Podcasts about joint strike fighter

Carney is the only major NATO leader not invited to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today in Washington. Why? Because Carney continues to muse about buying Swedish-made fighter jets instead of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. PLUS: Why Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is leading the Canadian conservative movement.Canada's fighter jet debacle exposes major political missteps. Why is Mark Carney pushing for Swedish Gripens over interoperable F-35s? This move risks weakening Canada's defense strategy and alienating key allies like the U.S. With Carney doubling down on costly, impractical decisions, is this another example of out-of-touch leadership? From Trudeau's missteps to Carney's baffling strategy, this video breaks down the chaos behind Canada's fighter jet procurement and its impact on our military and international relations.Stay informed amidst censorship and media bias.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program seems to transcend generations. The first copy took flight back in 2006. The capable but finicky aircraft continues to have maintenance and manufacturing problems. Now it has a new program manager on the contractor end of the program. Earlier Federal News Network's Tom Temin spoke with Lockheed Martin's Chauncey McIntosh.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We hear from Amanda Villalobos who is an activist from the south east of Naarm and comes from a long line of activists from Latin America and has been a lifelong supporter of the Palestinian struggle. She has been involved in organising rallies in support of Palestine in the south east of Naarm since October last year and has been the Picket Captain at the North Gate of AW Bell. In a speech given at the Free Palestine Naarm Rally on 30 June 2024, Amanda spoke about the importance of picketing weapons manufacturing factories and to join the global struggle against the oppression of Indigenous people all around the world, including Palestinians, West Papuans and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in "Australia".  Stella joins us to speak about the campaign to Shut Down Electromold. Electromold Thomastown is the only currently known Chemical processing facility in Australia allowed to work with Lockheed Martin and Boeing in producing finished components, including for the F-35 Lightning 2 Joint Strike Fighter. Electromold, a subsidiary of Lovitt Technologies, supports a number of other companies in the supply chain process, including HTA and AW Bell. This coming Thursday (4 July) there will be an open community picket of Electromold in Thomastown against weapons manufacturing in so-called Australia.   Ness is Coordinator of SNIS - the Support Network for International Students and chairperson of Gabriela Australia, and is also a long time feminist and activist. Ness joins us this morning to talk about organising against the working hours cap, 485 Visa changes and the protest that was held last night in support of international students. Sue McKinnon is the President of Kinglake Friends of the Forest. Sue joins us to talk about the state government's burning of our forests under the banner of fuel reduction and the lack of oversight when it comes to logging/burning activity carried out by Forest Fire Management Victoria.  We hear from Madi Curkovic who is a Monash Student Association Queer Officer and an organiser at Students for Palestine Monash. She is also one of the nine students at Monash being threatened with expulsion or suspension for organising the Gaza solidarity encampment at Monash. In a speech given at the Free Palestine Naarm Rally on 30 June 2024, Madi spoke about the complicity of universities and educational institutions in Israel's genocide of Palestine and the silencing of pro-Palestinian students on campus.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Last Friday 21st June, Disrupt Land Forces had its first public meeting (at Black Spark, Northcote) to plan actions in protest of 'Land Forces', a massive weapons expo and conference which will be running this year from September 11-13 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Ongoing actions in the previous host-city Magandjin (Brisbane) forced the conference to relocate to Naarm, and Disrupt Land Forces hope this year for the same - if not greater - level of disruption of harms dealers and their investors, both at the event and in the week leading up to it. Before the planning meeting various frontline community members and activists spoke of their experiences at the hands of the global military industrial complex, and the importance of international solidarity against imperialist structures. On today's show, we played a speech from the event by Adolf Mora, West Papuan community member and activist. Content warning: this speech includes mention of suicide in detention. If you are feeling distressed, you can always call lifeline on 13 11 14 or the suicide callback service on 1300 659 467. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners can also contact 13 YARN (13 92 76), or Yarning Safe'n'Strong on 1800 959 563.// Since the early days of Israel's genocidal onslaught in Gaza, community activists have been staging pickets outside companies involved in the weapons manufacturing supply chain across so-called Australia, including AW Bell in Dandenong. Amanda Villalobos, local activist and participant in community pickets of AW Bell, joins us this morning to speak about the upcoming picket at AW Bell this Monday the 1st of July, aiming to close operations for the day to disrupt the company's role in the global supply chain of Lockheed Martin's F-35A Lightning II aircraft or Joint Strike Fighter. Find out more about the action and keep up to date by heading to Weapons Out Of Naarm on Instagram.// Researcher and organiser Matilda Byrne joins us to speak about Australia's place in the artificial intelligence and autonomous capabilities arms race, which she recently authored an article about for Declassified Australia. By marketing itself as a site for AI innovation and framing this issue as a key area of defence policy, Australia is deeply embedded in global networks of weapons development further integrating autonomous functions into technologies of war and genocide. Matilda is currently undertaking a PhD at RMIT's Social and Global Studies Centre where she is a sessional lecturer in international relations, security, global governance and disarmament. She is the National Coordinator of the Australia Stop Killer Robots campaign, based at SafeGround, an Australian non-for-profit that seeks to reduce impacts of legacy and emerging weapons.// Martin Hodgson, senior advocate at the Foreign Prisoners Support Service and co-host of Curtain the Podcast, speaks with us about the colonial crisis of domestic and family violence in so-called Australia. This conversation occurs in the context of Martin's recent appearance at a Parliamentary hearing held as part of the ongoing inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children. While the Senate referred an inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee on 4th August 2022, the inquiry process continues, with the reporting date extended to 15th August 2024. Content warning: this interview includes discussion of domestic and family violence, femicide and racism. If you are feeling distressed, you can always call lifeline on 13 11 14 or the suicide callback service on 1300 659 467. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners can also contact 13 YARN (13 92 76), or Yarning Safe'n'Strong on 1800 959 563.

Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia, and Karla appeared alongside CEO Patty Kinnersly to provide evidence on the significance of primary prevention and the importance of attending to colonialism and racism in the context of the inquiry.//

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Nathalie Farah of Disrupt Wars joined us live from the community picket that's been running weekly on Thursday and Friday mornings outside Heat Treatment Australia in Campbellfield. The picket has been established and maintained into its seventh week by members of the local Hume community in support of Palestine, who are protesting against HTA's role in heat-treating vital components required for Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter given their use by Israel in the genocide of Palestinians. Hume community members have committed to continued action outside HTA until it ends its contracts with weapons manufacturers profiteering off war and genocide.// Dr Sue Lewis, Acting President of the Victorian Forest Alliance, spoke with us about the recent announcement of the impending end of Vic Forests, which is set to wind up in mid-2024 after years of grassroots activism, official inquiries, legal battles and Parliamentary debate about the widespread harm that the entity has caused to Victoria's native forests. With the end of Vic Forests on the near horizon, we discussed the implications of its closure and what comes next for statewide native forest management. Respond to Kinglake Friends of the Forest's urgent call to action against Forest Fire Management Victoria's planned burns by sending an email (details below) or using the template here.// In the spirit of World Social Work Day, which falls on 20 March, we replayed an interview from June 2023 featuring Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis talking about the importance of investing in authentic youth voices, youth participation in mental health sectors, and advocacy. Angelica Ojinnaka- Psillakis is a youth development advocate, researcher, and speaker. She served as the 2022 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations, and is involved in a number of projects and organisations.// Member of Whittlesea for Palestine Logan Balavijendran chats with us about the snap action on Saturday 23 March outside the office of Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles. The action has been prompted by Australia's decision to cancel the visas of Palestinians escaping genocide,some of which have occurred mid air, leaving several Palestinians stranded with no where to go. Australian families have paid thousands of dollars to bring their loved ones to safety, only to be left scared and worried about where their loved ones will go now. Logan resides in Whittlesea with his Palestinian partner and sons. He has a career spanning education and IT, and is committed to community-building to hold leaders accountable.// Ashleigh Buckett, Principal Solicitor at the National Justice Project, spoke with us about the coronial inquest into the 2016 death of Faysal Ishak Ahmed, a young Sudanese refugee, while he was detained on Manus Island in Australian immigration detention. The inquest, which ran across Monday and Tuesday this week, examined Faysal's access to medical treatment over several months prior to his death, and assessed the circumstances of his delayed medical evacuation to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, where he passed away. With the United Nations Subcommittee on the prevention of torture making the significant decision to suspend its visit to Australia in late 2022, citing obstructions to its work and a lack of co-operation, the inquest into Mr Ishak Ahmed's death may provide a rare window into the draconian operations of Australia's immigration detention regime.// The image used for this episode was taken by photographer Matt Hrkac.

In one evening, 13 gliders were detected. Numerous habitat trees with good hollows suggest that many more live here, as well as providing crucial habitat for all sorts of hollow-dependent species. In addition, many habitat trees with fire scarring near their base from 2009 (Black Saturday) were recorded. These scarred trees become more liable to collapse with each subsequent fire. Forest Fire Management Vic has just announced they are going to burn this very patch of forest within the next few days.Here are just some of the reasons that burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008 is a bad idea.We are appalled to think of the impact that this unnecessary fire will have on the resident gliders, other wildlife and flora and on the older trees that survived the last fire because of:the immediate effects of the fire and smokeloss of food supply for gliders as a result of canopy scorchcollapse of den treesthe increase in fire risk in years to come because of the pulse of shrubs that will grow after the burnWe need to listen to the research that tells us that forests need to be protected from fire until they reach maturity when they are least flammable – estimated to be about 4 years from now in Kinglake.We can suppress fire using rapid detection technology available now. Thermal and heat sensing cameras can pick up fires kilometers away if installed in towers at optimum sight distance locations. We need to ensure we have trained remote area firefighters.What can you do?We (and the gliders) would love you to ring or write to any or all of the following, citing burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008.If you ring you'll want to keep it pretty short. You'll probably just speak to someone from admin so make sure you ask that they pass on your message.If you write, you could just copy and paste points 1-3, if you don't want to write your own.

Toen het plan werd ontwikkeld voor de bouw van de F35, als opvolger van de F15 en F16, konden geïnteresseerde landen inschrijven als productiepartner. Voordelen: meewerken aan het ontwerp, en korting in de vorm van orders voor de eigen industrie. Vandaar de bijnaam Joint Strike Fighter, of JSF. Nederland koos voor de optie van het partnerschap. Wij zijn dus een soort juniorpartner van het Amerikaanse Lockheed-Martin. Het is volkomen logisch dat Nederland prototypes testte, en dat Amerikaanse onderdelen van de F35 op een door de VS gebruikte Nederlandse basis liggen. Daar gaan regering en parlement over. Het Gerechtshof vonniste dat Nederland geen onderdelen mag doorsturen naar Israël, omdat de Israëliërs de F35 in Gaza mogelijkerwijs gebruiken bij schending van het oorlogsrecht. Wat voor rol de F35 in de oorlog met Gaza speelt wist het hof niet precies. Die rol is vermoedelijk gering, want het is een peperduur en voor deze missie erg overgekwalificeerd wapen. De belangrijkste strategische reden om het toestel in te zetten is dat het verborgen kan blijven voor vijandelijke radar, wat bij de bombardementen in Gaza totaal niet relevant is. De bulk van de Israëlische luchtmacht is de F15 en F16. Na 9/11 riep de NAVO voor de eerste, en tot dusver enige keer Artikel 5 in: een aanval op een is een aanval op allen. Amerika had er niet om gevraagd, het was een spontane reactie van de bondgenoten. De inval in Afghanistan draaide uit op een twintig jaar durende catastrofe, waaraan Nederland deelnam en waarbij tienduizenden onschuldige burgerslachtoffers vielen. Geen actiegroep die de krijgsmacht voor de rechter sleepte wegens schending van het oorlogsrecht. Na de pogrom van 7 oktober, kwam Joe Biden met een verstandige maar genegeerde waarschuwing aan Bibi Netanyahu: maak niet de fout die wij hebben gemaakt. Met andere woorden: stuur je leger niet als wraak een oorlog in waarvan je het eind niet kunt voorspellen en die je niet kunt winnen. Veel slachtoffers is gruwelijk, maar geen bewijs van schending van het oorlogsrecht. Daarvoor is een gedegen, zorgvuldig onderzoek nodig. Je zou je kunnen voorstellen dat rechters daarop aandringen. Maar bemoeienis met een beleid dat door de regering is vastgesteld en door het parlement goedgekeurd, over materiaal dat bovendien geen eigendom is van Nederland, is politiek, bedreven door wat de onafhankelijke rechtbank zou moeten zijn. Gelukkig heeft de regering onmiddellijk cassatie aangevraagd  bij de Hoge Raad, en die zal het vonnis wel vernietigen. Het kost wel eens wat moeite, maar gelukkig is Nederland nog altijd een democratie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our episode today is another first for us as this is the first time we are welcoming two guests in an episode, and I'm thrilled to share that both are senior leaders in their respective global defence organizations.Our chat centres around the critical aspect of supporting the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and we're specifically focusing on Canada's future fleet of F-35's, of which the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will acquire 88 of the highly advanced 5th Generation stealth aircraft.Buying aircraft is one thing, but supporting them is entirely different, so what you'll hear in our discussion is the importance of efficiently supporting the F-35, which requires sustainment in a whole new way, and you'll hear about it framed in the context of service to country, entrepreneurship, outright fortitude and lessons learned.Joining for this episode is Jacques Comtois, who started his career in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he served as a Commanding Officer, 3 Air Maintenance Squadron (3 AMS) in Bagotville, Québec.Jacques is now Vice President of Arcfield Canada, a company that has been a trusted partner to the Canadian Armed Forces for more than 35 years in supplying in-service and integrated logistics support to the CF-18 fleet through its expertise in supply chain management, maintenance and repair, and engineering solutions.Also joining is Rene de Koning, the CEO and owner of OneLogistics, a company that was specifically set up to support the European F-35 program to deal with European rules, regulations and complexities of the F-35 supply chain. OneLogistics is now Europe's leading supply chain partner for sustainment of the F-35 fighter.These gentlemen bring a wealth of experience from the military and from industry, and they are now combining Arcfield Canada's expertise in supporting Canada's fighter fleet with OneLogistics' unmatched experience as a Product Support Provider for the F-35.It's a really interesting discussion so I want to thank both of my guests for their time and insight on their solution to support Canada's future fleet of F-35s, and perhaps more!Go Bold!

Lt. Col. Christine Kelley, call sign “Grinder”, was the first woman to fly the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in 2015. Prior to the F-35, she flew the F-15E Strike Eagle in combat, accruing more than 2,800 flight hours and 500 combat hours during her 20 years of service in the United States Air Force. She also led the first combat mission planned, briefed, launched, and flown entirely by women in 2011.“SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.

This episode is focused on the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) modernization effort to enhance its fleet of CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft.The $1.3 billion (CAD) project to upgrade the CF-18 Hornet fleet is meant to ensure Canada's fighter fleet remains capable of responding to threats until new jets acquired under the Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) reaches Operational Capability. You'll hear my guest and I refer to FFCP in our discussion -- that platform will be the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.The upgrade effort is known as the Hornet Extension Project, or HEP for short. It is required to keep the CF-18 fleet interoperable and compliant with aviation regulations, and to maintain operational parity with current threats.The Hornet Extension Project will see upgrades to all CF-18's in the fleet, and that includes jets that were acquired from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) under the Interim Fighter Capability Project (IFCP).The Hornet Extension Project will have two Phases.HEP 1 focuses primarily on interoperability and regulatory upgrades for all CF-18's.HEP 2 is a further enhancement that will see 36 jets configured as the most capable fighters in the Royal Canadian Air Force.HEP 2 upgrades include a new radar, advanced weapons capability, enhanced survivability, and mission support and security requirements which are primarily required to support new weapons for the CF-18.This upgrade effort is being conducted in conjunction with the United States Marine Corps, who are also upgrading their legacy Hornet fleet.Joining me to talk about all of this is Royal Canadian Air Force Brigadier-General Todd Balfe, who manages the Hornet Extension Project. The General puts context into the modernization, so we thank him for his time, and for his kindness.Go Bold!

In this episode, we discuss all things F35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (Lockheed Martin).

Zondag overleed Mient Jan Faber en ik was het vergeten, maar mijn moeder vertelde me dat een van mijn eerste stukjes als journalist – ik was 21 – over hem ging. Zij wist het nog want we aten taart: ik kreeg er voor betaald en het stond in het legendarische Vrij Nederland! Ik was erachter gekomen dat Faber door zijn Interkerkelijk Vredesberaad op het matje was geroepen. De grote man achter de kernwapendemonstraties – 400.000 mensen in Amsterdam en later nog eens 500.000 in Den Haag – had geopperd dat het misschien toch niet zo'n slecht idee was om in ons land tijdelijk een klein aantal nieuwe kruisvluchtwapens te ‘parkeren' als dat het uiteindelijke doel – veel minder kernwapens in Europa – kon dienen. Faber moest voortaan eerst overleggen met zijn bestuur voordat hij een interview gaf over nieuwe ideeën. Hij vertelde me dat-ie ermee kon leven. Soms moet je tijdelijk iets accepteren waar je liefst vandaag nog vanaf wilt. Het was vloeken in de kerk natuurlijk. Hans van Mierlo vreesde dat we van die kernwapens nooit meer afkwamen: je kunt ze niet on-uitvinden. En Doe Maar scoorde in die dagen een nummer 1-hit met ‘Carrière maken, voordat de bom valt.' Het paradoxale van die bom is dat je redelijk safe bent als je ‘m bezit. Had Oekraïne hem nog gehad, dan was Poetin het land niet binnengevallen. Destijds demonstreerde ik mee in Amsterdam en Den Haag. ‘Help de kernwapens de wereld uit, om te beginnen met Nederland.' Dat laatste vond ik een beetje raar, maar ja – je moest toch ergens beginnen? Ook hier weer een paradox: misschien is het uiteindelijk wel Ronald Reagan die het meeste voor de wereldvrede gedaan heeft. Zijn wapenwedloop putte Moskou uit, Gorbatsjov zag dat het communisme niet langer levensvatbaar was, in 1989 viel de Muur en het aantal kernwapens in Europa werd fors verminderd. In Den Haag, dicht bij de Tweede Kamer, herinnert de Laan van Reagan en Gorbatsjov daar nog aan. Een dikke veertig jaar verder zijn we weer heel erg bang voor de bom. Prominente Duitsers waarschuwen tegen het leveren aan Oekraïne van zware wapens: het kan een kernoorlog veroorzaken! Twee jaar geleden nam de Tweede Kamer een motie aan van Sjoerd Sjoerdsma van D66. Om te voorkomen dat de nieuwe Joint Strike Fighter ook in Nederland kernwapens zou dragen, moest de regering het initiatief nemen voor een ‘strategische dialoog' tussen de Verenigde Staten en Rusland. Het was onbegonnen werk, de Russen hadden juist het zo cruciale INF-verdrag opgezegd en China moderniseerde zijn arsenaal in razend tempo. Nederland was als enige NAVO-land aanwezig bij onderhandelingen over het VN Verdrag inzake het Verbod op Kernwapens, maar stemde tegen omdat het gebruik en stationeren van kernwapens verbiedt. En de NAVO is nu eenmaal óók een kernwapenalliantie. Een motie voor een dialoog zou nu geen enkele zin hebben. It takes two to tango. En toch moet zo'n gesprek er uiteindelijk wel weer komen. Met alle paradoxen - die ook Mient Jan Faber heel goed begreep – erbij. Voordat de bom valt.

Is the F-35 Misunderstood?  The Joint Strike Fighter set out to become a platform which would fulfill many roles and replace several aircraft.  Over the course of its development, it has received its fair share of criticism. We will take a look at why the F-35 may have been unfairly compared to previous fighters, and what the Lightning brings to the table.If you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to many podcast streaming services here:PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com)You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here:https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotogAnd finally you can follow me on Twitter here:https://twitter.com/pilotphotogSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog)

Inside America's Dysfunctional Trillion-Dollar Fighter-Jet Program (NY Times). The U.S. Air Force Just Admitted the F-35 Stealth Fighter Has Failed (Forbes). The F-35 May Be Unsalvageable (The Hill).Are these headlines fair criticisms of the Joint Strike Fighter or simply yellow journalism? How are we supposed to know what, and who, to believe these days?On this episode, retired Royal Canadian Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and former test pilot Billie Flynn leverages his 5,000+ flight hours in the F-16 Viper, F/A-18 Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon, and every model of the F-35 Lightning II to offer a nuanced opinion of whether this controversial $1.6T weapon system is worth it, and how “bad” the development setbacks really are given this hyperconnected world in which we live.Bumper music by Jaime Lopez / announcements by Clint Bell.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Ed shows you how to discover a more profound relationship with God by unpacking his unique approach to Kingdom partnership in business. He's no normal Christian entrepreneur. Through combat-hardened discipline, he's learned to overcome obstacles and achieve his goals. His quick thinking—both in spiritual obedience and business acumen says it all: 950 miles an hour. Now that's fast. But it's not nearly as fast as Ed Rush flew in his combat career as a decorated F-18 pilot which included over 50 combat missions and 2 tours to Iraq. While in the Marines, Ed served as the one of the country's leading instructors on aerial dog fighting and recently worked as a key player in the development of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.  After 2 combat tours to Iraq, Ed left full-time active duty to speak, write, and share a message that will change the world. Ed's clients range from small startups to multi-million dollar – multi-national organizations and include CEOs, founders, political leaders, sports teams, national universities, Hollywood stars, and one of the contestants on Season #1 of Donald Trump's The Apprentice. He has achieved all of this despite possessing a below average intelligence (case in point: Ed failed Kindergarten).  Ed's books and expertise have been featured on CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC. This episode covers the topics of discipline, mindset, goal setting, freedom, partnership and your relationship with God.

On May 28, the White House will release its budget request for fiscal year 2022, including for the US military. This budget will provide early indicators of the new administration's strategic priorities and inform the defense and foreign policy debates of the 117th Congress as the National Defense Authorization Act is developed. The new team in the Pentagon must deliver a budget that is consistent with strategic challenges yet balanced with President Joe Biden's domestic policy agenda. Hot button issues include an overhaul of the Uniform Code of Military Justice regarding sexual assault, potential changes to the Joint Strike Fighter program, and what the new shipbuilding count and type mean for the near future.

Easily one of the most interesting looking X planes, the X-32 was a technology concept demonstrator built by Boeing  which competed for what was at the time called the largest military contract in history, the Joint Strike Fighter or JSF.  The X-32 was a single engine delta wing stealth multirole fighter that would have been produced in three variants: an Air Force version, a carrier based Naval version, and a Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing or STOVL version.    This episode takes a look at how the X-32 was developed, the design decisions that were made along the way, and its competition against the X-35.If you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to many podcast streaming services including Spotify here:PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com)You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here:https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotogIf you'd like to support this podcast:https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotogAnd finally you can follow me on Twitter here:https://twitter.com/pilotphotog#X32 #JSF #Boeing #competition Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog)

What You Will Learn: Ed discusses being a cocky F-18 pilot in the Marine Corps who learned he wasn't as good as he thought, and the key self-improvement lesson the experience taught him Why business comes down to a few fundamental concepts, and why Ed feels most business owners have a disconnect between “being busy” and “productivity” Why growth, whether in nature or in business, relies on a “sprint and rest” cycle and requires both to be most effective How Ed structures his week, and why he sets Fridays aside as time away from work for “incubative days” to come up with new ideas Why the discipline Ed learned during his time in the Marines has been vital for his career success outside of military service Why too much freedom and too little discipline can be detrimental for your team, and why discipline creates freedom to innovate and create Why the way you communicate makes a huge difference in how the people around you take action and how successful they are in their outcome Why telling yourself “I'm such a failure” actually rewires your brain and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy Ed shares his three-question technique he teaches people from all spiritual walks of life about asking God for business answers Why forgiveness for others and forgiveness for yourself can be a powerful resource to help you improve your mindset and grow your business About Ed Rush 950 miles an hour.

On today's Front Page: Debt relief advocates are pressing the Biden administration to cancel $1 trillion of student loan debt, the Pentagon's vaunted F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is facing blowback for production delays and cost overruns, and more.

While the U.S. military's fifth-generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets are still rolling off the production line and deploying across the globe, work has already begun on a futuristic 6th-generation fighter -- an aircraft that may have increased stealth, drone companions, boosted artificial intelligence and even the ability to heal itself when damaged. Richard Aboulafia from the Teal Group breaks down what we can expect from a 6th-gen fighter jet.

The then Chief of Staff (Aviation and Carriers) gives his audience a masterful guide to the past, present and future of air power at sea, starting from when the aircraft carrier displaced the battleship as the Royal Navy's capital ship to looking forward to the commissioning of the Queen Elizabeth Class of carrier. Admiral Cunningham begins by listing the firsts achieved by the Royal Naval Air Service and how it evolved from the launch of the Mayfly in 1909, through into World War I and into the "fallow" inter-war years when the United States and Japan took the lead. He then outlines the resurgence of British Maritime Air Power during World War II and its importance in both the Mediterranean and Pacific theatres and subsequent conflicts, including the Korean War and the Falklands Conflict. Turning to the contemporary world, Cunningham notes how many developing nations recognise the importance of Maritime Air Power and have a Carrier Programme. He comments on the demise of HMS Ark Royal and the Harrier and looks ahead to the technical challenges of operating the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers, which were then due to be in service in 2019. He highlights the need to integrate the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft with the various radars on the ship, the key role of officers in the control room and the need to gain experience with the US Navy during the intervening years. He concludes by stressing the need for Maritime Air Power as an offensive and defensive element of a persistent and self-sufficient fleet at sea, which can respond to uncertain and changing threats. Rear Admiral Cunningham took 20 minutes of questions which covered: the future role of UAVs; the integration of a helicopter on a destroyer; escort protection by an Air Defence destroyer; the importance of rehearsing as a Task Group; the role of joint RN/RAF operations; the reliance of the RN on the US for training and the decision to scrap HMS Ark Royal rather than HMS Ocean. Rear Admiral Tom Cunningham addressed a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Air Power Group on 8 November 2011. The lecture was introduced by Rear Admiral Simon Henley CEng FRAeS and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

In this bonus follow-up interview, Gene Kim and Dr. Steve Spear dig into what makes for great leadership today, including the importance of distributed decision-making and problem-solving. They showcase the real advantages of allowing more decisions to be made by the people closest to the work, who are the most suited to solve them.   Dr. Spear also shares his personal accounts of the honorable Paul O’Neill, the late CEO of Alcoa who built an incredible culture of safety and performance during his tenure. And Kim and Spear dive deeper into the structure and dynamics of the famous MIT beer game.   ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Steve Spear (DBA MS MS) is principal for HVE LLC, the award-winning author of The High Velocity Edge, and patent holder for the See to Solve Real Time Alert System.  A Senior Lecturer at MIT’s Sloan School and a Senior Fellow at the Institute, Spear’s work focuses on accelerating learning dynamics within organizations so they know better faster what to do and how to do it. This has been informed and tested in practice in multiple “verticals” including heavy industry, high tech design, biopharm R&D, healthcare delivery and other social services, Army rapid equipping, and Navy readiness.   High velocity learning concepts became the basis of the Alcoa Business System—which led to 100s of millions in recurring savings, the Pittsburgh Regional Healthcare Initiatives “Perfecting Patient Care System”—credited with sharp reductions in complications like MRSA and CLABs, Pratt & Whitney’s “Engineering Standard Work”—which when piloted led to winning the engine contract for the Joint Strike Fighter, the operating system for Detroit Edison, and the Navy’s high velocity learning line of effort—an initiative led by the Chief of Naval Operations. A pilot with a pharma company cut the time for the ‘hit to lead’ phase in early stage drug discovery from twelve months to six. Spear has published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Academic Medicine, Health Services Research, Harvard Business Review, Academic Administrator, and the US Naval Institute’s Proceedings He invented the patented See to Solve Real Time Alert System and is principal investigator for new research on making critical decisions when faced with hostile data.  He’s supervised more than 40 theses and dissertations. He holds degrees from Harvard, MIT, and Princeton and worked at the University of Tokyo, the US Congress Office of Technology Assessment and Prudential Bache.

In the latest Dispatch from the Scenius, Gene Kim brings you two of Dr. Steve Spear’s DevOps Enterprise Summit presentations in their entirety.   In Spear’s 2019 presentation, “Discovering Your Way to Greatness: How Finding and Fixing Faults is the Path to Perfection,” he talks about the need and the value of finding faults in our thinking that result in faults in our doing.    Spear continues to explore this lesson in his 2020 presentation about the US Navy 100 years ago, when they were at a crucial inflection point in both technology and strategic mission. It is one of the most remarkable examples of creating distributed learning in a vast enterprise.    As always, Gene provides exclusive commentary to the presentations.

The National Defense Authorization Act and the CMO job MG Arnold Punaro (USMC-ret.), CEO of The Punaro Group, discusses why the Chief Management Officer position should be reformed and what changes should be made Updates on the Force Structure Assessment and shipbuilding plan Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, provides updates on the Navy’s Force Structure Assessment, 30-year shipbuilding plan, and operations and maintenance funding Getting spare parts to F-35’s Theresa Hull, Assistant Inspector General for Audit, Acquisition, Contracting and Sustainment at the DoD OIG, details what the DoD OIG found when tracking problems Lockheed Martin has had with providing parts for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

On this episode of The Idealcast with Gene Kim, Dr. Steve Spear talks about the primary characteristics of dynamic learning organizations, through the lens of its structure and the resulting dynamics, and how it enables those organizations to win and dominate in the marketplace.  From his 1999 Harvard Business Review article “Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System” to his bestselling book The High-Velocity Edge to his monomaniacal advocate for the scientific method employed by everybody about everything all the time, Spear’s influence on the successful pursuit of excellence and perfection is undeniable.  Discussing everything from the importance of curiosity and experimentation, fast feedback, mission orientation, leadership, healthcare organizations, military strategy and organization, and of course Toyota, Spear and Kim explain why organizations behave the way they do and demonstrate why dynamic learning organizations are so successful. ABOUT THE GUESTS Dr. Steve Spear (DBA MS MS) is principal for HVE LLC, the award-winning author of The High Velocity Edge, and patent holder for the See to Solve Real Time Alert System.  A Senior Lecturer at MIT’s Sloan School and a Senior Fellow at the Institute, Spear’s work focuses on accelerating learning dynamics within organizations so they know better faster what to do and how to do it. This has been informed and tested in practice in multiple “verticals” including heavy industry, high tech design, biopharm R&D, healthcare delivery and other social services, Army rapid equipping, and Navy readiness.   High velocity learning concepts became the basis of the Alcoa Business System—which led to 100s of millions in recurring savings, the Pittsburgh Regional Healthcare Initiatives “Perfecting Patient Care System”—credited with sharp reductions in complications like MRSA and CLABs, Pratt & Whitney’s “Engineering Standard Work”—which when piloted led to winning the engine contract for the Joint Strike Fighter, the operating system for Detroit Edison, and the Navy’s high velocity learning line of effort—an initiative led by the Chief of Naval Operations. A pilot with a pharma company cut the time for the ‘hit to lead’ phase in early stage drug discovery from twelve months to six. Spear has published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Academic Medicine, Health Services Research, Harvard Business Review, Academic Administrator, and the US Naval Institute’s Proceedings He invented the patented See to Solve Real Time Alert System and is principal investigator for new research on making critical decisions when faced with hostile data.  He’s supervised more than 40 theses and dissertations. He holds degrees from Harvard, MIT, and Princeton and worked at the University of Tokyo, the US Congress Office of Technology Assessment and Prudential Bache.

Jon Ludwigson joins the Watchdog Report to discuss issues with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.

Hard to believe as it might be, a central and critical software system of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter simply doesn't work. And that's making people who maintain and certify the readiness of the expensive jet a little crazy. Federal Drive with Tom Temin got the latest from Diana Maurer, the director of Defense Capabilities and Management issues at the Government Accountability Office.

Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton is an Experimental Fighter Test Pilot for the United States Air Force and is the previous Commander of the U.S. Air Force F-35 Integrated Test Force. Tucker Hamilton started his Air Force career as an operational F-15C pilot where he supported multiple Red Flag Exercises and real-world Operation Noble Eagle missions where he protected the President of the United States, at times escorting Air Force One. He served as an Air Liaison Officer in Germany where he was the director of operations for a key command and control squadron. While serving in Germany, he was hand-selected to be the initial cadre for the first MC-12 squadron in Afghanistan as a part of the Air Force's first tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft. After Afghanistan, he attended Test Pilot School where he flew over 30 different aircraft. After Test Pilot School graduation, he became an F-15C and F-15E Instructor Experimental Test Pilot, leading 11 test programs, supporting the newest software and weapons for the 450-plus F-15 fleet. He then served as the Developmental Test & Evaluation Lead for the Joint Strike Fighter, F-35, overseeing the entire Developmental Test & Evaluation effort for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines. He then transitioned to Edwards Air Force Base, California, where he began to fly all three variants of the F-35 as the Developmental Test Director of Operations. I’ve personally had the pleasure of knowing Cinco in our work together with the US team at Gravity Industries, and while it’s no secret how incredible Tucker’s career has been, I actually didn’t know most of that until putting together this podcast! The most inspiring thing about Cinco is his incredible humility and servant leadership mindset, always putting the needs of others before himself. While I’m biased from knowing Cinco well, I can easily say this is one of our best stories yet.        

Boeing’s then President of Space & Defense Systems, Alan Mulally, explores the force of change that faced the aerospace industry at the dawn of the information age. Mulally starts his lecture by outlining the projects that dominated the company’s work in 1997, from civil projects such as the 737, 757 and 777, military projects such as the Joint Strike Fighter and space and defence projects including missiles and the International Space Station. Turning to the predictions of the futurists, he highlights the importance of broad changes in society, such as the power of computing and the amount of GPS and other information gathered, the shift of power to East, the increased marketisation of government, an increased concern for the environment and the potential consequence for the booming civil and space industry, and the prospect of remotely piloted aircraft. The 1997 Royal Aeronautical Society Sopwith Lecture took place on 3 June 1997, the podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.

Open architectures will make tech refreshes such as the latest avionics modernization (Technology Refresh 3 (TR3)) on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and other platforms much more efficient and cost effective in the long run. In the latest McHale Report Podcast, Bryant Henson, vice president and general manager for Harris Corporation's Electronic Systems Avionics Business Unit details how through the open architecture approach, the F-35's next-gen Integrated Core Processor (ICP) is targeted to generate a 75 percent reduction in unit cost compared to the current system, as well as a 25-time increase in computing power to support planned capability enhancements, greater software stability, higher reliability, and increased diagnostics that result in lower sustainment costs. During the podcast he also covers the Department of Defense's (DoD's) open architecture initiatives such as the Hardware Open Systems Technologies) effort and the advantages they bring.  This podcast is sponsored by Aerospace Tech Week, which will take place on 18/19th March 2020 in Toulouse, FRANCE. The show, is held in Munich, Germany every other year. This year it encompassed three different events -- Avionics Expo, Connected Aircraft Europe, and Aerospace Testing Europe.
