Leopard III/Leopard 2-140 (project)

How Ingalls and Kongsberg propose to equip the LCS in Freedom class.

Interesting! This was another concept I saw from Kongsberg. It makes the RCS of the LCS bigger but I guess it is the quick "bolt on" solution.

yeah many ways to do it.

Kongsberg and the Norwegian Navy have improved the NSM, so now it can also do precision attack against land targets (cruise missile capability), the range is also improved to 200km+ (it was 185km before)

some nice ...thing... from Germany:











Greetings from Norway:

SAR Helicopter in the hangar, on the Oil-rig Statfjord B.

(regulation in Norway says that an oil-rig operator, must be kapable to rescue a person up from the water, within 500 meters of the Oil-rig, rest shall be done by government controlled rescue team, but oil-rig operators in Norway, are sharing the cost of having two SAR helicopter out on the oil-rig (in an hangar) and one on land. And thus can provide from A to Z rescue. One of the reason for this, is because oil-rig operators in Norway want an helicopter to have an 150+- mile range with 20 persons onboard... when rescuing people.... the Government helicopters have only 59 mile range with 20 persons onboard.... and it is 110 miles to the closest oil-rig...)
