I, for one, am not persuaded that the co-cured composite wings and phasedarrayradar technologies identified for "flow-back" to the United States under the FS-X deal meet that test.
The agreement contains FS-X technology flow-back guarantees, including U.S. participation in the manufacture and testing of new technology components such as advanced co-cured composite wings, new avionics, and phased-array radar.
This includes cancelled deployment of two destroyers equipped with Aegis missile defense systems, along with terminating delivery of a second TPY-2 phased-array X-band long-range missile defense radar system for Japan.
