Avibras MBDA CAMM present a version adapted to the Brazilian Armed Forces

(defensa.com) Avibras MBDA submitted a jointly developed solution for the Brazilian Program Media Altitude Air Defense part of the adaptation of the missile CAMM (Common Anti-Air Modular Missile), a next-generation French manufacturer. Would involve the development of a national missile, currently known as AV-MMA (Antiaircraft Missile Modular) starting from CAMM and use by the Brazilian Armed Forces of all vehicles and technologies developed for the ASTROS 2020, and the current system.


National participation in the program would be 70 percent. The CAMM provides the ability to be used by all three branches of the armed forces, reducing development costs, maintenance and logistical support. In the UK, it will replace the missile vertical launch of the Royal Navy Seaworlf VL, and Brazil is one of the missiles being studied for adoption by future class corvettes "Tamandaré". It has also been acquired by the Royal New Zealand Navy.

Forbin, I am showing the EMALS track being 300', which would be 91.4 meters I believe.

Here's the info I have on Post World War II Carrier catapult systems...including basic info on EMALS:

If you can fill in some of the blanks, please let me know.

This shows the UK carriers, US carriers, and both of the French Clemnceau carriers and the CDG...which would also include the Brazil Navy's Sao Paulo (former French Foch).

Brazil begins flight training on Gripen
By: BETH STEVENSONLONDON Source: Flightglobal.com 11:55 20 Nov 2014
The first two Brazilian pilots to undergo training for the Saab Gripen NG multirole fighter have completed their first flight on the type: a 50min training sortie conducted over the Baltic Sea on 19 November.

Capt Gustavo de Oliveira Santos and Capt Ramon Pascotto Fórneas – former Northrop F-5 and Dassault Mirage 2000 pilots – of the Brazilian air force have been training in Sweden at Satenas air base, where all Gripen training takes place, according to a statement from the service.

They flew the Gripen D variant and were accompanied by Swedish air force pilots. After take-off, an ascent was made to 35,000ft in 1.5min, before manoeuvres were carried out in order to meet the training schedule set by the Swedish air force.

Both pilots will spend six months training in Sweden and become the first Brazilian instructors for the Gripen E/F aircraft that were ordered by Brazil in October. Air force personnel have previously flown the Gripen prior to ordering the type, but Santos and Fórneas are the first that will be responsible for training other pilots for the force.

Three hours after landing, the pilots began to follow a new flight simulator training course, the Brazilian air force says. The main benefit of flying the Gripen as noted by the pilots was the aerodynamic advantage provided by the canards, it adds.

The Brazilian Gripens will initially replace Mirage 2000C fighters that have already been retired, and eventually the F-5 and Alenia/Embraer A-1M (AMX) fleets that are still in service.

This first training flight was conducted the day after an air force official announced that the service plans to acquire an eventual total of 108 Gripens.

A first batch of 36 aircraft – including eight twin-seat examples – is covered by a $5.8 billion contract signed last month, and these will be delivered between 2019 and 2024. Speaking at IQPC’s International Fighter conference in London, an air force official said it has not yet been decided how many additional twin-seat aircraft will be included in the future batches.

Brazil leading selection of 105 mm turret for 8x8 armored vehicle

sYYgftr.jpg

(defensa.com) By the 6x6 armored vehicle Guarani (VIATURA Armored Transport Pessoal - Medium Rhodes or VBTP-MR), the Brazilian Army Ground want to have a 8x8 vehicle equipped with a tower with a 105 mm cannon. high pressure. This vehicle, called VIATURA Armored Reconnaissance (VBR) or VIATURA Armored Reconnaissance-Média Rhodes (VBR-MR) should begin to develop next year.

Met the calendar in five years should begin deliveries, being provided that is built in the same facilities of Minas Gerais in the Guarani 6x6 currently manufactured. The characteristics of this new member of the Guarani family were analyzed in more detail at the end of last September in defensa.com.

Just as the VBTP replace personnel carriers Urutu, the VBR replace Cascavel, the gifted version of a Belgian CMI tower with 90 mm cannon. However, the increased weight and size of the new tower would have required a platform of greater length than the Guarani 6x6. It also must be in lowest position in which lies the Guarani to lower the center of gravity. Being a reconnaissance vehicle, the VBR also maintain its crew, a square formed by three or four soldiers for reconnaissance on foot.

Besides the characteristic of a unit of recognition tasks is likely that this vehicle can perform missions in direct support of fire style of the latest developments in this line as the US MGS (Mobile Gun System), also based on a platform 8x8 as the Stryker although as discussed below, the selected proposals are manned unlike the Stryker. It has therefore launched a program acquisition last November 7th the Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for a prototype tower with an option to acquire a first batch of 13 sets in charge of the Department of Science and Technology Brazilian Army (DCTEx). This RFP was scheduled to take place last August as we reported in July defensa.com.

Companies that are interested in this program have until next month to make proposals being provided between participating Italian Oto Melara with its tower 105m L / 52 Hitfact used in the vehicle Iveco 8x8 Centaur, which could benefit from the participation of this company in the Guarani program. Then there are the Belgian CMI Defence XC-8 with 105 HP Tower, the South African Denel Land Systems with the LMT-105, the Chinese NORINCO (North Industries Corp.) and Brazilian Aerospace and Defense ARES with a tower that uses a cannon 105 mm. Light Weight Gun System supplied by the Israeli IMI Most of these pieces are designed to meet the standard NATO STANAG 4458 and employ 105 mm NATO ammunition. including piercing fin stabilized tracer disposable cap

Brazil gets final delivery of the P-3 Orion, but the Air Force needs more cells for spares

(defensa.om) Air Base Salvador celebrated the commissioning of the entire fleet of aircraft P-3 a.m. Orion. The ceremony marks for the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) the end of its receipt of such equipment for maritime patrol. In July this year was given the last device, registration FAB 7206, completing the fleet of nine active units.

The event was chaired by the Commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant Brigadier Air Juniti Saito and attended by civilian and military authorities, and representatives of Airbus Defence and Space and ATECH, the companies responsible for the modernization of aircraft P- 03. The process began in March 2000. The US aircraft were subjected to a process of internal modernization in Airbus Military in Seville, Spain. The systems have been updated and integrated into a tactical mission device (FITS), operated by a crew of up to 12 troops.

Orungan Squadron (1st / 7th GAV), based in Salvador, participated in SAR missions, reconnaissance, maritime patrol, especially in the areas of operations of oil platforms and ASW, with outstanding participation in Operation Joint Warrior in the UK in 2013 and Operation Brotherly in Argentina in 2014. from 2011 until today Squadron has also trained new crews of various military units FAB.

However, besides other 3 cells available to cannibalize, and with that destination by the Aeronautical Material Park Galeao (Rio de Janeiro) is estimated to FAB- which also e inéditamente would welcome greater involvement of the Marina missions in P-3 should buy a few, maybe more modern, to spare additional cells. Otherwise and fatigue (most likely at the junction of the wings to the fuselage) in little more than a year should stop flying 2 or 3 aircraft models for performance, with few substitutes in the world, but with sufficient copies produced to acquire some logistical purposes.

the Iveco Superrav. now given the main gun here is a 105mm this means that is packs the same fire power as Brazil's top MBT the Leopard 1A5 which is second only to the Venezuelan T72B1.

Russian experts visited Brazil to learn the operative part of the Brazilian System for Air Defense and Aerospace

(defensa.com) Led by General Sergei Babakov, commander of the troops of antiaircraft missiles in the Russian Air Force, the delegation was received by Brigadier General Gershon Machado, Head of Logistics Brazilian Ministry of Defence. The delegation meets an extensive agenda to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the field of air defense.


In Brasilia, the Russian delegation visited the 11th. Antiaircraft Artillery Group, where the commander of the 1st Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade, General Joao Chalella, gave a presentation on how the unit is inserted into the aerospace defense system. "We show the structure of the Brigade and how this is enabled by our communications systems, always under the control of COMDABRA (Brazilian Aerospace Defense Command)," said the general.

The Russian military has also been in the COMDABRA and CINDACTA 1 (1st. Center for Integrated Air Defense and Air Traffic Control), where Brigadier Leonidas Medeiros explained how the monitoring of any network carrier and presented the systems used for Control the nearly 22 million square kilometers of Brazilian airspace.

General Sergei Babakov talked with the leaders of the air defense of Brazil, detailed techniques and equipment already in use in his country and praised the partnership with Brazil. "I am very satisfied with the cooperation between our defense ministries. I hope that these contacts continue as expand our mutual cooperation and understanding between our countries," he said. Brazil and Russia have established a series of talks in recent years on the demand of the Armed Forces of Brazil by a system of air defense altitude, able to knock down targets in transit 10,000 meters. In August this year, a Brazilian delegation traveled to Moscow to carry out further assessments of new Pantsir-S1 system.

Later this year, another visit of a delegation from the Russian Defense Ministry is planned, perhaps to finalize negotiations between the two countries on this issue. Besides discuss technical equipment and air defense, the armed forces of the two countries also exchanged information on design of information security and defense adopted by Brazil during big events like the World Cup Brazil 2014.

The Russian delegation showed great interest in learning from the Brazilian experience because, in 2018, Russia will host the event for the world's biggest football. "We have every interest in continuing this contact to take the experience of Brazil," asegurí General Sergei Babakov.
