Test and Evaluation (TE)
Abstract
Integrated Test activities in support of Block 4, to include Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney 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 ICD, the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization ICS, 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 STOVL Aircraft. Beginning in FY2022, Test and Evaluation (T&E) was established as a separate, distinct project within the Continuous Capability Development & Delivery (C2D2) Program Element, per Congressional direction. Efforts are continued from Project Unit 2936, which is still included at the end of the R-2A for Fiscal years FY2020 & FY2021. This Project Unit has also been updated to reflect the directed project categories to provide traceability between current execution and the FY2022 request.
