Test and Evaluation (T&E)
Abstract
The F-35 Test and Evaluation (T&E) development portfolio is aligned with the program's Continuous Capability Development and Delivery (C2D2) efforts and is organized in five primary lines of effort; Development Foundation Contract, Development Test, Operational Test, Future Flight Test Capabilities/Investments, Ground Test and Simulation Infrastructure. This breakout is intended to categorize the developmental test efforts with more specificity and transparency. 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 modification 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 Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), and the Block 4 Capability Development Document (CDD). Ground test and simulation infrastructure include efforts for laboratory developments of Improvement & Modernization (I&M) assets, development of Ground Test & Evaluation Capabilities for digital and non-digital installed systems verification, and cyber testing. Costs in the Accomplishments/Planned and Program R-2A section have been broken out into the following categories: Development Foundation Contract, Development Test, Operational Test, Future Flight Test Capabilities/Investments, Ground Test and Simulation Infrastructure. This breakout is intended to categorize the developmental test efforts with more specificity and transparency. FY22 funding totals include $116.915M requested for the Pacific Defense Initiative.
