Product Development - Block 4 Planning and Systems Engineering
Abstract
Block 4 Planning and Systems Engineering preliminarily design and delta System Requirements Review (SRR) for all variants of the F-35 Aircraft. Modernization efforts is the Requirements Decomposition of capabilities for the entire Block 4 upgrade to include sub-blocks 4.1 and 4.2. This is a continuation of the previous Block 4 Requirements Decomposition effort which will include activities leading up to a successful System Functional Review (SFR) and select facility upgrades required for Block 4 research, development, test and evaluation. Included in Block 4 are upgraded capabilities and continuous improvements to maintain Air System viability against evolving threats indicated in the Electronic Warfare Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), the Fifth Generation Fighter Modernization ICD, and the Block 4 Capability Development Document (CDD), reduce life cycle cost, and improve operational suitability. Upgraded capabilities and improvements to include continuous upgrade of joint reprogramming enterprise labs, the continued development and re-architecture of the autonomic logistics information system and training investments. Expected completion of a Block 4.1 Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and a Block 4.2 System Requirements Review (SRR) will address additional Block 4 capabilities requirements. Post-PDR risk reduction, preplanning for subsequent Block 4 Modernization events, and investments to deliver the full Block 4 Air System capabilities are included.
