F-35
Abstract
The F-35A UIDES effort develops a system that supports IER data transfer. UIDES allows F-35A operations, maintenance, training and financial data to be integrated within existing Air Force enterprise systems. The AFSEO delivers warfighting capability through aircraft/store compatibility testing and evaluation and provides accurate combat weapon delivery and mission planning software. Beginning in FY2020, the USAF supported FTI wiring and weapons integration tasks related to SEEK EAGLE requests. These tasks include, but are not limited to, envelope expansion, mixed loads testing, adding additional stores, and F-35A specific risk reduction efforts and studies. The QRIP / CSFD system is a government-owned, off-the-shelf solution from the 59 TES for F-35 high-capacity data recording needs. Designed for operational test and evaluation, the system serves multiple emerging needs for data collection. By capturing CSFD from operational aircraft, QRIP reduces the need for deliberate regression flight testing and allows the test enterprise to focus on Block 4 and future capability development. In FY2025, the 59 TES will produce and install 25 QRIP data recording devices on F-35A aircraft. Also in FY2025, data ingest capable systems will be utilized to support the data processing, storage, and transmission of all F-35 generated CSFD sources. Tyndall AFB (FL) is scheduled for modifications and KM in FY2025. These bases are prioritized in accordance with the CSFD Program Roadmap. A team of sixteen contractors at each base are required to sustain CSFD associated hardware and software at Full Operating Capability. Meanwhile, the 59 TES will continue studying means to increase the operational viability of CSFD, including the use of data science teams, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2023 $3.4M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2024 $3.4M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
