Inicia su ciclo operativo el Boxer australiano

Boxeadores listos para pelear

En un hito importante para las Fuerzas de Defensa de Australia, el vehículo de reconocimiento de combate Boxer ha alcanzado la capacidad operativa inicial según lo programado en el Proyecto Land 400 Fase 2.

El Jefe del Ejército, el Teniente General Simon Stuart, dijo que el Boxer fue probado durante el Ejercicio Sea Raider y ahora está empleado en la Séptima Brigada del Ejército Australiano.

“El ejercicio Sea Raider demostró el importante impulso de capacidad proporcionado por el Boxer y su lugar como parte de la fuerza terrestre y las operaciones conjuntas”, dijo el teniente general Stuart.

“El Boxer protegerá a nuestros soldados en entornos de alta amenaza mientras buscan información sobre un adversario. Esta información ayudará a dirigir nuestro sistema de combate de armas combinadas para lograr la mejor eficacia en el combate.

“El Boxer puede salir de los problemas usando su cañón de 30 mm y, como acabamos de ver durante el ejercicio Sea Raider, puede desplegarse desde barcos anfibios.

“El Boxer mejora nuestra capacidad para tener éxito en las operaciones y sobrevivir en la batalla”, dijo el teniente general Stuart.

El Boxer se entrega desde las fábricas de Rheinmetall en Redbank, Queensland y Alemania, con el apoyo de muchas empresas australianas.

“Australia tiene la reputación de construir vehículos militares de alta calidad. El Boxer se basará en esta experiencia industrial nacional establecida.

“Este proyecto es un gran ejemplo de la forma en que la defensa y la industria trabajan juntas para ofrecer capacidades complejas y a gran escala”, dijo el teniente general Stuart.

La industria australiana seguirá beneficiándose del proyecto Boxer de miles de millones de dólares. Los 420 empleados australianos de Rheinmetall construirán cinco variantes diferentes del vehículo, con un total de 211 programados para construirse para 2027. Rheinmetall también continuará entregando actualizaciones y realizando reparaciones en las instalaciones de Redbank.

“Esta combinación de variantes y la capacidad de actualizarlas aquí en Australia hace que el Boxer sea un vehículo increíblemente adaptable que necesita nuestro ejército moderno”, dijo el teniente general Stuart.

ADF May Use Collins Class Submarines until 2050

Australia's ageing Collins Class submarines could be kept in the water for another 30 years as Defence works to acquire a new fleet of nuclear-powered boats.

A senate committee has examined last month's shock decision to dump a $90 billion contract with France in favour of building submarines using British and American technology.

Chief of the Navy, Vice Admiral Mike Noonan, said it was possible Australia's existing conventionally powered submarines could receive another round of upgrades.

Asked by Labor senator Kimberley Kitching whether this meant the Collins Class boats would still be in the water in 2040 or 2050, Vice Admiral Noonan said: "Yes Senator, potentially."

The federal government has previously confirmed all six Collins Class boats will undergo a life-of-type extension, giving the fleet an extra 10 years of service.

Plans for a possible second rebuild of the submarine fleet has not been previously disclosed by Defence.

The Chief of the Navy has also confirmed US and British nuclear-propelled submarines might be based in Australia in the coming decades while Defence develops an understanding of the technology.

Australia's nuclear regulator has confirmed changes to legislation and other concerns will need to be addressed before nuclear-powered submarines can be operated by the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The CEO of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, Carl-Magnus Larsson, told the committee it was too early to know what precise action would need to be taken.

"I think that there are clarifications that are needed with regard, for instance, definitions, for instance nuclear powered propulsion, and there are a number of other matters that need to be looked at."

F-35A australiano alcanza estado operativo inicial

Australian F-35A Lightning II Achieves Initial Operational Capability, Cleared to Deploy for Operations

Australia’s F-35A Lightning II fleet can now be deployed on operations, with Initial Operational Capability being officially achieved today.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the F-35s are the most advanced, multi-role stealth fighter in the world.

“The fifth-generation F-35A, along with the F/A-18F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, is key to our air combat capability and critical to achieving the objectives set out in the 2020 Defence Strategic Update to Shape, Deter and Respond,” Minister Reynolds said.

“For the last two years, Defence has rigorously tested the F-35A fleet to assess aircraft and system performance, and declare this important milestone.

“I would like to thank everyone that has worked so hard to get us to this point; to have accomplished all the required testing and materiel delivery is remarkable.

“The Australian Defence Force now has an F-35A squadron ready to conduct technologically advanced strike and air combat roles, and another squadron dedicated to providing world-class training here in Australia.

“While 2020 presented significant challenges to all of us, and travel restrictions made it difficult to ferry our aircraft to Australia, the huge efforts of Defence, industry and our partners in the United States made today’s achievement possible.”

Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price said cooperation with industry had set Defence up for long-term success.

“Our defence industry has played a critical role in achieving today’s milestone, which continues the success story of Australia’s involvement in the F-35 global program,” Minister Price said.

“Just last month we announced that more than 50 Australian companies have shared in $2.7 billion in contracts, demonstrating the Morrison Government’s commitment to backing Australian industry and supporting Australian jobs.

“Australia will continue to work with the United States F-35 Joint Program Office and our industry partners as more aircraft are delivered through to 2023, and a mature capability is achieved.”

The Australian Defence Force’s third Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD), NUSHIP Sydney, is on track to be delivered to the Navy in February 2020 after completing sea trials.

Sydney is the third and final ship being delivered by the Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance which includes the Department of Defence, Raytheon Australia, and ASC Shipbuilding supported by Navantia Australia.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the success of Sydney’s sea trials represents a significant step towards its delivery.

“Today’s milestone is another example of the Liberal and National Government’s successful initiative to reform the AWD program, setting the scene for the Naval Shipbuilding Plan,” Minister Reynolds said.



“Sydney will enter into service early next year, and with her sister-ships HMA Ships Hobart and Brisbane, they will be the most potent warships to date.

“By using a combination of Australian and globally proven technologies, these highly capable warships are truly world-class and will allow us to work even closer with our allies.”

Following Sydney’s sea trials, final production work including the integration of the MH60-R helicopter, will be completed ahead of the ship's provisional acceptance into service in February 2020.

Navy's largest warships achieve new milestone

The Royal Australian Navy now has one of the most capable and sophisticated amphibious deployment systems in the world, with the Fleet’s Landing Helicopter Docks achieving final operational capability.

At 230-metres long and with a speed of more than 20 knots, the 27,500 tonne ships are home-ported at Garden Island, Sydney.

Each ship has the ability to support six helicopters, and four small landing craft which areable to carry Army’s M1A1 main battle tank.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said HMA Ships Adelaide and Canberra are ready to be deployed on amphibious operations such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and amphibious warfare.




“The Australian Defence Force’s amphibious capability is an integral part of Australia’s strategic posture and this milestone is another step in Navy’s roadmap to delivering amphibious excellence,” Minister Reynolds said.

Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Michael Noonan AO, RAN, said Navy is closer to achieving a resilient, sustained and integrated Navy supported by our workforce, as outlined in the Plan Pelorus strategy for 2022.

“As we transition to a more technologically advanced Navy, our goal is to be capable of conducting sustained combat operations as part of a Joint Force,” Vice Admiral Noonan said.
