U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin F-22 stealth fighters have sent sensor data to ground stations and other aircraft for the first time, both directly and via an airborne network gateway. The datalink demonstrations were conducted during the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX 08) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., in late April, details of which are now becoming available.
Italy’s Finmeccanica has gotten a potential leg up on European aerospace rival EADS by agreeing to a major U.S. defense acquisition, confirming a rumored deal to acquire DRS for $5.2 billion, including $1.2 billion in debt. New Jersey-headquartered DRS would operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica, retaining its current management and with a U.S. board. But it remains to be seen whether its takeover by a non-U.S. company will pass Pentagon and antitrust reviews.
P5 SALE: Cubic Defense Applications has scored its first export sale of the P5 rangeless combat training system, to Poland. The potential $9.5 million contract for the Autonomous Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation program includes 16 DRS-built airborne pods for Polish air force Lockheed Martin F-16s, plus ground brief/debrief stations to be delivered to the Poznan-Krzesiny and Lask airbases by late 2009. The P5 system is operational at 10 U.S. bases, with deliveries to U.S. Air Force bases in Europe set for 2010.
