Edwin dijo: aumentará o reducirá el gasto militar norteamericano?.
Lo aumentará. Eso deducimos de su propuesta de defensa, que busca hacer a las FFAA gringas más poderosas de lo que son, que su pelea con LM y el F-35 no nos engañe, ese proyecto saldrá adelante y vendrán más cosas. Además que tiene a China entre ojos y eso significa que no puede bajar su poder militar.

SIG SAUER, Inc. announced today that the U.S. Army has selected the SIG SAUER Model P320 to replace the M9 service pistol currently in use since the mid-1980’s. Released in 2014, the P320 is a polymer striker-fired pistol that has proven itself in both the United States and worldwide markets. The P320 is the first modular pistol with interchangeable grip modules that can also be adjusted in frame size and caliber by the operator. All pistols will be produced at the SIG SAUER facilities in New Hampshire.
The MHS Program provides for the delivery of both full size and compact P320’s, over a period of ten (10) years. All pistols will be configurable to receive silencers and will also include both standard and extended capacity magazines.
“I am tremendously proud of the Modular Handgun System Team,” said Army Acquisition Executive, Steffanie Easter in the release. “By maximizing full and open competition across our industry partners, we truly have optimized the private sector advancements in handguns, ammunition and magazines and the end result will ensure a decidedly superior weapon system for our warfighters.”
Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER, said “We are both humbled and proud that the P320 was selected by the U.S. Army as its weapon of choice. Securing this contract is a testimony to SIG SAUER employees and their commitment to innovation, quality and manufacturing the most reliable firearms in the world.”
Raytheon-Leonardo team withdraws from T-X competition
Jan. 25 (UPI) --Raytheon and Leonardo-Finmeccanica will not jointly pursue a contract for the U.S. Air Force's T-X trainer aircraft program.
The T-X program is an Air Force effort to procure a new two-seat military jet trainer to replace its Northrop T-38 Talon, which has been in service with the branch for over four decades.
Prior to ending their joint involvement, Raytheon and Leonardo's partnership intended to submit a T-100 platform for the project.
"In February 2016, Raytheon and Leonardo announced their intent to team on the T-X pursuit. While we remain confident that the T-100 is a strong solution, our companies were unable to reach a business agreement that is in the best interest of the U.S. Air Force," Raytheon spokesperson B.J. Boling said in a press release. "Consequently, Raytheon and Leonardo will not jointly pursue the T-X competition."
Other competing partnerships included Boeing and Saab, Lockheed Martin and Korea Aerospace Industries, and Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.
U.S. defense officials initially planned to replace the T-38 in 2017, but budget cutbacks have pushed initial operating capability for the aircraft to around 2023. The Air Force plans to begin the program in 2017

Según las malas lenguas, Raytheon quería vender barato y asegurarse el contrato, Leonardo no estaba dispuesto a bajar el precio.Leonardo al parecer quiere seguir con la licitación, pero sin los gringos de socios, parece un tema de codicia, nada más.
Esta es la misma empresa que presento su modelo SM-27 "Machete" a la FAC, cuando se estaba llevando acabo el proceso de adquisición de una plataforma turbohelice... también otras empresas presentaron sus modelos ( ya sabemos que la FAC escogió al Super Tucano)
Este es el SM-27 "Machete" que básicamente es o era? un avión de "papel", porque solo se conoce render sobre su diseño mas no un prototipo, o por lo menos yo no conozco un prototipo de esta aeronave:
NATICK, Mass. (April 1, 2016) -- Army scientists have successfully "teleported" a fully equipped squad from a Massachusetts research and development facility to a training area in Germany, the Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC) announced today.
The nine human research volunteers, fresh out of Advanced Individual Training, were participating in experiments in the Doriot Climatic Chambers at NSSC when they disappeared and moments later materialized at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, completely unharmed. The chambers are capable of replicating any climate or weather in the world but have never before been used in this manner.

Ese programa tiene mil años y nada, llega el momento de tomar la decisión y dejan los vetustos TF-33, esta es del año 1996:
An unsolicited proposal for reengining 94 aircraft in the B-52 fleet was submitted to the Air Force by Boeing North American, Inc. in June 1996. Boeing proposed modernizing the B-52 fleet by replacing the current TF-33 engines with a commercial engine through a long-term leasing agreement, and providing fixed-cost, privatized maintenance based on the number of hours flown each year. Boeing's proposal included modernizing the B-52 fleet by replacing the TF-33 engines with the Allison/Rolls commercialRB-211 engine through a long-term leasing agreement and providing a fixed-cost, privatized maintenance concept through a "power-by-the-hour" arrangement. Boeing initially projected reengining cost savings of about $6 billion, but later revised the projected savings to $4.7 billion to reengine 71 B-52s. An Air Force team formed to study Boeing's proposal analyzed the lease and purchase alternatives and concluded that both options are cost prohibitive compared to maintaining the existing TF-33 engines. The General Accounting Office estimated that Boeing's unsolicited proposal to reengine the B-52 fleet would cost the Air Force approximately $1.3 billion rather than save approximately $4.7 billion as Boeing projected.

Alguien cree que los portaaviones son armas inútiles a día de hoy?
Qué podemos esperar de Trum"al mando" de las FFAA norteamericanas?
