한국정부에서 약 8.3조원 규모의 차기전투기(KF-X) 사업을 수주하기 위해 경쟁하고 있는 미국 록히드 마틴사가 사업수주를 할 경우 한국의 군용위성 제작은 물론 발사까지 지원할 것을 약속했다.
방어사업청은 2017을 기점으로 일선에 배치될 최신형 전투기 60대 구매 관련해 최종 후보 선정을 화요일부터 논의 하기로 했다. 선정된 사업자는 이번 달 말에 발표될 예정이다.
록히드 마틴은 “계약이 성사 되었을 시에 록히드 마틴은 한국이 단독적으로 관리하고 운용하는 군용 위성의 제작과 발사를 지원할 것”이라고 발표했다.
록히드 마틴의 국제사업 담당 데이비드 스캇은 “이 협력은 한국 국방에 직접적인 이득이 될 것이며 한국에 상당한 상업활동을 가능하게 함과 동시에 한국에 고도의 기술을 전수해 줄 것”이라고 얘기했다.
한국의 차기전투기 사업에 관하여 록히드 마틴 외에 미국의 보잉사와 유럽항공방위우주산업이 각각 F-15SE와 유로파이터를 선보였다.
한편 유럽항공방위우주산업청은 한국이 자국의 전투기 개발하는데 20억 달러의 투자와 한국의 경제 활성화를 위해 총 60대의 전투기 중 53대를 국내에서 생산하기로 했다. 보잉사 또한 한국 기업으로부터 부품을 구입하는 등 조건을 내걸었다.
한국은 전시작전통제권 회수가 이뤄지는 2015년에 맞춰서 한국은 기밀 정보에 대한 미국 의존도를 낮추기 위해 5대의 군용위성을 2021까지 개발을 계획하고 있다. 이러한 군용위성은 한국의 미사일방어 사업에 중대한 역할을 한다.

Lockheed Martin offers help on indigenous military satellite
By Song Sang-ho
Lockheed Martin said Tuesday it promised to help South Korea build and launch its indigenous military communications satellite as part of its offer to win Seoul’s 8.3 trillion won ($7.36 billion) fighter acquisition project.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration begins the bidding process Tuesday for the project to purchase a high-end fleet of 60 fighters and start deploying them in 2017. The winner is scheduled to be announced by the end of this month.
“(Should it win the contract, Lockheed Martin) will support the production and launch of a military communications satellite that South Korea will wholly own and independently operate,” the U.S. defense company said in a press release that laid out its vision of a “strategic partnership” with Seoul.
“This strategic partnership will directly benefit Korean national defense requirements, enable substantial industrial activity and transfer high technology to Korea,” said David Scott, the director of F-35 International Customer Engagement of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.
For Seoul’s next-generation fighter project, Lockheed Martin and the other two companies -- Boeing of the U.S. and the multinational European Aerospace Defense and Space Company -- are offering F-35’s air force variant, the F-15 Silent Eagle and the Eurofighter Tranche 3 Typhoon, respectively.
Boeing and EADS have also offered incentives to win Seoul’s largest-ever defense project.
EADS has pledged to invest $2 billion in Korea’s project to develop indigenous fighters and produce 53 of the total 60 fighters in Korea to help boost the local industry. Boeing also made attractive offers such as purchasing parts from Korean subcontractors.
Seoul plans to develop five military communications satellites by 2021 to reduce its excessive intelligence dependence on the U.S. as it is preparing to retake wartime operational control in December 2015. Such satellites are a key part of Seoul’s project to establish a low-tier missile defense shield. (sshluck@heraldcorp.com)
