TT-1 Pinto Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Serbatoi supplementari e ali più lunghe per il Reaper .... Air Force Buys External Fuel Tanks for Reaper .... The Air Force awarded General Atomics Aeronautical Systems a contract to supply external fuel tanks for the MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft. These tanks are part of the Reaper extended-range configuration that the company is offering. The undefinitized contract action has a total potential value of $26.2 million, according to the description in the Pentagon's list of major contracts on Aug. 12. (*) Company spokeswoman Kimberly Kasitz confirmed to the Daily Report that the contract deals with the fuel tanks. Work under the new contract is scheduled for completion by August 2015, according to the description. In April 2012, the company announced the extended-range configuration, which in addition to the fuel tanks, features the second option of replacing the Reaper's current 66-foot-long wings with 88-foot-long wings. The fuel tanks enable the MQ-9 to fly nearly 10 hours longer, increasing endurance from 27 hours to about 37 hours. The new wings would extend the airplane's endurance even more, according to the company. See also Taking Reaper Farther. 8/15/2013 (*) ....

Flaggy Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) L'USAF programma il completo ritiro per il 2018 dei rimanenti 145 Predator (su 360 costuiti in una ventina d'anni). Gli MQ-1 lasceranno quindi campo libero (e le stazioni di terra) ai più capaci RQ-9 Reaper. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/usaf-plans-to-end-mq-1-predator-operations-in-2018-415742/ Oggi dovrebbero essere in servizio più di un centinaio di Reaper e, dopo i 38 iniziali, l'USAF intende modificarne un numero sempre maggiore con serbatoi addizionali per incrementare l'autonomia, ma ne devono essere costruiti di nuovi ancora parecchi considerando che si punta a oltre 300 pezzi (gli ultimi ordinati dovrebbero essere i 24 di un contratto da 279 milioni reso noto a febbraio. http://www.janes.com/article/46791/usaf-seeks-additional-extended-range-conversions-for-reaper-uavs http://timesofsandiego.com/business/2015/02/12/general-atomics-wins-279m-contract-build-24-reaper-drones/ Comunque la configurazione ER pare un leggermente diversa da quanto anticipato 2 anni fa, con delle winglet molto più grandi. http://www.uasvision.com/2014/07/21/predator-b-er-conducts-first-long-range-endurance-flight/ I valori di autonomia attuali e futuri sono un po' ballerini a seconda delle fonti, ma credo sia corretto dire che l'aereo con armamento subalare abbia un'autonomia di una ventina di ore, che diventano 27 in missioni di ricognizione senza carichi esterni. Il Kit per incrementare l'autonomia prevede invece due serbatoi subalari non sganciabili, che consentirebbero di passare dalle precedenti 27 a 33-35 ore di autonomia, con la possibilità di superare le 40 in caso di montaggio delle estensioni alari dotate di winglet (ma questa sembra solo un'opzione). Per far fronte all'inevitabile incremento di peso, si introduce poi un carrello irrobustito e un dispositivo di iniezione di una miscela di acqua e alcol per aumentare la potenza al decollo.

Italy may become the first country to benefit from a recently-relaxed US government unmanned air vehicle export restriction, as it receives authorisation for a potential deal to arm its air force's fleet of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-9 Reapers.

zander Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 La Francia ha annunciato che armerà i suoi droni Reaper.I 6 drone Reaper MQ-9 Block che saranno ricevuti nel 2019 potrebbero essere armati con missili Hellfire e bombe Safran AASM se gli USA daranno l'OK, visto che la domanda non è stata ancora fatta ufficialmente.In Europa, il Regno Unito dispone di 10 Reaper armati, l'Italia armerà i suoi nuovi Predator e i 6 Reaper americani mentre la Germania ha annunciato l'intenzione di affittare dei droni armati da Israele a partire dal 2018.Attualmente sono operativi con le forze aeree francesi 6 droni sui 12 ordinati. Questi sistemi sono in servizio con lo squadrone 1/33 Belfort, basato a Cognac, ma sono attualmente dispiegati in Niger per il supporto all'operazione Barkhane ed hanno accumulato più di 16.000 ore di volo. Più precisamente 5 Reaper sono basati a Niamey per le operazioni di sorveglianza dei jihadisti nel Sahel e uno a Cognac – tutti in versione non armata. http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/213854/article/2017-09-06/la-france-va-se-doter-de-drones-armes http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/pourquoi-la-france-va-armer-ses-drones-de-renseignement-et-de-surveillance-749149.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaggy Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Posto qui, perché al momento non ha manco un nome, ma solo un compito: rimpiazzare il Reaper il cui programma di acquisizione verrà terminato in anticipo dall’USAF. I soliti droni a lunga autonomia non bastano più.

Scagnetti Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 (edited) Su Repubblica, il presunto analista militare Di Feo, ha sollevato torbidi per quella che è una Foreign Military Sale che evidentemente ignora cosa sia. Questo il link all'articolo di disinformatia: https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2024/08/16/news/droni_attacco_vendita_usa_italia_contratto_inesistente-423449388/?ref=RHLF-BG-P5-S1-T1 Questo il link alla notizia reale, si sottolinea, per chiarirci le idee, che l'approvazione per la FMS è "possible ", ossia preliminare - ulteriori accordi seguiranno (se va tutto bene, o male per Di Feo, ma il più è fatto): https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/italy-mq-9-block-5-aircraft Cita The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Italy of MQ-9 Block 5 Aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $738 million Edited August 16 by Scagnetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
