еще раз - лепят то, на что хватает денег. то есть самую простую систему - скорпион. но и ту постоянно переносят, потому что денег нет даже на нее. сейчас по плану - деплой скорпиона в 2020 году. фантазии про шлем от F-35 - в теме про альтернативную историю- Вывод уже лет 10 там всем известен: чего-то очень хорошего всё ещё до полного ума не доведено, а лепить что-то простое - ни интереса, ни срочной потребности просто нет. F-22 и так всех валит, вот никто и "не чешется" в этом плане...
значит проблема с по и программистами. интересно было бы еще узнать, как на F-18 LOAL организовали, кто наведение ракеты в задней полусфере дает.- Как же нет?! А Lockheed Martin AN/AAR-56 infraredand ultraviolet Missile Launch Detector (MLD)?

Фактически то же самое, что и DAS F-35-ом:
Что мешает поставить на F-22 аппаратуру DAS?
- Не думаю, что каких-то совсем уж фантастических.
Полмашины переделывать?тут пишут, что возможно на F-22 поставят DAS, EOTS, новый радар и даже Link 16

The Winners Of Trump’s Pentagon Budget—And A Few Losers
Feb 16, 2018Lara Seligman | Aviation Week & Space Technology
COMMENTS 51
The era of large defense budgets is back, with the Pentagon unveiling an ambitious spending plan that seeks to pivot from the counterterrorism operations that have shaped the last decade to the great-power conflicts that will define the future.
A two-year budget agreement paves the way for lawmakers to fund defense at $700 billion in fiscal 2018 and $716 billion in fiscal 2019, and hopefully avoid devastating budget gridlock next year. In fiscal 2018 alone, this is an 11% increase over fiscal 2017, and a 20% increase over the post-sequestration low in fiscal 2015.
The Pentagon is taking advantage of the windfall to invest in emerging technologies, such as hypersonics and swarming drones, to counter the evolving threat from potential adversaries such as Russia and China. But the department is also putting cash toward much-needed modernization across the board, including its fighter fleet and the nuclear triad, and critical maintenance of aging equipment.
“Great-power competition, not terrorism, has emerged as the central challenge to U.S. security and prosperity,” Undersecretary of Defense(Comptroller) David Norquist said Feb. 12 during the budget rollout. “Our nation’s strategy seeks areas of cooperation with competitors from a position of strength. But we recognize that, if unaddressed, the eroding U.S. military advantage versus China and Russia could undermine our ability to deter aggression and coercion in key strategic regions.” As a result, programs across the board are in line for a cash infusion. Some of the biggest winners include:
The Navy took advantage of the defense windfall to boost its aviation accounts, asking for 120 new aircraft this year alone. The seafaring service has made it clear they want more F/A-18E/F Super Hornets—a lot more. Reversing the previous administration’s plan to phase out the Boeing fighter in favor of the F-35C, the Navy is now planning to buy 110 additional Super Hornets over the next five years. Congress could intercede, however, if the Navy does not make progress getting to the root of a spike in hypoxialike physiological events across the existing fleet that may indicate a problem with the design of the oxygen system. Other big-ticket items on the Navy’s to-buy list this year include Boeing P-8s, Sikorsky CH-53Ks and Bell-Boeing V-22s.
The Air Force’s research and development budget is set to explode in fiscal 2019, eclipsing even the requested procurement funding. Some of the money will go toward big-ticket modernization items, such as the B-21 bomber and the Next-Generation Air Dominance family of systems, which could include a next-generation fighter to replace the F-35, Lockheed’s F-22 air superiority fighter, or both. But with China emerging as the Air Force’s primary competitor, it will also be used to develop “game-changing technologies,” such as hypersonic aircraft and missiles, directed energy, unmanned autonomous platforms, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology.
Lifting the budget caps means Christmas has come early for defense contractors, with the Pentagon able to put billions more dollars toward buying weapons, sustaining the ones they already own and investing in new technology. Boeing is a big winner, with a potential multiyear deal on the horizon that could keep the Super Hornet production line hot for years to come, and a pledge by the Air Force and Navy to buy an eye-popping 43,594 Joint Direct Attack Munitions in fiscal 2019.
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin will also cash in on the Pentagon’s plan to spend $20.7 billion on missile programs this year alone. Lockheed and Boeing will also benefit from increased spending on missile defense in light of recent aggression by North Korea. But most important, the two-year deal will finally give defense contractors and subcontractors the funding stability they need to be most productive.
On the heels of the Trump administration’s unveiling of the Nuclear Posture Review, the fiscal 2019 budget boosts spending across the board for modernization of the U.S. nuclear triad: the Navy’s new Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarine, the Air Force’s B-21, the next-generation Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent, and the nuclear-tipped Long-Range Standoff Weapon (LRSO) that will arm the B-21 and B-52 bombers.
The Pentagon will also begin buying significant quantities of Boeing’s precision-guided tail-kit assembly for the B61-12 nuclear bomb that will arm nuclear-certified U.S. and NATO aircraft such as the F-35. But notably absent from the Pentagon’s budget rollout on Feb. 12 were any details about the Trump administration’s planned low-yield nuclear warhead for the submarine-launched Trident D5 fleet ballistic missile or the proposed sea-launched nuclear cruise missile.
As Russia and China invest in new missile capabilities and North Korea continues its aggressive push to develop nuclear weapons, the Trump administration’s National Defense Strategy (NDS) calls for investment in missile defense. In addition to continuing to develop exquisite solutions to counter traditional ballistic missiles, such as next-generation radars, missiles and exoatmospheric kill vehicles, the Missile Defense Agency proposes spending about $780 million in fiscal 2019 to ramp up experimentation with drone-borne sensors and laser weapons technologies to foil potential adversaries’ pursuit of asymmetric threats.
The Vietnam-era B-52, fielded in the early 1960s, will continue to fly even after the much newer Rockwell B-1B and Northrop Grumman B-2 are gone, according to the Air Force’s new bomber road map. Eventually, the service’s entire bomber fleet will be made up of the venerable “BUFF” and an aircraft almost 100 years younger—the next-generation B-21.
The Air Force has already spent more than half a century installing various avionics and weapons systems upgrades on the B-52, but the latest shift means a plan to replace its eight original Pratt & Whitney TF33-103 turbofan engines will move forward full-steam, adding range, reducing fuel burn and boosting power generation. It also ensures the future of the LRSO, as the B-52 will need a next-generation standoff weapon to keep pace with the threat well into the century.
As the threat evolves across all domains, the NDS also highlights the importance of staying in front of technology changes. To maintain the U.S. military’s edge, the Pentagon is investing in emerging technology: hypersonics, including high-speed strike weapons; autonomy, such as swarming drones; cyber-integrated defenses; space resilience; electronic warfare; artificial intelligence; and directed energy.
The Navy in particular is putting money toward developing high-energy lasers, asking for $299 million for the Navy Laser Family of Systems, a rapid prototyping effort that aims to provide near-term ship-based laser weapon capabilities. The service plans to develop and install a number of prototypes in fiscal 2019. Meanwhile, the Air Force is continuing its investment in fielding a high-energy laser on a fighter.
The Pentagon’s investment in space, particularly defense of space assets, also spiked, with the Air Force’s space account getting a 9% increase. Officials say this budget marks a turning point in military space programs, as adversaries such as Russia and China build capabilities that can threaten U.S. access and freedom to operate in space. In particular, the U.S. is shifting its strategy for the future of its most advanced nuclear missile-warning satellites, canceling the purchase of the Space-Based Infrared Satellites (SBIRS) 7 and 8 and instead moving to development of an “evolved SBIRS” or E-SBIRS and a Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared system.
The Air Force and Navy are committed to sustaining their fourth-generation fighters, with both services increasing funding for aviation readiness through their operations and maintenance accounts. Meanwhile, both are investing in modernization as well. The Navy is continuing an effort to extend the life of its legacy McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A-D Hornets, including an airframe extension, new conformal fuel tanks to extend range, a more powerful computer and advanced cockpit displays. The Air Force, after floating the possibility of retiring its McDonnell Douglas F-15C/D Eagles in favor of upgraded General Dynamics F-16s, is now investing millions to upgrade all of its legacy fleets: the F-15s, F-16s and A-10 Warthogs.
President Donald Trump promised a significant funding hike for the military on the campaign trail and he has finally delivered, with a deal that is more than the Pentagon dared hope for just months ago. The two-year plan he signed Feb. 9 has prompted applause from Republican lawmakers and will play well with Trump’s base. It shows the administration is taking seriously the emerging threats from potential adversaries such as Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, and the need to maintain the health of U.S. forces. But the buildup may be short-lived, some analysts caution, as the spike in federal spending, combined with Trump’s recent tax cut, will cause the deficit to skyrocket.
Most accounts received a boost in funding, but not all programs were left standing. The Air Force’s plans to kill an effort to replace the aging Northrop Grumman E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System surveillance and battle management fleet with a similar platform, and phase out the Rockwell B-1B and Northrop Grumman B-2 bombers as the next-generation B-21 comes online, are part of a broader move to streamline and evolve in a changing threat environment. But Trump’s decision to cut purchases of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 in the short-term compared to those planned by the previous administration’s leaves some observers scratching their heads.
The Air Force will attempt to kill an ongoing program to replace the aging Northrop Grumman E-8C Joint Stars surveillance and battle management fleet with a similar platform—if Congress allows it. Instead, the service wants to eventually transition to a next-generation “advanced battle management system,” but so far that capability remains undefined. To fill any gaps in the meantime, the Air Force will modernize seven of its Boeing E-3 Airborne Warning Command and Control aircraft with improved cockpit and navigation systems, and keep the current J-Stars operational through the mid-2020s. Although the service hopes there will be no impact to the mission, the three industry teams that have spent the last few years developing prototypes for the J-Stars recapitalization program will surely be disappointed.
The Air Force is planning to sunset the B-1B and B-2 bombers as the next-generation B-21 comes online in the mid-2020s. Although aviation enthusiasts will be sad to see the supersonic B-1 and stealthy B-2 go, the decision makes sense from a cost perspective. Those aircraft, though younger by decades than the B-52, have lower readiness rates and are more costly to operate. Meanwhile, the B-2 fleet, at just 20 units in the active force, is quite small.
Another advantage of retiring the B-2s and B-1s is that it simplifies management and logistics—instead of having three types of bombers, the Air Force will have just two large fleets. And the communities surrounding the existing B-1 and B-2 bomber bases need not fear—“if they have a bomber base now they are going to have a bomber base in the future,” says Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson.
With the defense spending windfall, many observers expected Trump’s Pentagon to ramp up purchases of Lockheed Martin’s F-35. But instead, the Pentagon has actually cut planned buys of the fighter in the short-term compared to the previous administration’s road map. The decrease is not a huge reduction—329 F-35s from fiscal 2018-21 versus 341—but it is significant given the increase in defense funding. Until recently, Air Force and Marine Corps leaders repeatedly made the case to Congress that more F-35s, and faster, will allow them to rejuvenate aging fleets while bringing production costs down. Meanwhile, the Air Force is investing $9.89 billion over the next five years to develop an “integrated family of systems and technologies” to ensure air superiority well into the decade, which will likely include a next-generation fighter.
