The swiss evaluation had ten modules. The Rafale won the two flight modules (flight tests + projected flight capabilities). The Rafale also won the module about the ability to maintain a an alert status during a long period, and the module about military cooperation. For the noise pollution module, the three competitors had about the same score. These results are public: http://www.offiziere.ch/wp-content/uploads/TTE091202LaermBriefingD_08_40009428255.ppt&ei=b6AlT9XbKIm4-AbP6dylCQ&sig2=biVWMTEDO6Gybk02F2kV1w&ct=w This is also the case for the industrial cooperation module. EADS, Dassault and Saab had about the same score. But Saab has more contracts with Ruag, (100% state owned). The five other modules are unknown yet. But there is a financial module, a module about the "Eignung" (adequacy to Switzerland - infrastructure). I guess there were also weapon module and an avionics module. And a module about about aircraft maintenance Gripen won the financial module and the module about aircraft maintenance costs. These two scores allowed the Gripen to (just) reach the minimal note of 6/10. If you have any infos for me, please contact me at titus.plattner@edipresse.ch ReplyDelete
