Un nuovo studio dell'Air Force chiede: qual è il numero giusto di F-35 da acquistare? :scratch:
A new tactical aircraft study underway could make certain what has until now been a suspicion: The U.S. Air Force is unlikely to purchase all of the 1,763 F-35A jets in its program of record.
The service is undertaking the study as it readies its fiscal 2023 budget and grapples with reducing the types of fighters it flies from seven to four main platforms by 2030, as prescribed by the service’s chief of staff.
The four platforms could include:
*The sixth-generation Next Generation Air Dominance system, or NGAD, which will supersede the F-22.
* The F-35A Joint Strike Fighter, which will make up the preponderance of the fleet.
* The F-15EX, which will replace much of the existing F-15 inventory.
* And either the F-16 or its replacement.
That last decision is the most significant for the F-35 program.
The Air Force’s original plan was to purchase enough F-35s to supersede all of its F-16s.
So if the Air Force keeps the F-16 - or develops a separate low-cost replacement for part of the F-16 fleet - does it need to buy as many F-35s?

USAF Chief: New F-35 Engine Development Needed, Even Without Commitment To Buy ...
Brian Everstine (AW&ST) - September 08, 2021

The continued research and development for a possible F-35 engine replacement is needed, even without a commitment to replace the current F135 powerplant, so the U.S. Air Force can keep the option open and the technology evolving, the top service general said Sept. 8.
Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., speaking during a Defense News virtual conference, said eventually there will be a “fork in the road” when the service needs to decide if there will be a second engine for its F-35 fleet, “but the value of actually continuing the research and development is important so we do have options in the future.”
Since 2016, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center has been conducting the Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) to demonstrate three-stream engines.
The competition is between Pratt & Whitney’s XA101 and GE Aviation’s XA100 designs, which could be added to F-35s or the future Next Generation Air Dominance system.
Brown and new Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall have reviewed the ongoing effort and decided “if we stopped the R&D … we basically shut ourselves off from having an option to go forward, and so this is why it’s important for us to continue research and development on this particular capability.”
The House Armed Services Committee (HASC), in its markup of the 2022 defense policy bill approved Sept. 2, calls on the Pentagon to approve the use of the AETP on the F-35A.
The bill specifically calls on the Defense Department to outline an acquisition strategy for development, integration, and operational fielding of the new propulsion system on to the Air Force’s F-35A fleet starting in fiscal 2027.
The AETP engine is not a requirement for the F-35 yet, but the Joint Program Office has said it is following the development for possible Joint Strike Fighter use.
Meanwhile, Pratt is also proposing a series of upgrades to its F135 engine to improve fuel efficiency while also bettering thrust.
Kendall, in a recent interview with Air Force Magazine, said the service is following “some technologies that could go into future upgrades that could reduce some of the operational costs, such as fuel, significantly,” but added he was not ready to commit to those.
The same HASC bill also outlines a plan to link the total number of F-35s in the Pentagon’s fleet to sustainment costs, cutting tails from the overall force size if the jets remain expensive to operate.
Brown said what Congress is trying to do is in line with Air Force plans.
“We are all committed to the same thing - to make it affordable and to make the sustainment costs more reasonable, and so that is a focus for us,” Brown said.
“The language from Congress is really in line with what we’re trying to get done.”

Ancora a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... parla General Electric ...
Engine makers should be able to meet House defense policy bill language calling for a new F-35 powerplant based on the Adaptive Engine Transition Program by 2027, but only for the conventional takeoff versions, a GE Aviation executive said.
“We would be eager to step up to the challenge to meet the 2027 deadline” that the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act included, David Tweedie, general manager for advanced combat systems at GE Aviation, said in a Sept. 10 interview, adding that doing so is “certainly within the art of the possible.”
He said, “We were encouraged by both the direction [to the Joint Program Office] to provide a transition plan, as well as authorization for an additional $257 million of funding above the President’s Budget request, so we are encouraged on all those counts.”
After $4 billion in investment by the Air Force, through several successive technology programs, GE is in the final stages of testing its XA100 engine and Pratt & Whitney is also testing its XA101.
The AETP program is a risk-reduction effort designed to make sure the technology is available if the Air Force wants to move on to a new powerplant for its fighters.
Tweedie said the plan was always to develop an engine that could be applied to the F-35 at mid-life, and other, future aircraft, but not as a retrofit to the F-15, F-16, or F-22.
The AETP engines were “optimized to the F-35 … from the beginning,” he said.
However, the AETP engine will not be able to power the F-35B, the short takeoff/vertical landing version of the Lightning II, Tweedie said.

Ancora a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... le alternative proposte da Pratt & Whitney ...
Modifications Pratt & Whitney is proposing to its F135 engine can improve thrust and efficiency and would be far less costly than giving the F-35 fighter a new powerplant developed through the Adaptive Engine Transition Program, the engine maker said.
Jennifer Latka, Pratt & Whitney’s vice president for the F135 engine program, said the AETP technology is not compatible with the Marine Corps’ F-35B.
That would necessitate two different alternative engines for F-35.
The whole effort could add up to $40 billion over the 50-year life of the program, she said in an interview with Air Force Magazine.
The House version of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act would require the F-35 Joint Program Office to pursue a strategy to incorporate an AETP engine into the F-35 fleet beginning in 2027.
Congressional sources said one of the goals is to drive down the cost of F-35 engines by creating a competitor to Pratt & Whitney.
GE, which is high on the AETP technology, is eager to offer its XA100 as an alternative.
Pratt, owned by Raytheon Technologies, has also developed an AETP engine, the XA101.

Per la prima volta la Difesa conferma, in un documento pubblico ufficiale, l'acquisizione di 90 F-35 per le Forze Armate italiane.
Nel DPP 2021 viene, difatti, ufficializzato l’avvio della Fase 2B che prevede l'acquisizione di 35 velivoli – che, aggiungendosi, ai 28 della Fase 1 ed ai 27 della Fase 2A, porta il totale, appunto, a 90 esemplari – ad un costo complessivo fino al 2031 di 7 miliardi di euro.

Ancora a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... la discussione continua ... e si prospetta che gli eventuali costi di sviluppo, integrazione e installazione del motore AETP sui velivoli in grado di riceverlo debbano essere a carico esclusivo dell'ente utilizzatore ...
The Air Force would have to bear the full development and integration cost of putting new Adaptive Engine Technology Program engines in its F-35 fleet because the other services can’t fit the powerplants in their versions of the fighter, F-35 Program Executive Officer Lt. Gen. Eric T. Fick told reporters Sept. 15.
“If it’s a one-service, … unique solution, the cost of that solution will be borne by that service,” Fick said.
Asked if moving forward with the AETP on the F-35 will depend on whether the Air Force is willing to bear that cost, he replied, “I think so.”
The Air Force could go it alone on the AETP, he said.
But the longstanding agreement among F-35 partners is that “you have to pay to be different.”
Fick, speaking at a roundtable with defense reporters in his Arlington, Va., office, said he has visited GE Aviation’s Evendale, Ohio, plant to see its XA100 version of the AETP engine and came away “very impressed” and “energized” by the effort.
Pratt & Whitney’s version of the AETP is called the XA101.
Pratt & Whitney is the sole builder of the F-35’s F135 engine.

Si stanno compiendo progressi nell'integrazione di missili SPEAR e Meteor sugli F-35 britannici e italiani ...
BAE Systems and MBDA have secured additional funding to complete the development and integration of next generation weapons capabilities on the UK and Italian F-35 fleets.
This builds on the successful integration work that commenced in 2019 by BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and MBDA to upgrade the UK F-35 weapon systems.
The award will see industry teams complete integration activities for the SPEAR precision surface attack weapon onto the UK F-35s, with the next-generation missile enhancing the UK’s future combat air capability through its network-enabled, high load-out, multi-effect capabilities with extended stand-off range.
This will further enhance the UK Lightning Force’s capability to defeat challenging targets such as mobile long-range air defence systems at over-the-horizon ranges in all weathers and in highly contested environments.
The funding will also see the remainder of the integration of MBDA’s Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile completed on both the F-35A and F-35B jets for the UK and Italian armed forces.
Meteor’s networking and range capability is ideally suited to the F-35’s sensor suite to provide unrivalled capabilities in the battlespace.
A team of engineers from BAE Systems, MBDA and Lockheed Martin will now commence the testing, simulation and integration activities in the UK and US, to achieve initial operating capability of both weapons.

Lockheed Martin and the F-35 Joint Program Office delivered the 700th production F-35.
With more than 700 F-35s now delivered to U.S. and international operators, the impact of the global fleet is far reaching – significantly enhancing the allied joint force.
As the F-35 fleet grows, so too does the alliance-based force needed to deter or defeat near-peer competitors.
As Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall noted last week, “we need to move toward things that are more relevant to the fights we have to deter and, if necessary, win.”
The F-35 is both the cornerstone of the fleet and a strategic deterrent.

For more than two decades, a joint program office has overseen the development, acquisition, and sustainment of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
In the next few years, at least part of that could change.
The Senate Armed Services Committee released its markup of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act on Sept. 22, and in the bill, the panel called for the Department of Defense to transfer sustainment management to the military services for their respective variants by no later than Oct. 1, 2027.
As part of the provision, the Pentagon would be required to submit to Congress by February 2022 a plan for making such a transition, in which the Air Force would be responsible for the F-35A and the Navy for the F-35B and F-35C.

Ancora a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... la discussione continua ...
Ora P&W enumera le possibilità che il proprio motore AETP può offrire al velivolo ...
Pratt & Whitney is testing its new XA101 Adaptive Engine Transition Program powerplant, and expects to conclude testing its two examples by the end of next year, company military engines division president Matthew Bromberg revealed in an interview.
He expects that two-thirds of the technology developed from AETP could find its way into earlier engines now flying with the Air Force.
The company is “thrilled” to have two options available for the Air Force and F-35 partners to choose from for an upgrade to the fighter’s propulsion system, Bromberg said.
GE Aviation has developed the XA100 AETP engine as a competitor to Pratt’s version.
Testing of “our first new fighter engine in 30 years … was successful,” Bromberg said.
The first XA101 and its twin will shuttle back and forth between Pratt’s facilities and the Air Force’s Arnold Engineering Center in Tullahoma, Tenn., for the next year or so, generating more data.
The Air Force and F-35 Joint Program Office will use the data to help decide whether the F-35 should get an all-new powerplan - one of the AETP engines - or take Pratt up on its offer of an enhanced version of the F135 engine already in the F-35 fighter.
Pratt succeeded in achieving the AETP’s goals, which were to obtain 10 percent improvement in thrust and 25 percent improvements in both fuel efficiency and thermal management, Bromberg said.
“We know we can do that,” he said.

American deterrence efforts came one step closer to a critical new level when the Air Force proved a stealth fighter is capable of delivering a tactical nuclear weapon inside hostile territory, Air Combat Command confirmed Oct. 4 (*).
The F-35A is the first fifth-generation fighter to near certification as a nuclear-capable platform after completing the first full weapon system demonstration and completing the nuclear design certification process.
During the demonstration, two F-35s dropped B61-12 Joint Test Assemblies (JTAs), which mimic a real-world tactical gravity nuclear weapon, at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.

La Turchia, estromessa da tempo dal programma JSF, intende ora chiedere un risarcimento miliardario agli Stati Uniti ...
Turkey intends to seek compensation for its removal from a U.S.-led stealth fighter jet program, possibly during a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on the margins of a Group of 20 meeting next month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
Erdogan, speaking to journalists during a flight back from a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, also said there would be no “turning back” from deal with Russia for Turkey’s acquisition of S-400 advanced missile defense systems.
That deal led to NATO-member Turkey’s removal from the international program that produces F-35 fighter jets.
Erdogan said he hoped to meet Biden at the G-20 meeting in Rome to discuss the F-35 project, including a $1.4 billion payment Turkey had made before its ouster from the program.
Another meeting between the Turkish and U.S. leaders could also take place on the sidelines of a November climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, Erdogan said.

Turkey has made a request to the U.S. to buy 40 Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighter jets and nearly 80 modernization kits for its existing warplanes, as the NATO ally looks to modernize its Air Force after the purchase of F-35 jets fell through, sources familiar with the matter said.
The deal, worth billions, is still working its way through the Foreign Military Sales process which is subject to approval by the U.S. State Department as well as the U.S. Congress which can block deals.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the deal.
"As a matter of policy, the Department does not confirm or comment on proposed defense sales or transfers until they have been formally notified to Congress," a spokesperson for the State Department said.
The Turkish Embassy in Washington declined to comment.

Appello bipartisan al Presidente Biden ...
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is urging the White House to fully fund the F-35 Lightning II program in the coming years.
But Senate appropriators are raising concerns about maintenance challenges facing the advanced fifth-generation fighter, and this week questioned the need to buy more F-35s right now.
In a Wednesday letter to President Biden (*), 89 lawmakers, including Reps. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said the United States needs to keep investing in F-35s in the fiscal 2023 Defense Department budget request and the Future Years Defense Plan.
Veasey and Turner are co-chairs of the congressional Joint Strike Fighter Caucus.
The Pentagon needs to buy at least 100 F-35s for the U.S. military each year, invest in advanced capabilities to stay ahead of threats from adversaries and provide enough funding to sustain the aircraft for decades, the lawmakers wrote in the letter, though they did not spell out specific funding levels.

Ancora a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... interviene Greg Hayes, Amministratore Delegato di Raytheon Technologies, che sostiene che l'Air Force potrebbe non essere in grado di permettersi un nuovo motore per l'aereo ...
The Air Force may decide that it can’t afford to build an entirely new, advanced engine for its F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, the Raytheon Technologies chief executive said Tuesday.
In 2016, the Air Force awarded Raytheon-owned Pratt & Whitney and General Electric Aviation each a billion-dollar contract to develop a new F-35A engine under the Adaptive Engine Transition Program.
This engine is intended to deliver better fuel efficiency and thrust by using a third stream of air.
However, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said in a call with analysts Tuesday morning paying for the new adaptive engine will be a “tough putt” for the Air Force.
Because the adaptive engine could not be used in the F-35B, the Marine Corps’ vertical takeoff and landing variant or the Navy’s carrier-based F-35C, Hayes said the Air Force would bear its entire development cost.
GE said on its website that while its engine is still in testing, it has been designed to be used in both the F-35A and F-35C variants.

La portaerei ?

...
Perché un Paese come l’Italia dovrebbe aver bisogno di 2 portaerei?
Semplice: perché ciò significherebbe averne sempre una disponibile e farsi trovare in ogni momento pronti per una crisi, in uno scenario sempre più incerto, complesso e pericoloso.
Ad oggi l’Italia ha una portaerei ... e mezzo.
Al Cavour, infatti, bisogna aggiungere la LHD TRIESTE, unità d’assalto anfibio dotata dello skijump per operare con gli F-35B.
Il ponte del TRIESTE è già stato “trattato” per operare con il velivolo, ma all’unità manca ancora tutta la parte software e logistica – il sistema ALIS/ODIN ed il sistema JPALS – che consente l’integrazione con l’F-35B.

Nuovamente a proposito della possibilità di una futura rimotorizzazione degli F-35 ... General Electric sponsorizza il proprio prodotto ...
If you want more power, you pay by giving up range.
Want more range?
It’s going to cost you in power.
Each generation of jet engines has dealt with this unbreakable rule.
But maybe there really is another way to meet that challenge.
GE’s work in the Air Force’s Adaptive Engine Technology Program overcomes that inherent trade-off by incorporating the ability to change the power dynamics on the fly.
Its XA100 engine can reconfigure itself in flight to produce power of greater efficiency.

Stati Uniti, Turchia, F-35 e la discussa richiesta di acquisto degli F-16 ... le schermàglie continuano ...
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told journalists on his return home from the G20 summit in Rome on Oct. 31 that President Joe Biden had told Erdogan that Biden would do “his best” to help usher through a $6 billion sale of F-16 fighters and modernization kits, according to reports.
A much-anticipated meeting between Biden and Erdogan comes after months of tension regarding Turkey’s possession and use of the Russian S-400 missile defense system.
Speculation remains that Turkey will turn to further Russian military sales, to include fighter planes, after the NATO ally was officially kicked out of the F-35 program in September over concerns the S-400 would be used to study vulnerabilities in the fifth-generation fighter.
A State Department spokesperson declined to comment further Nov. 2, referring questions to the White House.
The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry.

Sulla richiesta della Turchia agli Stati Uniti di una fornitura di caccia F-16 nuovi ... il potente Senatore Menendez dice NO ...
Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Bob Menendez opposes Turkey’s proposal to buy F-16s and modernization kits, calling for human rights improvements first even as the NATO ally is threatening to deepen its ties with the Russian defense industry.
“I personally am not supportive of giving them F-16s,” Menendez told Air Force Magazine during a visit to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
“I just really have a problem,” he said.
“This is not the Turkey that we aspire for, is not the type of NATO ally that is behaving in a way that we should be able to go ahead and give it some of the most sophisticated fighting equipment.”
At issue are Turkey’s human rights record and foreign policy positions.
Menendez said Turkey has jailed more lawyers and journalists “than almost any place in the world.”

La vendita degli F-35 agli Emirati Arabi Uniti ... non sembra essere un affare semplice ...
These are some of the pressure points involved in negotiations between the United Arab Emirates and the United States as the former seeks a fleet of F-35 aircraft.
But buying what is arguably the most advanced fighter jet involves more than a simple commercial transaction; it’s like “renewing the marriage vows” between Abu Dhabi and Washington, said Danny Sebright, president of the U.S.-UAE Business Council.
That has put the UAE at a crossroads: renew its military vows with the U.S. or turn eastward toward Russia and China.

Il "quarterback dei cieli" ...
... l’F-35 Lightning II, nelle sue tre versioni, è più di un caccia, è un potente moltiplicatore di forza con sensori avanzati e suite di comunicazione che migliorano le capacità delle piattaforme aeree, di superficie e terrestri collegate in rete, condividendo informazioni critiche nelle operazioni nello spazio di battaglia JADo (Joint-All Domain).

Nave Trieste ...
Imminenti i lavori al molo Varicella I destinato ad ospitarla ...
Ha ospitato Nave Cavour, ospiterà anche Nave Trieste.
Il molo Varicella I presso lo scalo di San Vito, all’interno dell’arsenale marittimo della Marina Militare, andrà presto sotto i ferri per adeguarsi alla nuova unità e in vista della consegna alla forza armata.
Sarà in particolare il lato Sud, quello lato mare, a venire ritoccato per poter ormeggiare la nave anfibia multiruolo che dovrebbe entrare in servizio nel corso del 2022.
Al momento il Trieste si trova presso lo stabilimento Fincantieri del Muggiano per il completamento.
Lo scafo, costruito a Castellammare di Stabia, è entrato nel golfo la prima volta nel gennaio dello scorso anno.
Ad agosto le prime prove in mare, una tappa a Palermo per lavori di carenaggio e poi il ritorno alla Spezia per l’allestimento.

Caro Valerio ... ti ringrazio per il tuo (raro) intervento, ma, in tutta franchezza, non riesco ad afferrarne il senso.
Il primo link si apre su un articolo risalente ad oltre un anno fa ... il secondo mi porta invece ad una pagina occupata da una finestra contenente l'invito ad abbonarmi a "bloomberg" ad un prezzo che, oserei dire, non mi sembra abbordabile ... e, nel momento in cui riesco a superarla, mi vengo a trovare nella homepage del sito con i titoli di oggi e non nella pagina che intendevi effettivamente linkare.
Può anche darsi che ciò dipenda dalle mie scarse competenze informatiche :oops:
Comunque sia ... non pensi che, nel frattempo, quei problemi che affliggevano allora il velivolo possano essere stati risolti?
Mi sembra che, al momento attuale, si sia scatenata una vera e propria corsa al suo acquisto da parte di alcuni paesi europei ... nonostante tutti i suoi difetti ... reali o presunti che siano ...

Bye ...

La vendita degli F-35 agli Emirati Arabi Uniti ...
Gli Stati Uniti rimangono "pienamente impegnati" ...
The U.S. remains “fully committed” to a proposed sale of advanced F-35 stealth fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates, despite the Biden administration slowing down the deal, a senior American official overseeing arms exports said Tuesday.
Mira Resnick, a deputy U.S. assistant secretary of state in the Biden administration, also told the Associated Press at the Dubai Air Show that Gulf Arab partners are not looking to purchase weapons from Russia as a hedge over American concerns about human rights in the region.
A high-level Russian delegation met Tuesday with Abu Dhabi’s powerful crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, at the air show, which prominently featured Moscow’s competitor to the F-35, the Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate.

Parrebbe per ora di no...
la sensazione è che la Lockheed Martin si sia messa in un vicolo cieco eccedendo con la quantità di ruoli che versioni con moltissime parti comuni di una stessa piattaforma si troveranno a dover gestire.
E che la potenza del marketing, chiamiamolo così visto che non siamo soli davanti a un (piccolo) prosecchino ma in luogo pubblico, degli americni riesca ugualmente ad imporlo.
Le sue caratteristiche di interoperabilità e connettività fra vari aerei e fra aerei e Awacs sono il futuro, come gli "otto cubano" dei biplani della WWI sono il passato. Ma a me resta la sensazione che sarebbe il caso, dovendo avere piattaforme del genere, di acquistarne solo d'occasione dagli israeliani... dopo che loro ci avranno messo le mani. Loro non possono ragionare in termini solo di ritorni di impresa marketing e rapporti geopolitici. Loro devono avere PER FORZA aerei che funzionano, e anche bene. Per noi, su un altro piano in altra epoca e su altra scala, si rischia un "grande affare" come lo è stato l'F104 per la Luftwaffe... se non dilazioniamo un po' gli acquisti e non lasciamo maturare il progetto.

Boh ... sarà ...
A me gli acquisti italiani sembra siano già parecchio dilazionati nel tempo.
Quanto ad acquistare velivoli di seconda mano da Israele ... la prendo come una battuta ironica, per non dire fantapolitica ...

Bye ...

Certo che era ironica... ma basata sulla differenza che passa nell'approccio fra nazioni che si preparano per conflitti che sperano di non dover mai combattere ed un'altra che sa di non potersi permettere seri flaws perché potrebbero essere facilmente sfruttati molto presto dagli avversari...
