SAAB ilmoitti uudesta hävittäjien elektronisen sodankäynnin paketista
SAAB julkisti Suomen, ja HX ohjelman, kannalta kriittisen kyvyn viime perjantaina. Saab on saanut valmiiksi uuden hävittäjiin integroitavan elektronisen soadankäynnin paketin Arexiksen. Luonnollisesti kehitystyö on ollut osa Gripen NG tai Gripen E ohjelmaa. Minäkin olin kuullut huhuja ohjelmasta, mutta Saabilta … Continue reading
Boeing ja F/A 18 E/F/G Rhino takaisin taistoon
Kesäkuun lentonäytöksissä Helsingissä ja Seinäjoella tuli selväksi, että KAIKKI HX kandidaatit ovat kilvassa mukana ja ajavat pitkillä valoilla. Ihmettelimme kollektiivisesti viime vuonna Kuopiossa Boeingin valitsemaa taktiikkaa HX ohjelmassa, ja muutenkin heikäläisten hiljaisuutta hankkeen ympärillä. Itselläni alkoi versoa ajatus, että Boeingille … Continue reading

Tulevat ja olevat tutkat HX koneissa.
Vaikkakin IRST sensori tulee olemaan ehkä tärkein sensori uudessa ilmasodassa, ei tutkan poisjättminen laskuista ole vielä ollenkaan ajankohtaista. Analogiana arkipäivään voisi olla taskulamppu ja ilman: Jos ei näy mitään, ja pelottaa kovasti että mörkö on tullut kaapista ulos, niin voi … Continue reading

HX-FRP, What do the documents say?
First the disclaimer: I’m just interested party, ultimate payer and a blogger, in HX-Fighter Replacement Program. I have never seen and much likely never will see the wheelbarrow loads of documentation that the HX-FRP produces. But I try to make … Continue reading
