    U.S. Navy pays contractors $600 million held back to ensure performance

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has paid defense contractors $600 million it had withheld to ensure contract performance, hoping the funds would shore up finances for suppliers ravaged by the coronavirus-driven economic downturn, a Navy official said on Tuesday. The move, which follows a similar action taken by the Air Force that released billions of dollars in payments, is aimed at replacing revenue vital Pentagon suppliers have lost in their non-military businesses as the spreading coronavirus has halted business activity nationwide. “We were immediately able to infuse about $600 million of funds that we had on withholds,” James Geurts, the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told reporters on a conference call. A Navy spokesperson said “for example, with the ship repair industry, withholds were reduced to one percent.” The Navy was unable to say whether a portion of the $600 million was withheld due to poor contractor performance. The Department of Defense has also accelerated contract awards as it leverages its portion of the more than $700 billion annual defense budget to help keep suppliers afloat. Geurts wrote a memo on March 24 to his staff directing them to release or reduce the withholds. It did not discuss rectifying the root causes. Government waste watch-dogs criticized the move. “This current emergency shouldn't be an excuse to avoid accountability for poor performance that predated this outbreak,” said Mandy Smithberger, of the Project On Government Oversight in Washington. Earlier this month, Geurts said he had authorized “hundreds of millions” of dollars to be paid out to top suppliers like General Dynamics (GD.N) and Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII.N) which could flow to the supply chain. Representatives from Huntington Ingalls and General Dynamics said the Navy was not withholding money from them for poor performance. While the Navy did not name any companies that received payments, industry sources have said the biggest contractors have been filtering coronavirus-related funds to their suppliers and subcontractors who, because of their smaller size, are on much shakier financial footing. The Navy's multi-layered supply chain is comprised of companies building out President Donald Trump's vision for a 350 ship here Navy. The funding will help pay salaries and ensure hard-to-replace workers are not lost to other industries or early retirement. Geurts has said the Navy is pushing money into the defense industrial base by speeding up contract payments, hastening contract awards and releasing funds withheld for poor past performance. The U.S. Air Force said it would release $882 million in payments to Boeing (BA.N) that were held back due to flaws in the KC-46 air refueling tanker. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-navy-procurement/u-s-navy-pays-contractors-600-million-held-back-to-ensure-performance-idUSKCN22A33L

    Top Aces acquires 25 Belgian Air Force Alpha Jets

    Posted on July 9, 2020 by Laurent Heyligen Top Aces has acquired 25 former Belgian Air Force Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jets, according to information from Belgian Press Agency Belga on July 8. The Montreal-based adversary air provider delivers combat training services to Canadian, American, German and Australian forces, among others, with a mixed fleet of Alpha Jet, Douglas A4 Skyhawk and Learjet 35A aircraft. The company also intends to add the Lockheed Martin F-16A fighter jet to its fleet, which offers superior speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability, all of which will benefit its aggressor air program. If finalized, the Belgian aircraft acquisition would more than double the size of Top Aces' current Alpha Jet fleet. The company operates about 20 of the Dornier jets, which were formerly owned by the German Air Force. The sale was led by the Belgian Directorate General of Material Resources (DG-MR) of the Defense Staff. No further information was provided on the contract award or cost. The Belgian Ministry of Defence announced the potential sale of 25 Alpha Jets in December 2018. The package included spares, ground equipment, additional engines and a simulator. The simulator was reportedly sold to an Austrian aerospace company, AMST, which specializes in training fighter pilots. The Alpha Jets were officially withdrawn from Belgian service during a small ceremony at Cazaux in France on Oct. 11, 2018, though they remained in service with the French Armée de l'Air until the end of 2019. The aircraft were operated by the joint Belgo-French AJeTS (Advanced Jet Training School) at Cazaux and had been gradually removed from service and stored over the past several years. One of the pioneers of what is often called aggressor or “red” air training, Top Aces in October 2019 was awarded part of US$6.4 billion contract for adversary air services to the United States Air Force (USAF). It was one of seven firms selected to participate in the Combat Air Force Contracted Air Support contract, a collective, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract that will solicit individual tenders for advanced adversary air capabilities at 12 USAF bases. Top Aces has been simulating hostile threats for fighter pilots, naval crews and land forces for the Canadian Armed Forces since the mid-2000s. In October 2017, it was awarded the permanent domestic Contracted Airborne Training Services (CATS) program under a 10-year deal worth about $480 million, including options to extend the service to 2031 and the value to as much as $1.4 billion. The company has secured a similar training support contract with the German Armed Forces in 2014 and, more recently, a two-year trial with the Australian Defence Force. It is also bidding on U.S. Navy aggressor air programs and partnering with Leonardo and Inzpire on the U.K.'s Air Support to Defence Operational Training (ASDOT) program. To date, the company has accumulated over 81,000 accident-free flight hours. https://www.skiesmag.com/news/top-aces-acquires-belgian-alpha-jets
