for major activity as a result of a
Rooikat turret upgrade contract
tender and hardware evaluation.
This achievement
bears testimony to the competitiveness
of Denel Optronics
products.
The SAPS had released an
open international Request
for Quotation last year with
proposal submissions scheduled
for November 2005.
Ground and airborne evaluations
of the short-listed bidders
took place in February
2006.
The Goshawk 350 system is
the system of choice where
a compact, low mass, highreliability
solution with payload
sensor variety and
modularity are required. It
has a proven track record
with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) manufacturers
worldwide and has recently
undergone a delta development
to incorporate Denel
Optronics’ LEO-II laptop control
unit with a view to enter
the fixed-wing and helicopter
market.
The Goshawk 350 is one of
a family of electro-optic stabilised
airborne observation
and surveillance systems developed
and manufactured by
Denel Optronics. Others in
the portfolio are the LEO (civilian
and police applications),
and Argos (military applications).
The latter has been
fitted to the SA Navy’s Super
Lynx 300 naval helicopter.
Sophisticated gyro stabilization
in all these systems ensures
exceptionally stable
and crisp images, despite the
vibration and movement of
the helicopter. They are fitted
with a daylight TV zoom
camera, as well as a thermal
imager that gives it 24-hour
all-weather capability.
Its advanced multi-sensor
imaging technology makes it
ideal for law enforcement
operations. Denel’s most recent
international customer
of the LEO II is the Buenos
Aires Police in Argentina.
Denel’s LEO system is successfully
used by Police Air
Support Units on five continents
– from the Americas
to Europe, Middle East and
Asia Pacific - in some twenty
countries around the world.

Denel
shatters
artillery
records
In a continuing drive to improve its acknowledged lead
in tubed artillery systems, Denel shattered all previous
artillery records by firing 75km earlier this year.
This range improvement was achieved on 11 April 2006 with
the latest G6-52L, Denel’s extended range version of its renowned
G6 self-propelled artillery system. It fired V-LAP projectiles
which use both base-bleed and rocket-assist technology
to extend the range.
The ammunition was conditioned at 50°C as part of a safety
qualification for an upcoming manned user trial. The gun
fired at an elevation of 1 000 metres above sea level at the
Alkantpan firing range near Prieska in the Northern Cape Province.
What makes this achievement more remarkable is the
excellent consistency achieved, with a probable error of only
0.38% of range fired.
“We’ll be able to further improve on this accuracy in future
by applying range correcting fuse technology on which Denel
has started to work,” explained Mr. Bastiaan Verhoek, Executive
Manager: Business Development at Denel Land Systems.
Artillery systems in many parts of the world, such as within
NATO, are specified to fire shorter ranges, mainly in the interest
of standardization. “For these requirements we do
supply guns and ammunition systems too, but because we
use the same design technologies, Denel can do so with much
more confidence and greater margins of safety,” he added.
“With these latest firing trials, Denel showed that it remained
the world leader in development of long range artillery ballistic
systems,” Verhoek concluded.
FIRST HAWKS DELIVERED TO AFB
MAKHADO
The first Hawk Mk120 lead-in fighter trainers for the
South African Air Force (SAAF) took off from Denel
Aviation on 24 May 2006 for AFB Makhado, witnessed
by the media and members of the SAAF, Armscor and
industry project teams.
Delivery of the two aircraft mark a significant milestone in
the fulfilment of South Africa’s 1999 joint procurement order
for 24 Hawk and 28 Gripen fighters. Since then further
batches of the Hawks completed at Denel were flown to
Makhado to start the SAAF’s training programme there.
With the exception of Hawk SA 001, the flight test and development
aircraft built in the United Kingdom, all of the
SAAF’s other Hawks were assembled at Denel’s Kempton
