We are contractually committed to two and they will be

delivered in 2014-2015 in the United States for testing and training purposes.

We have previously announced a commitment to purchase

another 12 and that commitment will occur but it will occur two years after the previously anticipated timetable.

We remain committed to the Joint Strike Fighter project

Production – approx 3-4 months behind (mainly

due to recent strike)

Flight test – overall slightly ahead of schedule

(approx 35% complete for CTOL) – but CTOL slightly behind

Development Phase – still adequately funded
Software development – better – but some delay,

and migration of capability – Block 1 delivered – Block 2A – four months late – Block 3I – through dev flight test April 2015 – Block 3F – through dev flight test August 2017 – A developmental program and there is still risk in the software schedule

Why Seek JSF Work?

Only the JSF Partner nations can bid for JSF work on the 3000

planned Partner aircraft

The work is very much high value added
L-M and other primes tend to provide access to training and

accreditation that allow companies to bid for other high tech work.

JSF – once at full production – will be a significant source of business

for involved industry

JSF sustainment offers some businesses ongoing opportunities for the

period out to 2040+

world. As part of the F-35 program, Quickstep has successfully
vercome the many entry barriers faced by new participants in the

defence manufacturing sector, possibly the highest of any industry in the world….”

FMS vs Partner

Bidding for the manufacture of parts for partner aircraft limited to

Partner nation industry

FMS can make parts for their own aircraft and other FMS customers
However, FMS can negotiate with US companies to get some of their

‘strategic’ business

Japan:

– They will have a FACO for their aircraft, and perhaps other FMS aircraft.

Israel:

– In media that Israel will make some wing sets on behalf of L-M
