F-35
Abstract
F-35 FoM provides continuing incremental upgrades of the three F-35 variants and associated ground equipment. Upgrades are essential mission improvements for Air Interdiction and Strategic Attack, Close Air Support, Suppression and Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses, Offensive and Defensive Counter Air and expanded Surface Warfare. The Block 4 acquisition strategy is based upon incremental deliveries of capabilities in 4 sub-blocks. The strategy includes deliveries on a two year cycle with a focus on hardware and tech refresh change every four years. FoM capability planning includes an efficient transition from F-35 SDD to Follow-on Modernization. As SDD development activities ramp down FoM will assume responsibility for improvements and modernization efforts. Block 4 capability planning includes sub-block 4.1 through 4.4 modernization efforts with initial increment of capability available in FY2021 and subsequent releases every two years.
