[quote author=agaugust]. ............[size=14pt]Nigeria develops unmanned coastal capability[/size]...................................... Jane's Defence Weekly (27 April, 2008) Nigeria is developing a national coastal defence alignment based mainly on unmanned platforms. Under a USD260 million contract signed in March, Israeli Aeronautics Defense Systems will design and build the naval array, providing manned and unmanned naval and aerial systems, coastal radars and command-and-control centers. This structure will cover all of Nigeria's 853 km coastline and will be designed to protect its territorial waters and the offshore oil platforms in the Niger River delta.To manage the project, the Nigerian government has established a special office that will be linked to the Nigerian Navy, Coast Guard and Ministry of Transportation. The array will be based on Aeronautics' Aerostar tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the Seastar unmanned surface vehicle (USV). Three Aerostar systems will be provided, each including 3 to 6 platforms, and 3 Seastar systems, including several USVs. Both systems are controlled through Aeronautics' Unmanned Multi-Application System terminal and software, which provide air vehicle and payload control and enable the integration of different sensors. The Aerostar, with 14 hours operational endurance, is equipped with Controp's Dual-Sensor Stabilized Payload DSP-1, providing day/night surveillance coverage. The 11 m-long Seastar USV provides a mission range of 350 nautical miles and can carry payloads up to 2,500 kg. It could be equipped with day/night sensors, electronic surveillance measures, electronic intelligence/communications sensors, sonar and a stabilized gun system. Together they will comprise an unmanned formation of maritime surveillance and response The alignment will be complemented with two manned maritime patrol aircraft, equipped with an Inverted Synthetic Aperture Radar. Under the terms of the contract, 10 naval radar stations will be built along the coastline. Aeronautics will set up two command-and-control centres at the Nigerian Navy's Western Command in Apapa, Lagos, and at the Eastern Command in Calabar. A national command-and-control centre will be established at navy headquarters in Ojo, Lagos. All centers will receive real-time surveillance information from the various platforms and could control the unmanned missions. In addition to the new surveillance alignment, the Nigerian Navy will establish three forward operating bases in the delta region and has procured six Defender-class fast response boats from SAFE Boats International. For Aeronautics, the new contract marks substantial growth. " :thumb: It is one of the largest projects in the world in the area of unmanned systems," a spokesperson for Aeronautics told Jane's. "The contract grants the company an unshakable status as a global leader in this area." Located in Yavne, Israel, privately-owned Aeronautics is competing against Israel's two leading UAV developers: Israel Aircraft Industries and Elbit Systems. With Aerostar sales to eight countries, among them the US, Greece, Angolaand Georgia, and with its Orbiter mini-UAV sold to three international customers, the company appears to be taking a considerable share of the growing international UAV market. NOW DELIVERED... THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE *ATR-42MP SURVEYOR MARITIME RECCE AND RADAR PLANES...will cover the entirety of Nigeria's EEZ and our Gulf of Guinea maritime frontiers from any point along our coastline *UNMANNED SEA AND AIR PILOTLESS VEHICLES * RADAR STATIONS...NEARING COMPLETION. Intended to span the entire length of the 853km coastline of Nigeria Seastar USV SeaStar presents a revolution in maritime operations, featuring unmanned capabilities for the entire array of Home-Land Security and Naval applications. The SeaStar USV system is an unmanned, remote-controlled vessel capable of carrying out a wide range of naval or maritime missions. SeaStar is equipped with a full array of sensors required for remote operation and any of a variety of mission specific payloads. SeaStar open-architecture system design, controlled by Aeronautics’ unique and proved UMAS™ Multi-application Command & Control system, which enables: 1. Integration of the- SeaStar into any C4I network 2. Command & Control of the- SeaStar from any maritime, aerial and ground vehicle or station. 3. “Plug & Play” integration of any kind of payload or weapon system. 4. SeaStar is a versatile platform for various applications. SeaStar Technical Specifications: Total Length 11 meters Total Width 3.5 meters Platform Weight 6000 Kg Cruising Velocity 45 Kts Marine Deisel . . . . . . . -- You will never see any of this in nigerian defense inventory! Thats y even some Nigerians thing that the armed forces fight with toys. |
sheyie2007: Yay! The longest thread in politics section. thanks to syndergp and mzauza refusal to back downwrong bro, we still got a long way to go! There is another military topic https://www.nairaland.com/paddy_lo/posts/80 seems its only concentrated on naija! |
News from defense review by brig.GENERAL ibrahim Atahiru said nigeria just received 35 desert terrain vehicles and is currently undergoing pre-combat modification before being sent to Mali, Atahiru also said the have place others for 40 MRAPS for mali mission, bt i dont knw the exact specification . . . .!! Any body has any Idea? |
i strongly believe that if we work together,mobilize african Netizens we can instigate change, with the way the west have made us look in the eyes of the world ! If we could pull the right strings, send emails to right people, start online anti-racist campaign we can make a change and send a strong message to those western psychopaths! I suggest we create a tread and send it to front page to begin |
Henry120: Besides with all the billionaires we have on this continent we do not even have a single news channel with reach of aljazeera or cnn to project highlight the achievements of this continent and sway people's views about africa in general. When you get into african homes, you'd see peeps watching CNN, BBC, france24, msnbc, foxnews newly aljazeera and CCTV news.worst case scenario, whenever the CNN and BBC RACIST our doing a documentary on Africa, all the show is hungry children, sick people,undeveloped areas, wild animals, unclad children as if all the whole of Africa is Famine stricken, as if there are no good places to show in africa! Our the telling me that 4rm jo'burg,pretoria,dakar,brazaville,yaounde,accra,tripoli,lagos, down to abuja there arent good structures and that every one are starving? The never show bad places like downtown detroit which are ruins in their own documentary! Fuc..k the Us, fuc.k the west, no wander the Arabs hate them like crab. --- just a spay a litle time to check this; http://www.africa.com/blog/why-i-was-invited-to-the-white-house/ |
CAMEROONPRIDE: i think each time we come across such videos we should flag/report them ...it's very sad to have such dehumanizing videos of Africans all over the Webeven when i do that those anti-africans never take it off! We really need to mobilize against this things, we should voice out so that the world will hear!! This is very inhuman! A Question was trown on yahoo! Answers page Yesterday of a possibility of an african pope, you should see the way the reacted calling african clerics babaric,baboons,animist etc! When i tried defending, i was way subdued because the entire onliners were racist, i almost got banned while the racist go scot free. This is Injustice! Meted on africa! We supply more than half the worlds natural resources, if we stop, the world economy would crash, i dnt knw how i can push this case to the highest point, bt i am wiling to go lengths for my Fatherland,AFRICA |
^your right guys. NOW THIS IS ONE OF THE THREADS THAT will Affect the price of garri in Nigeria |
And i think AU Can do something about this racism mostly americans paint on africans, especially the youtube video saga, yahoo american comments are all filled with racist terms yet no one cares to censor, the abuse and call africans all sort of names starting 4rm babons,monkeys,animist,babarians etc and if you try same, your comment is taken ofline and you may lose ur yahoo! Account if you try further! I think AU Should impose sanctions on this companies, make them pay heavily, face charges etc! |
CAMEROONPRIDE: you clearly don't know the chronology of the events in Bakassi. We have been fighting and killing your soldiers long before the ICJ judgement. Get educated.Google is your friend.now bro, this is what we call funny! Killing our soldiers? Which ones? Our isreali trained Amphibious? Or our US MARINE/SAS trained Special boat service Forces? Ok no problem cameroun can bomb down the whole of nigeria in minutes, they can finish our entire armed forces, police and paramilitary forces! I accept in good faith for peace to reign, bt i surely hope the try it, and history teachers in the world over would tell their students; "there was a country called cameroun". |
CAMEROONPRIDE: lmao propaganda Smh.big liar |
CAMEROONPRIDE: stop lying to make a point.no harm meant bro! The internet is free to air. Just visit http://cia.gov and select cameroun and then economy |
hrmkz: Help me laff by liking!!!ok . . . . Mek i laugh my own oh . .[img]http://chunk347.files./2009/06/guy_laughing.jpg[/img] |

[sahara reporters] GEJ speech caused the killing of 3 teachers, police swung into action.

Nice idea, i think its time we started developing our own things! I was happy when i started seeing local premeir leauge matches on front page! Nairaland is indeed a tool for change. |
No peace for the wicked, 10 facts or not, all i say is JTF Sent them to join the Cue for their hard laboured 72 virgins. "the Nigerian government shall,will and must not negotiate with terrorist". " I know not with what world war III will be fought, but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones " -Albert Einstein, world greatest physicist |
andrewza: How do you get to that. Not my fault MTN is making money of Nigerians. Any case MTN is a privat compoany the presdiant can't not boss them around for no resoane.too bad MTN IS GONNA GET KICKED OUT WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF mobile number portability system, NBS say about 75% of mtn customers want to dump it for poor services going over to nigerias globacom, indias airtel, among etisalat etc and new players UK TELECOM. By then sA GNP WILL FALL! Nigeria last year recorded a 43% percent lost of taste for foreign products and a 16% increase in non-oil export! Soon the import wil be reduced to single digits! |
Msauza: That's a fact the giant of Africa feared Cameroon. Big ups for Samuel Eto's country!!!!!!!now this is really funny! Cameroun soldiers could not even take on our militants group when the struck their border infiltrated their land and kill 18 gerdames.! The same militants group were all intercepted during a gun duel with nigerian naval forces after being called to the rescue! ] your own definition of afraid is what marvels me bro! The same cameroun soldiers whn nigerian troops drove out of bakassi just overnight by the orders of the president! " the same cameroun who ran to france to strike a military pact because of nigerias growing military influence " the same cameroun who barely have enough fighters to take on our RECCE BATTALIONS! { the same cameroun who use our military hardwares to conduct naval patrols and drills ] the same cameroun who can hardly survive a 3month war with Nigeria with their 25b and gdp and minial foreign reserve, whose economy is describeb by cia as among the world's worst? The list keeps going bro . . . . There is no need to fight among ourselves(africans)! We should work together to create a beter africa bro . , |
snydergp: [s]even the dumpest ass in the world knows Nigeria would have eradicated cameroun of the face of the earth, if it wanted to go to war! What weapons do cameroun have to justify ur statement? Nigerian amphibious troops were stationed all around bakasi peninsula waiting 4 presidential orders to strike which never came in. Nigerian troops just like any other soldiers were following orders when it left the peninsula nt because the couldnt fight bt because of ICJ ruling and 4 peace 2 reign! Nw see the results of the peace; camerounian troops conduct regurlar naval drills on Nigerian warships! Would this have been posible if we went to war ? No . . . So i personaly respect the decision of our govt! |
NK IF AT ALl wanted a good ally should have made good diplomatic relations with anti-american country like iran who would have supported them along side russia and china! | and anybody saying Us is to powerful 4 china is a bleep! China has what is required to stage a 10 years war with Us, given its ever balloning economy,populatiom and technology! China with help 4rm Russia would sink the Us! Dought me then go check up your brain. |
Ok. . . . Sack all northern senators next . . .! I no see wetin dat my guy man do sef oh! Imagine a whole me i never hear im name 4 news b4. |
andrewza: Source.beegeagles blog! And a article on "the contribution of nigeria to the anti-apartheid war"! Google those up bro! |
Whoops! https://abdullahidikkoinde.net/wp-content/gallery/gallery/dsc_0284.jpg[img]http://beegeagle.files./2012/08/abpu.jpg?w=640[/img] disguised as a civilian jetNigerian Imigiration service military wing just received cJ4 SERVILIANCE JET ALOng side Alenia ATR JETS. . . . [b]Remember that our Alenia ATR jets were the ones that discovered the apartheid military camp against SA Blacks in equitorial guinea back in the 80's ! We then threaten to bomb equitorial guinea if the allow white folks to build military camp that would be used against SA BLAcks, equatorial guinea being afraid by then forced them out thereby puting sand to their plans!!! We then donated our warship to equatorial guinea 4 the favour and built university and started up their navy to repel revenge attempts . . . . .oh those good old days! Now this are the same folks calling us fools and all sort of names! Well we dont regret ever helping any black nation!!! |
andrewza: Nigeria GDP is small most of her money comes from forgin trade and the biggest item nigeria trades is crude oil.very soon Nigeria would overtake SA GDP IN OCTOBeR 2013, after gdp rebasing, our gdp currently only includes oil and agricultures based since 1990, neglecting other areas, the october 2013 gdp results would show a 60% increase reflecting; ICT,SERVICES,manufacturing,banking,insurance,etc, so there is no dought that SA is gonna be left behind, the only think SA is gonna be ahead of us is Per capita finish. Just wait for the rebasing calculations on october dude. ---- and for the oil production stuff, we have discovered many new oil reserves in nigeria which will help us overtime, right now we are concentrating on diversifyin the economy to be totally less dependent on oil and its working. |
Oboy!! See potential bodyguard!! Just hire this one as bodyguard enter Lasgidi, main na me be second fashola. |
Last time i heard it was ghana must go! This time it will be "Aboki must go". Make Gej relocate this guys to northern mali, pakistan,syria,afghanistan and iraq , becos thats were the will find care 4rm their fellow jihadists. JTF SHOULD Smoke their asses, at least the wil meet their 72virgins faster. |
snydergp: Nigeria don't have the biggest reserves of oil Brazil, Saudi Arabia and lately USA has far more reserves than Nigeria even your exports to US is dropping I posted a link about this some months ago.lol . . .again, you said ghana and angola, and now you are saying angola alone? And i didnt remember saying that nigeria has the largest reserve, i said among the largest. And we are discovering oils in different areas now to, our bpd has increase by 180,000bpd. Go google those.! |
Napolitano: If Nigeria ever gets into war, the world would be surprised as weapons would be springing out from nowhere.after one dimwit western media go talk nonsense! Make person try attacking nigeria, na dier weapons go comot 4rm underground! Fuc..k western media. |
snydergp: The Palmaria is outdated 1980's artillery which has been fazed out in many of its users like Brazil, Argentina and Italy and not even a match for the G5 105m or 155 howziter not even taking into account the G6-52 or the G7 still under development.and you forget that nigeria paid SA $210,000,000 to supply G6-52ER! Go ask your weapon factories the wil tel ya! |
snydergp: Do you even know why a country keeps foreign reserves because that money is mostly there for guarantee of future payment of goods and services and to maintain currency stability, not for military spending support no country with a credible finance sector will ever use the reserves in such a irresponsible manner so stop displaying your ignorance here.hahahahahag, ghana overtake us? You gotta be kiddin me bro! We have by far one of the highest oil reserves in the world, one of the largest crude production capacity and Nigerian oil is the best oil as describe by international institute of strategic research because it is a "sweet crude". NIgeria produces 2.7 million barrels perday as against ghana 86,000 barrels ap peak time with proven reserve of 37.2 billion barrels while ghana has none. |

agaugust: andrewza i guess maybe capdn143 is adding up all NAF aircraft including aeroplanes, helicopters, air transport, maritime, air trainers, air utility, including both jets and propellers engine and all those together.no wrong! According to the Quotation sent from the office of the commander in cheif to the ministry of defense, the new aircraft(jet and helis) we have paid for awaiting supply is 129 in number, i guess u can count it bro also. You can go back and count bro. No harm meant bro, you are stil my guy! @bleep you are not different from a SA i met on facebook who said Nigeria can defeat SA, THEN I SAID TO MYSELF, what happens if andrewza,msuaza and co should get a hold of this guy? . . . . . .
