  • Germany's HERON UAV emerges.  The leased ISR platforms, built by Israel Aerospace Industries and provided to the German MoD/BWB under a service lease from German prime contractor Rheinmettal Defence, are poised for deployment to Afghanistan in the coming weeks.

  • EADS says it will take some time to develop a cogent response to the offer of support from the seven A400M nations.  Speculation suggests that EADS may offer to provide a simpler version of the airlifter to speed its introduction.

  • DepSecDef Bill Lynn confirms what everyone knows... that the F-35 program has slipped to the right by 12 to 13 months.  Unclear is whether the Marines will get their first jump jets in 2012 as planned.

  • Officials: India's emerging defense procurement policy will focus on enhancing indigenous industrial capability via a move from offsets to a "buy and make Indian" approach.

  • FlightGlobal's Craig Hoyle wonders whether, after BAE Systems' admission of guilt and agreement to pay nearly a half a billion dollars in fines, everyone is ready to move on.
