The US Long Range Strike Bomber: Future Roles, Capabilities and Challenges
RUSI Defence Systems, 11 December 2015Justin Bronk and Timothy Stafford
The US Air Force (USAF) strategic bomber force – comprised of B-2, B-1B and B-52 heavy bombers – serves two purposes. The first is to project conventional striking power and extend deterrence over intercontinental distances. The round-trip of over 11,000 miles made by B-2s operating out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to hit targets in Libya in 2011 is just one example of this unique...

RUSI Defence Systems, 27 November 2015Justin Bronk
Given the prior expectations, the 2015 SDSR has been a good one for the armed services. However, most would agree that the RAF in particular has done particularly well with the announcement of two more Typhoon squadrons (although without any extra aircraft), nine P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine warfare and maritime surveillance aircraft, an extension of the Sentinel force, and a commitment to all 138...

The P-8 Decision: Why No Competition, Why No Dates, Why No Costs?
RUSI Defence Systems, 27 November 2015Trevor Taylor
One of the more eye-catching commitments in the 2015 SDSR was the decision to buy nine Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft from the US without a formal competition, even though there were a significant number of potential bidders ready to offer innovative solutions to the maritime patrol capability gap. The (implicit) justification for the government’s decision was probably that the inclusion of a...

Maritime Patrol Capability: The SDSR’s Wolf Whistle

The Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) 2010 was the moment when the UK government decided that a full-spectrum defence capability was no longer to be maintained: the moment when battling the budget deficit became the strategic imperative of the time. Arguably, the most visible symbol of that profound shift in posture was the cancelling of the Maritime Patrol Aircraft project – the...
