When equipping rotating military equipment, you need gears designed and constructed to the highest quality. Our new white paper describes some examples of rotating equipment aboard combat vehicles and ships that incorporate gear technology. It also reviews some basic considerations to remember when you implement gears for these applications. With a better understanding of these factors, you’ll implement a rotating system that will perform effectively and reliably in combat. #gears #manufacturing #defenseindustry #whitepaper

New British Army Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank Trials Progress with Focus on Crew Safety. https://lnkd.in/e2GPfBuu

Safety related upgrades, like those proposed for the V-22, should not be tied to the POM process for funding two years in the future. This is where our National Defense budget bureaucracy breaks down and public confidence in our military capabilities suffers. There is funding available for these upgrades today by re-prioritizing programs within DoD. Let’s get it done.

Trango Systems' subterranean infrastructure offers a realistic training environment designed to simulate the underground settings of tunnels. These subterranean structures are ideal for training scenarios that involve ambush potential, fortified defense, and the concealment of troops and weapons. Such environments have become the preferred battlegrounds for guerrilla warfare and irregular combat, allowing relatively small groups of fighters to effectively resist and engage against larger, more technologically advanced forces. Given that modern battlefields increasingly consist of a combination of streets, subterranean, and urban structures, Trango Systems' subterranean infrastructures are crucial for preparing military forces. It provides a comprehensive training environment that mimics the complex and challenging conditions of subterranean warfare. This ensures that your forces are well-equipped and ready to confront the unique demands of underground combat scenarios. Trango Systems' tunnel kits are strong, withstand extreme weather conditions, and are designed for easy assembly and flexibility, allowing for modifications throughout training sessions. By combining various tunnel kits, you can create a wide array of subterranean structures and adjust them as needed during training. These tunnel structures can be integrated with Trango Systems' Shoot Houses to more accurately simulate real-life combat scenarios in urban environments, enhancing the realism and effectiveness of the training experience.

"One way to understand the nature of the effort to craft a tiltrotor enterprise is to envisage the timeline through which various phases of development of concepts of operations in the use of the aircraft have unfolded for the USMC and how then the coming of the Navy and anticipation of the Army tiltrotor variants represent the next steps. I will suggest such a timeline in my next article". #defense and aerospace #V-22

Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, announced that it has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract worth up to $249 million by the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command for its Organic Precision Fires-Light (OPF-L) program. The initial delivery order is valued at $12 million. As described in Marine Corps solicitation statements, Organic Precision Fires-Light is a new system designed to provide rifle squads and platoons with a man-packable “organic, loitering, precision strike capability to engage the enemy beyond the line of sight.” Teledyne FLIR’s advanced small Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) loitering munition solution has proven highly successful in tests against both moving and stationary armor, vehicles, and dismounted targets. The ability to recover and reuse the new system will lighten the pack load for Marines while increasing their warfighting effectiveness. Teledyne FLIR will deliver the first 127 loitering munition systems to the Marines for test and evaluation later this summer. The contract has a five-year performance period with a three-year option. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gjNszi9W

The Role of Steel in Military Applications: Enhancing Defense Capabilities and Innovations https://lnkd.in/d_xNvPvX Introduction Steel has been a cornerstone of military technology for over a century, playing a crucial role in enhancing defense capabilities and ensuring operational effectiveness. Its strength, durability, and versatility make it an essential material in various military applications, from armored vehicles and weaponry to infrastructure and equipment. This article explores the multifaceted role of steel in the military sector, highlighting its applications, advancements, and impact on modern defense strategies. Key Applications of Steel in Military Armored Vehicles and Tanks: Combat Vehicles: Steel is fundamental in the construction of armored vehicles and tanks, where it provides essential protection against ballistic... #steelprice #steel #iron #steelnews #news #steelmarket #market #industrialnews #LME #HKEX #Londonmetalexchange #metal #metalexchange #investment #investing #stock #stocks

“The Navy has funded two Virginia-class submarines a year since the late 1990s, at a cost of over $4 billion per boat. Under the proposal being floated, the Navy would request only one submarine for fiscal 2025.” Cutting submarines, the critical requirement of our offset strategy to exploit our unmatched undersea technological superiority, to protect other capital programs. Yet we express concern over how our prior years’ budget plans created instability for the development of the shipbuilding industrial workforce while at the same time proclaiming that said workforce (and the submarine industrial base as a whole) is second only to resilient supply chains in our Defense Industrial Strategy. Why hasn’t 10 U.S. Code § 8062 been updated to include a minimum number of boats? Instead, it only explicitly calls out aircraft carrier, amphibious warfare ship, and EA-18G Growler inventories.

The USS Boxer should be a case study for all future Surface Warfare Officers, prospective COs, XOs and Chengs. This was a ship that was devoid of Leadership, Accountability and Maintenance. As our Fleet retires ships, some before their expected service life and shipyards struggle to put new platforms and hulls in the water, it’s critical to elevate our current ships readiness. Without ships ready and able to deploy on schedule, we leave a void in our presence across the seas and stretch the material readiness of ships and their crews already deployed. At a time when our Navy is challenged around the world, it is essential that our Ships and Crews are ready to execute the orders of the National Command Authority whenever and wherever needed. For me, it’s a matter of Leadership, Accountability and War Fighting capability… let’s turn the ship into the wind and make the deck ready to launch and recover aircraft! Close up Fox and Days, left 10 degrees rudder and indicate 70rpms for 15 knots… 🇺🇸⚓️

The U.S. Navy’s supply corps will spend the next two years applying lessons from the service’s aircraft fleet to surface ship readiness. CRG's x3 high-level suggested areas of focus needing to be addressed for success: 1. Integration of Maintenance Operations Center: Establishing a centralized hub, akin to the Aviation Maintenance Operations Center, to coordinate supply officers, maintainers, and community leadership for efficient problem-solving and resource allocation. 2. Supply Chain Integration: Streamlining the supply chain by designating Naval Supply Systems Command as the supply chain integrator, ensuring accurate assumptions about spare parts, and maintaining effective feedback loops with engineers and industry partners. 3. Real-time Tracking & Analysis: Implementing robust tracking systems to monitor mission capable rates in real-time, identify areas of concern, analyze causes of delays, and develop preventive measures to maintain high readiness levels for submarines and surface ships.
