Pentagon focused on weapons, data fusion as F-35 nears combat use

By Andrea Shalal-Esa

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

Lockheed Martin Corp's F-35 fighter

jet is making good progress as it

nears initial combat use by the U.S.

Marine Corps in July 2015, but the

company must still finalize the

software needed to deliver weapons

and fuse data from its many

sensors, the Pentagon's F-35

program chief told Reuters.

"Getting to 2015 there's a whole lot

of things that have to be put in

place, not the least of which is the

software on the program," said Lt.

Gen. Chris Bogdan, the Air Force

three-star general who took over the

helm of the $392 billion F-35

program around one year ago.

Software was the program's No.1

critical issue, he said, noting that the

jet alone had more than 8.5 million

lines of code, while its related

systems had 11 or 12 million more.

Officials have also launched an

"earnest effort" to ensure that planes

already built for the Air Force and

Marine Corps are modified to adjust

for issues found in flight testing so

they are ready for initial combat use,

Bogdan said.

The Air Force has said it plans to

start using its conventional takeoff F-35 jets from mid-2016. The Navy will follow

suit in late 2018.

Lockheed is building three models of the radar-evading warplane for the U.S.

military and eight countries that helped fund its development: Britain, Canada,

Norway, Australia, Turkey, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark. Japan and Israel

have also ordered F-35 jets.

12/5/2013http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pentagon-focused-weapons-data-fusion-f-35-nears-011621...

Bogdan told a defense logistics conference on Wednesday that the Pentagon's

biggest weapons program - which is years behind schedule and 70 percent over

initial cost estimates - had a "tragic past," but was now making good progress.

Bogdan said it was time to take "that baggage from the past and put it aside and

judge the program where it is today."

He said Lockheed is on track to deliver 36 jets this year, and the cost of the plane

was coming down year after year. Flight testing was about 60 days behind

schedule after two separate groundings early this year, but the delay could be

absorbed by the margin built into the development program.

At Eglin Air Force Base in Florida on

Wednesday, the program hit a new

single-day record of F-35 flights,

flying 45 training missions with all

three models of the new jet, said

Joe DellaVedova, spokesman for

the F-35 program office.

The total included 32 flights with the

Marine Corp's B-model, which can

land like a helicopter, 10 flights with

the conventional A-model, and three

flights with the Navy's C-model,

designed to land on aircraft carriers. In addition, one Dutch F-35 returned to Eglin

from Maryland.

In an interview after his speech, Bogdan rejected criticism that the Pentagon is

plowing ahead blindly with a program that is too complex and expensive. He said

the government knows "an awful lot" about the airplane and its cost and is doing

better holding its manufacturers accountable for their performance.

Bogdan said critics of the F-35 focused on the program's delays and technical

shortfalls, but the U.S. military and its allies were growing more confident in the

plane every day.

He said there was growing international interest in the new stealth fighter, and

South Korea, Singapore and other countries could place orders in coming years.

Such orders were good for all the countries involved because they would drive

down the cost of each airplane and associated infrastructure, he said.

By some measure, including the F-35's ability to maneuver tight turns, the F-35 is

on par or even slightly below that of current fighter planes, Bogdan said.

But the plane's ability to combine data from a host of different sensors and share it

with other aircraft made it "a vastly superior airplane" than current warplanes, he

said.

"What makes the airplane leaps and bounds better than legacy airplanes," he said,

"is the ability to know what's going on around it when it comes to other airplanes

and other threats, and its ability to take that information and give the pilot a very

clear picture and then give that picture to a lot of other people who don't have the

sophisticated sensors that we have."

He declined to give details since some of those attributes are classified, but said

testing of the software that would provide the "360-degree situational awareness"

was going well.

"Some of that stuff is in the classified realm, so people don't understand it and we

can't talk freely about it," he said. "Until we get out there and prove that, people are

going to be naturally hesitant because that is a leap above what we have today. It

makes everybody in the battlespace smarter."

Bogdan said relations between the government and the prime contractors on the

program - Lockheed and engine maker Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United

Technologies Corp - had improved sharply since he became deputy director in July

2012.

Just over a year ago, Bogdan described that relationship as the "worst" he had ever

seen in decades of working on acquisition programs.

Since then, the Pentagon had dramatically increased its oversight of the program

and had become far more vigilant about holding the companies that build it

accountable, he said.

But the F-35 program office and the contractors also communicate more often and

more openly than before, he said.

"What we embarked on over the last 18 months is constant...'straight talk' with our

contractor and our stakeholders," he said, noting that he had spoken three times on

Wednesday alone with Lockheed's F-35 program manager, Lorraine Martin. "The

communication between the program office and them is much more constructive

now than destructive."

"The more we talk and the more we communicate, the more we understand each

other's position, we can get past the blame game and get on to finding solutions for

things," he said.

Bogdan said the Navy version of the new fighter was also making progress and

testing of a redesigned tail hook that allows the plane to land on aircraft carriers

would begin in coming months after completion of a critical design review.

My guess is 80% of the budget was to pay-off various politicians and the

overhead of building parts in every state. Imagine how superior this plane could

have been if they could have used that money to hire more engineers and build

better testing and simulation rigs.

In 2005, I was a contract systems engineer at R.R., responsible for health

monitoring of the LiftFan used on the Marine F35. The two key sensors that keep

the pilot safe during STOL were the oil debris monitor and the vibration sensors.

Based on my many years of vibration experience, the original sensors were too

insensitive and too heavily filtered to meet future diagnostic capability that they

had projected. I was not willing to pass along an inadequate sensor that protects
