Rafael Sotomayor intervenes at FEINDEF to discuss the future of the Fuerza 35 program and defend the army-company forums
In his talk called "Conclusions of the IV Army-Business-Industry Forum (FORUM 2E + I)" this morning, Rafael Sotomayor, Defense and Security Advisor at Navantia, highlighted that these forums are a unique opportunity for exchange between the industry and the military.
Referring to the Fuerza 35 program and the "Endowment Plan for the Comprehensive Combat System", Sotomayor has indicated, among other things, that it is necessary to provide the projects with a sufficient budgetary framework that includes not only the VCR 8X8 but also its cycle of life. In this sense, he added that the lack of a budgetary horizon can lead to the exhaustion of the model.
For the next forum, he hopes that other topics that are not strictly technological will be addressed, such as the elaboration of first-level requirements (the system of systems for the brigade-frigate), as well as the improvement of the procurement processes and that these approach those of defense planning.
