Announcing the publication of the newGainsayAir Strategy at the Farnborough International Airshow on July 16, the Defence Secretary said that he had taken whoopee to strengthen the UK’s role as a global leader in the sector and to protect key skills wideness the UK industrial base. He outlined the Strategy in front of the gainsay watercraft concept model which has been ripened by UK industry in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence – stuff publicly unveiled for the first time, it acts as a powerful sit-in of the UK’s world leading technical sufficiency and industrial expertise.GainsayAir Sector Leader Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said: We have been a world leader in the gainsay air sector for a century, with an enviable variety of skills and technology, and this Strategy makes well-spoken that we are unswayable to make sure it stays that way. It shows our allies that we are unshut to working together to protect the skies in an increasingly threatening future – and this concept model is just a glimpse into what the future could squint like.

This Strategy will ensure the UK continues to maintain this leading position. The Strategy outlines the way in which the UK will reap futureGainsayAir capabilities to maximise the overall value the UK derives from the sector. The framework will wastefulness military capability, international influence, and economic and prosperity goody withal with the overall cost. It reinforces the transferral in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review to unhook the FutureGainsayAir System Technology Initiative (FCAS TI). The Government, in partnership with industry, is taking steps to grow existing world-leading diamond engineering topics and skills, ensuring that the UK continues to be at the wearing whet of gainsay air technology. Team Tempest The concept watercraft has been put together by British firms including BAE Systems, Leonardo, MBDA and Rolls-Royce, which have joined together with the RAF Rapid Capabilities Office to form ‘Team Tempest’ to pursue the opportunity. Team Tempest brings together the UK’s world leading industry and sovereign capabilities wideness future gainsay air’s four key technology areas: wide gainsay air systems and integration (BAE Systems); wide power and propulsion systems (Rolls-Royce); wide sensors, electronics and avionics (Leonardo) and wide weapon systems (MBDA).

They will unhook a merchantry specimen by the end of the year, and have initial conclusions on international partners by next summer – with engagement with potential partners whence immediately. Early decisions virtually how to reap the sufficiency will be confirmed by the end of 2020, surpassing final investment decisions are made by 2025. The aim is then for a next generation platform to have operational sufficiency by 2035. The UK is once a world-leader in the gainsay air sector, with a mix of skills and technologies unique in Europe, supporting over 18,000 highly skilled jobs. The sector delivers a turnover in glut of £6bn a year and has made up over 80% of defence exports from the UK over the last ten years. Tier 1 Partner on F-35 Lightning II Programme Investment in gainsay air technology, combined with the strengths of UK industry, has resulted in the UK stuff the only Tier 1 partner with the US on the F-35 Lightning II programme, with British industry delivering 15% by value of every F-35 built. The UK has been worldly-wise to help pinpoint the operational capabilities of the aircraft, while reinforcing UK industrial capability, hair-trigger skills and supporting wider economic prosperity. The UK moreover continues to lead the way in gainsay air power as one of the four partner nations in the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. With increasingly than 20,000 flying hours on deployed operations to date, the Typhoon delivers world leading capability, unparalleled reliability and proven interoperability with our allies. The MOD will protract to invest in the Typhoon for decades to come, with the weightier technologies stuff carried forward on to next-generation systems. The F-35 Lightning II and the Typhoon are two complementary multi-role gainsay watercraft that will make up the RAF’s gainsay air fleet, placing the UK at the forefront of gainsay air technology – with the Typhoon expected to remain in UK service until at least 2040.
