Un ancien pilote d’essai de F-35 croit que le Canada aura probablement bénéficié de sa décision de ne pas acheter ce nouveau chasseur furtif il y a plus de dix ans. Mais il estime maintenant qu’Ottawa devait mettre fin à ses tergiversations et opter rapidement pour cet avion de chasse américain.

Announcement: Forthcoming Industry Sustainment Business Case Analysis (SBCA) Workshops: Purpose: The purpose of this email is to invite key industry representatives working in defence sustainment to participate in one of the following on-line, Industry Sustainment Business Case Analysis (SBCA) Workshops, scheduled on 19 October 2020 or 18 January 2021, from 8:00 – 12:00 noon. These workshops will provide an overview of the SBCA process, will underscore the important role that industry plays in the development of optimized sustainment solutions for military equipment, and will further explain when industry can expect to be engaged, what will be expected, and how industry can influence the process to capitalize on its strengths. Background: The SBCA provides a logical, defensible, and documented, analysis and decision making process that aids in the development of tailored sustainment solutions, optimized under the four sustainment principles: equipment performance, value for money, flexibility, and economic benefits for Canadians. Why This Workshop Matters: Some essential elements of the SBCA are: a well-defined scope of analysis, precise requirements, early and meaningful industry engagement, a rigorous analytical process, and informed decision making. To maximize advantage, defence sustainment industry stakeholders will wish to understand how the SBCA process responds to these needs. About the Workshop: These workshops will be delivered in English, and are conducted in an informal atmosphere that provides for questions and discussion. Please Note: While every effort is made to address participant concerns and discuss issues of mutual interest, SBCA workshops do not delve into specific SBCAs or procurements. Registration: To register, please send an email to the undersigned, providing your name, email address (for confirmation of registration and distribution of the workshop materials), your company name and your position. Please register no later than 10 working days prior to the scheduled workshop. These workshops will be delivered on-line via Microsoft Teams, for which applicable details will be provided. A copy of the workshop presentation slides will also be provided. Question or concerns may be directed to Bill.Troupe@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca
