A Great System Right Out of the Chocks: How the JSF Delivers Mission Capabilities

Abstract

Achieving a usable, valued, and timely capability for the warfighter can be a complex task if you are looking to satisfy everyones requirements in a single step. Modern-day acquisition programs have found that evolving capabilities to the warfighter can be successful if two factors can be successfully managed: achieving an alignment between the technical maturity of the platform (hardware, software, personnel, etc.) and what the stakeholders feel they must have in order to provide the best system capability for the particular point in the systems life cycle. The challenge is to fully assess the physical potential of the weapons system and the time-critical needs of the full range of users.
