Ist in Ö eher unüblich der Begriff, aber in den besseren Redaktionen hierzulande muss er bekannt sein. Insnesondere wo investigativ gearbeitet wird.

Embraer expecting first NATO buyer for A-29N Super Tucano this year (31. Mai 2023)Verweigerer hat geschrieben: ↑Do 18. Jul 2024, 10:43Vermeine, die sind doch auch noch daran interessiert analog zu den Portugiesen?
https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/em ... 99.articleSpeaking on 26 May at OGMA’s Alverca site near Lisbon, Portugal – where the A-29N demonstrator is based – Embraer Defense & Security chief executive Bosco da Costa Junior said “we expect to have a launch customer this year”. He identifies the Netherlands and Portugal, plus neutral Austria, as among the nations to have flown the type.

The ‘M-346 T Block 20’ and ‘M-346 F Block 20’ are the designations for the new standard.
The Block 20 standard cockpit will feature two large area displays, one per each seat, replacing the existing six multi-functional displays, plus a low profile head-up display. These will be combined with a new digital video and data recorder and a new augmented reality helmet mounted display. The new cockpit will align the human-machine interface to those of the most sophisticated and future frontline combat air systems, with advantages in terms of quality training (i.e. look & feel plus a high fidelity immersive environment) and situational awareness in operational missions. The ‘M-346 Block 20’ will also benefit from new navigation, weapon management, flight management system, IFF - Identification of Friend or Foe - transponder.
Specifically for the M-346 F variant, further critical capability enhancements include an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar featuring fire control radar capability, integration of new weapons for both air-to-air and air-to-ground roles in addition to a built-in missile datalink.
The whole Ground Based Training System (GBTS) holistic approach to training (multi-media and classroom course, flight/mission simulation, virtual and live/constructive training) will step up to the new standard via virtual reality support and AI applications.
Development of the M-346 upgrade has already begun. Leonardo is planning to start integration in laboratory tests during 2025 and begin modification of the two prototypes available to the company—one in the Fighter Attack (M-346FA) configuration, the other in the Advanced Jet Trainer configuration—toward the end of that year.
The Block 20 configuration will then become the production standard later in the decade, although where that will cut in is undecided, said Dario Marfe, Leonardo Aircraft’s senior vice president for commercial, customer services and training and proprietary programs business. The company is in discussions with potential customers on when would be best for Block 20 production to begin, Marfe told Aviation Week.
Leonardo executives say they expect to have delivered more than 100 M-346s in the current configuration before Block 20 production begins, but also plan to offer a retrofit of the new capabilities for those earlier aircraft.
