New Queer? for the fleet, EF-18G
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) |

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) |

Red Rider was apparently having a bad day. Most of us will post the URL of a news article we're discussing. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2003Dec29.html [Noting that sometimes, even with that day's hard copy of the Washington Post in my hand, I've had trouble finding an article of interest on the web site. Which is why I always look it up on the web site before posting about it here. So that I can include the URL, once I've managed to find it. ;-] -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast] |

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!

I've been playing around the DoD world, either in the military or working for them via a beltway bandit, since 1961 and I've *never* seen information about a contract's SOW, milestones, DT/OT/IOC, etc., published in a newspaper article. Or in a website article. Or in a magazine article. I generally see snippets of info on that sort of thing in the presentations put out by the Program Office's or Manufacturer/Prime Contractor's Power Point Rangers. Maybe you want to try an FOI request with DoN for the info you are seeking. -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast] |

Hey OJ
Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, I'm confused. I asked a question to the group, not just him about any other details the group might have other than the news article, because I would be truly interested. Then all I get is flack, like I'm a dumbass for asking. First 'J' responded with " JEEZ, its a news article". I knew that it was just a news article, thats why I told him to go Jeez hisself when he attacked my question to the group, and I guess you meant that to be for you? it wasn't. And yes I know about being PP to death, I have a "few" on MMA and ACS/EP3, thats why I asked if anyone had any info on it. I also work for a PMA. Guess I asked for too much. Shoulda known better, but I'm not ignorant.

I think maybe you're not reading the right magazines, then. The serious trade press (Defense Daily, Aerospace Daily, Inside the Pentagon, etc.) will often discuss milestones, DT/OT, IOC dates, and so forth. A lot of this info will even show up in slightly less hard-core pubs like Aviation Week and Defense News. For EA-18, we can even find this info online in pubs like Seapower (not usually a great refernce, but a good start in this case). From mid 2002: "The company estimates that the aircraft's Systems Design and Development phase could begin in fiscal year 2004, with initial operational capability reached in 2009. " http://www.navyleague.org/sea_power/june_02_08.php The EA-18G did in fact pass Milestone B (Approaval to begin System Design and Development) late in 2003 and Boeing received a contract for EA-18G SDD on the 29th (which is what prompted this thread). -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed) |

The Navy apparently doesn't think so, or they wouldn't have awarded a large contract to develop the aircraft. F/A-18E/F is "built and flying". EF-18G has been under discussion and preliminary development for some time, so the contract is no surprise. -- Andrew Toppan --- --- "I speak only for myself" "Haze Gray & Underway" - Naval History, DANFS, World Navies Today, Photo Features, Military FAQs, and more - http://www.hazegray.org/ |
