FAMAE increase its plant Rockets and Missiles and working on a new version of the rifle 542-1
(Defensa.com) Factory and Arsenals of the Army of Chile (FAMAE) in its annual report includes a project "defines the requirements for implementing technologically rocket plant, allowing to have the ability to perform planned maintenance rockets and missiles Army and eventually the rest of the Armed Forces. " The text says that "Discussions have been initiated with manufacturers, in order to get certification for servicing the missiles that the company provides."
To that reported in the memory 2013, the company stated that "The plant rockets and missiles have the capability to execute projects design and manufacture of rockets and missiles for various purposes, as well as extension services lifespan and testing environmental, etc. "This project has a deadline of 2020 and corresponds to an expansion of the current capabilities of the plant rockets and missiles.
FAME includes among its objectives, on the other hand, the development of a prototype virtual shooting polygon for obtaining a quick and efficient in the use of basic Galil rifle learning. Recall that this year a draft co-manufacturing Galil rifle and 5.56mm ACE expected FAMAE also perform maintenance of such weapons in the future started in FAMAE.
Likewise, the modernization of Computer Shooting M-109 Howitzer be undertaken to address obsolescence of Tyre TPT Computer 510C. In this context, it is conducting a study which aims to replace both its hardware and software for modern versions, developed entirely in Chile allowing future modifications such as the entry of new firing tables for each type ammunition purchased by the Army.
Design and development of a new version of 542-1 rifle (5.56 mm)
With a new ergonomics and interfaces that allow the incorporation of accessories is to improve the interaction of the soldier with the gun in the modernization of 541-1 rifle (7.62 mm), incorporating elements and smaller commercial developments to expand its capabilities and keep it in operation. FAMAE has made an effort in this direction of internationalization of these products. Rifles for those same studies lead the manufacturing process of ammunition according to NATO standards.
Moreover, in 2013 FAMAE completed the development of the ability to produce naval exercise caliber ammunition 76/62 mm for the Chilean Navy project called Pingueral. In the 2014 Report indicates that the company still holding talks with the Chilean Navy to develop the ammunition that is used in the three misileras Reshef class boats, which carry two caliber mounts 76/62 each and Frigate FF-19 "Almirante Williams" to which you installed an Oto Melara gun after his arrival in Chile.

Bolivia Strikes Big Oil - Morales
A major new oilfield has been found in Bolivia, the first in 23 years, Presider Evo Morales announced on Thursday.
Russian energy company Gazprom and French petrochemical giant Total may explore new areas of Bolivia for gas, Gazprom said in a statement Thursday.
The Boqueron 4 oilfield in the country’s natural gas-rich western Department of up to 28 million barrels of crude, which is enough to triple the country’s known oil reserves and bring nearly $1.7 billion into the state coffers.
The Boqueron 4 oilfield was discovered by the YPFB Andina Oil Company, 51 percent owned by the state and 48 percent – by Spain’s Repsol, with minority investors holding the rest.
President Morales said that the breakthrough “would have been impossible without nationalizing the country’s oil and gas reserves”.
“In 2013 our oil reserves stood at just 16 million barrels, while now they will reach 44 million,” Morales added.

Air Force pilots of Colombia refuse to pilot the "Kfir" by the repeated problems of the plane
(Defensa.com) Due to the constant incidents that occur during flights made by planes, "Kfir" C10 and C12 of the FAC, at least 10 pilots of Fighter Wing Squadron 111 have taken the initiative to "hang helmets "to ask for the floor of this team, the only means with which Colombia has as bomber aircraft and air defense. To this restriction to date have aircraft flying in parades and air shows, adds reason why in the next airshow F-Air 2015 and the parade of Independence of July 20 the "Kfir" would not conduct the traditional air show to which they are accustomed to Colombians.
The fleet "Kfir" Air Force of Colombia underwent a modernization in electronics and weapons that exceeded $ 300 million and the expected they were operational until 2025. But with repeated problems identified and the falling 5 of these aircraft accidents, the Colombian Air Force began a process of evaluation of an aerial means to complement and replace in the medium term, "Kfir". However, the constant requests of the FAC and the Defense Ministry have met with the interests of the Exchequer, who flatly denies the existence of resources for buying new fighter jets.
Remember that the process of modernization and acquisition of aircraft "Kfir" began when the current President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, led the portfolio of Defense under President Alvaro Uribe, and that this process did not have the minimum requirements for awarding a contract of this amount, unknown to date, the process that took place for the selection of this platform, as the "Kfir" was only operated by Colombia, having been dropped some time ago by the own Israel, a country that produced it during the 80s, and Ecuador, who commanded the reserve recently, opting to buy South African aircraft "Cheetah C" used but better flying conditions.
Although the "Kfir" has technology fourth generation aircraft and new weapons has given new skills, remember that your engine is obsolete, being one of the reasons that could not be satisfactorily integrated into modernization to be performed on the plane by the Israeli company IAI also his ID card, copy of the French aircraft "Mirage III" does not allow you to perform the maneuvers of a fighter jet, reaching its maneuverability only 7.5 gravities when it is normal that a plane that you want to accomplish this mission should at least get to 9.
It is expected that the pressure measurement taken by the FAC pilots expedite the acquisition of a new fighter, a process in which three alternatives are being considered: the F-16 Lockheed Martin, the Mirage 2000-5 of the French Dassault and the Swedish Saab Gripen C manufacture. But again the focus is on used aircraft, which could cause a similar scenario that we live with Kfir "for equipment offered in excess of 20 years of manufacturing.
