Improving an accurate navigation. Navigate safely with the Naval Tacan.

Day #12/50 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫 🐦✈️ 𝘚𝘦𝘢 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳 – 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯! The Sea Harrier redefined air combat and naval aviation with its V/STOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) capabilities. Aptly nicknamed the "Jump Jet," this fighter aircraft transformed operational strategies. Key Features: • 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: Powered by the Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan, it offered incredible thrust vectoring for both hover and forward flight. • 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲: Operated by the Indian Navy’s "White Tigers" and saw global success in missions like the Falklands War. • 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭: Its ski-jump-enabled takeoffs revolutionized carrier operations. A bird of prey in the skies, the Sea Harrier remains an engineering marvel, blending agility, versatility, and firepower. 🌍⚓

Integrated maritime power begins here. GA-ASI’s suite of leading UAS not only have proven their ability to connect naval forces and deliver critical real-time intel but they have redefined what’s possible. #MQ9B Learn more: https://ow.ly/S7eE50SqiTv

🇪🇬⚓️Egypt Launches Third ASD Tugboat "Ras Banas" at Alexandria Shipyard| The #Egyptian #Navy has launched the third and final #ASD tugboat, “Ras Banas,” with an 85-ton bollard pull, built entirely at Alexandria Shipyard. This event also marked the opening of the new northern gate of the Qazaq, designed for large #vessels. The initiative is part of Egypt’s strategy to enhance its #defense industries and naval capabilities, with plans to export these tugboats internationally. The shipyard collaborates with global manufacturers like Kongsberg and MTU for high-quality components, aiming to standardize these models across #Egyptian ports.

Today’s armed forces often only have moments in which to make decisions and quickly take the decisive steps that a mission requires. Thus, forces need an identification capability to identify whether aircraft, vessels or other platforms are friendly or not. This also counts for the maritime domain. Consequently, whether deployed at sea or in land-based training facilities, your forces need to interface with combat management systems with full IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) capability. With our Compact Naval IFF System (CNIS), HENSOLDT offers a fully certified and combat proven NATO Mode 5 IFF solution of small equipment footprint and cost-effective, ideally suited for small naval platforms, where space for essential mission equipment is at a premium. Centred on our MSSR 2000 ID interrogator and the LTR 400 D transponder, the CNIS offers straight forward platform integration via naval standard interfaces. If you want to learn more about our naval IFF technologies, visit us in Paris at EURONAVAL from 4-7 November.

🇺🇸 🌊 US Naval Air Forces Commander Vice Adm. Dan “Undra” Cheever confirmed that the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueler from Boeing will begin flying this year, ahead of its planned integration into aircraft carrier operations by 2026. Features: 👉 Fuel capacity: up to 15,000 pounds 👉 Operational range: 1,500 nautical miles 👉 Supports ISR missions

“The edition of Exercise Mare Aperto (MA24) which started today, constitutes the largest training event ever organized by the Italian Navy. There will be four intense weeks in which over 9,000 men and women will be confronted with a simulated crisis scenario which will progressively lead to a situation of open confrontation. The forces will be organized into opposing parties that will operate in all the different environments of the maritime domain, from the high seas, including the seabed, to the coastal and littoral areas. The other domains, air, land, space and cyber, will naturally also be intensely involved, in a fully multi-domain manner and with an approach that will be joint, inter-agency and inter-ministerial at the same time,” Admiral Aurelio De Carolis, Commander in Chief Naval Fleet.

https://lnkd.in/di2epMTh The Drone Threat and the Security Of the Red and Black Seas by Kit Perry  11 Jun 2024 Uncrewed Aerial Systems: (UAVs) and Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) challenge the ability of naval fleets to establish and maintain control in the Red and Black Seas narrow theatres. The essay looks at events in the Red and Black Seas to test its argument. These theatres capture the wider security-warfare continuum, and offer remarkable parallels in how Ukrainian forces are challenging the Russian Navy in the latter, and the Houthi forces are pressuring the multi-national naval task forces in the former. Both conflicts showcase the use of low cost, uncrewed systems to strike at naval fleets and disrupt maritime shipping; and both conflicts are set in narrow seas where one side commands a superior naval force, and the other, lacking a navy, employs an asymmetric force to limit their adversary’s use of the sea. There are, however, subtle but key differences between these two scenarios regarding how each side has implemented uncrewed technology, and lessons can be drawn from both.

Since they allow naval forces to utilize air power without relying on local bases, they usually serve as the capital ships of a fleet. The U.S., with 11 aircraft carriers in total, owns 40% of the global fleet. Some of the American carriers can carry around 80 fighters. The country’s total combined deck space is over twice that of all other nations combined. Along with France, the U.S. is the only nation with nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. These ships can remain at sea for as long as crew provisions last, without the need for refueling. In 2024, China’s newest, largest, and most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, started sea trials. With the addition of this ship, the country becomes second in our ranking. Of 11 countries that have aircraft carriers in their fleets, six are NATO members. https://flip.it/uH2p59
