Good morning. It's day four at Lima 2017. And today we will focus on the program
We had the chance to get some fresh news from the three contenders which are the aviation with the raffle ba a system with the
typhoon and s with the gripping aircraft. As
soon as you can see, uh behind me is uh the world's best multi role aircraft
It's got a number of key features that I would say are world class
If you look at the rear of the aircraft to start with the engines
you've got 2 £20,000 thrust engines wet, that is in terms of reheat
Um And one of the key features of a combat aircraft is to get into the sky first
you know, get to altitude, get the energy and then you carry out and conduct your mission
A good example when we conducted mission in Alami uh in Egypt
we had 3000 hours with the Royal Air Force and there wasn't one engine removed
If you go to the front of the aircraft, we've got a radar called ECA. This is a new generation radar
This radar has a plus and minus 110 degree field of view
So one of the other key features of a combat aircraft is to see the target first get the first shot off
Another feature of the aircraft, which I would say is unique. It's got the helm mounted side which allows the pilot day and night to
track and slay the targets in real time. It doesn't need to be looking at the head up display and the symbology to to carry
out the mission. Now what this aircraft does, it has sensor fusion
it uses all that information in and fuse it together to make a real picture
a real picture for the the pilot. This aircraft, it can carry both us and European weapons
which is uh again, pretty unique feature to have clearances of both weapons suites
So you can select weapons which can be optimized for that mission effect
This aircraft was designed with reliability, maintainability and test in terms of mission effect
We know in theaters in operations, we've had 97% mission availability. And then if you look at the offer for Malaysia
want your question, why not only around the aircraft and the support but why is it good for Malaysia
If you look at the offset and industrialization aspect to the aircraft
one thing that a lot of customers look for is when they're purchasing offshore
they want the off onshore technology transfer transfer and the industrialization to bring
you know, to develop their industries and, and businesses. Well, we've got a track record in Malaysia
We've got a track record on hawk more recent aircraft we've sold and this track record has led to 7000 jobs in industry
So when we talk about offset and industrialization for typhoon as part of the offer
we've got a track record that the government of Malaysia recognize and we will deliver for typhoon
If we bring this into country, we know there's more than 20,000 jobs will be created through typhoon
That's got to be a compelling position. The UK government backing for typhoon is essential
And if you look at the backing for typhoon, we've had the UK uh minister here this week
the only Western nation minister to be visiting the Ayrshire. We were here for four weeks in October undertaking joint exercises with the Royal Malaysian
Air Force, the Royal Saudi Air, sorry, the uh the Australian Air Force in New Zealand and Singapore
the Five Powers Defense Agreement, the UK are prepared. You know, they recognize that the financial situations of governments they are prepared to offer UK
export finance, which is again incredibly attractive rate and it just shows the support that the UK government is prepared to offer into Malaysia
This aircraft, it is probably I think my favorite one I fly on it and I like this performance and this weapon system
It's a multi aircraft. You can do multiple missions at the same time like air mission and air to ground mission and also air
mission and a ri mission and deterrent or air surface mission. We have a good system with touch screen
We have a lot of power, we can carry a lot of ammunitions and missile
This performance are really good. We can fly at lower speed at 100 knots and we can increase to 750 knots in clear
airspace. We use it in different countries as combat proven aircraft in Iraq
Syria and in Africa in close to the Mali and Chad, we use it in different missions like air to ground
using a laser guided bomb or GPS guided bomb and also a cruise missile like scalp
I performed some of missions two years ago in Africa only not in Iraq but I used the Riki mission and the Riki pod and
also the laser guided bomb. And also the gun is
a success story right now. We have had a great success in Brazil
We are marketing the GRI in many countries in Europe, in Africa
Latin America. And of course, also here in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is one of the most important markets for us going forward
And we believe that the grip is absolutely the best place for make 29
And how is that? Well, it comes in a great package. It comes with the latest technology
it comes with a combat effectiveness and unaffordable that no other fighter can even hope to match
And on top of that, we have a joint collaboration program with Malaysian industry that will bring high tech jobs and value added activities here in Malaysia
