F-35 AGCAS Testing Agile Implementation of Collision Avoidance Systems

Abstract

The F-35 enterprise elected to implement AGCAS capability 7 years earlier than originally planned and overcome all real and presumed barriers. This presentation covers some of the lessons learned from jet hardware assumptions to dive planning safety considerations and test methods that have changed forever the way we plan and execute medium to high risk diving test points. Ultimately, this presentation will demonstrate an agile path from the first AGCAS test flight to release to unmonitored active AGCAS system on all squadron jets in three days.
