F-35
Abstract
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program will develop and field an affordable, highly common family of next generation strike aircraft for the United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps and International Partners countries. There are three variants the F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing variant; F-35B Short Take Off and Vertical Landing; and the F-35C Aircraft Carrier suitable variant. Maximum commonality among the variants, consistent with National Disclosure Policy, will minimize total air system life cycle costs. Planning and pre-development systems engineering for Block 4 continues as Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is met for each variant during System Development and Demonstration (SDD). The JSF Continuous Capability Development & Delivery (C2D2) efforts provide incremental warfighting capability improvements to maintain joint air dominance against evolving threats. Block 4 capability requirements were initiated through ongoing Service-led operational analysis of warfighting gaps identified in the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), and through F-35 JSF Block 4 Mission Decomposition analysis completed in FY 2014. These analyses serve as the basis for the Block 4 (CDD), staffed through the Air Force Requirements Oversight Council (AFROC) and signed by the USAF Chief of Staff in January 2015. Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved the CDD 21 March 2017. Modernization activities in FY 2017 and FY 2018 include systems engineering, risk reduction, and infrastructure required to deliver full air system Block 4 capabilities to support initial fleet availability of Block 4 upgrades in FY 2020 with the fielding of Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System (AGCAS). Block 4 efforts include a robust weapons integration portfolio and provide new opportunities for International Partners to assess, integrate, and field unique capabilities based on global sovereign requirements. F-35 C2D2 provides continuing incremental upgrades of the three F-35 variants and associated ground equipment. Upgrades are essential capabilities 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 C2D2 acquisition strategy is based upon incremental deliveries of capabilities. The strategy includes periodic deliveries with a focus on hardware, tech refresh and software. C2D2 capability planning includes an efficient transition from F-35 SDD to C2D2. As SDD development activities ramp down C2D2 will assume responsibility for improvements and modernization efforts. The United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark and Norway are participants in F-35 modernization. The program shown here reflects United States Air Force funding. Total funding for all Service and International Partners is reported at the accomplishment/planned program level since activities support all aircraft variants. Foreign Military Sales are ongoing separately. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver F-35 weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F PE 0604840F continues funding common requirements for the joint program (US Services and International Partners) previously programmed for in PE 0207142F for common Block 4 requirements beginning in FY 2020. This is not a new start. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
