La elección por Singapur de un nuevo sistema de entrenamiento aéreo avanzado el próximo mes de marzo, podría ser crucial para el M-346 Master (Italia), y el T-50 Golden Eagle (Corea del Sur). Estos jets de entrenamiento disimilar son los ofrecidos por los principales contratistas, ST Aero y Lockheed Martin. La decisión influirá en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, que no terminaron de confirmar el pasado Noviembre, su anunciada selección del M-346. La diferencia entre los procesos de elección es que Singapur contrata un sistema de entrenamiento global, y Emiratos Árabes Unidos solamente un avión. Lockheed Martin ya proporciona entrenamiento a la Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), bajo un contrato firmado a finales de 2006.

Singapore’s choice of an advanced jet training system is due next month and could be crucial to the future export prospects of Italy’s M-346 Master and Korea’s T-50 Golden Eagle. These dissimilar training jets have been bid here by rival prime contractors, ST Aero and Lockheed Martin, respectively. The decision here is likely to influence the United Arab Emirates, which notably failed last November to confirm its previously announced selection of the M-346 over the T-50.
The difference between these two evaluations is that Singapore will contract for a total training system, including simulators and classroom trainers. The UAE is selecting an aircraft and will then hold a separate competition for a training systems provider. Lockheed Martin is already providing the basic wings course to the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) under a, private finance contract awarded in late 2006.
