US Govt authorized the export of APG-79 AESA to India: Boeing official
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/bus ... 18522.html
New Delhi, Feb 17 (IANS) The US government has “authorized” Boeing to offer a state-of-the-art radar with the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter that is vying for an Indian Air Force (IAF) order for 126 multi-role combat aircraft, the company said Sunday. However, whether or not the technology for the radar would also be transferred “is an issue for the US government to decide”, a Boeing official said.
He was clarifying remarks attributed earlier Sunday to Chris Chadwick, president of Precision Engagement and Mobility Systems of Boeing Integrated Defence Systems, that the technology for the AESA (Advanced Electronically Scanned Array) radar would also be transferred with that of the aircraft for licensed manufacture in India in case Boeing wins the IAF order.
The AESA radar enables the F-18 seamlessly shift into an AWACS (airborne warning and control system) mode while flying on a combat mission.
“I can confirm that we will be complying with all the requirements of the request for proposal (RFP) we have received from the Indian Air Force,” Chadwick told reporters earlier Sunday on the sidelines of the ongoing DEFEXPO-2008 international defence exposition here.
Transfer of technology and licensed manufacture in the country is mandated under India’s Defence Procurement Procedure enunciated in 2006. This procedure is now being fine-tuned in relation to the offsets clause under which 30 percent of all defence deals worth over Rs.3 billion have to be re-invested in India.
In the case of the IAF order, however, the offsets obligation has been raised to 50 percent.
“We have readied a fully compliant proposal (on the IAF tender) and will submit this three days early (against the March 3 deadline),” Chadwick said.
“We are very well positioned to establish a long-term relationship with the Indian Air Force and the ministry of defence,” he added.
Should Boeing win the IAF order, the aircraft would be supplied in four phases.
“In phase 0, we will supply 18 aircraft in fully assembled condition. In Phase 1, we will supply the aircraft in semi-knocked down condition with 1,800 parts and 300 tools,” said Mike Rietz, F-18 programme manager for India.
“In phase 2, the aircraft will come in completely knocked down condition with 17,000 parts and 1,000-plus tools. In phase 3, the aircraft and its entire range of 30,000 parts will be indigenously manufactured in India,” he added.
“In this way, we will gradually raise the level of technology that HAL (Hindustan Aircraft Ltd which will build the aircraft in India) will have to absorb,” Rietz explained.
The delivery schedule means that 108 of the 126 aircraft will be assembled in India, roughly half of them with Boeing-supplied parts while the balance would be totally built in this country.
“The RFP lays down that the first aircraft is supplied within 36 months of the contract being signed and the 18th within 48 months. The 19th aircraft, the first to be assembled in India, will come within 54 months.
“Thereafter, there will be an incremental increase with the last aircraft to be delivered by 2020,” Rietz said.
Espero que os demais consigam detalhar (memso superficialmente, para o publico) uma proposta de transferencia de tecnologia/producao de forma objetiva e sem enrolacao como esta, com objetos e prazos definidos.
Isso que chamei atenção outro dia. O F-X do jeito que vem sendo noticiado é coisa para 120 caças... 6 menos que a concorrência da India.
Se a FAB nao estiver batendo fofo, a proposta da Boeing nao devera ser muito distinta do ofertado a India.[/quote]
Ou poderia receber um proposta assim:
India invited to become a partner of the Eurofighter programme
Dated 30/4/2008
India is invited to join the Eurofighter programme as a new partner. This invitation was highlighted by Bernhard Gerwert, CEO of Military Air Systems, an integrated activity of EADS Defence & Security, during a high-level Eurofighter event in New Delhi on Thursday.
Gerwert said: "As part of our industrial cooperation offer, we invite India to become a member of the successful Eurofighter family. India is our partner of choice and we are interested in long-lasting political, industrial and military relations which will be based on a win-win partnership. Therefore the door is widely open for India." Gerwert explained to representatives of the Indian Ministry of Defence, the Indian Air Force, suppliers and media that the Eurofighter partners have intensive experiences in international cooperation because the combat aircraft is developed and manufactured as a quadronational programme from the very beginning.
Gerwert underlined that four nations, four air forces and the four leading European aerospace companies EADS, EADS Casa, BAE Systems and Alenia Finmeccanica fully support the Eurofighter campaign in India. Gerwert said: "We have a strong and committed international team and we will make sure that Eurofighter will be a major player in a fair and transparent competition." On behalf of the Eurofighter consortium and the industrial partners, EADS will deliver the Eurofighter bid proposal for the Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition in India on 28 April 2008.
The requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP) concerning transfer of technology, license production and 50 percent offset are challenging, however, Gerwert pointed out: "We are ready to meet these challenges and we will satisfy the expectations of our customer. Our team is working extremely hard in order to meet these requirements." As a fast growing and dynamic country, India is not only regarded as a market but most importantly as a partner for joint industrial and military projects in the future. As a recent example, EADS Defence & Security and TATA announced in February 2008 to join forces for the Indian Army's US $1 billion Tactical Communications System.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is fully operational in four countries. With more than 700 orders from six customers (Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Austria, Saudi Arabia), the Eurofighter Typhoon is a mature and stabile combat aircraft programme. Most impressive key feature of the Eurofighter Typhoon is its multi- and swing-role capability, which provides military commanders with enormous flexibility. This means that the aircraft can fly either air-to-air or air-to-ground missions or both sorties at the same time. In terms of weapons payload, the aircraft is capable of carrying six air-to-air missiles plus additional air-to-surface weapons such as Paveway II or GBU-10/-16, or external fuel tanks on seven further hard points. Another operational benefit is the installation of the electronic warfare equipment in the wing tips without sacrificing external stores capacity.
Thanks to these air-to-ground and air-to-air capabilities, the Eurofighter Typhoon has proven itself as an awesome operational weapon system which combines advanced technology with world-class performance. The combat aircraft provides highest levels of mission effectiveness for all scenarios and a broad range of mission flexibility. In addition, its air-to-air refuelling capability extends mission duration and range. Therefore, the Eurofighter Typhoon is indeed outstanding regarding its agility, capability and flexibility to meet the challenges of fast-changing operational scenarios.
