The squadron has 30 jets on charge: 19 American and 11 British. As <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/03\/22\/f_35b_block_4_upgrades_cost_uk_345m\/\">previously reported<\/a>, Britain&#8217;s full fleet of 15 (some are based elsewhere in the US) F-35Bs is costing us around \u00a3345m \u2013 an average across the fleet of \u00a323m <em>per aircraft<\/em> &#8211; to upgrade their onboard software to the latest version, Block 4. The current price for British F-35Bs is somewhere around \u00a385m, if statements made by Lockheed to <em>El Reg<\/em> earlier this year still hold true.<\/p>\n<p>The UK has signed contracts to buy 48 F-35Bs so far, <em>The Register<\/em> understands, and made public commitments to acquire 138 jets in total. Some of these may be the F-35A model, which cannot fly from aircraft carriers as the B model will be required to do.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to point out that spare part shortages are ultimately down to the number ordered by governments buying the F-35, the numbers made by Lockheed in response to those orders and the speed at which spares are delivered to government holding depots. ALIS returning delivery times measured in years is a symptom rather than a cause.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, American maintainers appear unhappy with the basic speed of use of ALIS. The ever-talkative Pedro told Defense News about an apparent bottleneck centred on the ratio of ALIS servers to jets at any particular location. Broadly, it appears from his comments that too many jets to servers results in the system at that location becoming noticeably slow.<\/p>\n<p>As <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2017\/01\/12\/f35_alis_software_delayed\/\">previously reported<\/a>, ALIS and its customised Panasonic Toughbooks have been giving the US <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/01\/30\/f35_dote_report_software_snafus\/\">quite a few headaches over its prolonged dev cycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Britain&#8217;s first owned-and-operated F-35Bs are due to arrive at RAF Marham in Norfolk next week, following a ferry flight across the Atlantic where the jets will be refuelled in flight by the RAF&#8217;s converted A330 Voyager tankers. \u00ae<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>*Bootnotes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The site said it agreed not to publish his surname over &#8220;security&#8221; concerns \u2013 presumably his own personal security in case angry senior officers want to &#8220;have a word&#8221; with him.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, US aero-engine firm Pratt &amp; Whitney has been <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/pratt--whitney-and-f-35-program-office-announce-contract-award-for-135-f135-engines-300657797.html\">handed a contract<\/a> to build 135 of its F135 engines for the F-35 fleet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/tl\/1759\/shttp:\/\/www.mcubed.london\/\">Minds Mastering Machines &#8211; Call for papers now open<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"http:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/06\/01\/f35_alis_woes_usmc_beaufort\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALIS logistics software woes continue at US-UK training unit Delayed upgrades to F-35 fighter jets along with bespoke logistics software that displays spare part lead times in years are keeping some aircraft grounded, according to a report from the US air force station where the core of Britain&#8217;s future F-35 operators are being trained.\u2026  READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-register"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Your F-35s need spare bits?
