The shipyard continues a 180-year naval shipbuilding tradition with the roots lying in the activities of the former traditional shipyard Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW). Ships of all frigate classes currently used by the German Navy were built at this shipyard. The existing high-quality infrastructure provides a competitive advantage, as for example, GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL boasts of the largest dry dock in the Baltic Sea region (426 meters in length) as well as a powerful portal crane with a lifting capacity of up to 900 tons. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is the last remaining German general contractor in the European tender for the new multi-purpose combat vessel (MKS180) for the German navy. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is an internationally acknowledged yard for naval shipbuilding, having recently delivered two frigates to the Algerian Navy both, on time and budget. Currently, the shipyard is constructing four corvettes for another foreign navy. The company is also proud of being part of the consortium building the second lot of the K130-type corvettes for the Germany navy. GERMAN NAVAL YARDS KIEL is part of the European shipyards alliance of PRIVINVEST – a leading supplier of naval solutions. The group includes world-renowned industry specialists like the French naval shipyard CMN and Isherwoods in Great Britain. The competencies of these sister companies complement the German naval shipyard in an ideal manner as system integrator of large and highly-integrated naval vessels. www.germannaval.com NAVAL FORCES IN COOPERATION WITH INTER NA TION AL FORUM FOR MAR I TIME POWER MS&D 2018 International Conference on Maritime Security and Defence - PREPARING FOR FUTURE CHALLENGES - Conference Programme (Room Chicago) 6 September 08:30 – 09:00 Registration OPENING 09:00 - 09:15 Welcome addresses Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress Jan Wiedemann, NAVAL FORCES, Chairman MS&D 2018 09:15 - 10:00 Keynote Speech Developments in the worldwide maritime security situation Rear Admiral (UH) Thorsten Kähler, Chief of Staff German Navy Headquarters Panel I – MARITIME SECURITY 10:00 - 10:30 Maritime security and balance of powers in East Asia Dr Sarah Kirchberger, Head of the Center for Asia-Pacific Strategy and Security, Institute for Security Policy, Kiel University (ISPK) 10:30 - 11:00 Coffee 11:00 - 11:30 China’s strife for economic and military power Dr Sarah Kirchberger 11:30 - 12:00 A Southern African perspective on maritime security Rear Admiral (UH) (Ret) South African Navy Hanno Teuteberg 12:00 - 12:15 Q&A 12:15 - 13:15 Lunch 13:15 - 13:45 The effects of global warming on maritime security Prof Dr Christian Webersik, Deputy Director, Centre for Integrated Emergency Management (CIEM), Department of Global Development and Planning, University of Agder, Norway 13:45 - 14:15 The impact of ice melting on the maritime security in the Arctic Dr Patricia Schneider, Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, University of Hamburg (IFSH) 14:15 - 14:30 Q&A 14:30 - 15:00 Coffee Panel II – MARITIME DEFENCE 15:00 - 15:30 Flexible Interoperable Toolbox for Future Operational Requirements in Confined and Shallow Waters (FIT FOR CSW) - Modularity, Mission Modules and the way ahead Commander (S.G.)

MS&D was inaugurated by Hamburg Messe und Congress in cooperation with NAVAL FORCES magazine in September 2008 and has since developed into a world-class conference attracting high-ranking delegations from navies, coast guards, naval indus- try, UN, NATO, EU, international maritime organizations and other important members of the international naval community. MS&D is a unique event, which differs considerably from other maritime conferences, normally focusing on only a single subject. Under the topics SECURITY and DEFENCE, MS&D conferences attempt to cover the whole spectrum of modern threats, which may have to be dealt with by naval forces and naval industry, including peace keeping, evacuation and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations. The security political situation around the world is changing con- stantly. Threats that were believed to be matters of the past are suddenly back. New threats are emerging almost every day. Na- vies have to adapt their missions, tasks and tactics accordingly. Naval industry has to provide platforms and equipment required for a steadily increasing range of missions. Are navies and naval industry prepared for future challenges? Our renowned international speakers will introduce their evaluation of the maritime security situation on the Seven Seas, Exclusive Eco- nomic Zones, territorial waters and harbours, the impact of global warming on maritime security, current developments in digital se- curity as well as new trends in naval technology. Under the mot- to of this year’s MS&D, PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE, they will suggest ways of countering possible threats or hostile acts effec- tively and efficiently. I hope that MS&D 2018 will meet your expectations and provide answers to some of the questions you may have. Please feel free Jan Wiedemann to visit the SMM maritime trade fair of which MS&D is a part. I wish Co-publisher NAVAL FORCES you a successful conference.

  • U-Boot-Exporte in Die Türkei Und Andere Staaten
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 19/2099 19. Wahlperiode 07.05.2018 Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Sevim Dağdelen, Christine Buchholz, Heike Hänsel, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion DIE LINKE. – Drucksache 19/1515 – U-Boot-Exporte in die Türkei und andere Staaten Vorbemerkung der Fragesteller Die Türkei produziert zahlreiche Waffen in deutscher Lizenz, so etwa die Klein- waffen G3, MG3, MP5 und HK33. Zwischen 1994 und 2007 kamen noch U-Boote der Klasse 209/1400 vom Hersteller Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft (HDW) hinzu. Seit knapp 50 Jahren ist die türkische Marine Kunde von thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH (TKMS) – ehemals HDW – mit Sitz in Kiel (www.handelsblatt.com/my/unternehmen/industrie/milliarden-ausschrei- bung-in-indonesien-thyssen-krupp-will-mit-der-tuerkei-u-boote-verkaufen/197 26678.html?ticket=ST-4301735-ohPe35dJah6yWLtN1xUr-ap4). So wurden die ersten U-Boote der Klasse Atilay in den 1970er Jahren durch die HDW und durch die türkische Gölcük Naval Shipyard produziert. Die U-Boote der Klasse 209/1400 wurden unter Lizenz des Herstellers HDW von 1994 bis 2007 in der Türkei gefertigt. Die 13 Schiffe der U-Boot-Flotte stammen alle entweder aus Deutschland oder wurden unter deutscher Lizenz produziert (http://ruestungs export.info/uploads/laender/tuerkei.pdf). Zudem baut die Türkei aktuell sechs U-Boote mit außenluftunabhängiger An- triebsanlage des Typs 214 unter deutscher Lizenz, wovon das erste 2019 fertig- gestellt werden soll. Vermutlich sollen die neuen 214er U-Boote die fünf 209er- Typen der türkischen Marine ersetzen (http://ruestungsexport.info/uploads/laender/ tuerkei.pdf). Bei den Unterauftragnehmern handelt es sich um türkische Unter- nehmen wie ASELSAN, Havelsan, Ayesaş, Milsoft, Koç und STM (http:// defenceandtechnology.com/2018/02/25/donanmanin-yeni-denizaltisi-murat- reise-ilk-kaynak/).

  • Press Release
    Press release Marine Systems 17 October, 2018 Page 1/3 Águas Azuis Consortium is one of the finalists of the Brazilian Navy CCT Program bid On 15 October, the Brazilian Navy announced the short-list for the bidding process of the CCT Program (Corvettes Class Tamandaré) that will supply four ships to the Brazilian Navy. One of the finalists is the Consortium Águas Azuis, formed by thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and Embraer Defense & Security. Based on a long-term relationship and strong footprint in Brazil, both companies, and its subsidiaries, have built a solid national partnership with proven capability to absorb technology and ensure its development not only for the CCT Program, but also for future strategic defense projects in the country. The Consortium Águas Azuis has presented to the Brazilian Navy a proposal based on MEKO® class concept, a world-class reference through proven solutions in naval shipbuilding. Its modular design facilitates local integration and transfer of technology, helping to reduce cost of acquisition, maintenance and modernization. Combining state-of-the-art technology, innovation and robust fighting capabilities, the MEKO® class is an authentic blue-water ship. These vessels have outstanding, far- reaching and robust marine qualities, and are cost-efficient to operate. As a result, Navies have a flexible and versatile fighting platform, and a general purpose ‘workhorse’ for diversified mission profiles. Dr. Rolf Wirtz, CEO of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems: “We are very glad to move forward to the final phase of the CCT Program bid. It reinforces our leading position and the proven technologies we have been offering to the naval defense sector worldwide.

    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Updated February 6, 2019 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program Summary The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. The Department of Defense’s January 2019 missile defense review report states that the number of operational BMD-capable Aegis ships was 38 at the end of FY2018 and is planned to increase to 60 by the end of FY2023. The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2019 budget requests a total of $1,711.8 million in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania that are to be part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Under the EPAA for European BMD operations, BMD-capable Aegis ships are operating in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran. BMD-capable Aegis ships also operate in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran.
