Test and Evaluation (T&E)

Abstract

Integrated Test activities in support of C2D2, to include Lockheed Martin support at all test sites. Non-recurring engineering required to plan for the service life extension of existing DT aircraft and modifications necessary to bring DT aircraft fleet to a more production-representative and sustainable configuration, and to develop flight test instrumentation and release test software to meet Block 4 requirements. Additional upgrades required to support development and evaluation of improvements driven by changes in the threat environment and as identified in the Electronic Warfare ICD, the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization ICD, and the Block 4 Capability Development Document (CDD). Efforts include non-recurring engineering and procurement of a test article to evaluate service life of F-35B STOVL Aircraft. Integrated test also supports the evaluation of upgrades to ALIS, fielding of ODIN Base Kits, regression testing of fielded weapons upgrades, and various validation/verification efforts. Costs in the Accomplishments/Planned and Program R2A section have been broken out into the following R-2A categories: Development Foundation Contract, Development Test, Operational Test, Future Flight Test Capabilities/Investments, Ground Test and Simulation Infrastructure. All of the development efforts presented in the budget submission existed in prior years and were rolled up under previously submitted Accomplishments/ Planned and Program costs in Test and Evaluation category.
