AIRBUS: Raport anual 2017 - riscuri pentru planul de afaceri datorate surselor de finanțare (27 - început #270) http://www.airbus.com/investors/financial-results-and-annualreports.html#annualreports

Airbus 2. Business-Related Risks (cont)

Availability of Government and Other Sources of Financing Since 1992, the EU and the US have operated under an agreement that sets the terms and conditions of financial support that governments may provide to civil aircraft manufacturers.

In late 2004, however, the US sought to unilaterally withdraw from this agreement, which eventually led to the US and the EU making formal claims against each other before the World Trade Organization (“WTO”). While both sides have expressed a preference for a negotiated settlement that provides for a level playing fi eld when funding future aircraft developments, they have thus far failed to reach agreement on key issues.

The terms and conditions of any new agreement, or the final outcome of the formal WTO proceedings, may limit access by the Company to risk-sharing-funds for large projects, may establish an unfavourable balance of access to government funds by the Company as compared to its US competitors or may in an extreme scenario cause the European Commission and the involved governments to analyse possibilities for a change in the commercial terms of funds already advanced to the Company.

In prior years, the Company and its principal competitors have each received different types of government financing of product research and development.

However, no assurances can be given that government financing will continue to be made available in the future, in part as a result of the proceedings mentioned above.

Moreover, the availability of other outside sources of financing will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the Company’s credit ratings, as well as the possibility that lenders or investors could develop a

Din 1992, UE și SUA au funcționat în cadrul unui acord care stabilește termenii și condițiile de sprijin financiar pe care guvernele le pot furniza producătorilor de aeronave civile.

Cu toate acestea, la sfârșitul anului 2004, SUA au încercat să se retragă unilateral din acest acord, ceea ce a dus în cele din urmă ca SUA și UE să facă reclamații formale în fața Organizației Mondiale a Comerțului ("OMC"). În timp ce ambele părți și-au exprimat dorința pentru o reglementare negociată, care să prevadă o abordare echilibrată în ceea ce privește finanțarea viitoarelor dezvoltări ale aeronavelor, SUA și UE nu au reușit până acum să ajungă la un acord privind chestiuni cheie.

Termenii și condițiile oricărui acord nou sau rezultatul final al procedurilor oficiale ale OMC pot limita accesul Societății la fonduri de împărțire a riscurilor pentru proiecte mari, pot determina un echilibru nefavorabil de acces al Societății la fondurile guvernamentale în comparație cu concurenții săi din SUA sau poate, într-un scenariu extrem, să determine Comisia Europeană și guvernele implicate să analizeze posibilitățile de modificare a termenilor comerciali ai fondurilor deja avansate către Companie. În anii anteriori, Compania și principalii săi concurenți au primit diferite tipuri de finanțări guvernamentale pentru cercetarea și dezvoltarea produselor.

Cu toate acestea, nu se poate garanta că finanțarea guvernamentală va continua să fie disponibilă în viitor, și datorită procedurilor menționate mai sus. În plus, disponibilitatea altor surse externe de finanțare va depinde de o varietate de factori, cum ar fi condițiile pieței, disponibilitatea generală a creditelor, ratingurile de credit ale Companiei, precum și posibilitatea ca creditorii sau investitorii să poată dezvolta o percepție negativă asupra Societății pe termen lung sau

Page 9 of 27

negative perception of the Company’s longor short-term financial prospects if it incurred large losses or if the level of its business activity decreased due to an economic downturn. The Company may therefore not be able to successfully obtain additional outside financing on appropriate terms, or at all, which may limit the Company’s future ability to make capital expenditures, fully carry out its research and development efforts and fund operations.

pe termen scurt în cazul în care a suferit pierderi mari sau dacă nivelul activității sale a scăzut din cauza unei recesiuni economice.

Prin urmare Compania nu poate să obțină cu succes finanțări suplimentare externe în condiții adecvate sau deloc, ceea ce ar putea limita capacitatea viitoare a Companiei de a face cheltuieli de capital, să-și îndeplinească integral eforturile de cercetare și dezvoltare și operațiunile de finanțare.

Cap. ITC Northrop Grumman Delivers First Gallium Nitride (GaN) G/ATOR System to US Marine Corps https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grumman-delivers-firstgallium-nitride-gan-gator-system-to-us-marine-corps

Northrop Grumman BALTIMORE – July 26, 2018

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has delivered the first AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) that incorporates advanced high power and high efficiency gallium nitride (GaN) antenna technology, further improving the system’s operational capabilities. This system was delivered ahead of schedule and is the seventh G/ATOR system delivered in the low rate initial production (LRIP) phase of the program.

Four G/ATOR systems preparing for fielding located at Northrop Grumman’s Stoney Run test range in Baltimore, Md.

GaN technology provides cost savings and multiple performance benefits including enhanced system sensitivity and increased reliability. All subsequent G/ATOR LRIP and full rate production systems will now incorporate this advanced GaN technology.

Delivery of the first GaN G/ATOR system follows the delivery of six LRIP systems to the Marines that began in early 2017. Utilizing two of those six systems, the Marine Corps achieved G/ATOR Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of the air surveillance mission in February of this year. The remaining four systems will establish IOC for the counter-battery mission later this year. As a result, G/ATOR systems, trained Marines and associated logistics support are now in operational service with Marines.

“The Marine Corps are the first to take delivery of a production ground based multi mission AESA radar that incorporates this advanced GaN technology,” said Roshan Roeder, vice president, land & avionics C4ISR division, Northrop Grumman. “The incorporation of this advanced technology in production radars is unique to the Marine Corps and enables G/ATOR to provide additional mission capability to the warfighter at an affordable cost.”

Both the Marine Corps and Northrop Grumman continue to make detailed preparations to successfully execute the full rate production program, which is scheduled to begin in early 2019.

Page 11 of 27

Additionally, given the AN/TPS-80’s open architecture design, Northrop Grumman was awarded a contract through the Office of Secretary of Defense Strategic Capabilities Office in 2016 to support the addition of a fire control mission.

The AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR is an advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) multi-mission radar that provides comprehensive real time, 360 degree situational awareness against a broad array of threats including fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned autonomous systems (UAS), and rockets, artillery and mortar. It is rapidly deployable worldwide to meet United State Marine Corps needs and includes the latest cyber and digital beam forming technology that enables the radar to perform multi-mission tasks at significantly lower operation and maintenance costs compared to existing USMC radar systems.

Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, space, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.

In vizita la Vard https://www.rumaniamilitary.ro/in-vizita-la-vard

Romania Military Cristian Ganciu 30 iulie 2018 - 6:00

La sfarsitul lunii iulie, Fincantieri a organizat, pentru presa, o vizita de documentare la santierele Vard din Tulcea si Braila.

Cum programul nu-mi permitea sa merg la amandoua, l-am vizitat pe cel de la Tulcea.

Aveam si motive in plus: tata a lucrat 10 ani in santier, unul din locurile mele preferate de joaca a fost zona halelor de montaj (in constructie, pe vremea aia), in liceu ma strecuram in santier sa vad lucrarile de reparatii la pescadoare.

Dupa 1990 am tot intrat in santier si am avut ocazia sa-l vad in diferite etape, cu Aker, cu STX OSV, cu Vard si, mai recent, cu Fincantieri, asa ca aveam o oarecare idee despre ce a facut fiecare companie, ca investitii in santier La santier am fost asteptati de o echipa condusa de dl.Mauro Leboffe, vicepresedinte executiv Vard si coordonator al santierelor Vard Tulcea si Braila, si de dl.Laurentiu Rusinoiu, directorul general al Vard Tulcea.

GENERAL DYNAMICS – Annual Report 2017 (4 - început cu #293) http://investorrelations.gd.com/~/media/Files/G/General-DynamicsIR/documents/annual-reports/2017-gd-annual-report.pdf EXTRAS

PART I ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT With approximately 60% of our revenue from the U.S. government, our financial performance is impacted by U.S. government spending levels, particularly defense spending. Over the past several years, U.S. defense spending has been mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). The BCA establishes spending caps over a 10-year period through 2021. On February 9, 2018, the Congress approved increases to the BCA spending caps and a budget for fiscal years (FY) 2018 and 2019. The FY 2018 defense budget totals $700 billion, which includes $629 billion in the base budget in compliance with the modified BCA spending caps and $71 billion for overseas contingency operations, representing an increase of more than 10% over FY 2017 spending levels. The FY 2019 defense budget totals $716 billion.

However, federal agencies and programs do not receive funding at the new levels until the corresponding appropriations bills are approved. The Congress has not yet passed the FY 2018 defense appropriation bill. As a result, we have been operating under a series of continuing resolutions (CRs), which have funded government agencies at FY 2017 spending levels, since the beginning of the government’s fiscal year. As of the filing of this Form 10-K on February 12, 2018, the current CR, signed Page 17 of 27

into law on February 9, 2018, funds the government through March 23, 2018. We do not anticipate that these CRs will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows The long-term outlook for our U.S. defense business is influenced by the relevance of our programs to the U.S. military’s funding priorities, the diversity of our programs and customers, our insight into customer requirements stemming from our incumbency on core programs, our ability to evolve our products to address a fastchanging threat environment and our proven track record of successful contract execution. International demand for military equipment and information technologies presents opportunities for our non-U.S. operations and exports from our North American businesses. While the revenue potential can be significant, there are risks to doing business in foreign countries, including changing budget priorities and overall spending pressures unique to each country. In our Aerospace group, we continue to experience strong demand across our product portfolio. We expect our continued investment in the development of new aircraft products and technologies to support the Aerospace group’s long-term growth. Similarly, we believe the aircraft services business will be a strong source of revenue as the global business-jet fleet grows. Across our portfolio, we focus on expanding operating earnings and the efficient conversion of earnings into cash. We emphasize effective program execution and the flexibility and agility to respond to changing circumstances in our business environment, and look for opportunities to drive cost reduction across our business.

Legislative process In April 2013, the Commission adopted a proposal to modernise the AD and AS instruments. Parliament voted on amendments in February 2014 and adopted its position in April 2014 (during the previous parliamentary term). At that time, Parliament was ready to negotiate with the Council to come to a first-reading agreement, but the Council was not able to agree on a common position. Meanwhile the Commission, and Parliament, in a May 2016 resolution and a July 2016 resolution, reiterated the importance of moving forward on the subject. Parliament's Committee on International Trade (INTA) held workshops for Members and stakeholders in 2012 and 2013. Parliament's position In its position of April 2014, Parliament rejected the idea of a two-week pre-disclosure to parties prior to the imposition of provisional measures, in an attempt to make impossible any form of speculative imports (i.e. goods that are imported shortly before the imposition of duties – and then stored inside the EU to be sold later, effectively circumventing the effect of AD/AS duties). Parliament also opposed the reimbursement of duties collected during expiry reviews in the event that, after the reviews, duties were not to be maintained. It argued that the non-application of the lesser-duty rule (LDR) in AD cases should be extended to a variety of situations, such as when EU complainants represent a diverse and fragmented industry, largely composed of SMEs, when the exporting country provides subsidies to the exporting producers; or when the exporting country fails to have sufficient social and environmental standards. The benchmarks for social standards would be the core International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions to be set out in an annexe to the regulation, and those for environmental standards would be the multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) to which the EU is party. However, the LDR would still apply where, although 'structural raw materials distortions' have been found to exist, the exporting country is considered a least-developed country (LDCs) on the basis of Regulation No 978/2012. Parliament called for the extension of ex-officio investigations to cases where the EU industry is diverse and fragmented and largely composed of SMEs. Parliament introduced amendments to the legislative proposal regarding the strengthening of the supportive role of the SME Help Desk; these went beyond the 2

proposal made by the Commission in its communication. The Commission had proposed to upgrade the SME Help Desk without legislative change which would not have led to a legally binding commitment. To enhance transparency, Parliament called on the Commission to share with the European Parliament and the Council, in its annual report, additional information relating to the application and implementation of the AD/AS Regulations as part of an interinstitutional dialogue, including on the use of TDIs by third countries targeting Union industry, and the activities of the Hearing Officer and the SME Help Desk. Moreover, Parliament called on the Commission to adopt provisional measures within 6 months and to reduce the overall duration of investigations wherever possible to 9 but in any case to 12 months for AD, and wherever possible to 9 but in any case to 10 months for AS investigations.

Igor Sikorsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Sikorsky

Wikipedia Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky (May 25, 1889 – October 26, 1972), was a Russian-American aviation pioneer in both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. His first success came with the S-2, the second aircraft of his design and construction. His fifth airplane, the S-5, won him national recognition as well as F.A.I. license number 64. His S-6A received the highest award at the 1912 Moscow Aviation Exhibition, and in the fall of that year the aircraft won for its young designer, builder and pilot first prize in the military competition at Saint Petersburg.
