Sound energy emerges as next-gen drone defense tool

Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. ("FRACTAL") has introduced a disruptive technology known as Acoustic Resonance Mitigation (ARM), which uses targeted acoustic energy to take down drones. ARM operates by directing sonic, ultrasonic, or subsonic waves at drones, creating destabilizing vibrations or disturbances in the boundary layer airflow. These effects can render a drone incapable of stable

El nuevo contrato para el caza de Boeing se aleja de los contratos de precio fijo

Resumen:

Actores principales:

1. Boeing: Compañía que ha ganado el contrato para el desarrollo del nuevo caza F-47 de sexta generación para la Fuerza Aérea de los EE.UU.

2. Fuerza Aérea de los EE.UU.: Contratante del desarrollo y pruebas del F-47.

3. Lockheed Martin: Competidor, fabricante del F-35, y perdedor del contrato.

4. Northrop Grumman: Contratista del nuevo bombardero B-21.

Puntos clave:

1. Contrato tipo "cost-plus-incentive-fee": A diferencia de contratos anteriores de precio fijo, este contrato es flexible y permite ajustar los costos, lo que representa un cambio significativo para Boeing, que ha tenido pérdidas millonarias con contratos de precio fijo en el pasado.

2. Desarrollo y pruebas: El contrato incluye la maduración, integración y prueba de la plataforma NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance), y la producción de un número limitado de aviones de prueba.

3. Opciones de producción inicial: Incluye opciones competitivas para la producción inicial de aviones de bajo volumen.

4. Costos y sobrecostos anteriores: Boeing ha enfrentado grandes sobrecostos en programas de defensa previos, como el KC-46A y el Air Force One, debido a contratos de precio fijo. Estos han superado los $7 mil millones y $3 mil millones, respectivamente.

Costes:

• Se estima que el contrato de desarrollo e ingeniería del F-47 tiene un valor superior a $20 mil millones.

• El costo por unidad del F-47 es alrededor de $300 millones.

Motores a utilizar:

• Aún no se ha seleccionado el motor para el F-47.

Relevancia del cambio a un contrato no de precio fijo: El cambio a un contrato "cost-plus-incentive-fee" es crucial porque Boeing ha tenido pérdidas significativas en los últimos 20 años debido a sobrecostos de contratos de precio fijo. Esto les permite manejar mejor los riesgos y ajustar los costos según sea necesario, lo que es clave para asegurar el éxito de este ambicioso programa, especialmente dado el contexto de crisis en otros segmentos de Boeing (como el 737 MAX y el 787).
