Any details on the contract? How about the SOW? I'd be interested to
see it, along with the milestones and when DT/OT/IOC is supposed to take place. On Tue, 30 Dec 2003 04:57:06 GMT, "J" wrote: Boeing won a $1 billion contract yesterday (12/29/03) to develop an electronic attack version of the Super Hornet called the EA-18G. (from Washington Post) |

Unsat J,
Thanks to O.J for pasting the link, (which says absolutely nothing about the questions I asked), so go "JEEZ" yourself for cryin out loud! Do you even know what DT/OT and IOC are? I'll leave it at that. Yeah, there were some pictures of a "Growler" with jammer pods floating around about 3 years ago, with CAG-3 and HST lettering on it. We could never tell if it was a touched up photo or not. I was under the impression it was just an F model with pods slung on it for photo ops. We all knew it was pretty much a done deal. Lots of questions remain about when and where the testing and eventually the home basing will be. If Whidbey wants it, they better hurry up and build an engine test cell that won't get melted by them GE 400's. On Tue, 30 Dec 2003 13:44:05 GMT, "J" wrote: Jezzz!

The ESM pods on the wingtips have been flown and have gone through extensive integration work. The simulator and avionics integration work has been going on for at least 7 years as I flew the sim in St Louis back in the 96 timeframe. It's evolved nicely and I flew the more recent verion on a roadshow at Andrews last year. All in all Boeing/Mcair as put a lot of their own money into this project over the last little bit knowing the Navy would figure out the Prowler was going to die much quicker than the projected. I would regard the technology as low risk, the question will be more who gives up a slot for E/F production if the Navy decides they want the airframes sooner than 09. The next issue is why keep them at Whidbey (except for airspace and whole lot of other reasons not the least of which is Elk hunting and steelhead fishing) ;^ Pugs |

The next issue is why keep them at Whidbey (except for airspace and
whole lot of other reasons not the least of which is Elk hunting and steelhead fishing) ;^ Ah I remember it well. The VAQ-35 Ops Rod and Gun club. The wind would be howling snow flurries coming down at an 85 degree angle. These knuckel heads would show up at work. Get the 75 minutes of work that they would spend all day doing done in about 60 minutes. And then ask if they could go out and lay in a freshly harvested corn field and wait for a duck to fly over..... At least the squadron picknic later that month was interesting when the bachelors would show up with a meat dish. The Wives Club girls from the big city would be scarfing down huge quanities of duck or some other animal of the wild until they learned the truth. I though one or two was going to puke on the spot. Back to the subject... What happens to the fly by wire jet when the master bad is turned on? Can you say EMI? |
