(U)Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) - EMD

Abstract

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program will develop and field a family of 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, (seven) other International countries, and (four) Foreign Military Sales cases are participants in the JSF Program. The program combines USN, USMC, USAF, and International Partner funding. The top line PE cost reflects USMC F-35B Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) budgetary information only. However, funding at the accomplishment/planned program level is reported in total (all services and partners) as the activities support all aircraft variants. Within the Navy, funding is a roughly equal contribution of annual funding by the USN and USMC. Funding under this USN program element supports core F-35 System Development and Demonstration (SDD) objectives and aircraft Follow-on Development efforts. The overall SDD Budget funds a total quantity of 20 RDT&E test articles to include 6 ground test articles and 14 flight test articles for Navy and Air Force use. The following fiscal year phasing of the test articles reflects the scheduled first flight of each flight test asset or production line roll out of each ground test asset: FY07: 1 Conventional Take Off and Landing (CTOL) flight test article FY08: 1 Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) flight test article, 1 STOVL ground test FY09: 1 STOVL flight test article, 2 CTOL ground test articles FY10: 6 flight test articles (3 CTOL, 2 STOVL, 1 Carrier Variant (CV)), 3 ground test articles (1 STOVL, 2 CV) FY11: 4 flight test articles (1 CTOL, 1 STOVL, 2 CV) FY12: 1 flight test article (CV)

Change Summary Explanation
Financial: Financial adjustments reflect increased funding associated with the 2-year extension of SDD Program. Schedule: Significant changes to schedule reflect program restructure resulting from a critical Nunn-McCurdy breach and Acquisition Decision Memorandum guidance (dated 2 June 2010) as well as subsequent two-year extension of program to accommodate completion of Development Testing/Operational Testing. Schedule now includes detail for Test and Evaluation of JSF variants. Specific slips associated with this restructure include: CV 1st flight occurred in 3rd Quarter FY 10, Block 2 Operational Test & Evaluation to conclude in 4th Quarter FY 15, and Block 3 Operational Test & Evaluation to conclude 2nd Quarter 2016. Performance Based Logistics (PBL) (increasing scale and fidelity thru MYP), Follow-on Development, and Dual Capability Aircraft Integration have been added to the schedule.
