It's a little confusing when the datasheet is shown states the latest long-range radar installed https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/03/thales-completes-hms-dauntless-s1850m-long-range-radar-overhaul/ if maintenance was just replacement of parts becoming obsolete etc. that should been stated ,...

The article states with the attachments just over 50 centimetres than the Boxer well over a metre higher than the M1A1 tank,I don't have any information about the docking margins of the Canberra class in regard to margins of height

This article suggests the Hanwha Redback has an overall height of 3.82 metres I was wondering since this is considerably more than that of the m1a1 tank that can be deployed off the Canberra class ships will this height be an impediment,I have no knowledge if the trials between the Redback and Lynx ...

Is there any argument for the N.Z Anzac class to fitted with a towed asw array
https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news ... s-frigates

Would it be a stretch of the hope to suggest the type 83 if based on the type 26 hull may have similar abilities and capabilities to Canadas future frigate which also has a towed array and spy-7 radar and everything else they could fit , after all if the Canadians have gone to the expense of upgradi...

Research into nuclear weapons was stopped several decades ago and there are conflicting stories why, I won't go into details of some of the research I became aware of but it was serious.

Is there any information on the aims of the upgrade to the type 45,s radar regarding capability?

Thales Completes HMS Dauntless S1850M Long Range Radar Overhaul The Royal Navy HMS Dauntless Type 45 destroyer's S1850M Long Range Radar has been officially completely revised since last week. The overhaul was part of the ship's "Upkeep 2020" program and included a digital "factory a...

Now imagine if someone flew a drone and camera through the hangar bay for a lap before leaving lol

I have read that the U.S.A.F plans for new secure data links between the f35 and the f-15ex could be interesting for carrier operations
https://warontherocks.com/2019/06/f-15e ... er-debate/

This article provides some of the reasoning behind the purchase of the fighter it's worth noting its about 7 thousand dollars an hour cheaper to fly than the F35 ,if the U.S.A.F tht originally wanted to keep to a fifth-generation force adopted this aircraft it could still order many whilst still hav...

This is going off thread but https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/russia-s-su-35-vs-america-s-f-15x-air-war-in-the-4-generation this article suggests the SU-35 has a radar cross-section one third of the f-15ex which cancelled work to reduce its radar cross section https://militarywatchmagazine....

This article suggests that survivability was not important for the f-15ex and would not fare well against peer forces https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/f-35-stealth-fighter-vs-f-15ex-why-f-35-has-one-big-advantage-179792 I can understand the argument for a longer range patrol aircraft being che...

It could be well to remember that the main role of the f35 in piercing air defences has not been shown to be able to be performed by fourth-generation aircraft, having just a token amount deployed to the navy when if situations develop means they are needed elsewhere in the land theatre suggests tha...

With the discussion around the ability to launch U.A.Vs of a meaningful size for instance the MQ-25 for the U.S.N would carry 15,000 pounds of fuel for extending the range of aircraft ,is it worth considering a new build of ship for the launch of U.A.V,s that could support carrier operations and eve...

Can a catobar system for u.a.v,s be instead sited to launch off the rear of the ship instead of the bow ?

It is interesting to consider how a submarine that has a deep diving vessel that can potentially drop in on many of the sensitive undersea cables is countered , if the submarines of the current U.S and R.N cant achieve those depths do they also mount deep diving vessels to protect such cables

It would be of interest to know if there is a commitment to a realistic stockpile of missiles for all scenarios, or even on what are the guidelines for ships to carry a full missile loadout, and serious conflict with a peer may be on the likelihood of how long a supply of munitions may last and be p...

The radar sensor ranges would certainly be speculative

I have included this article here as the U.S.N has funded this controversial project , I'm not sure if some of those involved are genius or charlatan but its interesting reading and may even show some desperation to be involved in this because the "Chinese" are also looking at doing it lol...

This article suggests it will be armed and not just electronic warfare
https://www.defensenews.com/global/euro ... bat-drone/

Perhaps this type of vessel and its capabilities have not been resourced considering the amount of ocean mass under Australias responsibility certainly China is using similar vessels in connection with their submarines https://www.navy.gov.au/fleet/ships-boats-craft/ags

There are a few choices but would also the Hobart class destroyer also be suitable for these new missiles from its V.L.S

Confirmation today on new missiles coming for the R.A.N

Before then it would still be cheaper to provide the major upgrades to her that would increase the capacity and capability of this ship than a new build
