Pues allá, por estas cosas, tanto a la empresa como a los responsables les cae las del pulpo (judicial y económicamente). http://galaxiamilitar.es/una-metalurgic ... -de-ee-uu/

Elaine Thomas, de 67 años, se declaró culpable el lunes de un importante fraude en un tribunal del estado de Washington, en el noroeste de Estados Unidos, por falsificar pruebas para encubrir el hecho de que el acero fabricado en la fundición Bradken Company no siempre cumplía con los requisitos y criterios requeridos por la US Navy, según un comunicado del Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos. Se enfrenta a 10 años de prisión y un millón de dólares en multas cuando el juez emita su veredicto el próximo febrero.

Pues es la enesima demostracion de la cultura empresarial toxica que reina por alli. No es un hecho aislado. Parece que a los americanos se les ha olvidado el concepto "control de calidad". O al menos han llegado a asumir que va muy por detras de las cuentas de beneficios. Es preocupante porque, por ceñirnos al tema de los submarinos, lo mismo tenemos un buen monton de ellos navegando con restricciones de profundidad (por ejemplo) ya que no se puede garantizar la calidad de los materiales. Esperemos que nunca ocurra un accidente.

Por cierto media docena de mandos incluido el comandante del USS Connecticut que chocó contra un "objeto desconocido", cesados de entrada.

En USA tienen por norma que a los mandos que estan "al mando" cuando ocurren este tipo de accidentes se los cepillan sin remision. Da igual que sea culpa suya, que no lo sea, que no estuviera cartografiado, que se siguiera el protocolo escrupulosamente.... Si te pasa una de estas, una simple varada en una barra no cartografiada y nueva por ejemplo, tu carrera se acabo. Punto pelota. Hay muchas veces que me parece tremendamente excesivo.

Interesante, menos trabajo que hacerlos de 0 y tendrían un sistema de protección tremendo.

La idea no es nueva. Ya la planteó Tom Clancy en El oso y el dragón haciendo que un Tico remontase el Potomac para dar cobertura ABM a Washington DC.

[Orel]

Tiene sentido, y ahora que Guam está a tiro de misiles balísticos terrestres y navales chinos... además de misiles de crucero desde H-6K/N.

Borrador del RFP para el lanzador de contramedidas Mk53 Nulka: https://sam.gov/opp/3c2c83ede7dc4220a4f ... d5bcc/view

11/12/2021 Update: An Updated draft solicitation has been posted that includes Sections L & M.

This is an update to the previously posted synopsis/RFI for the Nulka Launcher program issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems Above Water Sensors and Lasers Directorate (PEO IWS 2.0). The purpose of this posting is to provide a draft RFP to industry for review/comments as well as to provide information on how to request GFI relating the solicitation and Nulka Launcher program. This post will be updated throughout the week to provide the addition of Sections L & M of the RFP. Industry may also reach out to the POC for this post to obtain and updated version of the draft TDP (updated since the last RFI). The TDP package is being reviewed for any final change and updates and is expected to have minimal updates between the current draft version available for request/review vs the final version that will be released with the final RFP. The final version of the TDP will also contain a list of changes to allow for easy comparison and review.

The Government is seeking feedback from industry to re-assess interest at the prime contract level and is specifically seeking feedback from both industry that is interested in participating at the prime contract level, as well as feedback from any industry that considered participation (and have the capability) but ultimately does not believe that it will be interested. The Government would like to specifically draw attention to the RFP section F delivery notes, stepladder structure, and (once posted and available), sections L & M of the RFP. Information on capacity and schedule limitations, or any areas of the RFP that may be seen as barriers to competition is sought from industry.

Adiós al USS Oklahoma City, un submarino de ataque ya con 33 años, que acaba de arribar de su último viaje. En cuanto se proceda a la baja oficial y como todos los submarinos de propulsión nuclear, será desmantelado y reciclado en el Arsenal de Puget Sound.
