Canada's CF-18 Replacement Competition Structure Seems To Have Already Disqualified The F-35
The country's requirements for its new fighter jet competition are at odds with its existing obligations to the Joint Strike Fighter program.
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK MAY 8, 2019
“Fundamentally, the F-35 program is different from Foreign Military Sales or Direct Commercial Sales procurements,” U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Mathias Winter, the head of the F-35 JPO, wrote to the head of Canada’s Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) in December 2018. “The F-35 Partnership includes Canada as an integral member of a global enterprise containing multiple Partners, with both shared and unique strategic, operational, and tactical requirements and investment opportunities.”
“This [partnership agreement] includes that Partners are prohibited from imposing requirements for work share or other industrial or commercial compensation,” Winter continued. “Instead, IP [industrial participation] is determined on a competitive, best value basis to maximize affordability across the F-35 enterprise.”

캐나다 전투기 도입사업 입찰제안서류 분석결과 F-35는 절충교역조항 때문에 입찰자격이 없는 것으로 분석. 이미 F-35 JPO 총책임자인 윈터 제독이 캐나다에 캐나다 입찰에 맞춰 F-35 판매조건을 못바꾼다고 작년 12월에 통보.
미 국방부쪽에서도 이런 사태를 바꾸려는 의욕이 없어보임. 뭐 슈퍼호넷이 미국대표 전투기이고, 캐나다와 보잉간의 봄바디어 여객기 무역마찰도 적당히 마무리 되었으니 이제는 캐나다 정부도 슈퍼호넷 거부할 명분도 사라짐.
