Rockwell Collins’ FireStormTM Targeting System Certified for use with F-35 Edwards AFB, California // April 21, 2015 A current and qualified Forward Air Controller (FAC) from the United Kingdom, using the Rockwell Collins FireStorm Integrated Targeting System, was the first to successfully guide an F-35 Lightning II aircraft digitally using a complete air strike mission thread in both a ground test and live flight. The flight test was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California, F-35 Lightning II flight test facility in coordination with the integrated project team from the U.K. F-35 Office. “The FAC approached the test from a practical standpoint and was able to use the system under simulated tactical conditions,” said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager of Surface Solutions for Rockwell Collins. “The test was also significant because FireStorm is currently fielded by the British Army, and has now been proven to be interoperable with the F-35.” The Rockwell Collins FireStorm Integrated Targeting System is a lightweight and modular Joint Fires system that provides proven digital connectivity with virtually all coalition aircraft, field artillery systems and command-and-control center battle managers. FireStorm systems are in operation around the world, and in use by five NATO countries.

On peut donc dire que Puisque l'objectif c'est 2022 et que le programme F-35 a tendance à rater ses objectifs.

On March 19 it wasn't such a big deal requiring "a contract later this year." Can't they get their story straight? But it doesn't really matter because the 2022 date still applies. http://warisaracket.org/text.html

Un MRTT c'est pas un KC 135, je verrais bien au moins 6 chasseurs par MRTT.

Le cablage existe car il a été reconduit du Breguet Atlantic où il servait pour emporter des Martel et des AS 12. Par contre si on les utilise il faut ouvrir le domaine de vol (l'aérodynamique de l'ATL2 est différente de celle de l'ATL1 du fait des ballons ESM en bout d'aile).

Comme dit un des Forumer c'est ALIS in wonderland!

Le marché du Rafale aurait encore été réduit.

Je préfère l'Egypte au Qatar, le Qatar je ne le sens pas.

Producing, Operating and Supporting a 5th Generation Fighter https://www.f35.com/about/fast-facts/cost

On Base: Testing and Maintaining the F-35 at the PAX ITF NAS Patuxent River, Maryland // March 27, 2015 A 5th Generation fighter jet like the F-35 cannot begin to help secure our skies without first being pushed to its limits in rigorous testing. This means putting the Lightning II through scorching heat, frigid cold, hard-impact landings on the decks of aircraft carriers and careful touchdowns on wet runways. Throughout the vast array of tests, engineers at Naval Air Station Patuxent River (PAX) Integrated Test Force (ITF) in Maryland constantly monitor each part of the jet to ensure that all of the systems work together as they should. Brittany, an early career engineer, is one of the many engineers supporting flight test activities at PAX. Brittany’s role in flight test heavily focuses on monitoring and improving how the F-35 engine and lift fan interface with the rest of the aircraft. The Pratt & Whitney engine—capable of generating up to 40,000 pounds of thrust—creates heat as a by-product of its power. As it is carefully nestled in the back of the jet and immediately surrounded by critical hardware, Brittany must constantly monitor the area during testing and ensure all thermal readings are within normal limits. On the B variant, she also helps verify that the drive shaft—which spins the lift fan—is functioning properly. Brittany’s daily work on these integral elements of the jet allow her to have a unique hand in the success of every F-35 Lightning II that she and the PAX team test. Each time they encounter an unexpected result or challenge, Brittany and the flight test team must innovate and adjust their approach to problem-solve in real time. “I know for every test point we complete, we are constantly expanding the envelope of what the fleet can do with this aircraft,” she offers. From Land to Sea With plans for the F-35 to fly in the diverse environmental homes of our international partners around world, testing of the aircraft is robust and covers every possible flight scenario. During her time at PAX, Brittany has had the opportunity to support three separate flight test detachments: the F-35B Developmental Test-2 (DT-2) aboard the USS Wasp, F-35B wet runway and crosswind testing at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) and most recently, F-35B climatic testing at Eglin AFB. “Supporting these detachments is one of my favorite parts of the job,” she offers with a smile. “It helps me shake it up a bit and gain new, valuable experiences.” Brittany’s three-week detachment to the USS Wasp for the second F-35B sea trials was by far her most unforgettable experience as a flight test engineer. “Working aboard a carrier for three weeks was a once in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she reflects. ”Looking back on it now it almost feels unreal—we were standing on deck not far from the aircraft, watching short takeoffs (STOs) and vertical landings (VLs). I feel incredibly lucky to have had that experience.” Brittany has also had her fair share of supporting various program firsts from the control room. She helped monitor test points during the first weapons separation, first vertical takeoff (VTO) and the first VL at night, both on land and at sea. Never a Dull Moment Brittany never imagined that this was the sort of hands-on work she would be doing just a few years out of school. “This is not at all what I imagined I would be involved in,” she reveals. “I thought I would be at a desk all day, working on some type of analysis or design for some tiny part. That is certainly a far cry from the dynamic work I do on the aircraft every day now.” “Dynamic” it certainly is. On a daily basis, Brittany works on everything from supporting flight test in the control room, which includes participating in mission briefs and debriefs, monitoring safety of test parameters and completing post-test activities. She can even find herself troubleshooting a problem on the aircraft, coordinating maintenance and regression activities, updating information on the screens used to monitor the aircraft in the control room, assisting in test planning or supporting an event at the Manned Flight Simulator. “I actually enjoy not always knowing what the day will bring,” she says. Brittany and her team constantly rise to the challenge of the unknown. After all, the goal of testing is to see how the aircraft behaves under different conditions and parameters. Any time an unexpected jet behavior occurs, it is the team on-site who must implement a solution in real time—and this is why the work of Brittany, her fellow flight test engineers and truly the whole team is instrumental in the success of the F-35. For Brittany, it is not only the work that she does, but also the team that she is a part of that makes her experience in flight test so rewarding. “The team at PAX is an extraordinary team. We are fully capable of pulling together and overcoming the challenging obstacles we face in order to meet program milestones to the best of our abilities—it’s excellent.”

C'est un sens que l'on accepte plus facilement, mais c'est pas le même sens que l'autre assertion. Je ne me prononçais pas sur la "vérité" de l'assertion elle même mais seulement sur son équivalence avec sa contraposée.

L'affirmation de la première proposition est contenue dans la deuxième sinon ce ne serait pas équivalent. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition_contrapos%C3%A9e

Non, Non, Saab a une équipe importante sur place qui attendait la conclusion du MMRCA pour proposer le Gripen à la place du Tejas, ... et vendre du nombre avec "Make in India" et tout et tout.

Cette vidéo de 1h 39 permet de confirmer pas mal d'informations mais ce qui m'a intéressé le plus c'est l'explication du général Bogdan donnée à 1h 27' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G6knYbFoAk&feature=player_detailpage Il explique la raison pour laquelle il n'y a pas encore de solution définitive à l'anomalie qui a entraîné l'incendie du 23 Juin dernier. En fait la modélisation utilisée pour concevoir le moteur est défaillante et ils ont besoin de la corriger pour pouvoir faire la nouvelle conception!

Pourtant "ce qui vole mal est laid" est la contraposée de "ce qui est beau vole bien" et donc c'est équivalent.

Bon vous croyez vraiment que tous les problèmes logiciels du F-35 vont être réglés d'ici le mois de Juin?

Il faut aussi écrire les simulations....et les tester!

Oui ça dépend, tu prendrait quelle hypothèse si tu devais faire un choix? Groundburst pour être sûr.

Vous prenez une carte d'Europe, vous placez dessus vos 60 points à peu près répartis, avec un peu plus de charges à l'ouest qu'a l'est. Vous imaginez que ce sont des explosions nucléaires et que les vents dominants vont d'Ouest en est. Et vous vous demandez où il faudrait aller pour avoir une chance de survivre.

Avec la moitié, il y a plus d'Europe.

Ils ne font pas que ça, il y a tout le reste à développer, c'est pour ça qu'on ne produit que 250 lignes. Au final ils développent une quantité relativement normale de logiciel. Le brouillage large zone c'est antinomique avec l'idée de furtivité, ils peuvent laisser ça à d'autres avions.
