摘要

The newest competition in Washington is for biggest loser. Both industry and the military will suffer substantially if the Apr. 6 budget recommendations of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates are implemented. Gates wants to ax the Pentagon's two most high-profile rotorcraft projects-the Combat Search-and-Rescue (CSAR-X) and VH-71 presidential helicopters-essentially wiping clean the drawing board for new starts in military helicopters for the foreseeable future.rnnot equipped with the required capabilities. Eight of nine Increment 1 VH-71s have been delivered for flight-testing, and one industry analyst questions the financial wisdom of canceling a contract so close to completion of delivery.rnAlthough industry has been largely silent on Gates's decisions, Lockheed Martin allows it is "assessing the impact" the cuts would have on its program and workforce. Despite its size, the VH-71 program accounts for only about 1% of Lockheed Martin's bottomrnits way through the Pentagon's Joint Requirements Oversight Council or if it will have to pour whatever ARH money is left into upgrading its aging Kiowa Warrior fleet instead.rnThe JFTL is locked in a turf war between the Air Force and the Army. Just when it looked as though the Air Force was going to give ground on vertical-lift requirements, Brig. Gen. Walter Davis, director of Army Aviation, said the two services are still "trying to resolve some differences."
