Ce 14 octobre 2010<\/a>, Eric Palmer, sur son site ELP Defens(c)e<\/em>, citait une phrase d’un article de David A. Fulghum, de AviationWeek.com<\/em>, du 13 octobre 2010<\/a>. Fulghum citait lui-m\u00eame le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Schwartz, chef d’\u00e9tat-major de l’USAF, \u00e0 propos des perspectives budg\u00e9taires de l’USAF (\u00abThe U.S. Air Force’s financial and operational future lacks complete certitude, but the auguries are nonetheless grim, says the chief of staff, Gen. Norton Schwartz.<\/em>\u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tPalmer sortait une phrase de l’article, concernant le JSF : \u00abThe Lockheed Martin F-35 program, for example, could benefit from a multiyear contract, but only if there is a long-term requirement for the aircraft and if there is budget stability.<\/em>\u00bb Il ajoutait son commentaire : \u00abMulti-year contract? Maybe after the 2020’s, if ever<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tNous avons repris nous-m\u00eames le paragraphe o\u00f9 l’on trouve cette phrase, pour donner nos propres appr\u00e9ciations, car effectivement la phrase est singuli\u00e8re<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abBut there are a few positive trends. Selection of a winning design for the KC-X tanker replacement is expected to be announced next month. The number of Air Force personnel will not decrease, and new systems despite being fewer will be designed with more flexibility, versatility and efficiency. The Lockheed Martin F-35 program, for example, could benefit from a multiyear contract, but only if there is a long-term requirement for the aircraft and if there is budget stability, Schwartz says.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEffectivement, il y a plusieurs aspects singuliers dans ces observations. Le premier est de faire figurer parmi les positive trends<\/em> des contrats multiannuels pour l’achat du F-35, qui sont la condition sine qua non<\/em> d’une tentative d’en contenir les co\u00fbts, et dont on croyait le principe acquis. Le second est d’assortir cette proc\u00e9dure, c’est-\u00e0-dire les commandes en contrats multiannuels du F-35 (F-35A) par l’USAF, d’une condition pr\u00e9cise, \u00a0seulement s’il y a une programmation \u00e0 long terme. Cette restriction est surprenante de la part de l’USAF, qui a programm\u00e9 le F-35 \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 2.000 exemplaires, ce qui implique pour le moins une programmation \u00e0 long terme de sa part, qui devrait \u00eatre effective ; il s’agit l\u00e0, cette programmation \u00e0 long terme, d’une exigence de l’USAF vis-\u00e0-vis d’elle-m\u00eame, au contraire des autres conditions (stabilit\u00e9 budg\u00e9taire), et c’est bien cela qui est \u00e9tonnant de la part du chef de l \u00e9tat-major de l’USAF. Cela signifie-t-il que l’USAF elle-m\u00eame n’est pas engag\u00e9e dans une programmation \u00e0 long terme, de l’avion ? Cela laisse bien assez d’incertitude pour permettre de penser que l’USAF ne se consid\u00e8re effectivement pas engag\u00e9e dans un achat \u00e0 long terme et laisse donc laisse planer un doute cons\u00e9quent sur le volume des intentions de commande de l’avion de la part de ce service, autant que sur l’avenir r\u00e9el lui-m\u00eame de l’avion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n dedefenbsa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le JSF et la foi chancelante du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Schwartz Ce 14 octobre 2010, Eric Palmer, sur son site ELP Defens(c)e, citait une phrase d’un article de David A.
