British Army signs training deal with Kenya
Kenya has signed a deal with the UK, extending the British Army military base in the country which will also enable the U.K to continue training thousands of troops in the country every year.
The agreement still needs to be ratified by both the UK and the Kenyan parliaments, but it will allow the army to use what has become its biggest foreign training area for live firing drills.
The BBC's Africa Correspondent Alastair Leithead joined one of the exercises.

RAF Sentinel R1
The RAF Sentinel is an airborne battlefield and ground surveillance aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force. Based on the Bombardier Global Express ultra long range business jet, it was adapted by Raytheon to meet the RAF's requirements. Originally known as the ASTOR (Airborne STand-Off Radar) programme the aircraft is operated by a RAF squadron manned by both air force and army personnel. The Sentinel is interoperable with other allied systems such as JSTARS and the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system.
ASTOR System Links
ASTOR has its roots in the British Army's Corps Airborne Stand-Off Radar (CASTOR) programme which in 1984 modified a Britten-Norman Islander (G-DLRA/ZG989) with a large nose radome for battlefield surveillance. Gulf War 1 confirmed the requirement for such an aircraft, but the end of the Cold War made funding difficult. The production contract was signed in December 1999 with a projected in-service date of 2005.
The Sentinel R1 is a modified Bombardier Global Express powered by two Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofan engines, which would also have been used in the cancelled Nimrod MRA4. The programme involved five aircraft and eight mobile ground stations (six on wheeled all terrain vehicles and two in air transportable containers), and a training facility at RAF Waddington. The programme cost £850m, as budgeted. The support contract is for 3200 flying hours per year and between 2015–18 the fleet of five aircraft will have average running costs of £54.4m/year.
The Sentinel cockpit has a centrally housed, pull-down screen capable of displaying a moving map, Link 16 datalink information and defensive aids subsystem (DASS) data. The DASS comprises a towed radar decoy, missile approach warning system and chaff and flare dispensers and can be operated in automatic, semi-automatic or manual mode.
RAF Waddington Air show
The aircraft normally operates at over 40,000 feet (12,000 m) to ensure a high resolution view of a large battlefield area. It is crewed by a pilot, a co-pilot, an Airborne Mission Commander (AMC) and two image analysts. Mission endurance is approximately nine hours. While the image analysts can analyse the images on board the aircraft it is expected that, unlike the JSTARS, the actual battle management will occur on the ground.
The main radar is an BAE Systems/Raytheon Systems dual-mode Synthetic Aperture / Moving Target Indication (SAR/MTI) radar known as Sentinel Dual Mode Radar Sensor (DMRS). It uses AESA active electronically scanned array technology. Raytheon claim it could be modified to match the maritime surveillance capability of the cancelled Nimrod MRA4, and the ground stations could be adapted to receive data from Watchkeeper, MQ-9 Reaper and the future Scavenger programme.

A contract for the development of a maritime capable software upgrade will be placed in the spring of 2015; Jane's speculates that this would allow the Sentinel to detect surface vessels and potentially submarine periscopes and that other sensors could be fitted as a 'low-end' capability for maritime surveillance to complement a 'high-end' platform such as the P-8A Poseidon.

Its role above Libya in 2011 was described as "pivotal" by the head of the RAF. In February 2012 it was announced that Sentinel would be offered as the UK contribution to NATO's Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) collaboration, complementing NATO RQ-4 Global Hawks and French Heron TPs. On 25 January 2013, the British Government announced that the RAF would deploy one Sentinel aircraft from RAF Waddington, in support of French operations in Mali. On 14 February 2014, it was reported that the Sentinel was used to map the scale of flooding in Southern England.

On 18 May 2014, the MOD announced that a Sentinel had departed to Ghana to assist in the search for the 223 schoolgirls abducted by the Islamic militant group, Boko Haram, in Nigeria on 14 April 2014. En-route to Ghana the Sentinel was forced to divert to Senegal due to a technical issue. In 2014, Prime Minister David Cameron announced the retention of the aircraft, even after operations end in Afghanistan, until late 2028. On 26 March 2015, the MOD announced the deployment of two Sentinel aircraft to provide surveillance to coalition forces fighting ISIL terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

Taking a close look at the At Sea Demonstration 2015
The demonstration took place in October 2015 on, and around the MOD Hebrides Range in the UK.
The Range is operated by QinetiQ under the Long Term Partnering Agreement (LTPA).The MTMD Forum is built up of ten nations; Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States. Nine of which took part in the demonstration.
ASD15 included the launch of four ballistic missile Terrier Orion targets, one exo-atmospheric intercept of a Terrier Orion with a Standard Missile 3 (SM3), 11 sea skimming Mirach targets flown and nine surface to air missiles fired, including Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM), Standard Missile 2 (SM2) and ASTER 30.
Royal Navy and Royal Air Force personnel are at sea onboard USS WASP for the latest F-35B Lightning II fast jet trials.
The six United States Marine Corps (USMC) Lightning II aircraft are onboard USS WASP, off the coast of the United States’ Eastern Seaboard. The aircraft are assessing the ship/air integration and effectiveness across flight operations, communications, maintenance support and logistical supply. Operational Test activity will include carrier qualifications for aircraft take-off and landing, and air combat/air defence missions over sea.
As the only non-US Tier 1 partner in the F-35 program, the UK has nurtured strong participation from both an industry and operational standpoint.
The UK’s joint Lightning Force has worked hard to stay at the leading edge of F-35 development from the start, notably with the advance of STOVL technology.
The timeline slider below uses WAI ARIA. Please use the documentation for your screen reader to find out more.
The Royal Navy’s vision for tactical integration of the F-35B into their current arsenal is similar to the Marine Corps’ plan to integrate the F-35 with legacy aircraft, such as the AV-8B Harrier and the F/A-18 Hornet, and gradually phase out legacy aircraft over the coming decades.
Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Neil Mathieson, the UK’s F-35 Ship Integration Lead, said:
By 2020, UK combat airpower will consist of Typhoon and F-35B Lightning II, a highly potent and capable mix of fourth and fifth generation fighter aircraft. With Typhoon already established as one of the premier multi-role fighters in the world, the F-35 brings a complementary next-generation level of survivability and lethality. This will ultimately provide the UK with an unprecedented level of capability in a single platform.
U.K F-35B
In February, the UK stood up their first F-35 Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The historic 17 (Reserve) Squadron is now responsible for the entire operational test and evaluation of the UK’s F-35s. Personnel from 17 (R) Sqn, comprising engineers and pilots from the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, fly and maintain the two UK F-35B jets independently from their US colleagues.

US Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan is the Program Executive Officer for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office. He said :
United Kingdom participation in the F-35 program has been absolutely critical to our success. Since the beginning, UK test pilots and engineers have been fully integrated and work shoulder to shoulder with us as we deliver the F-35 to the warfighter.
Evidence and experience gained from this event will provide the basis for future F-35B deployments as the USMC work towards their Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in Summer 2015. UK F-35B pilots will begin operating the next generation stealth fighter from bases in England starting in 2018, and are on track to fly from Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers in 2020.

Britain's defence Engineering Giant Babcock upbeat after order book hits record £20bn
Engineering services company profits as government farms out defence contracts
Babcock International has won outsourced contracts from the MoD refitting Royal Navy vessels. Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Image
Babcock International said it was confident about the future after annual profit at the engineering services company rose by almost a third and its order book hit a record £20bn.
For the year that ended in March, underlying pretax profit increased 32% to £418m and revenue rose 27% to £4.5bn. The FTSE 100 company increased its annual dividend by 10.4% to 18.1p a share.
Babcock won more orders from existing customers such as the Ministry of Defenceand from its acquisition of Avincis, the emergency helicopter service company, a year ago.
In the UK, Babcock’s new contracts included decommissioning Magnox nuclear reactors and managing London fire brigade’s vehicle fleet. Its biggest customer is the MoD, which outsourced work on aircraft carriers and other navy vessels to Babcock.
Peter Rogers, its chief executive, said the company was in a strong position to do well again this year.
“The nature of our business is we have a £20bn order book so we can see about 80% of revenues for the year, which is a bit higher than normal. Analysts are forecasting somewhere around 10% growth in sales and profit and that seems to me to be a reasonable place.”
Rogers said the new government’s defence and security review was unlikely to damage Babcock’s business. The group has gained work as the government has cut defence spending and farmed out support functions.
On target: Defence services group Babcock International is on the lookout for more takeovers
“I’m not sure how far the cuts have helped our business but what I would say is I don’t think they have harmed it,” Rogers said.
Babcock is expanding in Europe and wants to carry out more work for the emergency services in France, Spain and Italy.
Rogers said it would be better for business if Britain stayed in the European Union instead of voting to leave in a referendum promised by 2017. The chief executive of JCB said on Monday it would be preferable for the UK to leave than to stay in an “over-bureaucratic” EU.
Rogers said: “I find it difficult to work out why it would be in the interests of the UK to jump ship rather than to engage and make changes. The Brits are as capable of inventing red tape as the guys in Brussels. Things don’t always go your way and people without the UK’s interests [at heart] take decisions that have a great effect but do you deal with them or throw the toys out of your pram?”

SAS to send hit squad to 'take out Jihadi Sid'
THE SAS is to send a hit squad to kill the terrorist dubbed “Jihadi Sid”.
By Patrick Williams / Published 10th January 2016
PIXEL8000
SICK: Jihadi Sid poses with armed child
The team of snipers will be led by the elite regiment’s top marksman, an experienced combat veteran.
Last week, the Daily Star Sunday exclusively disclosed how he killed three members of Islamic State during a battle in the Iraqi city of Ramadi.
Covert operation: A team of elite British SAS soldiers operate in Syria with Black Hawk helicopters
The staff sergeant blasted the jihadis through a 10in brick wall from one kilometre away using a Barrett Light 50, the world’s most powerful sniper rifle.
British-born Siddhartha Dhar, who was seen in an Isis propaganda video executing Syrians accused of being British spies, is the target. Sources told us the mission is a “kill not capture” operation.
“He wants to die for his cause and we intend to help him every way we can”.
A senior defence source
Dhar, 32, made his debut as an Isis executioner months after Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, died in an airstrike after being filmed murdering several hostages.
Jihadi Sid, a convert to Islam from Hinduism, was a bouncy castle salesman in the UK.
The father-of-four from east London is now at the top of the SAS kill list and is also a prime target for US special forces operating in the area.
GETTY SAS: Siddhartha Dhar may be targeted by long range snipers
It is understood the hit squad will also be under orders to kill any British-born jihadis, including women, if they pose a threat to the UK.
All British extremists who have joined Isis in Syria are thought to be living in secret fortified bases away from Arab members of the terror group.
The SAS team, drawn from the regiment’s special projects group, will attack them using RAF drones, air strikes or long-range sniping missions.
One senior defence source said last night: “This guy wants to be the new Jihadi John.

“He wants to die for his cause and we intend to help him every way we can.
“We will find him just like we found Jihadi John. The clock is ticking and it’s just a matter of time.
“This is a kill mission and he is at the top of a long kill list.”
NATIONAL NEWS
REPLACEMENT: Siddhartha Dhar is seen as the new Jihadi John
The SAS team will locate its targets with help from MI6 agents on the ground. Government “listening post” GCHQ will also pass on intelligence from intercepted mobile phone calls and emails.
Dhar was arrested in 2014 but released on bail. He then defied a ruling to surrender his passport, boarded a coach to Paris and fled to Syria.
He has taunted British security services on social media, writing a series of messages just weeks after he fled the UK, including: “My Lord (Allah) made a mockery of British intelligence and surveillance.
“What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State.”
Siddhartha Dhar to be targetted by SAS hit squad | Latest News | Breaking UK News & World News Headlines | Daily Star
@Blue Marlin , @Steve781 , @Schutz ,@Hamartia Antidote ,@Vauban et al.
This is exactly what i was talking about, the way our judicial system/officials/authorities in Britain treat radicalise muslim extremist/fanatics and islamist terrorists is a HUGE JOKE, they are too soft on them since the liberals/human rights activists/leftists and politicians(political correctness) alike don't want to be seen as targeting a certain religion/minority, even when it means putting the country and its citizens at risks.
Had this idiot/scum been in the U.S he will be languishing in a U.S jail for life in a small hole call prison or better still in Guantanamo. We should learn from our American ally.

“He wants to die for his cause and we intend to help him every way we can.
“We will find him just like we found Jihadi John. The clock is ticking and it’s just a matter of time.
“This is a kill mission and he is at the top of a long kill list.”
NATIONAL NEWS
REPLACEMENT: Siddhartha Dhar is seen as the new Jihadi John
The SAS team will locate its targets with help from MI6 agents on the ground. Government “listening post” GCHQ will also pass on intelligence from intercepted mobile phone calls and emails.
Dhar was arrested in 2014 but released on bail. He then defied a ruling to surrender his passport, boarded a coach to Paris and fled to Syria.
He has taunted British security services on social media, writing a series of messages just weeks after he fled the UK, including: “My Lord (Allah) made a mockery of British intelligence and surveillance.
“What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State.”

This is exactly what i was talking about, the way our judicial system/officials/authorities in Britain treat radicalise muslim extremist/fanatics and islamist terrorists is a HUGE JOKE, they are too soft on them since the liberals/human rights activists/leftists and politicians(political correctness) alike don't want to be seen as targeting a certain religion/minority, even when it means putting the country and its citizens at risks.
Had this idiot/scum been in the U.S he will be languishing in a U.S jail for life in a small hole call prison or better still in Guantanamo. We should learn from our American ally.

THE SAS is to send a hit squad to kill the terrorist dubbed “Jihadi Sid”.

SICK: Jihadi Sid poses with armed child
The team of snipers will be led by the elite regiment’s top marksman, an experienced combat veteran.
Last week, the Daily Star Sunday exclusively disclosed how he killed three members of Islamic State during a battle in the Iraqi city of Ramadi.
Covert operation: A team of elite British SAS soldiers operate in Syria with Black Hawk helicopters
The staff sergeant blasted the jihadis through a 10in brick wall from one kilometre away using a Barrett Light 50, the world’s most powerful sniper rifle.
British-born Siddhartha Dhar, who was seen in an Isis propaganda video executing Syrians accused of being British spies, is the target. Sources told us the mission is a “kill not capture” operation.
“He wants to die for his cause and we intend to help him every way we can”.
A senior defence source
Dhar, 32, made his debut as an Isis executioner months after Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, died in an airstrike after being filmed murdering several hostages.
Jihadi Sid, a convert to Islam from Hinduism, was a bouncy castle salesman in the UK.
The father-of-four from east London is now at the top of the SAS kill list and is also a prime target for US special forces operating in the area.

SAS: Siddhartha Dhar may be targeted by long range snipers
It is understood the hit squad will also be under orders to kill any British-born jihadis, including women, if they pose a threat to the UK.
All British extremists who have joined Isis in Syria are thought to be living in secret fortified bases away from Arab members of the terror group.
The SAS team, drawn from the regiment’s special projects group, will attack them using RAF drones, air strikes or long-range sniping missions.
One senior defence source said last night: “This guy wants to be the new Jihadi John.

Rolls Royce has offered the following design to Poland for its Coastal Defence Vessel requirement: 99.7 metres long and displaces just over 2,400 tonnes. Accommodation for 60 crew and an additional 30 personnel is included and the ship is said to have a 28 day endurance.
Lockheed Martin, DCNS and others are also reported to be bidding.

@Blue Marlin , i never knew Rolls Royce also designs warships. Eventhough i must say this design looks like the Royal navy of Oman's Khareef class that was built in Portsmouth by BAE.
Just came across this article, Interesting indeed.
