The Military Store

KMW and Friends, Leopard 2 A5  (little something for the desktop)

The Military Store is rolling like never before, with all the goods and hardware this is The Toys"R" Us for the Mission, Protection, Surveillance, Air Superiority and Naval Armada. This era of world war mechanics and technology is increasing every entity's bottom line that's involved in $manufacturing$.  I mean someone is making money, for Bently sales are up.  So let's have a look at this market, the products, the web design and advertising. (kinda makes ya want one, might need it)  Click the web page images to go out to the sites.  For me personally, the preference is German design after working in speed shops on Audi's and electronics training with Agfa, leaves me to say Yavol!


KMW- LEOPARD 2 A5
The Allied Standard

The LEOPARD 2 A5 owes its superior fighting force of an optimal combination of protection, mobility, manageability and firepower.

He is, as the LEOPARD 2 A4 equipped with an L44 smoothbore cannon (120 mm). Compared to the A4 with numerous upgrades have been performed.  An optimized frontal turret protection, an electrical tower and weapons drive, a Kommandantenperiskop with its own thermal imaging device, its modern navigation system and a rearview camera are just some of the upgrades.

The modular design of the Leopard 2 A5 will also facilitate future upgrades and combat efficiency improvements and its use - adapted to a wide variety of threats - well into the 21st century sure.

BAE Systems Striker II Helmet

BAE Systems today unveiled its Striker® II Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD), a fully digital solution that provides today’s combat pilot with exceptional night vision and target tracking technology, integrated within a visor-projected system. With decades of combat-proven experience, the new platform-agnostic Striker II HMD builds upon BAE Systems’ current Striker HMD, which has been successfully deployed on Eurofighter Typhoon and Gripen fleets.

Carbon Nanotubes aids Aircraft Health

Scientists and engineers at BAE Systems have lifted the lid on some futuristic technologies that could be incorporated in military and civil aircraft of 2040 or even earlier. This technology allows jets to quickly heal themselves from damage sustained in flight. The technology is a lightweight adhesive fluid inside a pattern of carbon nanotubes from which the aircraft is constructed and is released when damaged to quickly 'set' mid-flight and heal any damage.  This advanced use of materials would create a highly survivable jet, capable of entering even the most dangerous of scenarios to complete vital missions.

The F-35 Lightning II 5th Generation Fighter

Three variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least ten other countries.  The F-35 is developed, produced, and supported by an international team of leading aerospace companies.  As the prime contractor, Lockheed Martin continues its 100-year history of aircraft research and design with the Lightning II.



Principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems build the center and aft fuselages, respectively.  Northrop Grumman also brings its expertise in carrier aircraft and low-observable stealth technology to the F-35 program and supports logistics, sustainment, modeling and simulation and mission planning.  BAE Systems contributes a rich heritage of capabilities, including short takeoff and vertical landing experience, advanced lean manufacturing, flight testing and air systems sustainment.



Pratt & Whitney (I'm in!) builds the F-35's F135 propulsion system, the world's most powerful fighter engine.



Eight nations—Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, and the United Kingdom—have joined the United States in developing the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning.  International countries were awarded contracts proportional to their financial contributions, allowing their domestic industries to produce elements of the aircraft.  Contractors inside the UK, the single largest international partner participating in the program, will build 15 percent of each F-35, while Canadian and Australian companies have won a combined nearly $1 billion in contracts.  Allies were incentivized by significant returns on their investment, job creation, industrial growth, and strengthened bilateral relationships with the US—in addition to acquiring cutting-edge combat capabilities.
