La propulsion d'un navire est la principale source de consommation d'énergie. Face à cette problématique, l'équipe de Ship-ST a développé une innovation technologique, avec 5 partenaires (Aglia, CRPMEM Bretagne, GTN, Masson Marine et Masson Marine Engineering) : la pompe-hélice « optipropulseur ». L'optipropulseur, est un nouvel équipement pour les navires permettant de réduire leur consommation. Il a été testé et approuvé par l'armement Arco Breizh de Saint-Malo.
In October 2013, Romania bought 12 second-hand F-16AM/BM aircraft from Portugal to replace part of its fleet of Russian built MiG-21 Lancer fighter aircraft. Romania was rumored to have paid about 638 million EUR with 120 million EUR for the acquisition of the planes. The contract also included modifications and upgrades performed by Lockheed Martin; additional engines; logistics support; and the training of 9 Romanian pilots and 69 maintenance technicians.
Romania is currently working on modernizing the Fetesti 86 military base which will be host to Romania’s first F-16s. Those are scheduled to arrive in 2016. The base must meet NATO standards by then.
