Often turbulent and rarely smooth, transatlantic defense-industrial relations are headed for rough weather, with problems building on several fronts. At the eve of the brewing storm is the thorny issue of technology access and sharing between Washington and its European partners. Concerns in this area already are emerging on the recently selected $6-billion-plus North Atlantic Treaty Organization Alliance Ground Surveillance program. At the same time, Great Britain's long-running efforts to negotiate a waiver that would ease industrial collaboration appears to have stalled, while technology access issues also are proving knotty on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
