DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Northrop Grumman Awarded Contract To Develop Navigation System For The U.S. Navy's Super Hornet And Growler Aircraft

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 21, 2012: Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) has been awarded a competitive prototyping contract by The Boeing Company to develop an embedded global positioning/inertial navigation system (EGI) for the U.S. Navy's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft.

Under the contract, Northrop Grumman will produce a prototype inertial navigation system demonstrating fiber-optic gyro performance suitability for F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) needs. JPALS is a next-generation aircraft landing system that will utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) data and replace radar-based systems.

DTN News - CHINA DEFENSE NEWS: Two Models of Chinese 5th-Gen Fighter In Works (PHOTOS)

DTN News - CHINA DEFENSE NEWS: Two Models of Chinese 5th-Gen Fighter In Works (PHOTOS)

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 19, 2012: The Chinese military has leaked first photos of a brand new lightweight fighter with external characteristics that allow the jet fifth-generation attribution. Some pictures suggest it could be used on future Chinese aircraft carriers.

Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group (SAC), one of the leading aircraft design and manufacturing corporations of China’s aviation industry, has rolled out a prototype that might eventually become Chinese analogue to America’s F-35.

The aircraft bears a certain resemblance to Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II, and even reportedly has the codename F-60. Though absolutely no characteristics of the prototype have been unveiled, one major difference is obvious: unlike its American relative, China’s F-60 has two engines.

The pictures of the Chinese technology demonstrator suggest that the engines the aircraft is currently equipped with do not have thrust vectoring nozzles which might suggest the prototype is at too early a stage of testing to get more sophisticated and powerful propulsion package.

Inclined twin vertical tail and wide-spaced ram air inlets are reminiscent of Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor Joint Strike Fighter.

A blurred photo from China Military Report website is the only proof that SAC’s F 60 aircraft has successfully been airborne.

DTN News - INDIA DEFENSE NEWS: FGFA – Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft Sukhoi T-50 Quantum Leap For Indian Aerospace

DTN News - INDIA DEFENSE NEWS: FGFA – Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft Sukhoi T-50 Quantum Leap For Indian Aerospace

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 19, 2012: Two significant developments have stirred up the world of military aviation this year. In March, the U.S. Air Force revealed it had started work to field a new Long Range Strike Bomber by the 2020s. This will be first new American strategic bomber to be built after the Cold War.

The signing of the Sukhoi T-50 fifth generation fighter aircraft contract propels India to joint developer of the world’s most advanced stealth aircraft.

How much the global balance of power has shifted since the Cold War days was clear when it was revealed that the aircraft the American bomber might encounter in the skies will have a large Indian signature – in more ways than one. 

In August, the Indian Air Force announced that India and Russia are getting set to ink the final R&D contract for the Sukhoi T-50 fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) by the end of the year or early-2013. The contract is worth more than US$ 11 billion, and according to the terms of the agreement both countries will share 50 percent of the costs.

DTN News - CHINA NEWS: China Seized By Second Day of Violent Anti-Japan Protests

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 16, 2012: Riot police fire tear gas at protesters outside the city headquarters of Communist Party of China during an anti-Japan protest in Shenzhen. More than 50 Chinese cities saw mass protests against Japan on Sunday, with police in the southern city of Shenzhen using tear gas and water cannons to dispel an angry mob.

The protests swept through China over the weekend, as large mobs demanded that Japan hand over control of a small island chain known as the Diaoyu in China and the Senkaku in Japan.

In Beijing, demonstrators pelted the Japanese embassy with eggs and rocks, in front of masses of paramilitary police.

In other cities, there were violent incidents, including the torching of a Panasonic factory and a Toyota dealership in Qingdao.
