AgustaWestland, Dodaam Sign Training MOU
Sep. 21, 2012 - 12:36PM |

LONDON – AgustaWestland bolstered its bid to supply the South Korean navy with new shipboard helicopters by signing a memorandum of understanding for training and support with South Korean company Dodaam Systems.

The Italian company previously supplied 23 Super Lynx helicopters for operation from South Korean guided missile destroyers on anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare missions. It is now bidding the AW159 multi-role helicopter – a major development of the earlier Lynx – for the Asian nation’s Maritime Operational Helicopter (MOH) contract. Also in the competition is Sikorsky’s MH-60R, which the company hopes to supply under a Foreign Military Sales contract.

On Sept. 6, AgustaWestland signed an agreement to work with Dodaam Systems to supply simulation and training systems if it wins the contract, which might be awarded by the end of this year.

“We’ve agreed to work together on training solutions in Korea,” said Andrew Symonds, AgustaWestland’s vice president, northeast Asia. “We’ve worked with Dodaam in the past, but not extensively.”

Previously, AgustaWestland provided cockpit procedural trainers and other training materials. But because the Korean Navy’s fleet of Lynx-family helicopters could grow past 30, Symonds said AgustaWestland thinks “the time is right to establish something more comprehensive in the training field.”

The South Korean Lynx fleet currently operates out of a central base, which Symonds declined to identify, citing South Korea’s heavy emphasis on security. He said concentrating training into a single center would be an “ideal solution,” and a full mission simulator and cockpit procedural trainers would form part of the package.

“We would provide the training parameters, and Dodaam would go off and provide [the equipment]. We would be very keen to provide expertise regarding training needs analysis and how any equipment should work. I know [Dodaam] are very ambitious and are looking overseas to provide training solutions.”

AgustaWestland may become more involved in South Korean training if it is successful in a series of approaching military competitions. These include the Attack Helicopter (AH-X) and Light Armed Helicopter (LAH) programs. The company also has hopes of extending its existing presence in paramilitary and public service organizations such as the South Korean Coast Guard and national police service.

L'Armée Sud-Coréenne va bientôt disposer de drones kamikazes

A self-exploding high-speed unmanned aircraft will be deployed within two years, which will target coastal artillery shells, long-range self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery and air-cushion vehicles.

The state-funded Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) disclosed the current stage of developing “Devil Killer” striking short-range targets in precision in a seminar on the joint weapons system development spondored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the DND Club in Yongsan, Seoul, last Thursday.

The unmanned aircraft is equipped with a video camera, high-tech navigation system and high explosive bombs. It automatically find what it will strike during its flight in the sky above the target and crash to explode it.

The aircraft, 1.5 meters long and 1.3 meters wide, can fly at the maximum speed of 350-400 kilometers an hour. It can easily move as it has foldable wings and is portable thanks to light 35 kilograms. It can strike Gaemeori coastal artillery positions 15 kilometers off South Korean teritory within four minutes when they are deployed on the Yeonpyeong Islet, according to the KAI.

It could also strike targets in the diameter of 40 kilometers in Baengyrong Islet and Daecheong Islet within 10 minutes. The aircraft can destroy air-cushion vehicles rushing at 80 kilometers an hour after tracing it in high speed, a KAI official said.

La Corée du Sud va doubler la portée de ses missiles


Des missiles, exposés dans le musée de la guerre de Séoul, en Corée du Sud.


La Corée du Sud et les États-Unis sont sur le point de conclure un accord pour doubler la portée des missiles balistiques de Séoul, pour renforcer les défenses contre la Corée du Nord, rapporte dimanche la presse sud-coréenne.

La portée des missiles devrait être étendue à 800 km, contre 300 km actuellement, ce qui les rendrait capables de couvrir tout le Nord, selon des sources diplomatiques citées par l'agence sud-coréenne Yonhap.

Les États-Unis comptent 28.500 soldats sur le territoire sud-coréen et lui garantissent un «parapluie nucléaire» en cas d'attaque. En échange, Séoul a accepté de limiter la portée de ses missiles, en 2001.

Cet allongement de la portée des missiles devrait être annoncé le mois prochain, a ajouté Yonhap. Le porte-parole du ministère de la Défense n'était pas joignable.

En mars dernier, le président sud-coréen Lee Myung-Bak avait indiqué que les missiles du Nord pouvaient atteindre l'île sud-coréenne de Jeju, située à 400 km au sud de la frontière entre les deux frères ennemis. Il avait estimé que le Sud avait besoin d'«un ajustement réaliste» de la portée de ses missiles.

Pyongyang a procédé en avril à un lancer de fusée destiné à mettre en orbite un satellite. Le test a échoué, mais les États-Unis, Séoul et leurs alliés estimaient qu'il s'agissait en fait d'un essai déguisé pour un tir de missiles à longue portée, interdit par les résolutions de l'ONU sur la Corée du Nord.

La Corée du Sud capitaliste et la Corée du Nord communiste restent techniquement en guerre depuis 1953, n'ayant jamais confirmé l'armistice par un traité de paix.

Séoul estime que le Nord dispose d'un millier de missiles, dont une grande partie est pointée vers la capitale sud-coréenne ou d'autres grandes villes.

Le JASSM pose un problème au F-15 coréen


La Corée du Sud se plaint d’une erreur de conception sur le F-15K Slam Eagle qui rend impossible le chargement du missile de croisière furtif JASSM (source: Yonhap News).
D’après l’agence d’acquisition de l’armement de Corée du sud (DAPA), il est impossible de charger les missiles JASSM (Joint air-to-surface standoff missile) sans modifier les pylônes ou l’aile supérieure de l’avion.

« Le missile JASSM qui a une portée de 370 kilomètres était considéré comme le favori d’autant que Lockheed Martin a proposé un prix moins cher que son concurrent allemand Taurus. Mais un test récent a montré que le missile JASSM n’est pas compatible avec le F-15K, car ses plis latéraux supérieurs sont uniquement sur ​​le côté gauche. La DAPA a demandé à Boeing, le fabricant du F-15K et à Lockheed de résoudre le problème, mais aucun des deux n’a répondu… », a indiqué un responsable.

« Pour installer les missiles JASSM sur les deux ailes du F-15K, il faudrait modifier le pylône du F-15K ou l’aile supérieure du JASSM, mais cela coûterait très cher », a ajouté le responsable.

L’anomalie est d’autant plus étrange que le missile AGM-158 JASSM est déjà intégré avec succès sur le F-15E Strike Eagle américain.

Si les révélations de l’agence Yonhap sont correctes, le Taurus aurait donc un problème de prix, et le JASSM un problème d’intégration. Par extension, le missile Storm Shadow de MBDA poserait également des problèmes de prix pour la Corée du Sud.

En attendant, les F-15K peuvent toujours tirer les missiles de croisière AGM-84K SLAM-ER de Boeing.

South Korean display team pilot killed in T-50B crash

A South Korean air force pilot from the service's Black Eagles aerobatic display team was killed when his Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) T-50B trainer crashed on 15 November.
The accident happened in the area of Hoengsong, about 48nm (90km) east of Seoul, with the aircraft having hit a mountainside, according to local media reports quoting the nation's defence ministry. The Black Eagles aircraft had taken off from nearby Wonju air base.
The Republic of Korea Air Force had an active fleet of 75 of the type prior to the crash, including 11 armed TA-50 examples, says Flightglobal's MiliCAS database. The accident represents the first loss of a T-50, which was jointly developed with Lockheed Martin.The Black Eagles began flying modified T-50Bs in 2009, having previously used the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. The team, which displays with eight aircraft, visited the UK in July, participating in the Waddington, Royal International Air Tattoo and Farnborough air shows.KAI has already secured its first export order for the T-50, with Indonesia to receive 16, while the Philippine air force has recently shown interest in buying 12. Lockheed is also expected to offer the type for the US Air Force's prospective T-X jet trainer contest, which could lead to an order for up to 350 aircraft.

Comment dit-on « Dôme de fer » en coréen?


Les lanceurs israéliens sont à peine refroidis, qu’ils intéressent déjà! Séoul pourrait bien être le premier client export du système israélien « Dôme de fer ». Ce système mobile de défense aérienne aura été pour Tsahal, la véritable vedette de l’opération « Pilier de défense » à Gaza contre le Hamas. Car selon les chiffres israéliens, « Dôme de fer » a fait ses preuves et affiche un taux d’interceptions réussies qui dépasse les 90% ! Du 14 au 23 novembre, les cinq batteries déployées ont intercepté des centaines de roquettes artisanales du Hamas tirées vers le territoire israélien, épargnant de nombreuses vies humaines. Développé par l’industriel israélien Rafael, le premier client export de ce système d’interception de moyenne portée devait être les États-Unis, un temps intéressés à l’utiliser en Afghanistan afin d’assurer la protection des bases américaines. Mais le désengagement étant à l’ordre du jour, les discussions se sont arrêtées.
Rebondissement, c’est aujourd’hui la Corée du Sud qui pourrait s’en porter acquéreur. L’achat de « Dôme de fer » par Séoul se ferait dans le cadre d’un accord plus global, dans lequel, les chantiers navals coréens Daewoo fourniraient quatre navires de patrouille maritime de 1000 tonnes pour une valeur de 400 millions de dollars. Mais la menace nord-coréenne est-elle similaire à celle du Hamas? Tout d’abord « Dôme de fer » n’est pas adapté à l’interception de missiles balistiques, une vraie menace pour Séoul (missiles Taepodong, Nodong…). Reste que jamais un missile balistique du nord n’a visé le sud. Et que les États-Unis, qui ont près de 30 000 soldats sur place, devraient déployer des batteries THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) en plus des systèmes Patriot.
Entre les deux Corée, les échanges de tirs qui ont lieu sont le plus souvent des roquettes ou des tirs d’artillerie. Comme l’a montré le dernier accrochage sérieux: le bombardement de Yeonpyeong en novembre 2010. Une menace contre laquelle « Dôme de fer » pourrait effectivement être utile. D’autant plus que Séoul est à peine à 60 km de la frontière nord, et que de nombreuses zones habitées ou industrielles sont à portée de l’artillerie nord-coréenne. Mais, bien qu’efficace contre des obus, « Dôme de fer » coûte cher. Très cher même. Chaque roquette d’interception Tamir revient à environ 50 000 dollars! Et le système peut vite se retrouver saturé par des salves de tirs.
« Iron Dome » fonctionne en plusieurs phases: tout d’abord la détection d’une roquette (radar d’Elta), puis un calculateur (Impress) prévoit le point d’impact déclenchant des sirènes pour prévenir la population, enfin, un missile Tamir vient détruire la menace en vol.
