Thank you, merci
With his Rafale nose , Reco NG pod's and Mica missile under the wing, the Foker 100 test stand of the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) sensation.
The device is presented at the Paris Salon will be received before the end of 2015. The aircraft will gradually replace within the DGA flight test current Myster 20.The device is a former airliner which was amended by Sabena. Bigger and better adapted than the current 20 Myster, Avion Testbed New Generation has been designed to increase the cost efficiency of flight testing. The aircraft was equipped with two tons of cabling to integrate all types of systems. The size of the aircraft is also an asset. The test bench can integrate multiple systems at once. Aboard four operator stations and six installation bays were built. The cockpit has hardly changed. Only a radar score just betray the new functions of Foker 100. This instrument allows test pilots to use directly from the radar. They can contribute their expertise. Their role is to take the place of the future user.
The DGA hopes to achieve up to 150 flights a year with this unit while minimizing downtime due to ground configuration changes. But the DGA EV insists that the number of flying hours is only one aspect of the work of ABENEG Each flight is followed by an important pioneering work data.
The new test bench is an essential tool for the DGA, it allows among others to maintain the expertise of the French aerospace agency in charge of armament programs.
The device can be used to test a large number of systems: radar, communication systems, electronic warfare, IFF, inertial platforms or designation or recognition. A payload developed under the wing allows to test missiles. The weapon can not be launched, but the homing head can be turned on to confirm its operation.
As the director of the DGA EV avioner the camera allows for systems that are not yet mature and are too large to be signed on for hunters DGA EV. The latter currently has forty aircraft (helicopters and fixed wing) Mirage 2000 with 9 recognizable by their gray livery. In words, the DGA EV will have no more than 25 devices have. The seven Myster 20 will be gradually withdrawn from service. To operate these devices, about twenty test pilots are available. With relatively little flying hours per year, the life of the ABENG should be at least 20 years. The new flagship of the DGA EV will begin flight testing in 2016.

France delivered the FREMM frigate to Egypt next day 23
(Defensa.com) The French shipyard DCNS take place on June 23 at its headquarters in Lorient transfer of ownership of a multi-mission FREMM (Frégate Européenne Multi-Mission) to the Egyptian Navy frigate type. No ship name yet known, but is known to keep the number of tack D651. The meeting will be chaired by the Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Navy, Admiral Osama Rabie and his French counterpart, Admiral Bernard Rogel.
The ship originally named FS "Normandie" (D651) was initially intended to join the Aquitaine class of the French Navy with delivery expected to OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d'Armement) on behalf of the DGA (Direction Generale l'Armement) in late 2014. After the celebration in February this year of a large government-to-government agreement between the French and Egyptian authorities that included the signing of several contracts with French manufacturers to supply 24 Rafale fighter Dassault Aviation EM / DM, air-air and ground-to-air MBDA and associated equipment and services missile frigate was included in the package and their original purpose changed.
Under the contract, DCNS made a series of modifications to the ship including the translation of interfaces, eliminating the vertical launchers DCNS SYLVER A70 initially installed for the operation of cruise missiles ground attack long-range MBDA Mdcn ( Missile of Croisière Naval) antennas and electronic countermeasures system Elettronica Nettuno 4100. The company is also responsible for the training of the crew of the ship and secure the supply of spare parts, logistical support and future maintenance of the ship.
The ship keeps pitchers SYLVER A43 Aster 15 missiles hired MBDA France, sonars Thales UMS 4110 CL and CAPTAS 4 missile launchers MBDA Exocet MM40 Block 3 and Eurotorp MU90 torpedoes, anti-torpedo systems DCNS and Contralto-V Release Sagem NGDS multiple lures, the direction of pull electro-optical Sagem Vigy MM, the multifunction radar Thales HERAKLES and remotely operated weapon stations Nexter Systems NARWHAL 20B.
The ship will leave Lorient around July 20 to Egypt, where he will arrive in time to participate in the inauguration of the Suez Canal scheduled for August 6. The ship of 6,000 tons displacement and 142 meters in length will combat unit more modern and capable of Egyptian Navy and one of the most advanced in the region frigates surface. Egyptian Navy frigates currently operates old American and Chinese origin.
In 2018 the Egyptian Navy should include four corvettes Gowind DCNS 2500 contracted in July 2014.
