So it’s all internal but it can be used for more than just the “defensive” ECM your typical internal ESM suites is built for? Are there plans for “cooperative” EW?

Yes, there is a study plan called Tragedac so as to share sensors data in a sigle patrol.Purely defensive although.

BIO- interesting video

I thought one of the more telling exchanges occurred when the gentleman asked about the air to air weapons available to the F-35, there was considerable hedging in the answers considering the kinematics of the AIM-120. It is clear that there is an internal discussion going on as to the suitability of the AMRAAM as the principal air dominance weapon moving forward. This brings up a slew of questions as to how the defense industry is going to solve the question of improving the kinematics of the next generation of air to air weapons considering the space limitations on the F-22, and to a lesser extent the F-35. Anything larger than an AMRAAM sized missile is going to impact the number of missiles carried. Consider that the F-22 could only fit four AIM-120 until the clipped wing variant, and I don’t believe there has been a fit check on the suitability of the Meteor on the air to air station of the F-35 (hinting at a limitation on the size of weapon that station can carry). Clearly, if there is going to to be an increase in range/ and or/ burn time on the next ten air dominance weapon, it is going to have to have a HTK capability similar to the CUDA to fit a larger motor or ramjet in an AMRAAM sized airframe.

Apparently Meteor should be intgrated on F-35

Don’t be ridiculous, please.

Rapport de la Sous-commission TTE de la Commission de la politique de sécurité du 20 août 2012

VERY intersting report, thanks!
Clearly says that low cost otion was chosen.

And now Thomas urter, after what he said on phone is reliable?

Besides in conclusions, impact of E/F version is stated as “not sufficiently precise”.

I’m not talking about an armasuisse report (they weren’t all leaked, remember?), but I’m referring to the security commission report.
Ctrl-F “enorme” -> Section 4.4.3.

I guess you mean those reports made AFTER selection by a politic comittee?
“The not all linked argument is pretty faint, no?”

i dont deny that a single engine opearations costs should be lower than a twin engined, but enourmous so much look like a political argument…

That’s in the security commission report, that you have already carefully read (right? :dev2: ).

Yes but i’m ready to learn where it is in armasuisse report

Absolutely.
@rcolistete. The Swiss reports also says the operating costs of the evaluated aircraft show an “enormous difference” – I let you choose a definition of “enormous” (hint: probably “bigger than big”).

Where in the report? I’m curious :dev2:

personally i think its to help Stormshadow carriage as much as anything else, and that is looming as far as the UK is concerned.

Absolutely.To use stormshadow on shoulder point, EFT qould need 3-D thrust vectoring. So they need to use wet points and CFTs are a necessary (and positive) add on.

I never said you based your Research on his article, sorry if it came across as that, what I meant was that ” here’s a quote from an article” :). I only used the JPO quote from the article to show what the office had to say about the apparent discrepancy between the bogdan prediction (80-85 million) and the budget documents. Apparently the JPO head thinks they can save money over and above what is budgeted.

Giovanni is a honest person, why not tell him directly what you think?
