Joint Strike Fighter EMD

Abstract

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program will develop and field a family of aircraft that meets needs of USN, United States Air Force (USAF), USMC, and allies, with maximum commonality among 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 countries, and Foreign Military Sales cases are participants in JSF Program. The program combines USN, USMC, USAF, and International Partner funding. The top line PE cost (R-2) reflects USN F-35C CV budgetary information only. However, funding at accomplishment/planned program level (R-2A) is reported in total (all services and partners) as activities support all aircraft variants. Within Navy, funding is roughly equal contribution of annual funding between USN and USMC. The System Development and Demonstration (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 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 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 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)
