Airbus Military Market Overview 2012
These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
In this presentation, Antonio Rodriguez Barberan, SVP Commercial, provided an overview. The core point is the extensive reach of the company due to the legacy products and the coming into service of the A330 tanker and the A400M.
There are approximately 6300 aircraft currently in service of an average age of 27 years. And the AM products represent 10% of the current global inventory.
Aircraft have been sold to 136 customers worldwide in 65 countries.
AM has a 47% market share of the light and medium transport and ISR market. It will have 33% of the heavy lifter market with the A400M and will have 78% of the global market for tankers, excluding the U.S.
Airbus Military Engineering Update: May 2012
These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
Miguel Angel Morell, SVP Head of Engineering, provided a look at the current engineering improvement efforts, which are the focus of attention in 2012.
The C-295 Airborne Early Warning and C2 aircraft which was announced last year prior to the Paris Air Show was a particular focus of attention in the briefing.
One of the more interesting discussions revolved around the use of rapid prototyping in the development of the product as well as re-shaping manufacturing processes.
Also of note was the evolution of the power plant in cooperation with Pratt and Whitney and the weapons testing on the aircraft in its maritime patrol role.
Another topic of interest was the development of an enhanced debriefing system for the A330 MRTT tanker, which allows better training and operational learning.
MSRC has expanded its simulation capacities by adding 3 Own Ship Bridges to its DNV Class A, 330° horizontal field of vision bridge.
The MSRC Tug Simulators are specifically designed to support high-fidelity training and detailed procedural rehearsal for the full range of tugging operations.
Airbus Military Product Update: May 2012
These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
In these slides, Gustavo Garcia Miranda, VP for Market Development, provided an update on the Airbus Military product offerings as of 2012.
The presentation focused on the broad product range offered by AM. And the presentation discussed how global customers are using the various aircraft on offer and supported world-wide.
The role of the CN-235 and 295 families was especially highlighted in the presentation.
One of the more interesting slides highlight how the A400M can replace several operational aircraft and provide significant fleet operational savings. 13 A400Ms can provide the functional equivalent of 29 previous generation tactical airlifters.
This leads as well to significant life cycle cost reductions.
And finally, the presentation focuses upon the flexibility of the A330 MRTT tanker.

How Airbus Military Products Impact the MilitaryICSA, LLC
During the Airbus Military Trade Media Briefing 2013, held on May 29th and 30th 2013, former Air Commander Ian Elliot, now head of Defence Capability Marketing, at Airbus Military provided some insights on how the A400M and A330MRTT can impact military operations in the future.
D-Day history reminds us that fast motor torpedo boats were the best defense for our invasion fleet. The article reviews extremely fast ocean racing craft now available that could counter Chinese and other inshore threats
The U.S. Navy's christens its huge $7bn stealth ship that looks like a fishing boat on radar
My recommendation
Ecuador need ships of good quality, with equipment of tactital operations and radars for the drougs embarcations located in the sea.
Need ships for the sea security, with good armament how the US Navy Army.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

569 troops or 6 x M113A3 Gavins or 21 x Wiesel 2 AFVs
www.corazon.com/747specsheet.html
The 747-400 can carry more than 57,000 gallons of fuel (215,745 L). This
makes it possible for the airplane to fly extremely long routes, such as
between San Francisco and Sydney. The 3,300 gallons (12,490 liters) of fuel
carried in a tank in the horizontal (tail) stabilizer can take the 747-400 an
extra 400 miles.
8,290 miles @ 500 mph OVER sea mines, submarines, naval blockades,
missiles = one-day direct-delivery to TSB
Energy cost: 57, 000 gallons of fuel, If jet fuel is $1 a gallon; $57,000 total
fuel cost
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/000802/luv.html
"The average price paid for jet fuel in 2000 was $.7995 per gallon compared to $.4192 in 1999, including the effects
of hedging activities."

Assuming the best bulk rate of $1 a gallon, is $24,000,000 for a one-way trip
from SFO to Australia
7. If allegedly “High Speed” Sealift
cannot offload because there is
no pierside port to offload non-
swimming vehicles, then its
speed becomes ZERO at
delivering combat power
ashore...
Stryker trucks can’t swim
8. The answer is to:
* Use Cargo 747s to fly TAFV sets
* Make vehicles swim: Amphigavins
to offload faster
* Use LCACs to get non-swimming
vehicles off existing sealift ships
faster
9. Army Pre-positioned Afloat (APA)
shipping over-water delivery to avoid
sea mines OPTION #1 LO/LO
70-ton crane
Pre-po ship
Each APA ship has its own
LCAC hovercraft on a stern
deployment “shelf”
Tanks/AFVs loaded by
cranes into LCACs
Army LCAC with AFVs flies over sea
mines via air-cushion to deliver ground
forces across-the-beach
10. A low cost option would be to switch a couple slow LCU-2000 landing craft for LCACs on the leased FLO-
FLO or put LCACs on T-AKR or T-ACS ships and berth the Navy crews there to operate LCACs from
RRDF barges alongside APS-3 sealift ships. A Float-on/Float-off Ship is a special ship which may be
submerged to allow cargo to be floated on or off, i.e. jack-up platforms and landing craft which may be
carried "piggy-back"-fashion on a flo-flo-ship like the MV AMERICAN CORMORANT (T-AK 2062)
www.msc.navy.mil/inventory/ships.asp?ship=americancormorant&type=FloFloShip
While a LCAC can fly over a 4 foot obstacle, its best to have a gradual ramp edge for it to land onto the
RRDF barges so the non-swimming vehicles can drive onto the LCAC. The CDI Corporation has done
pioneering work developing an Air Cushion Vehicle Landing Platform or ACV-LAP derived from RRDF
barges to get a LCAC interface. The Army has all the parts it needs to configure an ACV-LAP to operate
from the side RO/RO ramps for LCACs to speed M1/M2s and the other non-swimming ground vehicles
ashore at 40+ mph over the water on air cushions. M113A3 Amphigavins would speed themselves
ashore from the stern ramp by swimming or helicopter sling-loading. The Amphigavin and ACV-LAP
combination means Army APS-3 forces can offload anywhere in the world despite deep water port
availability or enemy anti-access strategems.
