Le Teal Group, conduit par Richard Aboulafia, a publi\u00e9 un rapport sur l’\u00e9tat du programme JSF. (On conna\u00eet l’imperturbable optimisme<\/a> du Teal Group pour ce qui concerne le JSF. Du coup, le ton beaucoup plus dubitatif de cette \u00e9dition nous appara\u00eet extr\u00eamement significatif.) Les indications ci-dessous nous sont donn\u00e9es par Michael Fabey, de Aerospace Daily & Defense Report<\/em> du 15 avril<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe rapport prend en compte le dernier rapport SAR du Pentagone, comme un aspect positif bien qu’il apparaisse d’une fa\u00e7on \u00e9vidente que cet aspect positif est extr\u00eamement contestable<\/a>: \u00abWhile the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program’s recent Selected Acquisition Report points to some cost stability within the program, the program still faces some serious challenges ahead, a recent Teal Group report says.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tPlusieurs faits int\u00e9ressants sont mis en \u00e9vidence :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le rapport constate la d\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rescence g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la coop\u00e9ration industrielle multinationale qui constituait l’argument essentiel du programme. Le JSF avait \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9 \u00e0 l’exportation comme une porte ouvrant sur l’\u00e9tablissement d’un tissu multinational fond\u00e9 sur la capacit\u00e9 technologique de l’Am\u00e9rique. Le r\u00e9sultat est du chacun pour soi, du point de vue US, chaque coop\u00e9rant voulant profiter d’avantages propres: \u00abIndustrial greed abroad and program commitment at home continue to put the F-35 in the crosshairs, according to the report. The industrial situation has degenerated into a beg-a-thon, the report says. For a program that was supposed to break the cycle of offset demands, F-35 has actually engendered nothing but industrial greed, fueled by implied promises and aggressive salesmanship.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le rapport reconna\u00eet l’apparition d’une certaine concurrence, notamment le Gripen<\/em>, et admet : \u00abthere could be one or two defectors.<\/em>\u00bb C’est certainement la premi\u00e8re fois qu’un groupe d’analyse si compl\u00e8tement align\u00e9 sur les consignes du complexe militaro-industriel admet la possibilit\u00e9 de la d\u00e9fection de l’un ou\/et l’autre coop\u00e9rant(s) international dont on attend automatiquement une commande de JSF. Il s’agit d’une indication tr\u00e8s s\u00e9rieuse d’une pr\u00e9occupation du Pentagone dans ce sens. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Les questions internes sont abord\u00e9es L’exemple le plus pr\u00e9cis et le moins encourageant est celui de la Navy. \u00abTeal Group says the Navy embraces the JSF as much as it would a proposal to go drink bleach. They aren’t sold on stealth, and they seem unwilling to pay a premium for it in price or payload. The Navy also is no fan of a single-engine plane, especially one that could actually threaten the linchpin of the service’s survival: the aircraft carrier. There’s also the unpleasant prospect that the STOVL F- 35 version (U.S. Marine Corps version) could be nearly as effective as the CTOL naval variant, making large nuclear carriers relatively less appealing. The Navy’s biggest problem with the F-35, the report says, seems to be that it is a joint plane. Joint planes threaten the Navy’s hope of ever getting a purely Navy combat aircraft again.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t La question du prix est reconnue comme \u00e9tant d\u00e9sormais tr\u00e8s importante, avec comme limite \u00e0 ne pas d\u00e9passer un prix par exemplaire de $70 millions La remarque est d’autant plus importante que le prix officiel approche d\u00e9sormais les $70 millions<\/a> et que le prix r\u00e9el est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 par nombre de coop\u00e9rants comme autour de $120 millions<\/a>. \u00abStill, prime contractor Lockheed Martin has to keep the unit price down. The basic A model’s unit recurring flyaway cost needs to stay in the $50 million-$60 million range, Teal says. If costs rise higher than $70 million, the qualities that make the F-35 unique will diminish.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 17 avril 2008 \u00e0 08H18<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le Teal Group, conduit par Richard Aboulafia, a publi\u00e9 un rapport sur l’\u00e9tat du programme JSF.
