Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA) (F-35 JSF)
Abstract
This effort provides for the assessment of Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA) weapon integration and certification impacts on the F-35A aircraft. It identifies and mitigates potential technical and cost risks, as well as defines the integration and certification trade-space to field the DCA capability with the B61-12 weapon. This effort also supports follow-on risk reduction efforts that will ensure future integration alignment with the earliest feasible post-SDD block upgrade, and is expected to include full integration efforts pending Service decisions. 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.
