[008] FB4M Markets Saturday, April 2,2005 8:41PM ~ Military Base: Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF)
Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF)
~ Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF) is one potential market for FB4M base
~ it will carry fighters which can drop FB4Ms rapidly to target area
~ it will be able to carry transport helicopters with SOFs
~ and FB4M bases and FB4M helicopter unit can be sent from carrier

~ CVF can be the command and control center with which FB communicates
~ FC helicopters are capable to return to CVF
~ CVF can also provide fuel both to FBs and FBs

Background:
~ Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF), see http://www.mod.uk/dpa/projects/cvf.htm
~ The Strategic Defence Review (SDR) concluded that the ability to deploy offensive airpower would be central to future force projection operations
~ CVF will be the principal platform for the RN/RAF Future Joint Combat Aircraft (FJCA) which will replace RN and RAF Harriers.
~ The Carrier Air Group will also include the Maritime Airborne Surveillance & Control (MASC) system, which will replace Sea King AEW helicopters.
~ MASC will provide sensor coverage against air and surface threats, together with command and control for other air operations.
~ CVF will also be capable of supporting the operation of helicopters in a wide variety of roles that could include anti-submarine warfare, attack and support
~ The STOVL variant of the Lockheed Martin F35 Joint Strike Fighter has been selected to fulfil the FJCA role and in order to maximise the flexibility
~ see The choice of the STOVL variant of the F-35 fighter means the carrier will not be initially configured for conventional landings
~ the carriers will be built to an innovative adaptable design
~ initial indications suggest that the carriers could be amongst the largest warships ever built for the RN.
~ BAE SYSTEMS Marine at Govan, Babcock BES at Rosyth, Swan Hunter in the North East and Vosper Thornycroft in Portsmouth to build carriers
~ see photos at http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/cvf/
~ A configuration currently being considered is based on two Rolls Royce Marine Trent 36MW MT30 gas turbine alternators driving two electric motors.
~ The MOD has decided not to use nuclear propulsion because of high cost,
~ Kellogg Brown and Root (UK) Ltd (KBR) had been selected as the preferred physical integrator (PI) for the future aircraft carrier (CVF) project
