Striking the balance

摘要

In an era of escalating threats, shrinking budgets and service-life exhaustion of legacy tactical weapon systems, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is answering the call to serve as a multinational, multirole, fifth generation fighter.rnDefense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) in Virginia - the aviation demand and supply chain manager for the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) - has positioned itself to meet the support and sustainment challenges of the JSF program. DSCR's capabilities are far reaching - it supplies more than 1.3 million aviation-related repair parts and supports approximately 1,300 major weapon systems.
