CLAIRON PICARD
DEFENSE LOOKING AT MORE NAVAL AIR
Defense Ministry, October 17, 5632: CLAIRON PICARD sources have learned Defense Minister Tristan Thibault and Premier Bruno LeFebvre, both of whom are members of Parti Social - Democrate (PSD),,met with the Director General of Defense Acquisition (EGAD), the Chief of the National Defense Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations together with appropriate staff to discuss proposed naval air purchases in the Naval Budget.
The Chief of Naval Operations indicated the purchase of 10 Fantome 2000 - 5F’s and 10 Rafale F4.1’s was part of the Naval Budget already approved by the current Council of Ministers so the new part of the proposal was to purchase 10 additional AB P -99 anti submarine warfare and long range reconnaissance aircraft from Braise Aerospace. Five each would be assigned to the 55th Naval Air Squadron located in La Tondelle Province and the 5th Naval Air Squadron located in Val – d’Azur Province for a total of 25 in each squadron. The new aircraft would be delivered over the next three years.
The Premier asked how this fit into the Defense Budget and the Director General of Defense Acquisition (EGAD) stated funds for this purchase were within the limits of appropriated funds assigned thereto. The Chief of the National Defense Staff stated that he and Defense Minister Thibaut had given their approval since there were increased demands for aerial reconnaissance of our naval areas of concern given increased military tension in Terra coupled with decay of international organizational cooperation.
The Premier indicated the purchase should proceed.

Braise Aerospace has long built air transports for the National Air Force and long ago adapted an airborne early warning and control aircraft it manufactures on occasion for the National Air Force to produce a prototype of an anti submarine warfare aircraft. Braise Aerospace adapted its AB R-99 AEW & C for maritime patrol and added ASW weaponry for its prototype, the AB P-99. Initial orders were in 5059 and 5092.
The AB P-99 is equipped with an active electronically scanned array radar and propelled by two turbofan engines. The military version is adapted from a civilian regional passenger jet. It is a remote sensing aircraft employing synthetic aperture radar and a combination electro optical and forward infrared cameras. It also acquires signals intelligence from interception of electronic transmission and command and control capacity. Further it has four underwing hardpoints which be used for anti ship missiles or torpedoes.
