the meko family of warships was developed by the german company blohm + voss .

meko is a registered trademark .

the portmanteau stands for " mehrzweck-kombination " ( english : multi-purpose-combination ) .

it is a concept in modern naval shipbuilding based on modularity of armament , electronics and other equipment , aiming at ease of maintenance and cost reduction .

meko ships include families of frigates , corvettes and ocean-going patrol boats .

construction of meko ships began in the late seventies with the design and later building of nigeria 's meko 360 h1 .

vessels of similar classes use different weapons systems .

for example , for the main gun , some meko 200s use the mk 45 mod 2 gun , others use the french 100 mm naval gun or otobreda 76 mm gun .

the latest variant is the " combat ship for the littorals " or meko csl .

it has also been called a " littoral combatant ship " , but it is much smaller than the american littoral combat ship .

there was speculation that this design would be of interest to israel , but it was not .

ultimately however , israel opted for four modified k130 braunschweig-class corvettes , the first of which is expected to enter service in 2019 .

the new variant is dubbed the sa'ar 6-class corvette .

meko has more than 25 years of experience in laser cutting , laser drilling and laser welding of metals and other materials - in 2d and in 3d .
early sources from germany indicated that the future israeli navy patrol vessels are based on the meko 80 designed and built by german group thyssenkrupp marine systems ( tkms ) . meko 80 patrol corvette is a slightly reduced version of the meko 100 ( of which 6 were built for the royal malaysian navy and one under construction in poland for the polish navy ) . it appears clear now from the images that saar 6 vessels will not just be
patrol vessels
as initially reported but rather powerful corvettes with a displacement of about 2 , 000 tons and a length of about 90 meters .
water resources reliability is an overriding theme in much of meko’s more recent work in western north america . meko’s streamflow reconstruction studies have generally been directly funded by water agencies . research for the california department of water resources found strong evidence that extreme past droughts in the sierra nevada have been associated with a sustained northward shift of the storm track and decreased moisture delivery to the sierra nevada . work for the salt river project (

meko is a lovely , contemporary house in an exceptional location for a visit to melbourne . nestled in a quiet leafy street , yet a short stroll to the adored lygon street carlton , bursting with cosmopolitan cafes , restaurants , shops and cinemas . very close to melbourne university . walk or take a short ride in a tram or bus to the city .
dr . meko applies tree - ring data to identify features of the natural variability of streamflow , precipitation , and other hydroclimatic variables that might not be evident from relatively short gaged instrumental records . his work geographically focuses on the semi - arid western united states , but has included studies in canada , mexico , and the meditteranean region . meko’s early work had a strong methodological emphasis , which has continued to the present and resulted in several advances in streamflow reconstruction modeling : the incorporation of time - varying subsets of tree - ring sites into reconstruction models ; the probabilistic interpretation of reconstructions ; interpretation of earlywood - latewood width parameters to refine the seasonal resolution of reconstruction of moisture variations ; and exploitation of remnant - wood collections for improved robustness of streamflow reconstructions in early centuries of the tree - ring record .
water supply . an ongoing project for the u . s . bureau of reclamation is aimed at incorporating climate - variability and climate - change information into management of the colorado river . the questions addressed by meko’s research sometimes extend beyond water supply . for example , a project for the national park service addressed effects of climatic variation on the ecosystem health of a riparian stand of cottonwood trees in great sand dunes national park ; and a project for b . c . hydro was aimed at determining whether construction of a dam on the peace river has led to unprecedented alterations in the hydrologic regime of the peace - athabasca delta , a climatically sensitive wetland of major international importance for its stature as a wildlife habitat and staging ground for migrating bird species .
saar 6 class corvettes will be heavily armed : they are set to be fitted with up to 40x ( most likely 32x ) vls cells for surface to air missile system barak 8 by israel aerospace industries ( iai ) and c - dome naval point defense system by rafael , 16x anti - ship missiles and the mf - star multifunction aesa radar by iai . the main gun is set to be a 76mm oto melara super rapid ( possibly with strales guided rounds ) . in addition , saar 6 will be fitted with 2x rafael ' s typhoon remote weapon stations and two 324mm torpedo launchers . saar 6 corvettes will have hangar space and platform able to accommodate a medium class ( sh - 60 type ) helicopter . all four vessels are expected to be built in kiel , germany ( where tkms is currently assembling 2 other powerfull corvettes , the meko a200 an for algeria ) while systems outfitting ( combat management system , sensors and weapons ) will most likely be conducted in israel . the first saar 6 corvette is set to join the israeli navy in 2019 .
four new corvettes armed with missiles and built by tkms will defend israel ' s gas rigs .
israel ' s ministry of defense today signed a €430 million procurement contract with germany for four new patrol vessels to defend the country ' s mediterranean economic waters and offshore gas rigs . the german government will provide a €115 million grant towards the new boats .
the sa ' ar 6 patrol boats will be produced at the thyssenkrupp marine systems ( tkms ) shipyards in kiel . tkms is also building dolphin submarines for the israel navy . the new boats will be based on the corvette k - 130 and will have an estimated weight of 2 , 000 tons . the new boats will be equipped with fire control and radar systems , advanced defense missiles , and other systems developed by israeli defense electronics companies .
the new boats will be at the heart of the israel navy ' s defense of israel ' s economic waters . in the future this will include surface ships , routine patrol boats , drones , advanced means for gathering real time intelligence , and more . a senior israeli defense source told
globes
that the four boats will be delivered to the israeli navy within eight years with the first boat delivered by 2019 .
the agreement was signed this morning at the israel ministry of defense headquarters in tel aviv by director general general ( res ) dan harel and thyssenkrupp marine systems chairman andreas burmester .
the deal will be funded from a special budget approved separately from the defense budget by the government last year . the financing package will be undertaken by israel discount bank ( tase : dsct ) , which won an international competitive tender published by the ministry of defense . there were bids from five israeli banks and three european banks .
the german shipbuilders have committed to undertake nis 700 million in reciprocal procurements in israel .

israeli web portal walla ! recently published an interview with the head of the israeli navy ' s equipment division , moshe zana , who provided some details on the saar 6 vessel project ordered from germany . speaking during the israel air force ceremony on december 25th 2014 , israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced that israel ordered four new patrol vessels from germany :
today , i am pleased to announce that three days ago , we added an important component to our defensive force . we purchased four new saar vessels from germany
. the israeli ministry of defense completed in may 2015 the negotiations for purchase of four patrol boats . the main goal of this new procurement is the protection of israel ' s economic exclusion zone ( eez ) where oil and gas production is booming in the sea off west coast of the country . the volume of the transaction is estimated at approximately 430 million euros . ( germany has agreed to fund €115 million of this total ) .
the future israeli navy saar 6 corvette . picture : tkms / israeli navy via urltoken
both mega projects — the estimated $ 2 billion , three - vessel dolphin - class air independent propulsion ( aip ) program and the estimated €500 million ( us $ 560 million ) , four - ship sa ' ar - 6 corvette program — are subsidized in part by the german government .
they also involve extensive israel - unique engineering modificatoins , which a top officer in israel said benefits not only the israeli navy but the thyssenkrupp marine systems ( tkms ) shipyards , too .
building for the israel navy enriches your brand as a marine company ,
rear adm . yossi ashkenazi , head of the israeli navy ' s materiel command , said of tkms , the kiel - based prime contractor for both programs .
aside from the employment gained as a result of these long - running , multiyear programs , proprietary israeli technology developed for both programs improves the competitive standing of the shipyard and its string of subcontractors , said ashkenazi .
when tkms goes on a road show around the world and they show our israeli products , it puts them in different places compared to other civilian industries and competitors . … the same is true for the providers of electric motors , gear boxes and other major components of the programs .
the israeli officer noted that while israel owns the intellectual property for technologies and engineering changes developed for the two programs , such technologies could be marketed for other customers .
it ' s not only the shipyards that benefit from working on an israeli project , but also the major suppliers .
a tkms spokesman characterized the israeli navy as
a longstanding customer … who places the highest demands on their naval capabilities .
we always strive to work together with our customers closely in order to tailor our solutions to the customer ' s needs and to further advance our systems based on customer feedback and operational experience ,
he said .
israel ' s sixth and final dolphin - class submarine with aip capability on order from tkms – the ins dakar – is at the stage where nearly all sections of the sub are fully equipped and aligned , ready for mating into a single , 220 - foot - long hull .
about a year ago , you ' d only see random sections , with all the equipment outside ,
ashkenazi said .
today you see most of the equipment is already after installment in the body of the sub . the sections of the entire submarines are aligned … and in about six months , it will assume the shape of what we ' re calling the ins dakar .
like the ins tanin that arrived in israel in 2014 and the ins rahav that reached home port in january of this year , the dakar features an aip suite that is unique to israel ' s navy , he said .
it ' s not a design that you can find on the market . it ' s not type 123 or 300 or 400 . yes , others have aip , but the combination of all our subsystems create a dolphin 2 - class type that is characterized only by our fleet ,
he said .
the officer said sea trials could be delayed until later next year to ensure that israel has incorporated the most advanced technologies in the platform .
we don ' t have an exact date , because we ' re evaluating other technologies in the fields of navigation and detection . there are things we may want to add to the submarine , so it could be delayed by a few months .
when the submarine finally leaves germany , it will embark on what is called an administrative sail , meaning the vessel is equipped with navigation , communication and self - defense capabilities but without the combat weapons suite , which will be integrated in israel .
on the way home , it will make a ceremonial stop at the point near crete , where wreckage from the original ins dakar was discovered , to honor the crewmen who perished in 1968 .
co - located at tkms headquarters in kiel is another israeli navy team dedicated to supervising the shipyard ' s israeli - tailored design of four new , 2 , 000 - ton warships loosely based on the blohm + voss - class 130 corvettes .
intended for defending offshore energy facilities and other strategic sites in israel ' s exclusive economic zone ( eez ) , the new ships — known in israel as sa ' ar - 6 magen ( shield ) — will be larger than the three 1 , 300 - ton us - built sa ' ar - 5s that now form the backbone of israel ' s surface fleet .
and like the dolphin 2 - class submarines , israel ' s new surface fleet will feature israeli - developed technologies and significant engineering changes to render the german baseline platform militarily robust and uniquely capable of accommodating indigenous sensors and combat gear .
in this program , tkms is the prime contractor responsible for design of the corvettes , while a separate , competing organization — german naval yards kiel ( gnyk ) — will manage production .
there ' s some complexity involved because tkms and gnyk are separate organizations with different cultures that compete on other projects ,
ashkenazi said .
nevertheless , he added ,
by forging an alliance with these two organizations we hope to get in the end a very unique , quality product … no less than the level we are expecting and receiving on the submarine project .
we ' re in the advanced design phase now ,
said the navy captain , who reports to ashkenazi but was not permitted to be identified by name .
according to the captain , the new corvettes will feature barak - 8 and iron dome interceptors , both of which will be supported by the elta elm - 2248 adir surveillance , track and guidance radar . in order to accommodate the radar ' s four phased - array panels , the service is redesigning the topside arrangement of the baseline ship and its supporting hull , mechanical and electrical systems .
officers here said keel laying should take place next summer , with delivery of the first ship by early 2019 .
after delivery of the first one , we hope the others will follow in six month intervals ,
ashkenazi said .
he estimated that it could take another six months to one year to equip the new vessels with the radar , sensors and weaponry needed to defend eez assets .
these two mega projects — the subs and the corvettes — will put the israel navy in another league , in terms of technology and capabilities . when we speak about the near sea arena , and we look at the major investments in our neighbors ' fleets , these assets will give us the added flexibility and agility we need to retain our edge ,
ashkenazi said .

great company to work for . laid back hassle free work environment . average employee has been with the company 10 plus years . people come to work and stay here .
i honestly cannot think of any cons . no negatives come to mind . they treat their employees well . i have nothing negative to say . keep doing what you are doing .
i have no advice for management . the executive members i have met have all been very kind and extremely helpful . they put all the cards on the table and let you know what is expected of you .
i can ' t offer many positives , it ' s a nice office . i had a large work space with a nice ergonomic chair . the general office atmosphere is friendly , cooperation . a positive attitude and the pursuit of higher education is encouraged .
competitive pay and benefits . great atmosphere and co - workers . plenty of time off and flexible hours .
not very many work locations so unless you live close to the hub you will likely have a lengthy commute .
it was good . nothing spectacular . there are some positions to work from home . good pay only after so many years of service
there is no way to get promoted . its pretty much of who you know . it seems that management make up positions for best friends . in order to grow you will need to apply to outside subsidary company such as southern company . the employees base decrease every year due to layoffs .
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile . are you sure you want to replace it ?

“prometheus books has been self - distributed for our entire existence , nearly forty - four years , ” says jonathan kurtz , prometheus books president . “over the years distributors have expressed interest in representing our line , but we knew we’d only make that change if the partner could truly offer us significantly more than we’ve achieved on our own . aligning our press with the services and resources of the world’s largest general - interest trade - book publisher is the kind of move forward we simply cannot pass up . we are invigorated by the possibilities this relationship opens to us . ”
three new books try to complicate our understanding of the brain — what it does , biologically , and how capable it is of changing .
you could count on one hand the number of publishing houses devoted to putting out books specifically about atheism , science , and critical thinking , but prometheus books ( founded by the late paul kurtz in 1969 ) is arguably the best . their biggest titles include atheism : the case against god ( george h . smith ) , god : the failed hypothesis ( victor j . stenger ) , and the sky is not the limit : adventures of an urban astrophysicist ( neil degrasse tyson ) .
they specialize in publishing non - fiction books that fall into the following categories : popular science , philosophy , atheism , humanism , and critical thinking .
publishes a wide variety of nonfiction books about social sciences , religion , true crime , business , self - help , history , psychology , humanism , health and medicine . also publishes some fiction and children
jill : we already publish a good amount of books for a mid - size press , 100 - 110 new titles every year . the goal is not to publish more but sell even more of what we already publish . reach even more readers with our exceptional product .
jill : we expect to . our books are sold through most major booksellers in the us and worldwide , but there are some holes that have historically been tough to fill . for example , there are accounts that have been tough to crack because we may only have one or two perfect books for them in a year . buyers may not meet with a supplier than only has one or two products to pitch . that limited our effectiveness . but now , as part of the rhps client roster , we hopefully can have that opportunity to be sold directly to such an account .
seventh street books® , launched in october 2012 , is devoted to publishing quality crime fiction regardless of subgenre . from puzzling mystery to psychological suspense , from hardboiled noir to legal thriller , the seventh street books line includes both veteran and debut authors . the imprint has developed several favorite ongoing series ( such as the novels of hugo marston , samuel craddock , mark angelotti , and detective sean duffy ) and continues to discover and nurture exciting new talent , such as authors lori rader - day ( the black hour ) , mark pryor ( the button man ) , and allen eskens ( the life we bury ) .
jill : it’s a best of both worlds scenario . authors continue to get the specialized attention a mid - size press like prometheus can offer , and the opportunity to publish more niche content as well as mass - appeal work , while benefiting from the sales and distribution economy of scale that random house publisher services brings to the table . also , rhps is extremely selective in taking on new clients . it’s a stamp of approval for our imprints .
humanity books , acquired in 1998 , publishes academic works of high quality across a wide spectrum of the humanities . designed for scholars , students , and the educated public , it is committed to presenting cutting - edge research in philosophy ( both analytic and continental philosophy ) ; the history of philosophy ; sociology ; history ; the history of science ; political science ; race , ethnicity , and gender studies ; and classic works in black studies and women ' s studies , among other disciplines .
jill : as a very self - contained independent press , we’ve managed to achieve incredible growth over the last 40 plus years . our books are sold all over the world and can often be found on the new release displays at national us chains . however , a company our size can never match the resources of the world’s largest general - interest trade - book publisher . their publisher services sales team has as many people as our entire company . they come to the marketplace equipped with the leverage of enormous sales successes . they have different bargaining power with big players like amazon than we do alone . they can execute a one - day laydown at retail . we also get access to a brain trust of experienced publishing professionals . that kind of routine knowledge - sharing is very valuable , especially to a publisher that’s based in amherst , ny and not manhattan . and we’ve learned already that they are not just some moneyed machine but a group of extremely passionate book people . they are very excited about the books we publish , and that’s extremely gratifying .
jill : the random house deal has been four or five years in the making . they approached us , and they tell us that influential publishing executives had pointed to us as one to watch . other distributors had sought our business over the years , but we’re an unusually self - contained company , with very little outsourcing overall . we’d never felt they could offer us substantially more than we did for ourselves , until now .
jill : hopefully , no . for quite a while there’s actually more work , not less , as we integrate with their timeline , schedule , and requirements . and the relationship opens up many new marketing possibilities for us , so we expect to repurpose some employees as opportunities and needs arise . we’re investigating ways to put our warehouse and distribution capabilities to use in new ways . it will be quite a while before we see for sure how it all shakes out , but we’re certainly aiming to minimize or avoid layoffs as much as possible .
the official partnership will go into effect ( no joke ! ) on april 1 st .
