EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Pratt & Whitney warns that cutbacks in F-35 procurement and the termination of the F-22 will lead to at least three years of lower-volume production of fifth-generation combat engines, seriously challenging its cost-reduction goals for the Joint Strike Fighter engine. “The challenge is to get to more than 50 engines [per year], and then the volume is flat to down slightly through 2015,” says Pratt & Whitney Military Engines President Bennett Croswell. “That challenge is exacerbated by other systems coming down or going away.”
The U.S. Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) office has unveiled details of its ORS-4 rail-launched satellite experiment. Dubbed “Super Stripey,” ORS-4 will combine the Scout launch missile rail system at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., and at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, with the Stripey target system at Sandia National Laboratory. Working with Aerojet, ORS is developing an expanded, three-stage, solid-rocket version of the original sounding rocket.
