Singapore is upgrading its Boeing AH-64D Apache attack helicopters with new mission systems, apparently as a midlife update for the type. The upgrading program involves equipping Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) aircraft with helicopter integrated electronic warfare systems (HIEWS) to enhance survivability and satellite communications for more robust communications, the Singapore defense ministry says. “The ministry and the Singapore Armed Forces [have] always taken a rigorous and prudent approach in planning for our defense needs and will equip sufficient helicopters to meet Singapore’s defense

requirements,” the agency said. But the government did not identify the makers of the equipment or say how much the upgrades will cost. The program is expected to be completed over the next few years, the ministry said in response to media queries after photographs of an RSAF Apache with new bumps and antennae were widely shared on social media.

Israeli air force leaning toward upgraded F-15 over F-35 for next fighter jet acquisition 2018 - 01 - 30 -

www.haaretz.com

The Israel Air Force is to decide in a few months between purchasing a third squadron of F-35 fighter jets or the F-15I, which, while less advanced, has other advantages. The acquisition requires the approval of the General Staff and a ministerial committee, but the recommendation of the air force generally carries the day. IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin, who reportedly is leaning toward the F-15, is to submit a recommendation in May. Israel and the United States agreed last year on the purchase of 50 F-35 fighters, two squadrons, from Lockheed Martin, with delivery completed by 2024. Nine jets have been delivered so far, and the IAF recently announced that they have reached initial operational capability. The rapid aging of the IAF’s current fleet makes the new purchases necessary. The air force is still using some fighter planes bought in... Lire la suite

Pentagon ‘can’t afford the sustainment costs‘ on F-35, Lord says 2018 - 02 - 03 -

www.defensenews.com

Sustainment costs on the F-35 are poised to become unaffordable, and that’s a big challenge for Ellen Lord, the Pentagon’s newly christened undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment. As a result, Lord is focused on testing new business and data processes on the fifth-generation stealth fighter, including leveraging big data analytics for sustainment purposes. “Right now, we can’t afford the sustainment costs we have on the F-35. And we’re committed to changing that,” Lord told reporters at a Jan. 31 roundtable, adding that the plane is the “most significant” program in the Department of Defense. The A&S head described the jet as an “awesome aircraft” in all three of its variants, but acknowledged that “the threat is rapidly evolving and we want to make sure we get the development work done to make sure by 2025” that there is new capability on the plane. It’s not the first... Lire la suite
