Service Centre will focus on MRO services for the C295
Warsaw-based EADS PZL Warszawa-Okęcie, now branded Airbus Military, has officially opened a new MRO Service Centre dedicated to the repair and servicing of Airbus Military C295 aircraft. This is Airbus Military’s second service centre in Europe, adding to the capabilities of its centre in Seville, Spain. The newly opened facility will perform the full scope of repair and service work for C295 airlifters operated by the Polish Air Force and other operators and potential clients in Europe and worldwide.
The manufacturer EADS PZL Warszawa-Okęcie, now Airbus Military, has been granted a certificate to service Airbus Military C295 airlifters and the staff has been trained at the Airbus Military plant in Seville. The Service Centre employs about 30 people. Within Airbus Military´s Warsaw facilities a special hangar has been adapted and equipped to house the new centre.
“The inauguration of a service centre at Warsaw facilities of Airbus Military is an important milestone in Airbus Military’s activity in Poland and shows its commitment to the Polish market”, said Francisco Javier Diaz Gil, President and Managing Director of EADS PZL Warszawa-Okęcie S.A. “This development is a token of recognition for the accomplishments of the Polish aerospace industry as well as for Polish know-how and the skilled workforce”, added Diaz Gil.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of Ministry of Economy, Ministry of National Defense and representatives of Polish Air Force.

In particular it produces the outer wings for the Airbus Military C295 as well as the cargo doors, the ramp and the doors for the pilot, paratroopers and passengers on the CN235 and C295. This workshare has been recently increased with the assembly of the nose section for those aircraft, making the company the largest supplier to these programmes.

Boeing Ships WGS-4 to Cape Canaveral for January Launch
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] shipped its fourth Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., to undergo final preparations for a scheduled January launch. The new WGS satellite will join three others that are already on orbit and carrying the bulk of satellite communications traffic for the armed forces and other government agencies.
Built at Boeing's El Segundo manufacturing facility, WGS-4 is the first Block II WGS satellite. The new series adds performance upgrades such as a switchable radio frequency bypass that supports the transmission of airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance imagery at data rates approximately three times greater than those currently available to the U.S. Department of Defense. With the addition of WGS-4, all WGS satellites will continue to provide warfighters with instant, worldwide SATCOM connectivity.
"New airborne surveillance platforms are driving a need for higher data rates, and the upgrades on WGS-4 are designed specifically to meet these emerging requirements," said Craig Cooning, vice president and general manager of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems.
WGS-4 will be placed into geosynchronous Earth orbit along with the three other WGS satellites that are operating over the Middle East, Pacific and Atlantic regions.
"We have three satellites on orbit that are meeting -- and in most cases exceeding -- customer requirements, and we remain committed to the mission of building affordable WGS satellites for the U.S. Air Force to connect warfighters worldwide," said Cooning.
WGS satellites are built on the proven Boeing 702HP platform, which features highly efficient xenon-ion propulsion, deployable thermal radiators and advanced triple-junction gallium-arsenide solar arrays that enable high-capacity, flexible payloads. The WGS communications payload has unique flexibility that is important to the military, as well as the ability to interconnect terminals that operate in different frequency bands and to reposition coverage beams based on evolving mission needs. WGS supports missions ranging from tactical communications to and between ground forces, to relaying data and imagery from airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms
