Confusion Arises Over the JSTARS Recap Plan
Senior U.S. Air Force leaders said that source selection would proceed on schedule, even as the requirement is re-assessed.
Lockheed Martin’s proposal for a new JSTARS uses the Bombardier Global 6000 as the platform. The bid is led by the company’s Skunk Works facility, which displayed (inset) a full-scale cutaway model of the jet’s interior at the AFA Conference this week. Six of the 10 operator consoles can be seen here, but the U.S. Air Force may scrap the requirement for airborne battle management. (Photos: Chris Pocock)
