BAe's role in JSF enhanced

Article Abstract:

British Aerospace (BAe) assumed a further participation in the UK-US Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, particularly for the Lockheed Martin development team. BAe is understood to oversee all areas regarding short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) technology for the Lockheed Martin team, aside from contributing notable development production techniques. The JSF multi-role fighter program is originally driven by requirements for 3,000 aircraft for the US Navy, US Air Force, US Marine Corps, and the UK Royal Navy.

Article Abstract:

The maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) force is operating the platform at a very high cost and a large complex and unique MPA airframe is a disproportionate burden on the defence budget. To meet the MPA requirements, the operators have turned to an increasingly wide variety of low cost commercial or transport aircraft platforms and industry has a range of flexible mission systems to equip them.
