    Chapter 4 Acquisition timeline and potential alternatives Introduction 4.1 This chapter considers the F-35A acquisition schedule, the risk of the creation of a capability gap should there be further delays to the acquisition timeline, and potential alternatives to the F-35A. Acquisition schedule 4.2 Defence advised the committee that the 'F-35 Program schedule is structured to address the resources required to deliver a highly technical and complex program' and that, as a result, the System Development and Demonstration phase is 'characterised by a concurrent design and production model'. Defence explained that 'this level of concurrency has introduced some risk' to the Program, demonstrated by the Program re-baselining and issues that have become evident during test and evaluation. 1 Defence noted that software development is 'effectively complete' and is now the 'main focus of the ongoing test and evaluation program'. Defence advised that, as at January 2016, the final software build had completed 50 per cent of baseline test points, but that 'significant test points are yet to be undertaken and issues found will need to be rectified'.2 4.3 Defence advised that the F-35 Program schedule has 'stabilised' since the re- baselining in 2012, with 'any movements being managed through schedule margins built into the Program'. However, 'completion of the test and evaluation program and ensuring the required warfighting capability at the completion of the System Development and Demonstration phase carries schedule risk that will need to be carefully

  • R&T Activities on Composite Structures
    PUBLIC RELEASE R&T activities on composite structures for existing and future military A/C platforms at Airbus DS, Military Aircraft Mircea Calomfirescu, Rainer Neumaier, Thomas Körwien, Kay Dittrich Airbus Defence and Space GmbH Rechliner Str. 1 85077 Manching GERMANY [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper gives a short overview on the state of the art in composite aerostructures for civil and military aircraft. Major challenges are highlighted in this context and the requirements from military aircraft point of view are illustrated, derived from existing and future military aircraft perspectives. The main objective of the paper is to present the R&T activities in the aerostructure research program called FFS, advanced aerostructures. The activities range here from structural bonding, advanced radomes, new thermoplastic composite technologies and new materials and structures for low observability purposes. A brief insight is given to each of the topic highlighting the challenges and approaches, finishing with a summary of future trends and emerging technologies. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Composites offer several advantages over metallic aerostructures in civil as well as in military aircraft industry including reduced weight, less maintenance effort and costs due to “corrosion-free” composites and a superior fatigue behaviour compared to aluminium. The thermal expansion is much less and the material waste (“buy to fly ratio”) is more advantageous compared to aluminium structures. However, these advantages come along with higher material and manufacturing costs. For the prepreg technology for example the material has to be stored at -18°C, energy and investment intensive autoclaves are necessary and for quality assurance 100% non-destructive testing (NDT) is required in contrast to aluminium structures.

  • Joint Press Release
    Joint Press Release Demonstrator phase launched: Future Combat Air System takes major step forward @AirbusDefence @dassault_onair @MTUaeroeng @Safran @ThalesGroup Paris/ Munich, 12 February 2020 – The governments of France and Germany have awarded Dassault Aviation, Airbus, together with their partners MTU Aero Engines, Safran, MBDA and Thales, the initial framework contract (Phase 1A), which launches the demonstrator phase for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). This framework contract covers a first period of 18 months and initiates work on developing the demonstrators and maturing cutting-edge technologies, with the ambition to begin flight tests as soon as 2026. Since early 2019, the industrial partners have been working on the future architecture as part of the programme’s so called Joint Concept Study. Now, the FCAS programme enters into another decisive phase with the launch of the demonstrator phase. This phase will, in a first step, focus on the main technological challenges per domains: Next Generation Fighter (NGF), with Dassault Aviation as prime contractor and Airbus as main partner, to be the core element of Future Combat Air System, Unmanned systems Remote Carrier (RC) with Airbus as prime contractor and MBDA as main partner, Combat Cloud (CC) with Airbus as prime contractor and Thales as main partner, Engine with Safran and MTU as main partner. A Simulation Environment will be jointly developed between the involved companies to ensure the consistency between demonstrators. The launch of the Demonstrator Phase underlines the political confidence and determination of the FCAS partner nations and the associated industry to move forward and cooperate in a fair and balanced manner.
