Successful first operational NATO assessment of a Eurofighter Wing
Excellent results were achieved after the first operational evaluation made by NATO of a Eurofighter Typhoon Wing. A NATO evaluation team certified the Italian Air Force’s 4th Fighter Wing at the Grosseto Base as a NATO Quick Response Force.
This means that the 4th Wing becomes the first Eurofighter flight unit to obtain this important NATO certification.
The operational evaluation took place during the “Operation Discrete Jury” exercise, which tested the ability of the 4th Wing to be deployed abroad for peace-keeping and peace-making missions.
The exercise involved many air wings’ activities, from rescue to telecommunication services, self-defence and survival capabilities and, more particularly, logistic support, maintenance and flight operations. It was in this very field that the operations of the Grosseto Base’s Typhoons were positively evaluated, having demonstrated excellent operational availability and compliance with national and NATO’s operational requirement.
Enzo Casolini, Eurofighter CEO, said: “We are very pleased that the first Wing of Eurofighter Typhoon has achieved such an important goal. This clearly demonstrates the maturity of the Eurofighter programme as well as highlighting the capabilities of the aircraft and its operational availability which reached a very high level”.
The 4th Fighter Wing, together with the 5th Wing of Cervia, the 36th of Gioia del Colle and the 37th of Trapani, is one of the Italian Air Force units assigned to the control of Italian airspace 24 hours a day all year round.
Within the 4th Fighter Wing, the 20 Squadron is also active with its twin-seat Typhoons which are tasked with the “transition” of Italian pilots assigned to the Eurofighter Squadrons.
Defense Authorization Bill Passes House
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2010 Defense Authorization bill. It was for a $550 billion defense budget with another $130 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is one of two bills that must pass each year for the Defense Department to spend money in the next. The second [...]Read the original post here.
European Union Limits Offsets
Offsets are the practice of when one country buys a system or services from a company in another they require that company to invest in their economy. They are not uncommon in the defense business. Right now India especially has very strict offset rules that have led to some controversy.
The European Union announced yesterday some rules to make offsets more targeted and defense related among its member countries. In the past some country’s have requested offset investment in their civil economy rather then in defense work. Normal procedure is to buy services, parts or maintenance related to the contract awarded.
The new rules require that the offsets be defense related. They also limit the total value to no more then equivalent to the awarded contract. Most often offsets are some percentage of the value so these rules are not to onerous. The EU has moved recently to tighten up competition among the various countries penalizing Italy for favoring their own internal industry over other available sources for example.
The offset rules announced will probably have limited effect since many of the projects are already shared among a variety of suppliers such as the Typhoon. If there is a decline in defense spending and the number of large contracts available there will probably be more efforts to expand competition and restrict protectionist policies.

JASM Under Threat
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, Lockheed Martin, Military Aviation, Restructuring, Services, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, production program
The Joint Air-to-Surface Missile (JASM) is an air launched cruise missile used by the U.S. Air Force and Navy. It has been in production for several years and has been deployed for use in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite this the Air Force is planning anew series of test the results of which may lead to the cancellation of the program.
In recent testing the missile achieved only a sixty percent success rate well below the goals set for it. The system is manufactured by Lockheed Martin and canceling would be a loss of significant work. There have already been over 600 of the missiles made.
There have been issues with the wiring and fuses and Lockheed is working on these. The fact that the system seems to be in steady rate production indicates that it successfully completed all testing required to move to that phase. The recent failures may be due to storage or problems in the manufacturing process or maybe with some suppliers.

Australia Awards Major Ship Contract
Filed under: Australia, BAE Systems, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, Events, production program
The Australian Government awarded BAE Systems a contract worth about $300 million (US) to begin laying down the new Hobart class anti-air warfare destroyers. The total program is worth over eight billion (US). On top of that over 200 jobs will be added to the shipyard where the class will be built.
The contract is for various hull blocks for the class of ships. The construction also involves Australian companies FORGACS Group and ASC Pty Ltd. The Hobart class is part of the modernization of the Australian Navy and the country’s armed forces in general recently planned on by the current government. BAE will also provide major communication and weapon systems for the ship.
Slowing Down Government Contracting

Marines And Oshkosh Move Out On New Truck
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Events, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Services, U.S. Marine Corps, development program, logistics, production program
The U.S. Marine Corps initiated a new program for Oshkosh Defense to build them a heavy, multi-purpose truck. The Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) program is for a new tactical vehicle to perform a variety of roles.
The U.S. military had to invest heavily in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and up armor their older tactical vehicles, like HUMVEES and trucks. This program will take advantage of that experience to develop and produce a new vehicle to carry out a variety of missions for the U.S.M.C. As the MRAP has had issues working in tactical situations this is another program to fix some of these issues. The contract is worth just over $700 million if all options are exercised. Right now the contract is for about 600 vehicles.
Like the MRAP-ATV program where there will be a lighter, more mobile vehicle developed to work the rougher terrain in Afghanistan the concept of this program is sensible. Oshkosh will stand to do well with this product if it works out and other services and countries buy it.

MRAP-ATV Contract Continues On Track
Filed under: BAE Systems, Business Line, Companies, Congress, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Federal Budget Process, Force Protection, Oshkosh Truck Corp, Proposal, Services, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, logistics, production program
The MRAP-ATV is a program to develop a lighter, more maneuverable Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle for use in Afghanistan. The Army has been working on awarding a production contract by the end of this quarter. Reports indicated that that will happen and one or more companies who are participating in the current testing will receive an order.
The Army and other Services have invested a great deal of money in the last five years into these systems to counter the IED and mine threat in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vehicles due to their size and weight primarily are road bound and provide point-to-point transport. The rougher terrain in Afghanistan and lack of roads has led to the MRAP-ATV requirement. The program has moved fast as basically all of the vehicles proposed are existing systems.
The winner(s) will see a great deal of work quickly as the military hopes to ramp up production and quantities very quickly. The use of MRAP and their force mix are all undergoing study as the U.S. tries to fit them into its regular tactical organizations and doctrine.

Boeing Ships Next-Generation GPS Satellite to Cape Canaveral for Tests
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 25, 2009 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] has shipped a Global Positioning System (GPS) IIF satellite to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida to conduct a series of key tests for the U.S. Air Force’s next-generation satellite navigation system.
Built at Boeing’s El Segundo satellite factory, Space Vehicle 2 (SV-2) is undergoing ground testing to prepare for the launch of SV-1, the first of 12 GPS IIF satellites. SV-2 arrived at Cape Canaveral May 7 aboard a C-17 Globemaster III. SV-2 is being used to execute a consolidated system test (CST), which is a set of one-time, system-level design validation tests involving the
space vehicle, the ground-based control segment, and user equipment. SV-2 is also being used as a “pathfinder” to validate satellite transportation processes and equipment, and to validate the launch site test program, procedures and equipment. After completion of the CST and pathfinder activities, SV-2 will return to El Segundo to prepare for its own launch from the Cape.
“The shipment of this pathfinder satellite keeps GPS IIF on track for its first launch, and continues Boeing’s long, successful history of building GPS satellites for the U.S. Air Force,” said Craig Cooning, vice president and general manager of Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems. “The GPS IIF system will bring more capability and improved mission performance to the GPS constellation.”
GPS IIF is the product of Boeing’s experience with 39 successful satellites from the GPS Block I and Block II/IIA missions and more than 30 years of teamwork with the Air Force. GPS IIF features twice the navigational accuracy of heritage satellites, more robust signals for commercial aviation and search and rescue, and greater resistance to jamming in hostile environments. It will form the core of the constellation for many years to come.
GPS is a space-based, worldwide navigation system providing users with highly accurate, three-dimensional position, velocity and timing information 24 hours a day in all weather conditions. A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems
is one of the world’s largest space and defense businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world’s largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $32 billion business with 70,000 employees worldwide.

Build A Niche And They Will Come — Kongsberg Wins Another Contract
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, Events, Konsberg, Norway, Services, U.S. Army, production program
The U.S. military as part of their various defenses against IEDs and mines has invested heavily in the last several years in remote weapon stations for their HUMVEE and MRAP vehicles. These are turrets where the gunner actually uses various electronic means to operate the weapon from inside the vehicle. This allows them to be behind the most armor and less exposed.
Kongsberg, a Norwegian company, has made key parts for the U.S. Crew Remotely Operated Weapon Systems (CROWS) since its inception. Yesterday they received another contract worth over $20 million for more of their part. In the last two years the Army has purchased almost 4,000 of the CROWS.
The only issue with work like this in defense contracting is that at some point it may end. The Army may buy all the vehicles with CROWS that it needs; or the threat may change requiring a different concept or system. It also may be that the CROWS will be used on more systems requiring more to be produced. Finally somebody else may come up with a better design. For now though Kongsberg continues to do well off of this idea.

Israel Moves Out On F-35
Filed under: Australia, Business Line, Companies, Congress, Contract Awards, Countries, Department of Defense, Events, Israel, Japan, Lockheed Martin, Military Aviation, Services, U.S. Air Force, development program, production program
It is being reported that the U.S. and Israel have come to an agreement on the purchase of the JSF by that country. There had been some rumors in the past that Israel would not be able to get the advanced fighter due to demands that they be allowed to modify the technology with their own. Israel commonly modifies their equipment with indigenous produced systems and weapons.
The initial buy will be for twenty-five aircraft and expected delivery is sometime in 2014. Congress must still approve the request but normally has no issues with sales to Israel of U.S. weapon systems.
Over the last twenty years the U.S. has placed more-and-more restrictions on technology transfers to other countries with worries that the technology sold will end up in unapproved hands. There are often restrictions on what the buyers can do or access with their systems. Israel’s history of modifying and using the foriegn technology they purchase may have caused second thoughts about selling to them although they have been involved with the JSF since almost program inception.
The JSF will be used by a variety of countries across the globe as it is designed as a replacement for the F-16 and is the only modern U.S. aircraft available for export. Australia and Japan are in discussions with the U.S. about buying F-22 as they would like an aircraft with longer range among other things. Right now the sale of the F-22 is prohibited by law but some in Congress are looking at changing that to keep the production going.
