之前美國防衛新聞 就說的很清楚就算選擇 AT5藍鵲還是要靠美商支援

TAIPEI - Taiwan’s defense minister intends to continue newly elected President Tsai Ing-wen’s pledge to develop indigenous weapon systems and wean Taiwan off its dependency on US-made arms.
Newly appointed minister Feng Shih-kuan and other ministry officials emphasized that policy once again during the minister's Dragon Boat Festival banquet on June 13.
Of particular interest to Feng is the local production of a new fighter-trainer to replace the aging AT-3 Tzu Chung attack/trainer, produced by the state-owned Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) in the 1980s. Feng served as AIDC chairman from 2006-2008, and his expertise in industrial defense manufacturing was a key factor in his appointment as the new defense minister.
The replacement for the AT-3 has been dubbed the XAT-5 advanced jet trainer, nicknamed the "Blue Magpie." The air force has a requirement for 66 aircraft for two training bases: one in Taitung to replace the aging F-5E/F Tigers and the other in Kangshan to replace the AT-3s. The XAT-5 is a derivative of the AIDC-produced Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) built during the 1990s.
According to an internal defense industry briefing, produced by AIDC consultants and obtained by Defense News, the budget for the XAT-5 is $2.3 billion, minus research and development roughly estimated at $300 million. The first prototype is scheduled for 2019 with a final operational clearance (FOC) in 2024. “That is earlier than the US Air Force’s TX program, which has an IOC [Initial Operation Clearance] of 2024 and an FOC of 2034,” the briefing states.
US defense-industry teams, including Boeing/Saab and Raytheon/Alenia, still have an opportunity to participate in the bidding for the XAT-5 program if they can meet the requirements. The Raytheon/Alenia T-100/M-346 attack trainer program’s performance and schedule does meet Taiwan’s requirements, but “costs are an uncertainty,” the briefing states. The Boeing/Saab design is still classified, but if the vendors can “finish all document preparation by the end of 2016,” then they should send a team to Taipei no later than August to meet with air force officials, legislators and AIDC officials, the document adds.
At present, the XAT-5 program is broken down into indigenous and external participation. The goal is to have the entire airframe made domestically, 50/50 percent foreign and indigenous participation on the engine, and 20-30 percent domestically sourced work on equipment such as avionics and radars, according to the briefing. That means that US companies have a “great opportunity” to participate in the program.
There are some critics of the government's approach. A former Taiwan Air Force flag officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, contended the XAT-5 program has flaws because it is based on the Indigenous Defense Fighter's 1990s technology, it lacks a radar or afterburner, and AIDC's engine-production capability is not entirely assured.
文章最後提到,由於台灣自製教練機需要航電設備與雷達、發動機的支援,因此即使台灣選擇自製教練機AT-5的方案,美國軍事公司仍絕對有很大的機會參與或是協力這項計畫。 也就是 漢翔藍鵲 重要技術還是離不開美商,軟體後續升級武器整合不是台灣一家漢翔或中科院說的算要付顧問費的 |
