  1. Joint Strike Fighter“Interoperable by Design”National Defense Industrial Association System Engineering ConferenceSan Diego, CA22 October 2003 John Gruetzmacher, Lockheed Martin

  2. JSF Program Focus Affordability Low Flyaway Cost Significantly Reduced Life Cycle Costs Lethality Adverse Weather Accurate Weapons Delivery Weapons Flexibility Survivability Signature Performance, SA, Countermeasures Supportability Service Basing Requirements LO Maintainability Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company

  3. JSF International Participation Norway The Netherlands Canada Denmark U.K. United States Turkey Italy Australia Lockheed Martin currently contracted to meet US and UK requirements and understand other partner country requirements

  4. Common Aircraft Configurations F-35A F-35B F-35C CTOL (USAF) STOVL (USMC and UK) CV (USN)

  5. JSF Warfighter Capabilities • Versatile Weapons Capability • Cooperative Ops • Full Off-Board Interoperability • Fused, Coherent Common Operational Picture • Intelligent Tactical Decision Aids • Presented to the Pilot in an Advanced Cockpit • Multi-Function AESA • UHR SAR • Autonomous Location and ID • Precision Attack • Long Range IRST • Passive Precision Emitter Location and Targeting Unprecedented Lethality and Survivability • All Around Situation Awareness

  6. The Autonomic Logistics Concept Smart, Reliable Aircraft Reduced Footprint Integrated Support Infrastructure Support Equipment Partnering with Government and Industry for Best Value Integrated Electronic Training of Pilots and Maintainers A Global Revolution In Fighter Sustainment

  7.

  8. JSF Interoperability Transformation • A cornerstone for improved US/UK/coalition interoperability and network centric operations • Enables New Approaches To Strike Operations • Common and interoperable avionics systems • 3000 aircraft built to exact same IO standards • 6000 including International Partners • Unsurpassed strike fighter communications capability (IFDL, Link-16, VMF, SATCOM) Enabled By

  9. Evolvable Airborne Architecture JRE (J or K Series Messages) Threat Broadcasts Outside World Combat RadioNetworks Tactical Data Links(J Series Messages) JRE SATCOM Mission Systems SATCOM Link 16 VMF PHM Programmable Software CNI Suite • Pilot Aids/Fusion • Sensor Management • Attack Aids • Jeopardy Assessors • Route Planners System Attributes • Open Architecture • COTS Implementation • Tech Refresh Pilot

  10. Emerging External Interoperability Issues • JSF Interoperability promise not fully realized if external OPFACs not upgraded to 2010 standards • Requires cross DoD/MoD effort to achieve best interoperability outcome at JSF IOC and beyond • JSF working to further identify OPFAC interoperability disconnects • Link-16 capacity may be inadequate to support large number of JSF’s in the post 2010 operational environment • Initial MITRE Corp assessment highlighted potential shortfall

  11. Emerging External Interoperability Issues (cont) • Emerging standards may not be available in time to meet JSF design “cut offs”. Examples are: • Some Joint Tactical Radio System Waveforms • Threat Broadcast Systems (IBS vs. TDDS/TIBS) • Unambiguous/Timely Variable Message Format Standard

  12. JSF - Designed For Interoperability Flight Ops JSF01664 JSF - A Key Node in the System of Systems

  13. Toward Greater Combat Effectiveness Improved Flight Characteristics Improved Planning, Tasking, & ISR Increased Reliability of On-Board Systems Counter Threat Systems Information Integration All Wx, Day/Night Improved Logistics Info Systems Improved R&M/PHM JIT Transport Mechanized/Stovepiped Manual Operations
