Further Twists Emerge In Fighter Competitions
Political and programmatic upheaval is shifting the ground under U.S. and European combat aircraft builders as they await the outcome of competitions in Asia, Latin America and Europe.
Japan is just one case in point. Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Eurofighter are a
the release of a request for proposals to buy a new fighter to replace its F-4EJ Phantom.However, domestic political turmoil that led to a change in government, as well as controversy over the U.S. Marine Corps base on Okinawa, has drawn attention elsewhere. As a result, the fighter contest may not begin until next year or possibly later, says Mark Kronenberg, vice president for international business development for Boeing’s defense activity. Next year could also see the emergence of another South Korean fighter procurement. Boeing executives view this potential program as the best candidate for a full-up F-15 Silent Eagle. The Eurofighter partner nations are also watching Seoul to see if a 40-60-aircraft need arises. If it does, then the Typhoon will enter the fray.
Uncertainty continues to hang over the Brazilian F-X2 competition, where the Boeing F/A-18E/F, Saab Gripen and Dassault Rafale are in the running. Brazil is in the midst of an election campaign, and several industry officials argue that with just a few months to go before the October vote, no action is possible.
But Brazilian industry officials argue that is not a foregone conclusion, and now that the air force’s technical assessment is complete, the defense ministry may yet name a winner ahead of the election.
One senior European industry official believes that the F-X2 selection may not only be delayed but could also be reopened to new bidders once the new government takes office. However, Orlando Neto, who oversees Embraer’s defense efforts, is skeptical that would be the case. He notes that reversing course now would be too expensive, and the source selection-process has progressed too far for such a move.
The outlook also is changing for the Swiss fighter program. The government last year deferred a type selection until 2010, but in recent months questions have arisen over whether the program will move forward at all. The Swiss defense ministry has openly declared its interest in spending the money on other priorities.
However, industry officials say the Swiss government will now move forward with a type selection in September. Nevertheless, it is possible that the requirement will shift from merely replacing the F-5 to also include F/A-18s now in Swiss service.
Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing Military Aircraft, says: “We believe that they will still have to go through a public referendum. . . . We believe they will establish a new requirement that will allow us to reenter a new competition.”
Uncertainty is also creeping into the international fighter market by questions related to cost growth and schedule delays being encountered by the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Those issues are reverberating among prospective international buyers of the aircraft.
In the meantime, Boeing views a potential opening to promote its products in markets where the F-35 was seen as a shoo-in. Boeing already is competing against the F-35 (as well as the Gripen) in Denmark. But Kronenberg says he is “not convinced yet that everybody has bought into the F-35 program totally. We will see where it goes.”
Boeing hopes to convince potential buyers that its offerings, the F/A-18 in some markets and the F-15 in others, can meet customers’ needs at lower risk and more cheaply. “We are going to make a go of it,” he notes.
Meanwhile, the Middle East market remains among the hottest prospects. Dassault continues to court the United Arab Emirates; the Eurofighter Typhoon deal with Oman is also advancing. Boeing is trying to sway Qatar and Kuwait to consider F/A-18E/F purchases, with Typhoon also a likely candidate.
aqui la parte realmente interesante traducida gracias a word monkey
Political y programática está cambiando el suelo debajo de EE.UU. y Europa los constructores de aviones de combate mientras esperan los resultados de las competiciones en Asia, América Latina y Europa.
Japón es sólo un ejemplo de ello. Boeing, Lockheed Martin y el Eurofighter están a la espera del lanzamiento de una solicitud de propuestas para comprar un nuevo caza de sustituir sus F-4EJ Phantom.However, la agitación política interna que condujo a un cambio de gobierno, así como la controversia sobre el Cuerpo de Marines de EE.UU. base en Okinawa, ha llamado la atención en otra parte. Como resultado, el concurso de caza no puede comenzar hasta el próximo año o tal vez más adelante, dice Mark Kronenberg, vicepresidente de desarrollo de negocios internacionales para la actividad de defensa de Boeing.
El próximo año también pudo ver el surgimiento de otro contrato de combate de Corea del Sur. ejecutivos de Boeing ver este programa de potencial como el mejor candidato para un completo hasta F-15 Silencio Águila. Las naciones asociadas del Eurofighter también están viendo Seúl para ver si necesita un 40 a 60 aviones se plantea. Si lo hace, entonces el tifón entrará en la refriega.
ojala no entre el eurofighter, el silent eagle es prometedor y seria una lastima que le pasara igual que al sukhoi 47

y una pequeña contribucion no muy relacionada con el tema pero en cierta forma esta relacionada con el f15 se
la ultima por hoy, al parecer corea ya tiene una idea de que avionica le pondra como extra a sus eagle, y posiblemente al silent eagle
Corea del Sur suministrará indicadores en el parabrisas delantero para el caza estadounidense F-15 Eagle
Moscú, 1 de julio, RIA Novosti. La empresa surcoreana LIG Nex1 firmó con la estadounidense Rockwell Collins un contrato por $8,9 millones para suministrar a las fuerzas aéreas de cinco países, incluido EEUU, indicadores en el cristal del parabrisas delantero para el caza F-15 Eagle, comunicó hoy el semanario Defense News.
Los cazas estadounidenses F-15 integran actualmente los arsenales de las fuerzas aéreas de EEUU, Israel, Corea del Sur, Japón, Arabia Saudí y Singapur.
Desde 2004, LIG Nex1 produjo 140 indicadores en el cristal del parabrisas delantero, parte de los cuales fue instalada en los cazas surcoreanos F-15K. El consorcio estadounidense Boeing suministró en 2002 a Corea del Sur 40 aviones F-15K y en 2008, veinte más.
El indicador en el cristal del parabrisas delantero es un dispositivo que proyecta datos del ordenador de a bordo en el parabrisas delantero. De esta manera, el piloto tiene ante sus ojos la información necesaria y no tiene que distraerse para observar las indicaciones en el cuadro de instrumentos.
