Joint Strike Fighter Squadrons

Abstract

The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program will develop and deploy a family of highly common, affordable next generation, stealthy, multi-role strike fighter aircraft that meets the needs of the USN, USAF, USMC and allies with maximum commonality among the variants, consistent with National Disclosure Policy, to minimize life cycle costs. This is a joint program with no executive service. Navy and Air Force each provide approximately equal shares of annual funding to the program. The United Kingdom, other International Partner nations, and Foreign Military Sales customers are also participants in the JSF program. Follow-on Development will continue the evolutionary approach of System Development and Demonstration (SDD) by providing capability enhancements through a combined incremental and spiral methodology. The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) and Defense Acquisition System (DAS) will provide the framework and basis for defining, managing and acquiring the envisioned F-35 enhancements. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
