BAE, GD Team On Navy System To Defeat Sophisticated Maritime Threat
Hudson NH (SPX) Oct 28, 2008 BAE Systems has teamed with General Dynamics to compete for the U.S. Navy's upcoming Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 2 upgrade effort. The next-generation electronic warfare system, called Sea Lightning, is designed to defeat increasingly sophisticated maritime threats by intercepting and classifying threat radars, particularly those on anti-ship cruise missiles. Sea Lightning also will integrate EW capabilities into the Navy's combat direction and management systems. "Sea Lightning will fulfill Block 2 requirements and future spiral developments in electronic attack, electro-optical, and infrared technology," said Greg Smith, vice president of information dominance systems for BAE Systems. "Our combined technological knowhow and capabilities are aligned with the Navy's vision and need for a system that can combat the latest enemy threats."

Russia May Revive Yemeni Naval Base
Washington (UPI) Oct 21, 2008 After sending naval combat squadrons to Syria and Venezuela, Russia is now moving to revive its Cold War, Soviet-era naval presence in Yemen. Sergei Mironov, speaker of the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian Parliament, said Yemen and its main port of Aden could become a center for the Russian navy to fulfill "strategic goals" in the coming years. Mironov made his comments during a visit to the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, last Thursday. |
