F-35 Squadrons
Abstract
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program will develop and field an affordable, highly common family of next generation strike aircraft for the United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps and International Partners countries. The three variants are the F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing; F-35B Short Take Off and Vertical Landing; and the F-35C Aircraft Carrier suitable variant.Maximum commonality among the variants, consistent with National Disclosure Policy, will minimize total air system life cycle costs. Planning and pre-development systems engineering for the FOM continues as Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is met for each variant during System Development and Demonstration (SDD). The JSF FoM efforts provide incremental warfighting capability improvements to maintain joint air dominance against current and evolving threats. FoM capability requirements were initiated through ongoing Service-led operational analysis of warfighting gaps identified in the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), and through F-35 JSF FoM Mission Decomposition analysis completed in FY2014. These analyses serve as the basis for the F-35 FoM Capabilities Development Document (CDD), staffed through the Air Force Requirements Oversight Council (AFROC) and signed by the USAF Chief of Staff in January 2015. Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved the CDD 21 March 2017. Pre-modernization activities in FY2017 and FY2018 include systems engineering, risk reduction, and infrastructure upgrades to support initial fleet availability of FoM upgrades in 2021. FoM efforts designated as Block 4 include a robust weapons integration portfolio and provide new opportunities for International Partners to assess, integrate, and field unique capabilities based on global sovereign requirements. Additionally, the F-35 JSF Operational Requirements Document (ORD) calls for the F-35A to have the capabilities and provisions for Dual-Capable Aircraft (DCA) operations in the first post-SDD block upgrade. DCA refers to the capability to carry and deliver conventional and non-conventional weapons. DCA operation for the F-35A is internal carriage of up to two B-61s. Due to extensive certification requirements, the DCA capability planning and design, testing and certification will continue throughout Block 4. The United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Australia, Denmark and Norway are participants in F-35 modernization. The program shown here reflects United States Marine Corps funding. Total funding for all Service and International Partners is reported at the accomplishment/planned program level since activities support all aircraft variants. Foreign Military Sales are ongoing separately.
