ometimes opportunities presentthemselves where, to use the old clich,"you can kill two birds with one stone," or

perhaps to improve upon it, "you can feed twobirds with one bag of seed."

The defense aircraft and related equipmentbeing utilized in Afghanistan and Iraq byAmerican military forces require frequentmaintenance and modernization. The U.S.government awards billions of dollars per year tocompanies, both large and small, for thecompletion of these tasks. Rightfully so, thesecontracts generally are won on the basis of themost competitive bid.

But what if we could achieve some of theseessential support goals, while at the same timeaccomplishing a humanitarian purpose? Thehumanitarian act I am referring to is helping torebuild the city of New Orleans and thesurrounding communities by investing in thepeople of the Gulf Coast region.

It has been almost three years sinceHurricane Katrina devastated the area. NewOrleans may have sustained the greatestphysical damage, but the entire region hassuffered by having to absorb thousands ofdisplaced families. And, for many, the crisiscontinues. So what's to be done?

Despite some opinions in Washington, thepeople of New Orleans, both current anddisplaced, are not looking for a handout. No onedreams of someday living in a FEMA trailer withits associated health risks. On the contrary,provided with the opportunity, these hardworkingfolks can pull themselves up out of theeconomic depression left behind by thefloodwaters. They just need a chance to providefor themselves and their families. This used tobe known as giving your fellow American abreak.

It is the noblest purpose of government toprovide for citizens who have suffered at thehands of fate. But the question of "at what cost"usually is an overwhelming consideration. Oneclear answer is to steer defense aircraft

contracts, especially aircraft maintenancecontracts, to this region of the country, helpingto provide some of the jobs needed.

But what about the quality of the work?Certainly, nothing is more important thanproviding top of the line maintenance for ourwarfighting aircraft. Why should we risk thepossibility of inferior services?

The good news is we do not have to. Irecently had the opportunity to visit the areafrom Houston to New Orleans and discoveredstate of the art aircraft support facilities rebuilt bya dedicated workforce. The Lake Charles areaof Louisiana is home to a huge maintenancefacility once owned by Boeing and now operatedby the Northrop Grumman Corporation.

Politicians, such as State Senator WillieMount, have taken the lead in working hand andhand with industry and the local workforce tocreate an environment of excellence in defenseaircraft sustainment and modernization.

Within hours of the hurricane's end, workersat this facility came to the hangars to rebuildtheir workplace, in many cases, before attendingto the damage to their own homes. Thisdedicated team has reconstructed the facility tobe even better than it was before - more securestructures house exceptional machinery andtopnotch management.

You don't have to take my word for all this, gosee this Northrop Grumman facility for yourself.For information on this facility, visitwww.ts.northropgrumman.com and enter "LakeCharles" in the search bar.

So here's my message to decision makers inWashington: This is a clear opportunity to shine.You can do what has to be done and, at thesame time, give American citizens who reallyneed a break and deserve it a step up.

CORRECTION: The Winter 2008 edition of AAD contained an article on smart wiring that stated, "The JCAA [Joint Council onAging Aircraft] was officially disestablished on September 30, 2007." In fact, while the NAVAIR Aging Aircraft Integrated ProductTeam was disestablished and its parts were realigned within NAVAIR, the JCAA is still active in its efforts to address issuesregarding aging aircraft throughout the DOD and commercial aviation communities. For more information about the JCAA, visit theCouncil online at www.jcaa.us.

n his January 2007 State of the UnionAddress, President George W. Bush stated,"For too long, our nation has beendependent on foreign oil. And this

dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostileregimes, and to terrorists - who could cause hugedisruptions in oil shipments, raise the price of oil,and do harm to our economy." The president,Congress, and many other key leaders inAmerica have challenged the country to reduceour dependence on foreign oil. This is a challengethat the United States Air Force is facing head on.

A CLEAR MANDATEThe mission of the Air Force is to provide for thedefense of the United States of America and itsglobal interests - to fly and fight in air, space, andcyberspace. In recent years, rapidly increasingcosts for energy have significantly added to theAir Force's operational expenses, diverting funds that otherwise would have supportedits recapitalization and modernization to further national security. In each of the last twoyears, the Air Force spent approximately $7billion to fuel its aircraft and provide power to its installations.

As a result of these concerns and rising costs,Air Force officials have established a clearmandate to reduce energy consumption andincrease the availability of domestic alternativeenergy sources. To address these imperatives,the Air Force is making energy a consideration ineverything it does.

In response to rising energy costs, energysecurity considerations, and efforts to reducegreenhouse gas emissions, Air Force personnelhave implemented an energy strategy thatconsists of:

1. Investing in new technologiesand domestic resources to increase the supplyand use of secure fuel and clean energy.

2. Reducing the overall energy demands ofAir Force efforts and installations.

3. Changing the Air Force culture to ensurethat these energy objectives are accomplishedwhile maintaining mission readiness.

ALTERNATIVE FUELSTo meet these challenges, the Air Force isinvesting in an ongoing effort to research, test,and certify new technologies designed to reducedependence on foreign oil by providing analternative domestic fuel supply. In 2007, asynthetic jet fuel blend was tested and certified in the B-52. As of early 2008, the fuel blend wasin the process of being tested in the B-1, C-17,and F-22 aircraft, as well as in various groundsupport equipment.

By 2011, the Air Force expects to have testedand certified such a synthetic jet fuel blend in itsentire aircraft fleet. Ultimately, by 2016, the goal isfor the Air Force to meet 50 percent of itsdomestic aviation fuel needs through a syntheticfuel blend that utilizes alternative fuel resourcesproduced in the United States.

An added requirement focuses on energyefficiency and environmental concerns: Thesynthetic fuel purchases are to be sourced fromsuppliers with manufacturing facilities that engage in effective reuse processes and carbondioxide capture.

CLEAN ENERGYThe Air Force has aggressively implemented astrategy to generate electricity on its bases using more solar, wind, and geothermal energy.Energy experts also are currently examining thepotential of nuclear power sources for possibleuse on air bases.

The Air Force currently is the top purchaser ofgreen power in the federal government. In arecently completed project, a photovoltaic arraywas completed at Nellis Air Force Base inNevada; this state of the art solar energy systemis the largest such installation in the Americas.Ongoing projects include exploring large-scalesolar opportunities at three other bases in thedesert Southwest.

Also under consideration is a public-private

partnership to build and operate a coal-to-liquidfuel manufacturing plant at a base in Montana. Asleaders in innovative public-private partnerships,the Air Force also seeks to lease under-utilizedland to environmentally responsible privateowners and operators.

WORKING TOGETHERWhile a long-term commitment to supply-sidealternative energy sources and integrateddemand-side energy efficiency measures are vitalelements in the Air Force energy strategy, theseefforts represent only part of the equation.

The Air Force also has instigated a programto change its consumption culture, so that allAirmen become energy conservation stewards inboth their military and personal lives. By instillingenergy awareness into the Airman's lifestylethrough leadership, training, curricula, andcommunication, the intention is to foster acommunity of innovation that considers energy inall activities and operations. To date, these effortshave reduced energy intensity in Air Forcefacilities by almost 18 percent since 2003.

Solving the energy challenges of tomorrow,while protecting the environment for futuregenerations, requires concentrated efforts,dedication, and ground-breaking technology.Through its ongoing leadership and focusedefforts, the United States Air Force is expected to be a driving force in successfully meeting bothits own and the nation's energy challenges of the future.

AAD asked key representatives of the United States Air Force about significant steps the service has made to increase its energy efficiency, decreaseits environmental impact, and develop alternative energy sources. Following is an Air Force report on its ongoing environmental efforts, includinginvestments in innovative technologies and public-private partnerships, that may provide opportunities to companies offering related products and services.



fter mobile Egyptian and Syrian SAMunits had nearly pinned down theentire Israeli Air Force (IAF) in the first

days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the IAFturned to Yar Dubester and his colleagues atthe state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries(IAI) to help it develop a new real-time airbornereconnaissance solution. The answer was the Scout unmanned air vehicle (UAV), the firstof an extensive and distinguished Israeli UAV dynasty.

At the time, Dubester was a youngelectronics engineer employed at IAI, which had

been founded in the 1950s with an emphasis onIsraeli technological self-reliance. IAI builtaircraft and missiles and provided maintenanceand upgrade programs for imported anddomestic defense platforms.

A founding father of Israel's UAV program,Dubester now has 32 years of UAV engineeringexpertise. Over the years, he has served asChief Engineer and Program Manager on theHunter UAV Program, a system widely usedboth by the U.S. Army and by Europeancustomers. Dubester currently is the DivisionHead of IAI's UAV department, known as

MALAT, a Hebrew acronym for "UAV" and thename of the IAI plant where its UAVs aredesigned and manufactured.

THE MANNED AND UNMANNEDAFTERMARKETIsrael, a tiny country about the size ofMassachusetts, has become a world-classtrendsetter in UAV designs. Dubester believesthat understanding the UAV aftermarket is keyto designing a successful UAV program. Fromhis office at the MALAT factory, straddling BenGurion International Airport in Lod, Israel,Dubester outlines key differences between themanned and unmanned aftermarket.

According to Dubester "UAVs, unlikemanned aircraft, often need to take off fromunprepared airfields, smack in the middle of thetheater of operations. This requires us to

provide the customer with services specific to the UAV sector. UAV aftermarket services not only cover the aircraft, but alsoinclude servicing the payloads andcommunication systems.

"The customer may wish to operate ourUAV systems in the midst of a combat area.For obvious reasons, we can't send ourtechnical crews to service and operate in theheat of battle and thereby risk direct involve-ment in foreign operations. Consequently,we've had to design extensive training know-how so as to teach the customer or its domestic industry players to perform the full spectrum of maintenance tasks. So, we would typically train the customer to execute all levels of maintenance, from the operationallevel carried out in the field (O-levelmaintenance), via intermediate levelmaintenance (I-level maintenance), through todepot level (D-level maintenance)."

Dubester continues, O-level maintenanceincludes the replacement of parts in the fieldbut without opening electro-optical payloads,which require laboratory conditions. O-levelmaintenance can also include the replacementof a computer circuit card."

DESIGN IS KEYElbit Systems (NASDAQ: ESLT), anotherIsraeli UAV and defense systems powerhouse,is one of IAI's rivals for the domination of theglobal UAV market. The company boasts that itis now the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) leadingUAV supplier.

UAV Programs Director Itai Toren, of ElbitSystems, expands on Dubester's point.According to Toren, "Unlike manned aircraft,UAV systems come as whole systems, notmere air vehicles. In addition to necessary airvehicle maintenance, you need to considerservicing and upgrading ground controlstations, payloads, communication, and groundsupport equipment. All these additional itemsrequire a well-planned after-sales package. Ina manned aircraft, we can take it for grantedthat the pilot can access engine, commun-ications, and other settings. With a UAV,tweaking the aircraft in flight gets trickier and requires a good deal of line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight data links - allrequiring adapted design input with theaftermarket in mind."

Toren likes to emphasize how theaftermarket is factored in the UAV's designfrom day one. He says, "Easy maintenance liesat the heart of our UAV design philosophy. Ouraircraft are covered with removable panels,making all the components widely visible andaccessible to the technicians. Our software

applications are designed like onion layers:One functionality can easily get installed ontothe previous, so software upgrades are madefast and convenient.

"Our rule of thumb in design," says Toren,"is to listen to the customer carefully anddesign the UAV package to tightly fit thebuyers' needs with respect to aftermarketspecs. Some customers want to remaincompletely autonomous from Elbit, and wefurnish them with the wherewithal to performdepot-level maintenance alone. Others preferto keep costs down; there again, we have theclients' aftermarket costs in mind. For instance,our Skylark I mini-UAVs come with few movingparts, the engine being electric. The small UAVis assembled [much] as [is] a Lego play set,with the pieces easily replaceable."

IAI's Dubester quips, however, that someUAV manufacturers design their aircraftillogically like "an old car I used to drive - toreplace a light bulb, you needed to dismantlethe entire front end of the car."

PRICING THE AFTERMARKETDubester stresses how IAI's experience helps itland international UAV tenders by zeroing inaccurate after-sales pricing forecasts. Heexplains, "IAI's UAV division has becomeparticularly apt at pricing the aftermarketservices required for any UAV systems tender,thanks to our decades-long experience. Thissort of expertise has become critical indeveloping a sustainable UAV business. AUAV manufacturer needs to accurately predict[the] amount of technical glitches and [the]maintenance [that will be] required in order todraft a credible tender offer, knowledge that isgained with experience only. The AmericanAquila program, for instance, collapsed namelybecause [of] a lack of understanding ofaftermarket requirements."

He refers to the failed Aquila programbegun by the U.S. Department of Defense(DOD) in 1979. It was originally estimated thatthe cost would be about $700 million for the

procurement of 780 air vehicles and associatedequipment. By the time the U.S. Armyabandoned the program in 1987, due totechnical snags, delays, and budget overruns,Aquila had cost the Pentagon "close to $2billion," says Dubester. One of the DOD'ssolutions to its UAV needs was to acquire IAI'sPioneer tactical UAVs, which the U.S. Navylater successfully deployed during DesertStorm in some 300 missions.

Dubester further explains, "InexperiencedUAV designers can't know what their clients'engine maintenance requirements are. The

engine manufacturer may stipulate a certainupkeep regimen (for instance, X overhaulrequired for Y amount of engine time);however, our experience shows thesestipulations are wrong in various climate anddeployment environments. Only experiencedUAV manufacturers, such as ourselves, knowhow to correctly assess the true lifecycle costsof any aircraft over and above what theengine's manufacturer may prescribe. You caninfer projections on lifecycle costs from thisexample on other systems, too, for instance,ground control stations and payloads. We

calculate repair and maintenance costs anddelays between real-time critical failures, forinstance, which vary according to the client'suse and environment.

He concludes, When we operated our earlyUAV types, such as the Scout and the Pioneer,we noticed the skill level of the remote controloperators affected the maintenance costs.Hence, we had trouble forecasting ourmaintenance requirements, because the UAVsused to wear out faster depending on theperson landing them: The harder the landing,the greater the wear-and-tear the aircraft

sustained over time. That's why, years ago, weintroduced automated take-off and landing forall our UAVs."

THE GROWING UAV UPGRADES MARKETElbit's Toren is very upbeat about the future ofthe UAV upgrades market. "We forecast thatUAV upgrades will grow to equal about twothirds of the general UAV acquisitions market.In proportional terms, this would be a UAVupgrades market size analogous to that of themanned military aircraft sector.

"The market for UAV upgrades is youngand growing. It doesn't only include routinemaintenance. Customers come to us withrequests for upgrades because of evolvingmission requirements and obsolescingcomponents. With some UAV platforms gettingbigger and more expensive, we expectcustomers to seek comprehensive upgradepackages, as was the case with combataircraft, for instance.

"Furthermore, the customers arediscovering new applications for UAVs all thetime, requiring such upgrades as airbornecontrol systems for UAVs and heliborne or

seaborne data links to UAVs. Wealso can design upgrade packagesfor UAVs that are not Elbit's. It alldepends what the customer islooking for." He adds, "Certainupgrades to non-Elbit UAVs can beupgraded only with the assistance ofthe original manufacturer or bygetting the required data package."

Elbit also offers a variety ofsimulation packages, from"embedded" UAV mission simulationsoftware integrated into groundcontrol stations deployed in the field,to specialized UAV Training Centers"which can resemble large conventional aircraftsimulation facilities," says Toren.

ALTERNATIVES TO BUYING AND THE PBLTRENDBoth IAI and Elbit emphasize alternatives tostraightforward buying. Elbit's Toren says, "Thecustomers may choose to lease UAV systemson a power-by-the-hour basis or pick out any ofan assortment of leasing schemes, which mayinclude purchasing system availability time

(including air vehicles and ground controlstations), along with our own operation ormaintenance crews operating the UAV systemat the location of the customer's choosing."

IAI's Dubester also stresses, "Anothermodel for UAV servicing is where the customer buys the spare parts. And, of course, we guarantee their usability for acertain timeframe, generally a predefinednumber of years."

s anyone in the industry canattest, doing business with theUnited States in mattersrelating to the exporting of

unclassified defense-related products is atthe very least a complicated process.Faced with the challenges that accompanydifficult export control policies, those incharge of procurement for the militaryservices of the United Kingdom and othernations have expressed frustrations at theobstacles blocking access to U.S. militarytechnologies and services.

As a sign of good faith, the UnitedStates began exploring alternateapproaches to international defense trademore than a decade ago. At first, therewere talks of special export waivers thatwould be granted to selected alliedcountries. Now, more than a decade later,discussions have continued, although in adifferent direction. This time, a trade treatyis on the table, which many hope will helpcut down on bureaucratic barriers betweenthe United States and the United Kingdomand Australia.

HURDLING EXPORT CONTROLSThe International Traffic in Arms

Regulations (ITAR), part of the Arms ExportControl Act, were enacted to providecongressional oversight of the export ofdefense-related products, services, andinformation as documented on the U.S.Munitions List. Since the inception of ITAR,these complicated regulations haveconfused, frustrated, and even angeredexporters and their customers.

ITAR supporters include the U.S.Department of Defense, as well aslawmakers in Congress, who insistcompliance is necessary to maintain a levelof security for the United States and toprotect U.S. technology from falling into thewrong hands. ITAR's opposition includesmembers of industry who argue theregulations are unnecessarily complex andactually hinder the U.S. trade economy.Members of academia also oppose ITAR,insisting the rules prevent some of the bestinternational students from studying withinthe United States and contributing to thetechnological advances that support thenation's military forces.

The time needed to invest in obtainingan export license has been noted as one ofthe main problems in complying with ITAR.License approval has been cited as taking

anywhere from 20 to more than 60 days.The U.S. State Department has blamed theincrease in requests and inadequatedepartment staffing to meet the demand forthe growing delay, as each request mustbe reviewed by trained licensing officers (ofwhich there are about 34).

In 2003, approximately 55,000 licenserequests were processed by theDepartment of State. By 2007, that numberhad jumped to about 80,000, but thenumber of licensing officers in thedepartment was not increased in proportionto this substantially increased workload.The State Department estimated in a 2006report that for every 8 percent increase inthe number of licensing requests since2003, three additional licensing officerswere needed. However, the desired fifteenadditional officers have yet to be added tothe State Department's staff.

Although a solution that satisfies bothsides seems unlikely, there have been afew attempts at granting special privilegesto applicants from the United Kingdom andAustralia, two of the nations most closelyallied with the United States. In the 1990s,in context of the international cooperationon development of the F-35 Lightning II,

Great Britain has been a long-time ally of the United States,and a treaty between the two nations would make mutualtrading of defense weapons easier. As of early 2008, itremained to be seen whether the U.S. Senate would agree.By Christina Martin

also known as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), theU.K. and Australian governments (two of thenine major partner countries involved in theproject, including the United States) grewincreasingly irritated with the stranglehold theUnited States held on its technology.

The arduous task of requesting exportlicenses from the Department of State resulted inprecious time lost and had a negative impact onthe mutual respect and trust between the allies.As a result, in 2000, the United States promisedthe United Kingdom and Australia an ITAR

waiver that would give them full access to thetechnology used in the JSF. However, after a 5-year battle, the U.S. House of Representativesultimately denied the waiver. Other partnercountries also complained of the strict exportcontrols of the United States government,although Norway was the only country to makeseveral threats to withdraw from the Joint StrikeFighter program.

Although not a cure-all, the proposedlegislation, known as the Defense Trade SecurityInitiative (DTSI), would have created a one-stopstreamlined system for licensing, rather thanrequiring separate license requests for individualitems, as ITAR currently demands. According tothe DTSI summary sheet, the initiative was

developed to potentially relax the arms exportcontrols, specifically giving exceptions to"governments of treaty allies and qualifiedcompanies within those countries that haveexport controls comparable in scope andeffectiveness to those of the U.S."

One reason for the opposition to thislegislation was the belief in the need for tightersecurity controls of defense articles in a post-9/11 world. Another reason included fears ofunsanctioned third-party transfers. Grantingwaivers would make it easier for the illegal

trafficking of weapons and military equipment to"rogue governments, criminal organizations, andterrorist factions," according to a report writtenby the chairmen of the House InternationalRelations and U.S. Armed Services committeesin 2004.

Since the defeat of DTSI, however, PresidentGeorge W. Bush has tried a different tactic. In2006, President Bush and then British PrimeMinister Tony Blair began talk of a defense-related trade treaty that they hoped wouldachieve the same goals.

TRADE TREATY TALKSAs a way to skirt another potential veto by theHouse of Representatives, President Bush optedout of again trying to pass legislation. Instead, hedrew up a trade treaty with Britain, and later,Australia. (Treaties only have to be ratified bythe U.S. Senate and do not have to go throughthe House of Representatives.)

Trade treaties between the United States andthe United Kingdom/Australia would provide forsmoother export processes, reducing barriers toacquisition of defense products and expeditingthe sale of arms and technology. Essentially,except for major arms sales - defense productsworth more than $25 million, as well as sales ofbatched items worth more than $100 million - thetreaties would eliminate the need for U.S.companies exporting defense-related goods,information, and services to Britain and Australiato obtain an ITAR license. The British treaty also

would continue Britain's policy of not requiring alicense for U.K. defense equipment and servicesbeing exported to the United States.

President Bush and Prime Minister Blairsigned the defense treaty in June 2007, withhopes of it being ratified by the end of the year.The trade treaty with Australia was signed inSeptember. As of February 2008, both treatieswere still awaiting ratification by the U.S. Senate.

Critics of the treaties are leery of the easewith which arms trades can go undetected.Although 99.9 percent of Great Britain'sapproximate 8,500 license requests wereapproved last year, a representative at the U.S.Government Accountability Office said that in thecontext of licensing exemptions, it would becomeeasier to divert items without detection. Thiscould lead to complicated investigations andpossibly serious consequences at a later date.

Balancing the critics are supporters ofopening the trade lines to the closest allies of theUnited States. Jacques Gansler, former UnderSecretary of Defense for Acquisition, supportedthe potential joining of the allied militaries at aJuly 2007 Atlantic Council conference. Ganslersuggests that the United States is not the onlyproducer of defense products, and relying onother countries to supply defense products doesnot necessarily compromise the nation'ssecurity.

"There's not a single weapon system todaythat you can take apart and not find foreign partsin it," Gansler says. "We are dependent. We arenot necessarily vulnerable though . . . . It's timefor us to take advantage of globalization, ratherthan to continue to hurt ourselves as a nationeconomically and militarily."

HERCULEAN COLLABORATIONWhile President Bush and Prime Minister Blairwere working out the details of a possible treaty,a new alliance of sorts sprung up. The HerculesIntegrated Operational Support (HIOS) project isa joint effort between the U.K. Ministry ofDefence (MOD) and several U.S. and U.K.industry competitors. HIOS is the first long-term,integrated contract awarded by the MOD, whereindustry is contracted to provide aircraft support.The program consists of management thatstretches over eight locations in both the UnitedStates and the United Kingdom.

The time needed to invest in obtaining anexport license has been noted as one of

the main problems in complying with ITAR

Jacques Gansler, Former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition

This program, worth approximately $2.94billion, will keep the Royal Air Force (RAF) fleetof twenty Hercules C-130Ks and twenty-four C-130Js in a steady state of readiness andguarantee availability of these aircraft tofrontlines operations as needed, 24 hours a day,365 days a year. The partnership also willprovide spares, along with simulator and enginesupport, until 2030. This amalgamation of efforts

is expected to drastically reduce the time onceneeded to effectively repair and maintain aircraft.

The MOD is funding HIOS, and it will supplycommodity spares and frontline forwardmaintenance for the aircraft. Also involved in the project is Marshall Aerospace, a companybased in Cambridge, England. As the primecontractor, it will provide depth maintenance andlegacy spares. The other two major players are Rolls-Royce, which will provide off-wingsupport for the AE 2100 and T56 engines, andLockheed Martin, which will manage the entiresupply chain.

Surprisingly, although ITAR potentially maycause a few hiccups in schedule delays betweenthe international countries, John Sneller, head ofthe HIOS initiative, does not think there shouldbe too many problems due to the regulations."ITAR creates a potential schedule impact as wego through the administrative process of seeking[U.S.] State Department approvals," Snellersays, "but otherwise is not a barrier to HIOS andrelated programs." However, if the trade treatywere to be ratified by the U.S. Senate, Snellercomments, "[it] should significantly ease thecontracting path of working together on futureHIOS developments, particularly in the capabilityinsertion area."

After the inevitable hurdles had beenconquered, this joint effort between U.S. andU.K. companies appeared to be heading in asuccessful direction. "From an industryperspective, HIOS is very successful," Snellersays. "It has stimulated innovation in theknowledge that it will be acted upon, allowedinvestment in infrastructure and planning,encouraged a much closer dialog with the MOD,

and streamlined almost all parts of RAFHercules support. Moreover, budgets havestabilized, and performance is understood at alllevels and [is] straightforward to measure."

WORKING TOGETHERAlthough ITAR may have created an increasedlevel of security in defense trading, it also hashad a negative impact on the United States'srelationship with its allies and key players withinthese nations. The HIOS project was able tocome together independently of pendingchanges in U.S. trade arrangements, however, itis likely that some adjustments still will have tobe made in the regulatory system.

Will those changes involve one or moretreaties? Will the U.S. government try onceagain to pass applicable legislation? If so, how long will all of this take? And what will bethe results?

It remains to be seen what becomes of thetrade regulations that affect the military aviationmarketplace. The best-case scenario will be acompromise that satisfies both those in industryand in the government.

Northrop Grumman and its partner, theEuropean Aeronautic Defence and SpaceCompany (EADS), have won what has becomea highly controversial U.S. military contract toprovide aerial refueling planes to the U.S. AirForce. With this deal, which has the potential to total more than $100 billion over 30 years for 179 aircraft, EADS has broken into the U.S.military market for the first time.

A close competition for the $35 billioncontract stretched out for more than a year.U.S. giant Boeing's KC-767s were passed upfor Northrop Grumman/EADS's refueling tanker,the KC-45A. This aircraft will replace Boeing'sKC-135, which has been in service since 1957.

Although the U.S. Air Force decision isconsidered final, the competition may not endhere. Boeing may challenge the decision, whichwould further delay the start of production.

Boeing is not the only one up in arms overthe Northrop Grumman/EADS win: U.S.lawmakers have openly expressed theirobjections to a European company buildingaircraft for the U.S. military. Their mainconcerns are such a large government contractbeing granted to a foreign source in the contextof a slowing U.S. economy and the possibility ofinternational security breaches.

U.S. Air Force officials have responded that the EADS/Northrop Grumman plane waschosen because it is the superior aircraft. The KC-45A dominated in the nine-point criteria system used to judge the models under consideration.
