Main gate deadline approaches for UK carrier programme
Article Abstract:
Industry stakeholders in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance established to deliver the UK's Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF) programme submitted their latest pricing data on 20 September 2006, about a month ahead of a planned Main Gate 2 (MG2) submission to the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The MoD had originally planned that the CVF programme, intended to deliver two 65,000-ton aircraft carriers from the middle of the 2010s, should pass a single Main Gate decision for demonstration and manufacture.

Fashioning the future for UK carrier strike
Article Abstract:
The UK's investments are intended to lay the foundations for a new-generation carrier strike capability for the nation based around the Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF) vessels and the Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA). The carrier strike is expected to be the combination of the Royal Navy (RN) aircraft carrier (CVS), the Harrier GR.9 and the Sea king ASaC.7 airborne surveillance and control helicopter by the end of 2006.
