    Northrop Grumman Delivers 500th AN/APG-81 AESA Radar for the F-35 Lightning II

    Baltimore - November 7, 2019 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has delivered its 500th AN/APG-81 fire control radar for the F-35 Lightning II. The Northrop Grumman AN/APG-81 active electronically scanned array is the cornerstone of the F-35's advanced sensor suite, providing unparalleled battlespace situational awareness that translates into platform lethality, effectiveness and survivability. “As a principal member of the Lockheed Martin-led F-35 industry team, our continued investment in facilities and equipment, production enhancements in process and design, and expanded supply chain capability through second sourcing helped reach this milestone,” said Chris Fitzpatrick, director, F-35 programs, Northrop Grumman. “The 500th delivery of this top-of-the-line fighter radar was made possible by our continuous focus on quality and excellence across our company.” The AN/APG-81 radar has long-range active and passive air-to-air and air-to-ground modes that support a wide range of demanding missions. These modes are complemented by an array of stealth features as well as electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance functions. Northrop Grumman plays a key role in the development, modernization, sustainment and production of the F-35. In addition to producing the AN/APG-81 radar, the company manufactures the center fuselage and wing skins for the aircraft, produces and maintains several sensor systems, avionics, mission systems and mission-planning software, pilot and maintainer training systems courseware, electronic warfare simulation test capability, and low-observable technologies.

    L'Espagne investit pour moderniser ses avions de combat Eurofighter Typhoon

    Le gouvernement espagnol a débloqué une enveloppe de plus de 7 Md€ afin de mener trois programmes de modernisation. Le Ministère de la défense espagnol a annoncé le 14 décembre qu'une enveloppe de plusieurs milliards d'euros avait été débloquée afin de conduire trois programmes d'armement. Le conseil des ministres a ainsi autorisé un investissement de 7,331 Md€ pour la conduite de programmes pluriannuels de défense. Cette enveloppe doit permettre de financer trois programmes jusqu'en 2032. Gr'ce à ces 7 Md€, l'Espagne va pouvoir s'équiper de cinq frégates F-110, de 34 blindés VCR 8x8 et entamer la modernisation de sa flotte d'avions de combat Eurofighter Typhoon. Les dépenses autorisées pour l'Eurofighter sont donc revues à la hausse. 906 M€ devraient ainsi être alloués à la modernisation des appareils jusqu'en 2023. Gr'ce à cette décision, « la Défense pourra moderniser et adapter ces appareils en les équipant de nouvelles technologies », a déclaré le ministère de la défense espagnol. L'Espagne est partie prenante du programme Eurofighter aux côtés de l'Allemagne, de l'Italie et du Royaume-Uni. L'ejercito del aire dispose actuellement de 69 appareils sur les 73 commandés. Les quatre aéronefs restants devraient lui être remis au cours de l'année 2019. La flotte devrait ensuite rester en service jusqu'en 2045. http://www.air-cosmos.com/l-espagne-investit-pour-moderniser-ses-avions-de-combat-eurofighter-typhoon-118485
