EADS reveals details of Eurofighter Typhoon offer to Norway to replace JSF order
Published: Thu Apr 6th, 2006Source: www.flightglobal.com
EADS Military Air Systems has confirmed that last last month in Oslo it presented a "tailored offer" for increased Norwegian industrial participation in the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft programme tied to the Nordic nation's potential purchase of the type. EADS says its offer is the reply to a request for information from the Norwegian government and comes as Oslo is expressing serious reservations over its lack of industrial participation in the Lockheed martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) programme.
EADS says the offer "includes numerous opportunities for participation" tied to possible purchase the aircraft, including "tailored delivery and payment terms as well as a variety of options for active involvement of Norwegian industry in Eurofighter technologies and offset offers".
Norway, along with Denmark, is conducting a formal fighter competition in the lead-up to a decision later this year on whether to commit to procurement of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter or acquire alternative aircraft to replace its F-16s. Gripen International has proposed a Nordic version of the JAS39 Gripen fighter, competitively priced (Flight International, 4-10 April).
