  • Planned Acquisition of the F-35 Lightning II
    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.

  • Case Study BAE Systems Eurofighter Typhoon
    Executive Summary Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft. A highly agile aircraft, it is capable of ground-attack as well as air defence. With 620 aircraft on order, it is also the largest and most complex European military aviation project currently running. A collaboration between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, it is designed to meet air force requirements well into the 21st Century. Advanced electronics and state of the art onboard computers are critical to the Typhoon’s high performance and agility. These systems need to be safe, reliable and easily maintained over the estimated 25 year lifecycle of the aircraft. The Ada programming language was therefore the natural choice for Typhoon’s onboard computers. It provides a high-integrity, high-quality development environment with a well defined structure that is designed to produce highly reliable and maintainable real-time software. Typhoon is currently the largest European Ada project with over 500 developers working in the language. Tranche 1 of the project saw 1.5 million lines of code being created. BAE Systems is a key member of the Eurofighter consortium, responsible for a number of areas including the aircraft’s cockpit. As part of latest phase of the project (named “Tranche 2”) it needed a solution for host Ada compilation in the development of software for the Typhoon’s mission computers, as well as for desktop testing. BAE Systems selected GNAT Pro from AdaCore in 2002 for this mission-critical and safety-critical area of the project. AdaCore has been closely involved with the Ada language since its inception and was able to provide a combination of multi-language technology and world-leading support to BAE Systems.
