AIR POWER: FROM MOST RECENT OPERATIONS TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

CASD, MARCH 20-21, 2014

MBDA Italia vision of the National Air Defense through the Missile Systems’ Sustainability Plan

MBDA Italy perception of the overall context

It became “usual” to assign to financial themes the sovereignty and capability

issues in the current debate, even in fields related to public interests

Our Minister of Defense declared to the Parliament last March 12: “In the last

years, we European have became experts about spread, bond and other

measures against financial crisis, decreasing our attention to security

dimension….”

Thus also Defense and Security matters are subject to such a financial crisis,

that sometimes produces an impact toward “think national” also where

international cooperation are well consolidated with structural cooperative

programs, economic recession reinforces discrepancies pushing the system to

support national interests


Réf. : - Page 3 -

The European Defense scenario should arise from a precise analysis of geopolitical matters as well as operative capabilities expressed by Military Forces

National participation to the development of a European Defense project is also dependant on industrial capabilities

Under this perspective and starting from current budget constraints, Italian MoD has to go beyond a simple cooperating declaration and show a concrete support to the debate

A national rationalization of future operative requirements with resizing of products portfolio are necessary to achieve cost reduction, capabilities and sovereignty

To adhere to a European Model without a national plan supported by relevant stakeholder could represent a major risk

MBDA Italy perception of the overall context

A new model already exists in FR and UK (Lancaster Treaties) and together with their better economic general condition could lead Italy and its industry at a secondary role

MBDA Italy Vision

MBDA Italy, part of the integrated international MBDA Group since 2001, is

experimenting this difficult condition:

without Agreement between Governments on new programs equally supported by

financial contribution,

it’s not enough to be part of an integrated company to work maintaining technology at

the state of the art and supporting IT MoD for future capabilities where sovereignty is

considered necessary

A new “Partnership” model to approach Defense and Security is requested for

both, Military Forces and the Defense Industry;

In the next future the “Libro Bianco” results could be the answer to this need to

define packages where a missile national company could contribute

MBDA Italy vision: experience on UK Government - Industry approach to Defense

As part of a French-English-Italian integrated company, MBDA It is in the position to see directly some development related to the relationship between Defense Industry and Military Authorities;

In UK, e.g. it has been adopted the:

Defense Growth Partnership Government and Industry Working Together

MBDA Italy vision: Partnership Model Overall Principles

Long term arrangement using an MoD IT / MBDA Italy partnering approach to deliver the new MBDA Italy portfolio

Requirements MoD Equipment Planning Assumptions Balanced pipeline responding to the planning assumptions Flexibility and agility to facilitate changing requirements Assurance of Operational Sovereignty Delivery of measured efficiency benefits Delivery of additional benefits through maturing of partnering arrangement

Key Enablers Collaborative Relationship with Transparency Commitment to Long Term bilateral relationship Exportability and International Collaboration

MBDA Italy Vision - Partnership Model 10 Key Principles

• Faster "Time to Theatre" - Capability not just Equipment

• Commonality, Modularity and Technology Insertion - Through Life

• Cost Effective Platform Integration

• Flexible and Agile Project and Commercial Management

• Best use of Full Supply Network - Technology, Cost, Risk

• Innovation at all levels - Business and Technical

• Collaborative Behaviours and Mutual Trust

• Open Communication and Transparency

• Building Confidence through "Steps of Success"

• Strong and Joint Leadership with Team Approach

Evolution of capability - Air Defense

Next charts show two examples of Italian missile (missiles, systems, platforms)

asset/capability ( BMD e Shorad ) currently operative and their expected probable

evolution in MBDA Italy view based on:

• Military Forces Operative requirements known today ;

• Standardization and reuse of products and solutions already in service and/or in the

development phase, resolution of obsolescence;

• Launch of intergovernmental agreements at European level in order to share

projects with the related development cost and the export returns;

• Budget/Balance constraints respect;

• Preserving technological and industrial capabilities to support national sovereignty.

CapacitàOperative

Tecnologie(Componenti, Materiali, …)

• Rivestono fondamentale importanza per lo sviluppo delle nuove capacità i concetti di :• Analisi dei Competitor• Riduzione dei costi durante tutto il ciclo

di vita dei prodotto (should cost e target cost)

• Modularità e ri-uso dei sistemi/sotto-sistemi fino a livello di componente

• Identificazione ed utilizzo di tecnologie innovative orientate alla competitività

• Riuso delle tecnologie per diverse applicazioni militari, nonché dualità

• Mantenimento e acquisizione di nuove Capacità Operative Militari da parte dei Clienti, Italia in priorità ma anche FR/UK/GE ed export con conseguente definizione della strategia R&T

• Evoluzione e Sviluppo di nuovi Prodotti funzionali alle Capacità Operative (Sistemi d’Arma oggi, Servizi in futuro)

• Concezione, Definizione e Sviluppo di dimostratori dei Sottosistemi e Equipaggiamenti

• Individuazione e Maturazione delle Tecnologie
