[据美国《航宇周刊》2013年3月12日报道]F-35项目执行官、美国空军中将Christopher Bogdan称，为达成F-35向美国三军和国际市场销售3000架的预期目标，洛•马和普惠公司正在努力改进生产过程。

这一数字开始重新成为合同商成本曲线上的一个最佳平衡点，单机价格正在逐渐向“合作伙伴期望的”8000~9000万美元靠拢。过去，生产线一直受到部件或供应问题的困扰，导致工人的组装程序被迫滞后。但是现在，“两家公司在消除生产线的问题上做了很好的工作，生产过程运行的更加顺畅”。

成本与生产规模高度相关，当前点上的生产数量还较少。Bogdan称项目伙伴之一的土耳其在将采购计划推迟两年后，该批次余下的飞机单价可能升至1亿美元。

同时，Bogdan计划在明年发布关于F-35训练中心管理的建议征询书。他认为，通过引入竞争，有望降低这些中心近三分之一的管理成本。洛•马及其主要的子合同商也被邀请参与竞标。在此之前，联合项目办公室正开展工作，确保所需数据的准确性。

同样，Bogdan也希望在后续的保障设备和全球供应链的管理上有所竞争。（中国航空工业发展研究中心   尹常琦）

Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney are improving production processes for the F-35 to the extent that they could manage to sell the anticipated 3,000 of the tri-service, multinational fighters, says Program Executive Officer U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan.

“That number is starting to get back into the sweet spot on the curve,” he says of the contractors’ costs, adding that the per-unit price is heading to where the “partners want it to be,” in the range of $80 million to $90 million.

The production lines had been riddled with what officials call “traveling work,” meaning tasks that cannot be done in their designated work stations owing to parts or supply issues, forcing workers to delay them until later in the assembly process.

Now, however, the companies are “doing a very good job recently of taking problems and quirks out of the production line such that it is running smoother.”

However, cost is highly dependent on production numbers, which are soft at this point. Bogdan notes that when Turkey, a production partner, deferred its aircraft two years from low-rate-initial-production (LRIP) lot 7, the remaining aircraft grew in price by $1 million apiece.

“We are all going to hang together or we are all going to hang separately,” Bogdan told an audience at the Credit Suisse/McAleese Defense Programs Conference in Washington March 12.

Meanwhile, Bogdan plans in the “next year or so” to release a request for proposals for management of F-35 training centers. He says he thinks he can save up to one-third of the cost of managing these centers by introducing competition into the process. Lockheed Martin and its primary subcontractors are invited to compete. “I have their attention,” Bogdan says, in terms of the price and deal they are currently discussing with the government.

Prior to releasing the request for proposals, Bogdan says the Joint Program Office is working to ensure it has proper data rights to allow for a competition. The way forward will depend partly on how cooperative Lockheed and Pratt are, he says, adding that they “have lawyers” detailed to protect their businesses.

Likewise, Bogdan sees competition farther down the road for managing support equipment and the fighter’s global supply chain.
