• Background:◦ Engine surge, fire occurred during take-off roll at Eglin AFB

(23 June)◦ USN, USAF, UK and NL grounded F-35 fleet (3 July)◦ Returned to flight using limited envelope and flight duration

times (14 July)• Engineering Analysis:

◦ Root Cause review completed on 10 Oct 14◦ Due to excessive rub between an engine fan component

and adjacent seal

• Root Cause Corrective Action

Root Cause Analysis1) Rub rig tests

◦ Replicated problem & verified acceptable bite size◦ Started 27 August; Completed 7 October

2) Evaluated and verified close down model◦ Key tools used to return SDD aircraft back to flight

3) Fault tree closure: complete◦ Rub rig test complete: 7 October◦ Probable root cause complete: 30 September◦ Root cause review completed: 10 October

Return to Flight1) Prioritized SDD aircraft for envelope

clearance◦ AF-2, CF-2, CF-5, BF-3, AF-6 & AF-7 have

expanded flight envelopes◦ CF-3 executing arrestment testing

2) SDD engine flight test break-in procedure ◦ Successful rub-in flights on AF-4

3) Pre-trench prototype design change◦ Test plan review

- Completed 21 Oct◦ Fly week of 27 October◦ Validate design safety

4) Production final redesign review◦ Six potential options: early November◦ Inspection interval evaluation (3 hr)

- Early November review

Engine Way Ahead

Other Actions1) Enterprise wide process for future mishaps2) PW contracting changes: retrofits and production cut-in solution at no cost to the Gov’t

Future JPO and Accident Investigation Communication Improvement

JPO

Service/PartnerAirworthiness

(AW) Authorities

Three Phased Approach:1. Establish guidelines to allow tech data to

flow from field to JPO/AW when incident occurs- Late October

2. Must update MOU/MOAs with relevant agencies to document processes with formal agreements- End of calendar year

3. Author Decision Memorandum with Partners to cover possible Partner incidents- End of calendar year

Must give decision makers technical data to insure fleet aircraft safety while protecting integrity of the safety investigation board

Overview• LRIP 5 – 32 A/C (All DD250’d)

• LRIP 6 – 36 A/C (15 in Major Assembly, 21 in Flight & Ground Ops)

• LRIP 7 – 35 aircraft (25 in Component Assembly, 10 in Major Assembly)

• LRIP 8 – 43 aircraft (29 in Component Assembly)

Issues• LRIP 5 deliveries were ~3 months late to contract

◦ Primary driver: TR1 ICP hardware shortage◦ Last LRIP 5 delivery completed 26 Sept 14

• LRIP 6 deliveries (late to contract) but 1 month early to warfighter◦ Final assembly parts shortages (2 mos), 3i S/W delay (3 mos)◦ LRIP 6 is currently expected to start deliveries in late Oct 14◦ 18 F-35A’s in LRIP 6

- 14 to Luke AFB and 4 to Nellis AFB• LRIP 8 contract award in mid Nov 14

◦ Handshake completed◦ 19 F-35A’s (Hill AFB, Luke AFB, Nellis AFB)◦ Includes $60M warranty for F-35B bulkhead deficiencies

As of 22 Oct 14

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // REL TO USA ONLY SLIDE #: F-35 DOC #: 342121AS BRIEFED: 27 Oct 14

• Enterprise understands timing of F-35 and B61-12 and are in sync with criticality of DCA

• Exploring options to begin F-35 flights in 2015 to inform Bomb Assembly Baseline Design Review (2nd Qtr CY16) and Tail Kit Assembly Critical Design Review (1st Qtr CY16)

• OSD AT&L directed the Air Force to add funding in the FY17 POM◦ SAF/AQ to close with AF/A8 on the minimum funding profile◦ Funding required from USAF and cannot be absorbed by already allocated JPO resources◦ Effort is not early to need; staffers need to see Department/Service commitment to fund

Path to 60% AVA◦ JPO established Readiness Cell and JPO/LM the Sustainment Improvement Project Review Team with a shared

goal to enable the F-35 to reach 60% AVA or greater across all variants by end of Calendar year 2014◦ Based on what we know today, we expect 50-55% AVA by end of CY14◦ Upcoming challenges of Depot mods for USMC IOC may delay achievement of 60% AVA until Jul 15

F-35 Availability

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY // REL TO USA & CAN DND SLIDE #: F-35 DOC #: 342121AS BRIEFED: 27 Oct 14

• Canada swaps 4 LRIP 7 aircraft in CY15; payback with LRIP 9 aircraft

• Progress to date:◦ AF concurred 4 aircraft swap is executable with 2 caveats:

- USAF F-35 IOC remains on schedule – “No flex left”- If other partners make similar request, it would be difficult to accommodate

• Next Steps:◦ Canada needs to deliver Letter of Intent with updated beddown plan to F-35 PEO

- ECD mid-November◦ Congressional Notification letter being staffed through JPO

- ECD late-November
