Test and Evaluation (T&E)
Abstract
Integrated Test activities in support of Continuous Capability Development and Delivery (C2D2), Lockheed Martin support at all test sites, non-recurring engineering required to plan for the service life extension of existing development test (DT) aircraft, modifications necessary to bring DT aircraft fleet to a more production-representative configuration, 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 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 Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) Aircraft. Integrated test also supports the evaluation of upgrades to Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), fielding of Operational Data Integrated Network (ODIN) Base Kits, regression testing of fielded weapons upgrades, and various validation/verification efforts. Costs in the Accomplishments/Planned Program section have been broken out into the following categories: Development Foundation Contract (DFC), DT, Operational Test (OT), Future Flight Test Capabilities/Investments, and Ground Test and Simulation Infrastructure (GTSI). All of the development efforts presented in the budget submission existed in prior years and were rolled up under previously submitted Accomplishments/Planned Program costs in the Test and Evaluation category. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22, $54.5M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this project element, and in FY23, $58.7M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this project element.
