| Selex Galileo to Protect Malaysia's Hawk Fleet[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Selex Galileo expects to receive a contract to equip the Royal Malaysian Air Force's BAE Systems Hawk advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft with a new radar warning receiver (RWR) system. Named Seer, the self-protection equipment has been designed as a drop-in replacement for BAE's Sky Guardian 200 RWR system, previously installed on platforms including the Hawk.
Selex supported recent flight trials of the new equipment with a Malaysian Hawk. "The RWR met all of the jointly agreed objectives, with Seer being able to detect radars at ranges that were an order of magnitude greater than those achieved by older-generation systems," it says.
Malaysia operates 14 single-seat Hawk 208s and six Hawk 108 trainers delivered between 1994 and 1995, as listed in Flightglobal's MiliCAS database.
Comprising four wide band spiral antennas, two digital detectors, a signal processor and a cockpit display, Seer is "capable of identifying and prioritising complex RF signals in a hostile threat environment", Selex says.
"There are customers out there who are worried about radar threats," says Steve Roberts, Selex Galileo's vice-president capability for electronic warfare systems. "We are getting a lot of interest from those countries."
Latin America and the Middle East are considered to be other potential markets for the new equipment.
Roberts says the company will soon perform a similar flight trial with Seer using an Aero Vodochody L-159 - a type in use with the Czech air force. The equipment is also suitable as an upgrade for the Northrop F-5 fighter, or for use with new-build aircraft and helicopters, he says. A compact version is also to be offered to equip unmanned air vehicles.
Selex has also developed a new electronic support measures system dubbed Sage to equip platforms ranging in size from tactical UAVs to large transport and surveillance aircraft. The company's first proposed installation would give a Lockheed Martin C-130 tactical transport a signals analysis and geo-location function.

| 100 anggota pasukan Malcon East 5 selamat pulang 23/10/2010 1:13pm
KUALA LUMPUR 23 Okt. – Setelah hampir sembilan bulan berkhidmat di bawah Misi Pasukan Sementara Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu di Lebanon (UNIFIL), 100 anggota pasukan Malcon East 5 (ME5) selamat pulang ke tanah air hari ini.
Kesemua mereka tiba di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) pada pukul 6 pagi sebelum dibawa ke Pusat Pergerakan Udara, Pangkalan Udara Subang.
Panglima Angkatan Bersama, Laksamana Madya Datuk Jamil Osman berkata, mereka yang tiba hari ini terdiri daripada kumpulan pendahuluan dan masih ada yang belum tiba kerana kepulangan dibuat secara berperingkat-peringkat.
"Keseluruhan anggota pasukan ME5 yang telah berkhidmat di Lebanon ini seramai 300 anggota, kumpulan kedua ME5 iaitu kumpulan Induk iaitu seramai 200 orang dijangka pulang ke tanah air pada 29 Oktober ini,” katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di majlis sambutan kepulangan pendahuluan Malcon East 5, di sini.
Kumpulan pendahuluan ME ini yang diketuai Mejar Mohamad Mansor Abu Sarim terdiri daripada enam pegawai dan 94 anggota pangkat-pangkat lain. – Bernama | |

| Tentera ASEAN perlu bekerjasama
Oleh MOHD. RAFIE AZIMI rafie.azimi@utusan.com.my KUALA LUMPUR 26 Okt. - Angkatan tentera anggota ASEAN perlu berkongsi pandangan selaku negara jiran dalam menghadapi isu keselamatan yang lebih kompleks, berbahaya dan sukar dijangka pada masa depan.
Panglima Angkatan Tentera, Jeneral Tan Sri Azizan Ariffin berkata, meskipun negara rantau Asia Tenggara kini berjaya mengecapi kemajuan ekonomi, hakikatnya ia masih dihantui isu-isu jenayah merentasi sempadan seperti keganasan, lanun, dadah dan perdagangan manusia.
Tegasnya, peranan tentera dalam menangani isu-isu sedemikian terbukti diperlukan apabila sentiasa diletakkan di barisan hadapan bagi mengawal sempadan negara berbanding agensi-agensi keselamatan lain.
"Bukan setakat itu, kita juga diuji dengan bencana-bencana alam seperti tsunami, penyebaran virus H1N1 serta jerebu yang melanda beberapa negara ASEAN.
"Semua isu itu menuntut kita bersatu bagi menyelesaikannya. Perlu ada kerjasama lebih erat bagi memastikan isu-isu keselamatan dalam pelbagai aspek ini dapat ditangani," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika merasmikan Mesyuarat Panglima Tentera Darat ASEAN (ACAMM) ke-11 di Hotel Nikko di sini, hari ini.
Turut serta Panglima Tentera Darat, Jeneral Datuk Zulkifeli Mohd. Zin serta sembilan lagi Panglima dan wakil Panglima Tentera Darat dari 10 negara ASEAN.
Sementara itu, Zulkifeli pada sidang akhbar selepas itu memberitahu isu-isu melibatkan bantuan kemanusiaan dan bencana serta pengukuhan kerjasama di rantau ini menjadi topik utama yang akan diperbincangkan dalam mesyuarat tersebut.
"Walaupun ia hanya melibatkan Panglima Tentera Darat, namun perbincangan ini bakal menyeluruh meliputi semua aspek.
"Ia seterusnya akan dibawa wakil negara terlibat kepada pemerintah negara masing-masing untuk dinilai dan dilaksanakan," katanya.
patutla ramai jeneral kat terendak... mesti dalam maxus2 (terserempak kat cheng) tadi sumer jeneral2 negara asean sbb MP iring derang | |

| NOTIS TIDAK HADIR TANPA CUTI SJN U THARMENDRAN
Unit Komunikasi Korporat Kementerian Pertahanan telah mengeluarkan kenyataan berikut: Pihak TUDM pada hari ini telah menyerahkan satu Notis kepada Peguambela Sjn U Tharmendran berkaitan dengan Ketidakhadiran Tanpa Cuti Sjn U Tharmendran dari perkhidmatan TUDM mulai 6 Sep 2010 iaitu tarikh beliau menjelaskan jaminan dan dibebaskan dari Penjara Sungai Buluh.
Penyerahan Notis ini adalah bertujuan untuk memaklumkan kepada pihak Peguambela bahawa Sjn U Tharmendran mengikut Rekod pihak TUDM adalah masih dalam perkhidmatan TUDM sehingga 28 Mei 2011.
Justeru, adalah menjadi kewajipan beliau untuk melapor kepada Pasukan beliau sebaik sahaja dibebaskan pada 6 Sep 2010 yang lalu untuk kembali bertugas. Kegagalan beliau membuat demikian merupakan satu kesalahan di bawah Akta Angkatan Tentera 1972. Proses yang dilaksanakan ini adalah merupakan proses biasa bagi kesalahan Tidak Hadir Tanpa Cuti.
Notis ini juga mengkehendaki Peguambela beliau supaya menyerahkan atau menasihati Sjn U Tharmendran untuk menyerahdiri kepada mana-mana Pasukan atau Unit ATM berdekatan dalam tempoh 7 hari. Kegagalan atau keengganan berbuat demikian merupakan satu kesalahan menyubahati tinggal tugas oleh askar, kelasi atau penerbang dan/atau kesalahan melindungi orang tinggal tugas, kedua-duanya merupakan kesalahan di bawah Kanun Keseksaan.
Walaubagaimanapun, Peguambela Sjn U Tharmendran enggan menerima Notis tersebut yang telah diserahkan kepadanya di Mahkamah Seksyen Shah Alam pagi tadi. Hakim Mahkamah turut menolak permohonan Sjn U Tharmendran untuk menyoalbalas dua pegawai TUDM yang dilaporkan menyeksanya (Sjn U Tharmendran) ketika beliau disoalsiasat.

| Mundaw catat sejarah Dayak pertama menjadi Brig. Jeneral01/11/2010 4:07pm SIBU 1 Nov. - Stephen Mundaw, 52, mencatat satu sejarah dalam ketenteraan Malaysia apabila menjadi orang Dayak pertama berpangkat Jeneral. Ia juga merupakan saat-saat manis buat Panglima Tentera Darat, Jeneral Datuk Zulkifeli Mohd. Zin yang menyematkan pangkat Brigadier Jeneral kepada Mundaw di Kem Rejimen Renjer Diraja keenam di Jalan Ulu Oya di sini hari ini. Zulkifeli berkata, Mundaw, yang berasal dari Sungai Melaban, Pakit di Bahagian Sri Aman, merupakan penuntut pertamanya dari Sekolah Latihan Tempur Tentera untuk mendapat pangkat itu. "Saya bangga kerana ia berlaku semasa saya menjadi panglima tentera,” katanya kepada pemberita. Kebiasaannya majlis ini diadakan di ibu pejabat tentera tetapi beliau memilih untuk diadakan di sini kerana kem ini merupakan tempat beliau ditukarkan buat pertama kali selepas mendapat pangkat leftenan muda dari Sekolah Latihan Pegawai Kadet Sebatang Karah di Port Dickson, katanya. - Bernama [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Brig.

| :: Production of K2 Tank to Start Soon :: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The production of the homegrown K2 Black Panther main battle tank will begin soon after a one-year delay due to a problem with the tank’s “power pack” transmission system, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said Monday. A set of field tests have shown that the domestically-built power pack, which is comprised of a 1,500-horsepower, 12-cylinder diesel engine and transmission, is now good to go, a DAPA official said. “We’ve been informed that all the minor glitches of the K2 power pack have been taken care of and now there are no problems,” the official said. “We’ll sign a production deal with manufacturers concerned as soon as possible.” The advanced battle tank will be operational for use by the Army by the end of next year at the earliest, he said. Originally, the production of some 390 K2 tanks was scheduled to begin early this year to replace the Army’s K1 tanks and its aging M48 Patton tanks. Unveiled in 2007, the K2, developed by the state-funded Agency for Defense Development and Hyundai Rotem, is a major defense product to fulfill domestic needs and sales overseas. The K2 technology was exported to Turkey years ago. The K2 carries a three-person crew supported by an auto-loading system, and a locally-developed 120-millimeter/55-caliber stabilized smoothbore gun. The fully-digitalized vehicle has an electric gun/turret driving system, automatic sensor input and power monitoring and control system. Its 1,500-horsepower engine can power the tank to 70 kilometers per hour on paved roads and 50 kilometers off-road. It can cross rivers as deep as 4.1 meters, a considerable improvement over the K1 and K1A1, and fire as soon as it resurfaces. (Korea Times) | |
