F-35 Delivery Freeze Complicated By Software Doubts, Hardware Shortages
Steve Trimble December 12, 2023
 

The head of the Pentagon F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) said on Dec. 12 he still cannot predict when a software issue that has halted new aircraft deliveries from Lockheed Martin since July will be corrected.

The software for Technology Refresh-3 (TR-3), a $1.6 billion cockpit electronics upgrade, was supposed to be delivered before July, but continued delays caused by discoveries of unstable code during flight testing have pushed back the schedule to April-June of 2024. The JPO is refusing to accept new F-35 deliveries until the TR-3 software is fixed.

But the timing of a resolution to the software problem is complicated by the performance of Lockheed’s ground-based software laboratories, Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt, the F-35 program executive officer, tells the House Armed Services subcommittee on tactical air and land forces.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

How's that putting all your eggs in the F-35 basket working out?

Maybe Britain can lend us some of their planes ...
