients as well

All variants of the SR-71 are able to refuel from aircraft other than the #1320 KC-135Q. This is incorrect because only the KC-135Q carries the fuel that the SR-71 can use (JP-7), all other aircraft carry standard aviation fuel which cannot be run properly in the Pratt and Whitney J58 engines on the aircraft.

Furthermore any aircraft with boom refueling capabilities can refuel from the KC-135Q, which is also incorrect because JP-7 was specifically developed for use in extremely high performance aircraft like the SR-71 and the X-51 Waverider and cannot be run properly in standard engines (hence why the KC-135Q exists as unlike all other KC-135 variants it has two separate fuel tanks separating its own fuel from the payload of JP-7.)

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_J58 , https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/JP-7-Fuel , https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJn ... /JP-7.html , and https://www.quora.com/What-makes-JP-7-A ... can-use-it ,

Yep, it's been discussed before but your idea of a unique property seems like it could work well. In addition to your idea of a unique fuel property for the receiving aircraft (so it can't refuel off of just any refueling craft), maybe also have one for the KC-135Q so it can't also refuel anyone else.

I'm not sure what you are asking. DB3000 Facility_691 is a Greek Baseline I-Hawk, hence the photo and description of an I-Hawk being included in the file (see attached image). Ditto DB3000 Facility_686. What is the problem that you see with these files?

#2783 Sea Ceptor CAMM(M)

SEA CEPTOR #2783 Sea Ceptor CAMM(M)

https://www.forces.net/news/what-can-ro ... issiles-do
https://www.savetheroyalnavy.org/from-s ... ve-shield/

As a significant weapon system on new Type 26/31 and retrofitted Type 23 UK RN vessels plus Brazilian and RNZN exports:Please consider

1. Making #2783 Sea Ceptor CAMM(M) faster circa 2000kts. Majority of sources are crediting it with circa Mach 3 performance.
Currently it is incapable of engaging P-800 class supersonic missiles due to a max engagement speed of 1350kts versus the Strobile's 1600kts.
This is unlikely given the time frame, generation of missile and design criteria.
It was designed when the Strobile and similar types were a known quantity and a principle threat, so it should be capable of defending against it.

2. Capable of hitting surface targets. There are numerous and credible reports from several sources including the manufacturer of it being capable of attacking surface targets including small swarming attacks from Jet Ski style threats.

3. As a lesser issue in Royal Navy parlance it is GWS.35 so could you also consider a name change to #2783 CAMM(M)[Sea Ceptor GWS.35]

Thanks for consideration as ever.

Can you consider adding the M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle)

M901: Original production model, an M113A2-based vehicle, with the SEI 901 TUA launcher.

M901A1: M113A2-based vehicle, with the SEI 901A1 TUA launcher.

M901A2: Unused designation.

M901A3: M113A3-based vehicle, with the SEI 901A1 TUA launcher.

The M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle) is a tank destroyer utilizing the BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile. When the original M901 ITV was fielded, it employed an M113A1 chassis. Few M901s were built, as production quickly switched over to the M113A2 in 1979; fitting the TOW Under Armor (TUA) launcher to this chassis resulted in the M901A1. When the M113A3 replaced the M113A2 in production, the M901A1 was in turn replaced in production by the M901A3. Nicknamed the "Hammerhead", the SEI 901 TUA (TOW Under Armor) launcher slews 360 degrees in 10 seconds, elevates to +34 degrees, and depresses to -30 degrees.

Also, is there a way to copy and paste from the data base viewer? That would be awesome for reporting errors?

Donald,

Yes. Sadly, copy and paste do not work there but this works:,

1. Open a blank Word, Wordpad, Notepad or similar type text manipulator.
2. Select what you want to copy in the viewer by holding down the left mouse button and dragging it over the area you want - it can be up to the whole page.
3. Hold down the left mouse button and drag all the selected items (they should be highlighted in blue)over to the open text page.

Alternatively, you can do a screenshot of the viewer information and it will be saved as a JPEG file. The only disadvantage is that you cannot as easily annotate the JPEG.

Hope this helps,

-Wayne

In service dates for first F21 torpedo.
NOV 2019. Not 2017.

Per Janes
Naval Group delivered a first batch of six F21 torpedoes to the French Navy in November 2019. Source: Naval Group

Naval Group has delivered a first batch of F21 heavyweight torpedoes to the Brazilian and French navies.

Announcing the deliveries during a press conference in Paris on 21 February, Naval Group said a first batch of six torpedoes was handed over to the French Navy in November 2019, in addition to an undisclosed number to the Brazilian Navy.

The F21 heavyweight torpedo is being developed by Naval Group for the Direction Générale de l'Armement (DGA) under the auspices of the Artémis programme, which was launched in 2008. It will replace the F17 Mod 2 heavyweight torpedo that equips the French Navy's current inventory of submarines. The system will also be operated by the Brazilian Navy on its new Scorpène-class diesel-electric submarines.

Naval Group has been contracted to deliver 93 F21 torpedoes to the French Navy.

The F21 has an overall length of 6 m and weighs 1,320 kg. The propulsion system is powered by a silver oxide-aluminium primary battery enabling a maximum speed of more than 50 kt over a maximum range in excess of 50 km.

Initial sea trials with a prototype were carried out in the Mediterranean in the first quarter of 2013. From 2013-14, about 10 test launches were conducted, after which launches were interrupted for a time.

Launches resumed in 2017. In June that year the F21 completed a successful qualification in the Mediterranean, and in May 2018 Naval Group announced that it had been launched from a nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) at DGA's underwater test range off the south coast of France. According to Naval Group, the F21 used for this trial was identical to those under production for the French Navy.

A launch from France's first Barracuda SSN, Suffren , is expected to take place in 2020, Naval Group officials told Jane's .

ORIGINAL: ai_beyondcontrol

Hello, here are some suggestions for improvement regarding Chinese HQ-9 families. The current DB3K entries regarding them are very problematic.

The major source of information I used is Ref.[1] and [2]. Considering Ref.[1] from MDAA(Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance) and Ref.[2] comes from US TRADOC (US Army Training and Doctrine Command), these sources should be pretty reliable.

1. Name Update
It should be pointed out that both in Ref.[1] and [2] the naval variants are treated as separate variants. However, as separating existing HQ-9A and HQ-9B DB3K entries with their ship-borne counterpart might broke many scenarios where many Chinese units carrying them, a name update is proposed instead.
-【#1225-HQ-9A】suggested rename to: “HQ-9A/HHQ-9A”, as according to ref.[1] and [2], “HQ-9A” refers to the ground-based variant of the missile, while ship-borne variants on Type 052C is referred to “HHQ-9A” separately.
-【#2690-HQ-9B】suggested rename to:”HQ-9B/HHQ-9B”. Also, as the ground-based version of HQ-9B has been in parade on Oct.1st,2019, this entry shall no longer been considered as exclusive to be “naval”

2. Data Correction
- Currently Both 【#1225-HQ-9A】and 【#2690-HQ-9B】has a maximum anti-air range of 80nm in DB3K. This is significantly (20~50%) lower than the reported value from Ref.[1] and [2]. According to Ref [1] and [2] 【#1225-HQ-9A】 shall have a maximum range of 200km (107nm). For 【#2690-HQ-9B】 Ref.[2] suggest it has a further improved range to a maximum of 300km(162nm).
- Currently【#2690-HQ-9B】has a target max altitude of 80000ft AGL in DB3K, while Ref.[2] suggested it could engage targets at 30000m (98425ft).
- An important issue regarding the missile family is whether it incorporated Active Radar Homing terminal guidance. The listed reference point to a positive answer, however considering this is in constant debate and often has self-contradictory reports, I put it in Section 4.

3. Suggested Additional Variants to Introduce - Realistic
-According to Ref. [1] and [2] HQ-9 family has an anti-radiation variant named 【FT-2000】, according to Ref.[2] it has a reduced maximum range of 100km (54nm).
- According to Ref. [1] and [2] there is an export version of HQ-9, named【FD-2000】.

4.Suggested Additional Variants to Introduce - Hypothetical
Again, the hypothetical part is generally about whether the missile has an Active Radar Homing (ARH) terminal guidance. As this has been a controversial issue (even for sources quite reliable) I put it in hypothetical part, but it would be better if a direct modification is done on current entries.
-According to Ref.[1]【#2690-HQ-9B】are incorporated with Active Radar Homing(ARH) guidance, in addition to its current SARH/IR dual seeker.An hypothetical version of 【#2690-HQ-9B】 with ARH + SARH/IR as a new DB3K entry is hence purposed, if a direct modification to current entry not possible.
-Ref.[2] gave out self-contradictory statement on guidance of 【#1225-HQ-9A】, as in “Guidance” section it claims “inertial+ radio mid-course correction+ TVM terminal”, while in “Range Finder” section it claims the missile has “inertial + Active Radar Homing terminal”. Ref.[3] and [4] also describe HQ-9 family to have an ARH terminal. Similarly, we propose adding a hypothetical version of 【#1225-HQ-9A】using “inertial+ radio mid-course correction+ ARH terminal” ,if a direct modification to current entry not possible.
- Ref.[1] and [2] described a hypothetical variant named 【HQ-9C】 with Full Active Radar Homing.

Also, can the RCS value of J-20 and J-31 be changed back to values as they are in the older version of DB3000? (i.e. v477)
The current RCS value of J-20 and J-31 is "horribly" high. I got some evidence to show, but I am not allowed to post links...
