illico presto<\/em>, en proposant avec une sorte d’amicale pression l’interview du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Moore qui, comme le hasard fait bien les choses, \u00e9tait toute pr\u00eate \u00e0 \u00eatre envoy\u00e9e pour publication. Hypoth\u00e8se, rien que cela, et hypoth\u00e8se subversive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici les deux premi\u00e8res questions-r\u00e9ponses. On appr\u00e9ciera la forme des r\u00e9ponses, aussi strictes et exaltantes qu’un communiqu\u00e9 de Lockheed Martin (LM), revu JPO. En un mot qui s’\u00e9nonce en quatre: Hell<\/em>, tout va bien. (Avec, tout de m\u00eame, certaines prudences pour affirmer que le nouveau rapport JET reviendra sur son estimation catastrophique de 2008 pour rencontrer celle, idyllique, de l’\u00e9quipe JPO-LM.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuestion<\/em><\/strong> \u00abA year ago, the Joint Estimating Team (JET) predicted that it would take two years longer and at least $3 billion more to complete development and testing of the F-35, plus an additional $11 billion to reach planned procurement levels. The program office disagreed. Do you still disagree with that assessment?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tMoore<\/em><\/strong> The F-35 program team remains confident in its ability to deliver to commitments within the baseline program. The program continues to make excellent progress as demonstrated by an ongoing reduction of technical risk, successful maturation of processes and systems, and effective cost controls.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe F-35’s most critical technologies are reaching maturity with all variant hardware designs nearing completion and software development more than 70 percent complete. Our integrated laboratory and flying test beds have identified and retired risks well before flight test at a rate unprecedented in previous aircraft development programs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbEighty percent of test flights have concluded with no unplanned maintenance requirements a reliability rate that would be high for an operational fleet. Manufacturing precision is the best ever for a new fighter at this stage of production, with notable improvements in quality and processes as more aircraft enter production.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe JET estimate projected completion of the developmental and operational test phases by 2016 versus the<\/em> [program office] estimate of 2014. The<\/em> [Defense] Department added $476 million [in the fiscal 2010 budget request] to address near-term risks <\/em>[] and agreed there were a number of critical events\/milestones during FY09 and FY10 that would provide a better assessment of which estimate was more accurate.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuestion<\/em><\/strong> \u00abIs the contractor team performing as planned and expected, given that key deadlines seem to have slipped considerably from the schedule put forth last year?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tMoore<\/em><\/strong> \u00abDespite the challenges inherent on this complex development program, the F-35 government\/contractor team continues to perform effectively in meeting key schedule milestones, as we prepare to field the entire fleet of developmental test aircraft over the next year, as well as deliver the first production aircraft next summer.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tL’effort du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Moore se place dans la m\u00eame logique, selon la m\u00eame orientation, selon les m\u00eames arguments \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s que tout ce qu’on identifie chez Loren B. Thompson. Ils montrent une offensive coordonn\u00e9e de l’\u00e9quipe JPO-LM et de tous ses satellites et relais divers pour tenter d’installer une perception favorable de la situation du JSF avant m\u00eame que l’\u00e9quipe JET ait r\u00e9alis\u00e9 ses travaux d’\u00e9valuation, de fa\u00e7on d’une part \u00e0 influer sur elle et obtenir une r\u00e9\u00e9valuation favorable, d’autre part \u00e0 assurer le terrain le plus solide possible pour une contestation vigoureuse si l’\u00e9quipe JET ne donnait pas cette r\u00e9\u00e9valuation favorable. L’enjeu, pour JPO-LM est, d’autre part, \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer dans une plus large perspective, puisqu’il s’agit de son r\u00f4le, de sa position, de sa capacit\u00e9 de contr\u00f4ler le programme comme il a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait jusqu’ici donc, de ne pas trop c\u00e9der de terrain au JET. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tCes p\u00e9rip\u00e9ties ne cessent de renforcer l’image d’un programme JSF qui constitue un cas compl\u00e8tement unique dans l’histoire de l’industrie d’armement, de l’industrie a\u00e9rospatiale, etc., pour ce qui concerne l’intensit\u00e9 de la bataille de communication autour de lui dans la dur\u00e9e, dans la diversit\u00e9 des domaines abord\u00e9s, dans le nombre de m\u00e9dias et de personnalit\u00e9s de la communication impliqu\u00e9es, dans le nombre de types de m\u00e9dias impliqu\u00e9s (notamment la pr\u00e9sence du r\u00e9seau Internet dans cette bataille). Aucun exemple ne peut \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme approchant \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. Du point de vue du r\u00f4le de la communication dans le destin d’un programme industriel, et d’un programme industriel de d\u00e9fense, le JSF est en train d’\u00e9tablir un domaine compl\u00e8tement nouveau, une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence absolue, qui se d\u00e9marque de tout ce qui a exist\u00e9 jusqu’ici.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
