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 Developmental Test (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 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 STOVL Aircraft. Beginning in FY 2022, Test and Evaluation (T&E) was established as a separate, distinct project within the Continuous Capability Development and Delivery (C2D2) Program Element, per Congressional direction. Efforts are continued from BPAC 675346, which is still included at the end of the R-2A for FY 2020 and FY 2021. This project has also been updated to reflect the directed project categories to provide traceability between current execution and the FY 2022 request.
