lifecycle. Te installation of two ATP/PFV systems per boat, giving independent port and starboard operation, provides operational and reliability benefits. In weapons trials of the first WHLS on HMS Astute, weapon shapes have been successfully launched from all six tubes as part of ongoing design proving activities.
Amphibious ships BPC arrives in
Toulon for testing Dixmude – the third Mistral/BPC-type force projection and command vessel for the French Navy – arrived in Toulon on 13 July. Te DGA ordered BPC Dixmude in April 2009 as part of an economic stimulus package proposed by President Nicolas Sarkozy. Te resulting industrial cooperation programme was awarded to DCNS and STX France and the platform built at the STX France shipyard in Saint-Nazaire in cooperation with DCNS. BPC Dixmude is due for delivery to the DGA in early 2012 and for entry into active service later in the year.
BPC Mistral and BPC Tonnerre, the first two Mistral- class force projection and command vessels, were built by DCNS and the then-Chantiers de l’Atlantique and delivered to the Navy in 2006 and 2007 respectively. On 17 June, DCNS signed a contract with Russian
defence export agency Rosoboronexport for the supply of two Mistral/BPC-type vessels and associated services including initial logistics, training, and technology transfers. Tis is the first export success for the Mistral/ BPC design. On the international market, the type is known as a landing helicopter dock or LHD. Te first ship will be delivered to Russia in 2014, just three years aſter the contract go-ahead. Te second will be delivered in 2015. WT
Dixmude was ordered in April 2009 as part of an economic stimulus package.
