In the midst of a global military budget gloom, defense companies attending this year’s Farnborough Air Show, are looking to the Middle East and Asia to boost weapons sales while Europe and U.S make budget cuts
In a surprising move, defense giant Northrop Grumman decided to skip the air show this year to focus on exhibitions in Asia and the Middle East where the demand for weapons is rising
In addition to Northrop, Vice Admiral David Venlet, the head of the U.S’ F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program and the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer, Frank Kendall have chosen to stay away this year
Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing Military Aircraft, pointed out in an interview to Reuters that the reason for this year’s gloomy air show was the “continuing uncertainty about the U.S. budget”
Boeing is showcasing its V-22 Osprey with flight demonstrations in an effort to keep buyers from the Middle East, Israel and Japan interested
According to a report, by 2016 global aerospace and defence firms will have won $500 billion in cumulative weapons sales with foreign countries namely India, China, Brazil, Mexico and Turkey
Among the relatively modest announcements from the Farnborough air show 2012 is a 636 million order placed by Morocco AIM-9X Block II missile from Raytheon and an Indonesian contract with Embraer for a second batch of eight light attack and tactical training A-29 Super Tucano
