OK so basically one small mistake during communication and we have a friendly fire incident!! There's a reason all modern radars have iff.

NATO jets still have friendly fire and mid air collision incidents all with their IFF today.

You went to bed happy last nite, happy with an outdated old news report.

You woke up this morining only to find out Nigerians have changed your breakfast menu to bread of affliction and tea of sorrow.

NAF flies about 100 aircraft in war zone today. Sorry you had to eat gravel and sand instead of cornflakes at 7am today
.

Where does it say NAF flies about 100 aircaft??


Last we hear it was 7... flying 2 sorties a day

Henry240:


-Gulma's to carry that load would need to increase their overall size. It won't be a challenge for NAF to arm them. The tech exists.



- for vessels, we have a wide array of companies that can deliver. It is in this area were i am most confident of our abilities to deliver.


- this is another area where we can comfortably deliver. Proforce Defence offers N.A a wide range of high quality platforms.

Proforce Leopard, Proforce Viper, the Igirigi could be configured to look like this (Pic).


The possibilities are looking limitless!

Our time has come

2016 budget provides a couple of millions of dollars for the new Nigerian domestic defence industry revolution committee of technocrats.

Russia is about to sign weapons manufacturing licenses for Nigerian domestic arms industry, don't be surprised if Nigeria starts local poduction of our variants of Russian ATGM, howitzer artillery, MANPAD SAMs, ZPU-14.5mm heavy machine guns, ZSU-23mm cannon, Shipunov 30mm cannon, etc.

I was expecting Nigerian army to do the new arms industry deal with China, but we have chosen Russia. Nigerian navy chose China and a big multinational firm from UAE for local ship building and refit capability expansion to first class world levels.

For the new APC assembly line, i'm looking at to see the type(s) of vehicles that would be rolled out. For me, i'm desperate to see the army patronise Proforce Defence. The police have been quite patriotic, some state governments also, but that company needs to receive a significant order to get other players in the region interested.



Remember @Obix did say a couple months back that Nigeria was looking to Russia for weapons plants, Sputnik only confirms what was already known. I'm waiting to see Nigeria's participation at AAD 2016, later on in the year in South-Africa. Surveillance technology also holds great promise, that's an area local companies have distinguished themselves. The systems the Navy deploys in Lagos and Calabar are just magnificent.



Yeah....... I was surprised the Army didn't go the China route. The Chinese have been loyal and dependable. Prinevest, the company the navy partners with is a large company. The Navy did say they were going to build additional IPVs in collaboration with the company.


* That other vessel the Navy is currently building remains a mystery. "Could it be NNS Andoni II ?"......... I don't think so, it looks larger than 40 meters.

Airspace management of remote area desert land forward airbase near borders closer to war zone than normal NAF airbases. Thats why we or any other country will be using vehicle mobile radars. That base can be moved around and shifted anytime, its a complement to fixed permanent airbases that have superior radars with 500km range.

Dude, IFF is a small box and simple buy, plug in, and play hardware that we can fix on those 36D Tin Shield rsdars in one day !

NAF just used its own air force engineers to completely reconfigure two demilitarized Alpha jets into fully weaponized combat aircraft, so what does it take to buy and plug in a simple IFF box on a radar if we need to?

THE BEST MILITARY IN AFRICA DISCUSSION SHOULD BE ABOUT INVENTION, DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, TRAINING CAPABILIES (NOT FOREIGN ASSISTANCE), MAINTENANCE, STANDARDS OF MILITARY ATTIQUET, BASES, MORAL AND CODE OF CONDUCT.

Discussion should be what you have not what you wish.

TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH
A South African research center—the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)—was the driving force behind the world’s lithium batteries, from those in your laptop to cell phones and the Chevy Volt, in addition to the time machine now used by the world’s leading road engineers.

And the SABLE Accelerator understands that South Africa’s CSIR, a government- and private sector-funded research and innovation hub, has just made a major global breakthrough in laser technology, which could help shape the future as fundamentally as the “tube” behind television.

This technology was developed by the CSIR's National Laser Centre and is the world's first digital laser, which allows the laser beam to be manipulated into multiple shapes, whereas traditional lasers appear only as a small point. While it is still being refined, this multifunctional technology will ultimately simplify numerous applications and will have implications across a number of industries. Watch the video below to learn more.

World’s first digital laser
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) announced the development of the world’s first digital laser.

The innovation is expected to spur numerous applications to improve the communication and health sectors, said Professor Andrew Forbes of the CSIR National Laser Centre.

The experimental work in the laser project was done by doctoral candidate and CSIR researcher Sandile Nqcobo.

“This groundbreaking development is further evidence of the great potential we have in scientific innovation. That the world’s first digital laser should come from our country is testimony to the calibre of scientists that South Africa has,” said former minister of science and technology, Derek Hanekom.

South African inventions

Where would you expect to find the inventor of the CAT scan, the makers of the "speed gun" used in cricket ovals the world over, or the world's first oil-from-coal refinery?

For some of the material in this article, our thanks to Mike Bruton, 'Great South African Inventions' (Cambridge University Press, Indigenous Knowledge Library series, ISBN 978 0 521 74663 2)

There's a wide range of innovative and entrepreneurial activity in South Africa, backed up by a number of organisations (see box down right) that provide support for budding inventors and innovators. Some of the world firsts South Africa can lay claim to are the following:

CAT scan

The computed axial tomography scan, or CAT scan, was developed at Tufts University in the UK by South African physicist Allan Cormack and Godfrey Hounsfield of EMI Laboratories. Their achievement secured them the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Cormack's interest in the problem of X-ray imaging of soft tissues or layers of tissue of differing densities was first aroused when he took up the part-time position of physicist for a hospital radiology department.

The two-dimensional representations of conventional X-ray plates were often unable to distinguish between such tissues. More information could be gained if X-rays of the body were taken from several different directions, but conventional X-ray techniques made this procedure problematic.

In the early 1960s, Cormack showed how details of a flat section of soft tissues could be calculated from measurements of the attenuation of X-rays passing through it from many different angles.

He thus provided the mathematical technique for the CAT scan, in which an X-ray source and electronic detectors are rotated about the body and the resulting data is analysed by a computer to produce a sharp map of the tissues within a cross-section of the body.

Oil from coal

Sasol is the world's first - and largest - oil-from-coal refinery. It is situated in Sasolburg in South Africa and provides 40% of the country's fuel.

The history of Sasol began in 1927 when a White Paper was tabled in Parliament to investigate the establishment of a South African oil-from-coal industry.

It was realised then that, because South Africa did not have crude oil reserves, the country's balance of payments had to be protected against increasing crude oil imports. After many years of research and international negotiations, the South African Coal Oil and Gas Corporation was formed in 1950.

Major milestones include the first automotive fuel (1955), the construction of the National Petroleum Refiners of South Africa (1967) and the establishment in 1990 of its first international marketing company, Sasol Chemicals Europe.

Sasol has developed world-leading technology for the conversion of low-grade coal into value-added synfuels and chemicals.

Heart transplant

The world's first heart transplant was performed by Dr Chris Barnard in Cape Town on 3 December 1967.

Barnard was born in the town of Beaufort West in 1922. The seeds of his future career were sown when one of his patients delivered a baby boy with a heart defect which could not be remedied. The baby died, causing him to think deeply about the need for remedial surgery and the replacement of heart valves.

A turning point came when Barnard was offered a chance to work in Minneapolis in the US under Professor Wagensteen, a great teacher of experimental surgery. The heart-lung machine was perfected, and this turned out to be the gateway to cardiac surgery.

The idea of transplanting occurred to Barnard. If it was possible with kidneys, why not the heart? After more years of study in the US, he returned to South Africa with a parting gift from Prof Wagensteen – a heart-lung machine.

Groote Schuur hospital was waiting his return in 1958 to start the first heart unit to perform a cardiac bypass operation.

After performing the first successful kidney transplant on Edith Black, in October 1967 Barnard informed Professor Val Schrire, who had built up the cardiac clinic: "Everything is ready for a heart transplant. We have the team and we know how to do it."

In November 1967, Schrire called Barnard and told him that there was a suitable patient for a heart transplant. Louis Washkansky was suffering from heart failure and was prepared to take the chance. The rest is history.

Barnard passed away in Cyprus, Greece on 2 September 2001 from an acute asthma attack.

Speed gun

The South African-made speed gun, developed by Somerset West inventor Henri Johnson, was formally launched at The Oval in England during the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

In 1992 Johnson invented the Speedball which was manufactured by South African firm Electronic Development House. The device accurately measures the speed and angles of speeding objects such as cricket and tennis balls.

Generally referred to as a "speed gun", Johnson's gizmo is sold in cricketing countries and in the US and Europe.

Kreepy Krauly

The swimming pool vacuum cleaner was invented by Ferdinand Chauvier, a hydraulics engineer who came to South Africa from the Belgian Congo in 1951.

Chauvier quickly realised that there was a huge market for taking the hassle out of cleaning swimming pools, and went about inventing a machine that would do the job automatically, efficiently powered by the ordinary operation of the pool's filter.

But it wasn't until 1974 that the first Kreepy Krauly was born in Chauvier's Springs home.

He died in 1985, but Kreepy Kraulys continue to keep thousands of pools clean in South Africa and the world over.

Pratley Putty

Pratley's famous glue is the only South African invention that has been to the moon. In 1969 the putty was used to hold bits of the Apollo XI mission's Eagle landing craft together.

Krugersdorp engineer George Pratley invented his famous sticky stuff in the 1960s while looking for a glue that would hold components in an electrical box.

Pratley died in 1983 and today the company is run by his son, Kim. Hundreds of tons of Pratley putty have been exported all over the world, and the company has diversified into other products.

Dolosse

Dolosse are large, unusually shaped concrete blocks weighing up to 20 tons. The structures are designed to break up wave action and protect harbour walls and coastal installations.

Designed by Eric Merrifield and first installed in East London harbour, they are now used all over the world.

The Coega Project, comprising an industrial development complex and deepwater port 20 kilometres east of the city of Port Elizabeth, made history with the casting of the biggest dolosse on the African continent: 26 500 30-ton dolosse are used on the two breakwaters for the deep-water harbour of Ngqura.

CONTRIBUTION BY SOUTH AFRICA TO THE WORLD

South Africa is lagging far behind the developed world when it comes to broadband services and general access to technology. This has a direct impact on technology innovations in the country, but despite this South Africans have produced some of the world’s greatest inventions.

The country which has given the world icons such as Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Chris Barnard, Gary Player, Charlize Theron, and Lucas Radebe (and of course Naas Botha, and Riaan Cruywagen) has also provided the world with many technology innovations.

South African born Mark Shuttleworth (Thawte and Canonical), and Elon Musk (Paypal and Tesla motors) are well known for both their technology innovations and their space explorations. Musk’s SpaceX recently became the first privately developed and owned spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station.

Shuttleworth and Musk are well known international tech celebrities, but there are many other inventions which came from South Africa which are used globally. Here are some of the lesser known inventions.


http://mybroadband.co.za/news/general/54485-cool-things-invented-in-south-africa.html

South Africa has reached new heights in aircraft technology.

Airbus Military has officially delivered its first A400M - with critical components manufactured by South Africans, on South African soil.

The first model was delivered to the French Air Force on Monday, just eight years after local companies were asked to help put it together.

Denel Aerostructures manufactured the fuselage top-shells and the wing-fuselage fairings.

They are the biggest aircraft structures ever made in the country.

Centurion-based Aerosud manufactured the cockpit and cabin linings, while Cape Town-based Cobham SA supplied the satellite communications antennae.

The 70-ton plane would revolutionise military operations around the world

http://www.enca.com/south-africa-life/sa-soars-aircraft-technology

Claimed to be Africa’s first home-grown military aircraft, the Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft (AHRLAC), is designed to integrate a range of military and civilian support technologies in one multi-role package. Aimed at performing duties similar to both attack helicopters and reconnaissance planes, the AHRLAC is designed to carry surveillance equipment, weapons, radar and electronic warfare systems.
