Jassm test가 또 문제를 일으키는 모양 입니다.
2월에 있었던 lot 5 분중 10기를 발사해서 4기가 실패라고 합니다.

4기중 3기는 목표에 타격은 했으나 터지지 않은 fuze 불량이라고 합니다.
1발은 목표 지역을 벗어났다고 합니다. 기술적 문제가 아닌 신뢰성 문제라고...

가격이 계속 오르고 있는것도 문제라고, 현재 1기가 100만불 수준으로,
당초 40만불 계획에서...  현재 미공군은 ER version  및 해상형Jassm ASuW을
개발하려고 움직이고 있다고, ASuW는 2011년에 개발 시작을 하려고하며,
two-way data link 와 terminal area algorithms 을 장착하게 될것 이라고 합니다.


Jassm Remains Survivable, But Struggles


 
The U.S. Air Force is proposing to proceed with development of two new variants of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile even while the system continues to struggle with reliability.

During acceptance tests in February for Lot 5, four of 10 Jassm flights were failures, according to USAF officials. Three of the four performed nominally through impact; the fourth impacted outside the target area.

Problems with the three missiles that made it to their targets have been attributed to the fuze, says Pat Zarodkiewicz, USAF’s deputy budget director. Problems with fuze circuitry were acknowledged earlier in the program. Funding is zeroed in the Fiscal 2010 budget request for production of Lot 8 pending the outcome of acceptance testing for Lot 6 missiles. “This is a reliability issue, not a technical issue,” she says.

The recent 40% reliability rate is below results found two years ago, when testing was brought to a halt. At that time, the $6-billion program was facing increased scrutiny because of cost growth. As a result, the Pentagon conducted a full review of its suitability to proceed, including an analysis of available alternatives. The missiles are now estimated to cost about $1 million apiece, compared to the original $400,000.

=====================================================================

T-38 이 5/21일 에드워드 공군기지에 9마일 복쪽지점에서 추락하였다고... 추가 정보가 없는 상황 입니다. 훈련기 교체가 가속화되어 T-50에 기회가 빨라지려나... 타인의 불행에 할소리는 아니지만... 

A USAF T-38 Talon crashed 9 mi. north of Edwards AFB, Calif., at about 1:15 p.m. PDT on May 21, according to news reports. No casualty information was available late that day EDT. The advanced jet trainer is a backbone aircraft for government pilots and astronauts and is a testbed for experimental equipment. Test pilots and flight test engineers are trained in T-38s at the Air Force’s Test Pilot School at Edwards.
