German Navy NH90 Sea Tiger Maritime helicopter Performs Maiden Flight

The first NH90 Sea Tiger maritime helicopter took off on-schedule for its maiden flight, at Airbus Helicopters' site in Donauwörth, Germany. The German Bundeswehr ordered 31 NH90 Sea Tiger multi-role frigate helicopters for the German Navy’s shipborne operations in 2020. Airbus Helicopters is now entering a qualification phase that will focus on flight testing the helicopter and new systems to be installed on board the NH90 Sea Tiger. Deliveries are scheduled to begin at the end of 2025. The helicopters will replace the German Navy’s ageing Mk88A Sea Lynx fleet which entered into service in 1981. The Bundeswehr already operates 18 NH90 Sea Lion naval transport helicopters which were delivered on schedule between 2019 and 2023. The Sea Tiger is the latest version of the proven NH90 NFH (Naval Version).

The developer of unmanned aerial systems General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) revealed that recently a new drone launched from the air, a small UAS deployed from a larger UAS, flew for the first time.

Nicknamed Eaglet, the small ALE (Air-Launched Effects) drone was launched from a UAS MQ-1C Grey Eagle of the UAS of the UAS of the UAS of the UAS of the UAS of the U.S. Army as part of the U.S. as a.A.A. a.A.A. demonstration of

According to the company, the Eaglet flight was jointly funded by GA-ASI and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) of the US Army Combat Capabilities Development (DEVCOM).

“The first Eaglet flight was an important milestone for the GA-ASI/US Army team,” said GA-ASI president David R. Alexander. "Eaweathan aims to be a low-cost and survival UAS with the versatility of being launched from a Grey Eagle, rotating wing aircraft or land vehicles. It allows extended sensor range and greater lethality, while providing survival capacity for manned aircraft."

Eaglet falls into the 'ALE large' category, which encompasses larger and more powerful sensors or payloads. Due to its design, the Eaglet is able to carry a variety of payloads in support of various Army missions.

As explained by the company, a Grey Eagle can transport an Eaglet "for thousands of kilometers" before launching it while being controlled by unmanned or unmanned teams or as a component of advanced team command and control concepts.

The company did not provide details about Eaglet's reach after the launch of a Grey Eagle or its payload capacity.

Eaglet can work together with other long-range payloads carried by Grey Eagles, helicopters or other platforms to support deep detection in multi-domain operations.

With this successful flight from Eaglet, GA-ASI said it would work with the U.S. Department of Defense to introduce him in other exercises to further determine his potential.

The previously unknown Eaglet is the newest entry in GA-ASI's Evolution series of UAS concepts. Evolution is preceded by the "autonomous collaborative platform" Gambit and the drones launched from the air Sparrowhawk and LongShot.

German Navy received new NH90 NTH Sea Lion multi-role helicopter

On June 25, the German Navy took delivery of its new NH90 NTH Sea Lion multi-role helicopter, according to a service statement.

“In the medium term, it will replace the Sea King Mk 41 and take over its tasks, including search and rescue,” it said in a statement. 

Also noted that the new NH90 in the NTH (Naval Transport Helicopter) configuration could be used for reconnaissance and it has significantly more sensors than the version of the army – such as navigation devices and 360-degree maritime surveillance radar.

In total, 18 Sea Lions have been ordered for the German Navy, with deliveries expected to be completed in 2022. The selection of the Sea Lion as the successor to the Sea King was made in March 2013 and the corresponding contract was signed in June 2015.

Thanks to its multi-role capability and growth capability, the Sea Lion will not only replace the German Navy’s Sea King Mk41 fleet but significantly enhance its operational capabilities. The fly-by-wire flight controls of the NH90 Sea Lion reduce the crew’s workload thanks to its high precision and ease of use, which particularly come to the fore in over-water hovering, even in poor weather conditions.

The German Navy has also recently opted for the naval version of the NH90 to succeed its 22 Sea Lynx Mk 88A on-board helicopters that have been in service since 1981.

Five nations are already using the NH90 in its naval NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) version and have completed more than 50,000 flying hours in SAR, humanitarian and military missions, with the 90 helicopters that have been delivered so far.

Accident with Vietnam's Su-22 is recorded on video

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/01/2023 - 22:22 in Aeronautical Accidents, Military

A Sukhoi Su-22 combat jet of the 921st Vietnam People's Air Force Regiment crashed in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai on Tuesday (31/01).

Captain Tran Ngoc Duy, 31, who was piloting the aircraft, died in the accident while holding a training session near noon, according to the state military media. A video recorded the moment the plane arrived to land when it turned and ended up colliding on the ground.

The aircraft was landing at an air base in Yen Bai when it crashed, the agency said, adding that the pilot was ordered to eject, but tried to save the plane and died later.

The Ministry of Defense instructed Air Defense - Air Force Service and relevant agencies to start an investigation into the cause of the accident and support the bereaved.

Although Vietnam's civil aviation sector has a strong safety history, accidents involving military aircraft are more common.

The Su-22 jet fighter developed by the Soviets has been in service since the 1970s, with Vietnam acquiring a limited number of Su-22/UM aircraft from 1979.

Vietnam relies heavily on Russia for its military acquisitions, such as Su-30, Su-27 and Su-22 fighters, although it is seeking to diversify its equipment and weapons suppliers.

German Army NH90 helicopters to receive electronic warfare and SatCom updates

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/02/2021 - 11:00 in Helicopters

German Army NH90 helicopters will receive updates to the electronic warfare system (EWS) and satellite communications (SatCom) based on the requirements identified during operations.

Electronic warfare systems will be provided by Hensoldt AG, while new satellite communication systems will come from Collins Aerospace.

The upgrades will give the German Army's NH90 TTH (tactical transport helicopter) capabilities adapted to current operational requirements, BAAINBw said. EWS provides helicopters with self-protection, detecting threats from radar, infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) based countermeasure systems and initiating countermeasures. The new SatCom system will allow global communication connectivity.

The introduction of the two systems is part of the update program, which consists of about 60 individual measures, to adapt the NH90 TTH to current threat situations, such as those identified during missions in Afghanistan and Mali.

“I am pleased that we have now been able to commission these two important capabilities as they contribute significantly to the success of the mission in operations. The new EWS provides the helicopter with significantly greater self-protection than the EWS currently in use. With the SatCom system, the crew can communicate with other units in the area of operations at any time through a stable and topology-independent connection,” said Gero Anthe, head of the NH90 systems management unit at BAAINBw.

The German Army received its first NH90 in 2006 as a replacement for the Bell UH-1D. The 10.6-ton NH90 can lift four tons and has a maximum range of about 1,000 kilometers. In addition to the army, the country's Navy will operate two variants of the helicopter, the Sea Lion, which will carry out search and rescue (SAR), maritime reconnaissance and transport missions, and the new Sea Tiger, which will carry out anti-submarine activities and anti-surface warfare tasks.

On July 29, NATO Helicopter Management Agency (NAHEMA) and the German Federal Office of Equipment, Information Technology and Service Support (BAAINBw) signed a contract with NATO Helicopter Industries (NHI) to integrate the updates into helicopters.
