Some woke progressive fanny that's for sure.
And a coward too.

BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems (CMS) business, which focuses on combat vehicle and weapon systems design and manufacturing for the U.S. military, today published its 2022 Economic Impact Report.
The report details how the company’s network of manufacturing sites, suppliers, and thousands of employees had a $1.9 billion impact on the U.S. economy and served as a critical source of growth and investment in communities across the country.

Through operations at its 12 sites, BAE Systems’ ground vehicle, amphibious vehicle and weapon systems product lines contributed to local families and economies by providing more than 5,000 jobs and strategic partnerships with over 2,000 suppliers across 48 states. For example, BAE Systems’ sites in Elgin, Okla. and Aiken, S.C., key ground vehicle production sites, each contributed more than $50 million to the economy in 2022.

Germany being consistant.......

Dassault chief executive Eric Trappier has expressed his concern that German reluctance to sanction arms exports to certain countries will hamper the success of the trinational Future Combat Air System (FCAS).

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Marine Corps wants manufacturers to “go full speed” in developing a new reconnaissance vehicle, despite having no concrete quantity in mind and potentially needing fewer than anticipated.

But industry appears undeterred.

The service announced in its spring update to the Force Design 2030 modernization plan that it discovered a “requirement for littoral, multi-domain reconnaissance capabilities that our light armored reconnaissance (LAR) battalions do not currently provide.”

Future mobile reconnaissance battalions are expected to conduct littoral, multidomain missions with the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle, a program in development to replace the legacy Light Armored Vehicle. General Dynamics Land Systems and Textron designed prototypes from scratch, and BAE Systems modified its Amphibious Combat Vehicle to meet mission needs. All three prototypes are in testing at Camp Pendleton, California.

I wonder if this is linked to the above (HAPS) article......

Aviation climate commitment and £115 million combat air technology boosts at RIAT

A £115m contract will create a ‘flying electronics laboratory’ to develop our future combat air technology, it has been announced at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT).

Thanks for posting that. I had looked for a defense ETF in the past but obviously didn't look hard enough!
I quite like owning the likes of the mighty Rheinmettal and the like. After Ukraine is resolved BAe is only likely to gain a small piece of the pie.

Yes the Germans can stop sale of new aircraft but their 'weak' export ban to support existing aircraft has quietly disappeared. We will see Ribble Wader !

British engineers have successfully completed a stratospheric flight trial of BAE Systems’ High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) - PHASA-35.
Over a 24-hour period, PHASA-35 soared to more than 66,000 feet, reaching the stratosphere, before landing successfully. The trial, completed last month in New Mexico in the USA, allowed engineers to assess the performance of the experimental solar-electric drone within the outer-reaches of the planet’s atmosphere.

The flight marks a significant milestone in PHASA-35’s development which began in 2018. Designed by BAE Systems’ subsidiary Prismatic Ltd to operate above the weather and conventional air traffic, it has the potential to provide a persistent and stable platform for various uses including ultra-long endurance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as security.

Not with the Germans saying they will not allow the supply of Typhons to Saudi!

BAE Systems has launched a new division within its Air Sector called FalconWorks™. It is a new centre for advanced and agile research and development designed to deliver a range of cutting-edge combat air capabilities to the UK and its allies.

FalconWorks will focus on generating ideas, innovation and collaboration – working with new and existing partners, academia, research organisations, SMEs and national governments to deliver rapid concepting of new products and services needed by air force customers to maintain their edge.

In a recent appearance before the Defence Select Committee, General Sir Nick Carter, the former Chief of the General Staff, laid bare the challenges that the British Army has faced in its efforts to modernise its armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) programmes.

The candid discussion painted a picture of an institution grappling with evolving warfare requirements, internal divisions, and procurement difficulties.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded BAE Systems a £870m contract to deliver a new radar to enhance the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) Typhoon fighter jet fleet and strengthen the aircraft’s control of the airspace whilst providing cutting-edge electronic warfare capabilities.

Research by Oxford Economics has revealed the extent to which BAE Systems contributes to the UK economy through jobs, research & development and national supply chains.
BAE Systems is delivering some of the world’s most advanced defence programmes, from Dreadnought submarines to next-generation combat air systems. This critical work relies on the skill, expertise and dedication of employees, contractors, trade unions and suppliers across the country.

Last year, BAE Systems’ operations supported 132,000 full-time equivalent jobs nationwide, benefiting every region of the UK and the Company contributed £11 billion to GDP – equivalent to 0.4% of the domestic economy.

BAE Systems has successfully tested manned- unmanned teaming (MUM-T) on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) C4UAS as a technology demonstration using IAI/ELTA Systems Ltd’s Rex MK II Unmanned Infantry Combat Support System.

The teaming technology enhances mission effectiveness through greater situational awareness and decision making capabilities.

The successful demonstration of MUM-T capabilities shows the versatility of the built-in growth capacity in the ACV C4UAS. The ability to incorporate MUM-T into mission planning expands mission parameters and tactical sphere while decreasing the risk to human and technological assets in uncertain or hostile environments.

“This is an exciting next chapter to show the growth potential of the ACV C4UAS,” said Garrett Lacaillade, vice president of the Amphibious Vehicles product line for BAE Systems. “Pairing an unmanned system like the Rex provides increased situational awareness, supports mission success, and reduces the risk to our Marines.”
The ACV is an adaptable amphibious platform built to meet the operational needs of the Marine Corps, allowing space for new capabilities as technology evolves such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, anti-air, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) systems integration. Built in partnership with Iveco Defence Vehicles, the ACV is a unique mix of true open-ocean amphibious capability, land mobility, survivability, payload, and growth potential.

I don't think this is about Typhoon

[ribblewader] 27/6/2023 08:06

boomorbust. Typhoon does not have the same maintenance depths as Tornado. Line and depth is all. Line is fault diagnostic followed by LRI replacement. Depth is, mainly, an industry based guarenteed TRT. Cant see Saudi getting that much dedicated industry support in country.

"Except I think the Saudi's would want something in return for a multi billion pound order. The last aircraft they bought were Hawk's which were assembled in Saudi. Typhoon is more complicated so such a proposition unlikely but I'm sure they would some work transferred to Saudi and that could be a sticking point."

Possibly would be in the form of 3rd line repair facilities in Kingdom - which they have already been doing increasingly with Tornado and would fit in with their 2030 vision of more saudisation of work.

[rodbender1] 22/6/2023 19:44

Reading that Saudi is linked again for a follow on Typhoon order does not surprise me. And if they want to sell 150-200 aircraft then a large chunk of that would have to come from the Middle East. The Saudi's have the money and an ageing fleet of aircraft plus of course they did sign a MOU for 48 aircraft which didn't come to fruition due to the German arms ban.
Now all could be clear. Except I think the Saudi's would want something in return for a multi billion pound order. The last aircraft they bought were Hawk's which were assembled in Saudi. Typhoon is more complicated so such a proposition unlikely but I'm sure they would some work transferred to Saudi and that could be a sticking point.
