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)

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 JSFs 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
