"We Accelerate Growth"
On March 2, 2010 Briefing Given by: Wayne Plucker
Industry Manager-Aerospace & Defense for Frost & Sullivan.
Is the U.S. Military in the Twilight Years of Manned, Fixed-Wing Procurement?
The Defense Department plans to release the Quadrennial Defense Review in the next
few weeks. It could have very significant effects on the manned, fixed-wing market. This
briefing addresses the trends and pitfalls of the military fixed-wing market and the
changes that the new administration is bringing to procurement of these aircraft. It
examines the trends and the market dynamics as well as the key players.
Industry Manager, Wayne Plucker, has completed extensive analysis on the U.S. Military
Manned, Fixed-Wing market. The research expert will lead a short teleconference about
new findings that affect the market, followed by a live question and answer session.
Mr. Plucker is quoted:
"The US military has undergone a very significant change of direction on manned aircraft.
The current administration has cut several key programs in favor of improved funding for
ground forces and specialty systems. These changes will have significant long-term
effects on the manned fixed-wing market. Last year, the US Air Force trained more UAV
pilots than manned aircraft pilots. Is this a sign of things to come?"
