\tC’est bien entendu le programme JSF qui int\u00e9resse Capaccio. On a un bon \u00e9tat des lieux de la campagne d’essais en vol de l’avion, avec confirmation officielle de la situation catastrophique: 10% des vols programm\u00e9s pour 2009 effectivement r\u00e9alis\u00e9s, la p\u00e9riode de tests en vol allong\u00e9e au moins d’un an, jusqu’en 2015. Ce d\u00e9lai suppl\u00e9mentaire est bon seulement si le reste de la planification des vols d’essais jusqu’en 2015 est respect\u00e9e<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Defens(c)e, avec les sch\u00e9mas des vols programm\u00e9s du JSF provenant du GAO, qui sembleraient \u00eatre la programmation originelle, sans doute modifi\u00e9e depuis : 317 en 2009, 1.243 pr\u00e9vus en 2010, 1.425 en 2011 Gilmore, lui, parle de 168 vols (et non 317) pr\u00e9vus durant l’ann\u00e9e fiscale 2009, et 16 seulement r\u00e9alis\u00e9s ! Un peu confus, tout \u00e7a, mais une seule certitude : le naufrage du JSF<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCapaccio :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abLockheed Martin Corp.’s F-35 jet flew only about 10 percent of its planned test flights last year because of delays in delivering aircraft. Sixteen of 168 planned flights were completed in fiscal 2009, the second year of flight testing, according to Michael Gilmore, the Pentagon’s director of weapons testing. The program calls for 5,000 sorties to prove the aircraft’s flying capabilities, electronics and software.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe testing backlog is one reason Defense Secretary Robert Gates has delayed the program, cutting planned purchases of the plane by 122 in fiscal years 2011 through 2015. More than $2.8 billion that was budgeted to buy the military’s next-generation fighter would instead be used to continue its development, according to a 2011 budget document.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe development phase must now be extended by at least one year, to October 2015, according to Gilmore, the former head of the Congressional Budget Office’s defense unit. The F-35 assessment is in the annual report of testing of major weapons systems sent to Congress Jan. 15 and scheduled for release later this week.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe program entered fiscal 2009 at significant risk of not meeting its goals, and that risk will increase through 2012 because flight testing hasn’t kept pace due to the failure to deliver test aircraft, Gilmore wrote in the report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t \u00bbEven assuming all the success that management plans in the remaining roughly 4,970 flight tests, Lockheed will need a minimum schedule addition of one year to complete development, Gilmore wrote. The plane flew 14 of 20 planned test flights in fiscal 2008.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n Chandernagor<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le JSF \u00e0 10% et moins Tony Capaccio, de Bloomberg.News, un des meilleurs sp\u00e9cialistes des informations de d\u00e9fense \u00e0 Washington, pr\u00e9sente quelques d\u00e9tails d’un rapport du chef de l’exp\u00e9rimentation des syst\u00e8mes d’arme au Pentagone, Michael Gilmore, envoy\u00e9 au Congr\u00e8s le 15 janvier.
