Reducing Risk On Joint Strike Fighter

摘要

The avionics suite of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) will probably be the most extensively tested of any aviation electronics, with much of the work performed before systems fly on the intended airframe. Indeed, risk reduction is a focal point of the $45 billion development program led by Lockheed Martin. "We have a risk-reduction philosophy of 'defense in depth.' Defense against failure at each juncture, particularly out a lot of analysis on root causes (of faults) on legacy programs. Our team has a lot of strength in that area."
