☆ The cost of key US weapons like artillery shells for Ukraine is soaring
  + stars: | 2024-03-16 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The cost to maintain a weapon is more than twice the cost to build it, a GAO official said. Related storiesThe Army estimated that O&S costs for the Excalibur — first deployed in 2007 — had soared 183% since a baseline estimate in 2011. Still, all this does raise the question of whether higher maintenance costs for US military equipment at least partially result from problems with design and manufacturing. "We don't know the specific extent of O&S cost growth due to design problems or poor sustainment management," Maurer said. "In some respects, those problems could lower O&S costs because systems cannot fly, operate, or sail as often as planned.

☆ After Ukraine's success with US-made HIMARS, European militaries are looking for their own rocket artillery
  + stars: | 2023-07-22 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Other European countries are pursuing their own rocket artillery, buying HIMARS or building new systems. Sovfoto/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesMultiple launch rocket systems have been around since World War II, when the legendary Soviet Katyusha battered Nazi forces. But Russia adapted and moved its command and supply centers out of HIMARS range, though at the price of compromising some efficiency. Rocket artillery can't replace howitzers, which offer some advantages, such as the ability to fire barrages continuously for hours. Still, rocket artillery is certain to join howitzers as the backbone of Western artillery.

☆ Russia's electronic warriors are intercepting Ukrainian troops' communications and jamming their GPS-guided bombs, experts say
  + stars: | 2023-07-03 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Russian jamming seems to be affecting Ukraine's communications and US-provided weapons, experts say. "The problem may well be the sheer power of the jamming signal that can be brought to bear," Withington said. "Moreover, the closer the GPS receiver is to the R-330Zh's jamming antenna, the stronger the jamming signal becomes." Russia's counter-GPS efforts are part of a massive electronic-warfare campaign that has also disrupted Ukrainian radio communications and drone operations. John Moore/Getty ImagesAccording to the RUSI report, Russian EW troops are also "highly capable" at intercepting and decrypting Ukrainian radio communications.

☆ Russian jamming may have hamstrung a US-made bomb kit being used in Ukraine, leaked documents say
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Leaked Pentagon documents highlighted concerns about the Joint Direct Attack Munition weapon. The American-made bomb kit used by Ukraine may have been hamstrung by Russian jammers. One document in particular highlights concerns about US-made bomb kits which have been sent to Ukraine in recent months. One factor is the bomb fuses aren't arming at their release, which Ukraine's air force has worked to fix.
