Kongsberg prepares to qualify the Joint Strike Missile
Citat:Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace is set to conduct the final flight test (FTM-5) of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) in early 2018, in preparation for the weapon’s integration with the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s (RNoAF) F-35A Lightning II multirole stealth fighter.
FTM-5 is the culmination of a two-year flight-test campaign to qualify the missile for integration with the F-35A. In a first end-to-end flight test for the missile, a JSM equipped with a live warhead will be launched from a legacy F-16C/D Fighting Falcon from the US Air Force’s 445th Flight Test Group against a ‘realistic’ land target at the Utah Test and Training Range in the United States.

Pentagon Takes Charge of Cutting F-35 Jet Costs
Citat:The Pentagon has taken over an effort to cut the cost of the F-35 combat jet, after rejecting plans proposed by Lockheed Martin and its partners, as it tries to make a program estimated to cost $US400 billion ($515bn) more affordable.
The US plans to buy more than 2,400 of the jets over the next three decades to replace much of its combat fleet. But after years of delays and overruns drew flak from politicians and Donald Trump, the military has been pressing suppliers to reduce the cost of producing and flying the F-35.
The aircraft’s sticker price has fallen in recent sales to the US and other countries, in part because of a contractor-led effort launched in 2014 called the Blueprint for Affordability that invested $US170 million to make the jets cheaper to produce.
