One of Türkiye's pioneering defense tech companies on Tuesday unveiled the nation's first indigenous beyond-the-horizon submarine defense sonar system. The system is part of efforts to employ entirely domestic technology to further expand the navy's competence in underwater detection capabilities. The Low-Frequency Active Sonar System (DÜFAS), developed under the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) in line with the needs of the Naval Forces Command, enables the detection and location of threats such as submarines and torpedoes over long distances, ensuring critical underwater situational awareness. #TürkiyeTrade #GTF2024 #GlobalTradeForum #EUTradeRelations #EuropeEconomy #TradeDiplomacy #TradeAlliance #GlobalCommerce #CrossBorderTrade #EconomicPartnership #TradeTalks #TürkiyeExports #EUTradePolicy #TradeCollaboration #InternationalTrade #TradePartners #EconomicIntegration #EuropeanUnion #TradeOpportunities #GlobalEconomy

The author offers some thoughtful points. The MLR and its components were conceived, and intended, to meet the demands of light, mobile, raid forces. The Corps is limited more by mindset and habit of action then design for this type of employment. As for lessons from Ukrain… let’s not forget the reinforcement of the value of mass and multi axis, multi domain attacks … which in concert with maneuver and light infantry keep Ukraine in the fight. Keep modernizing. Keep training for innovative and adaptable employment of forces on focused objectives with limited resources for measure periods of time.

New Guidance for Amphibious Readiness The US Navy and United States Marine Corps have signed off on new guidelines to ensure the readiness of the amphibious ship fleet. The "Memorandum of Understanding on Amphibious Warfare Ship Terms of Reference" was created after a "deep dive" ordered by the service chiefs earlier this year. The new guidelines are designed to maintain amphibious readiness even after the current leadership retires. According to CNO Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Commandant Gen. Eric Smith, the document will "ensure consistency and uniformity in Navy and Marine Corps amphibious force planning, assessment, and operational mission execution." This move follows testimony from the service chiefs emphasizing their "locked shields" on the importance of amphibious ships - a shift from past disagreements. It also reflects the Navy Secretary's changed messaging, after previously implementing a "strategic pause" on certain amphibs. #Navy #MarineCorps #AmphiousShips #MilitaryReadiness #MilitaryModernization #AmphiobusOperations #NavalWarfare

The US Marines' China-fighting, island hopping Q Ship plan is in trouble The US Marine Corps has a new island-hopping strategy for a possible war with China. But the strategy requires a new ship – an easy-to-hide medium landing ship that’s cheap enough for the US Navy to buy quickly and in large numbers. But the Medium Landing Ship – or LSM in Navy parlance – is two years behind schedule, and costs are rising. The delays and increasing cost aren’t isolated problems – they’re endemic to the whole portfolio of Navy shipbuilding programs as the Pentagon grapples with serious labor issues https://lnkd.in/gSeweFnt

Very interesting insights for actual modern warfare.

The Navy and Marine Corps have unveiled new guidelines aimed at ensuring the perpetual readiness of their amphibious ships, marking a significant commitment to mission effectiveness beyond current leadership terms. The "Memorandum of Understanding on Amphibious Warfare Ship Terms of Reference" underscores a strategic shift towards sustained operational capability, bolstered by uniformity in planning, assessment, and execution across both services. This initiative, championed by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith, reflects a unified approach to enhancing readiness amidst evolving strategic challenges. Opportunities for industry abound in supporting the Navy and Marine Corps' enhanced readiness protocols for amphibious ships. CRG advises that key areas of focus include advanced maintenance technologies, logistics support systems, and interoperable communications solutions tailored to amphibious operations. CRG advises industry stakeholders to differentiate through innovative readiness solutions, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and agile development processes.

The M41 Saber System is a truly amazing piece of armaments technology.

🇧🇪🇳🇱⛴️ TERMA Group has signed a contract to supply new radars for the Belgian and Royal Netherlands Navy's anti-submarine warfare frigates. Terma will work closely with shipbuilder Damen Naval to integrate its SCANTER 6002 naval surveillance radars, which will give the ships multi-frequency scanning, X-band technologies, and small target detection algorithms. RH Marine will also join the integration phase to ensure the radars' peak performance. “These radars are not only best-in-class but also represent the culmination of Terma’s relentless dedication to innovation and excellence in maritime surveillance technology,” Terma naval sales director Martin Thomsen Jentsch shared. “We are confident that our partnership with Damen Naval and RH Marine will ensure the successful integration and deployment of these radar systems, ultimately enhancing the operational capabilities of the frigates and bolstering maritime security in the region.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #navy #naval #maritimedefense #maritimedefence #frigate #netherlands #belgium #radar
