Mas se vc acha que foi apenas marketing, para que diabos o Brigadeiro disse que tem a participação dos EUA?
E isso é demérito ao programa? Não são todos aliados militares próximos?
Vá entender sua lógica...
Também achei isso muito estranho, porque pelo que se falou, a Boieng entraria no programa Meteor só para integrar ele ao F-18E, porque não existe qualquer informação recente de que o Meteor tenha participação dos EUA, é um programa europeu.

Se o Brigadeiro citou a Boeing, a participação deve continuar.
Por exemplo, o míssil Brimstone é um desenvolvimento conjunto Boeing-MBDA.
Boeing Signs Agreement With Meteor Missile Team
LONDON, Oct. 20, 1999 -- Boeing has become the U.S. partner on the Matra-BAe Dynamics Meteor missile team that is pursuing the United Kingdom Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM) program.
Officials from Matra-BAe Dynamics and Boeing announced today in London the signing of an agreement that will give the Meteor team access to Boeing expertise in areas such as systems and aircraft integration, and advanced manufacturing techniques.
In addition, Boeing will serve as the marketing lead for potential future sales to the United States and other markets as agreed upon by the Meteor team.
Mike Boyce, vice president, international business development for Boeing Military Aircraft and Missile Systems, said Boeing participation on the Meteor team is an opportunity to grow revenues and is an important step in U.S. and European industries working together.
"We see our participation on Meteor as an opportunity to expand our business, apply our core competencies of large-scale systems integration, and pursue trans-Atlantic relationships," said Boyce. "We are excited about the opportunity of contributing to the Meteor team to ensure our U.K. and other future customers receive the best solution for their requirements."
Matra-BAe Dynamics is a 50/50 joint venture between British Aerospace and Aerospatiale Matra.
"Boeing involvement in Meteor provides a tremendous opportunity for high-tech transatlantic cooperation and will further strengthen the Meteor team, achieving better value for the money for our customers," said MBD chief executive Fabrice Bregier.
The Meteor team consists of MBD, Alenia Marconi Systems, Dasa's LFK, CASA and Saab Dynamics.
Boeing, the largest aerospace company in the world, is a global leader in producing affordable, quality weapon systems and is a world leader in aircraft-weapons integration.
Boeing also is a market leader in precision-guided munitions with the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) program, and is a leader in strike weapons with the Harpoon, Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM) and SLAM Expanded Response, Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missile (CALCM) and the AGM-130.
Other Boeing weapons programs include the Longbow-Hellfire launcher and the U.K.'s Brimstone programs.

U.K. Decisions on C-17, Meteor Build Upon Britain-Boeing Ties
ST. LOUIS, May 16, 2000 -- The United Kingdom government's selection of the Boeing C-17 for its strategic airlift requirement and the Meteor air-to-air missile system for its fleet of Eurofighters builds upon the strong relationship between Britain and Boeing, a Boeing executive said today.
"We are very gratified by the decisions made by the U.K. government for its airlift capability and its long-range air-to-air missile requirements," said Jerry Daniels, president of Boeing Military Aircraft and Missile Systems. "The United Kingdom is a strategically important marketplace for The Boeing Company, and we are committed to providing the highest quality solutions for our customers and to continuing our strong relationships with U.K. industry."
The U.K. Ministry of Defense announced its intention to lease four C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft for the Royal Air Force, beginning in 2001. Maintenance support and aircraft training initially will be handled by the U.S. Air Force and Boeing.
"The C-17 provides a unique set of capabilities that no other airlifter can match. I am very proud of the efforts of the government-industry integrated product team approach that allowed us to put together a cost-effective solution for our RAF customer," Daniels said. "This integrated effort is based on the strong working relationships that have been developed among the Ministry of Defense, the RAF, the U.K. aerospace industry, and also our U.S. Air Force customer."
Boeing is the U.S. member of the Meteor missile team, which is led by the Anglo-French joint venture, Matra BAe Dynamics. Meteor is a ramjet-powered missile with advanced seeker technology that can fly at sustained high speeds, over long ranges and with great agility to defeat airborne threats.
"We look forward to strengthening our trans-Atlantic ties by being an important contributor to the Meteor program for the U.K. and other customers," Daniels said.
Boeing ties with the U.K. aerospace market go back more than 40 years. Boeing currently does business with more than 225 U.K. companies and accounts for more than 40,000 U.K. jobs on an annual basis. Boeing is Britain's third-largest export market, behind only the countries of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
