<\/div>\n

British F-35Bs deploying to the South China Sea next year may not meet key reliability metrics set by an American government watchdog, its annual report has revealed.<\/p>\n

The US Department of Defense’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOTE) warned that the multinational F-35B fighter jet fleet is lagging behind a key flight-hours metric needed to show maintenance maturity.<\/p>\n

On top of that, the supersonic stealth jet project’s move towards Agile methodology for “minimum viable product” (MVP)-phased development of critical flight and weapons software every six months is a “high risk” strategy, according to DOTE.<\/p>\n

The F-35B fleet worldwide needs to rack up 75,000 flight hours before DOTE thinks it has gathered enough data to meet the contract spec. Currently the B model has just 45,000 hours across the board \u2013 and with HMS Queen Elizabeth<\/em> due to deploy to the Pacific next year with two squadrons of F-35Bs aboard, this could mean the aircraft carrier will set sail with jets that haven’t met their required reliability standard. So far the B fleet is unable to meet its target of flying for 12 hours or more between critical failures.<\/p>\n

Software development processes used to build F-35 software also fall under DOTE’s remit, and the auditor is not impressed by what it saw.<\/p>\n

In its report<\/a> (PDF, 14 pages), DOTE said it “assesses the MVP and ‘agile’ process as high risk due to limited time to evaluate representative IDT\/OT data before fielding the software,” adding:<\/p>\n

\n

Testing will not be able to fully assess fielding configuration of the integrated aircraft, software, weapons, mission data, and ALIS capabilities prior to fielding. The aggressive 6-month development and fielding cycle limits time for adequate regression testing and has resulted in significant problems being discovered in the field.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ALIS is the F-35’s notorious maintenance software<\/a>. Last seen on El Reg<\/em> having been given Internet Explorer 11 compatibility two years ago<\/a>, we now learn from DOTE that version 3.6, which was intended to be the Windows 10-compatible version with “cybersecurity improvements” will now no longer be developed. Instead the F-35 Joint Project Office, the US military unit in charge of F-35 development, “announced it plans to release capabilities via smaller, more frequent service pack updates.”<\/p>\n

This, wailed DOTE, “increases timeline uncertainty and schedule risk for corrections to ALIS deficiencies, particularly those associated with cybersecurity and deploying Windows 10.”<\/p>\n

Comically, the F-35 JPO has also drunk the DevOps Kool-Aid for these ALIS service packs \u2013 giving it the genuine codename “Mad Hatter”. DOTE appeared unsure whether Mad Hatter was DevOps-based or agile, however, commenting: “It is unclear that new approaches, such as ALIS NEXT and ‘Mad Hatter’ will sufficiently improve ALIS, or if more resources are needed.”<\/p>\n

ALIS NEXT is an insourcing of ALIS by the US government, which plans to stick it on a public-sector-owned cloud in addition to having local deployments following F-35 squadrons around with large numbers of servers in tow.<\/p>\n

Infosec? Config confusion? Meh<\/span><\/h3>\n

Concerningly for the main F-35 programme, cybersecurity requirements laid down by DOTE still have not been met. Despite previous years’ reports stating that Lockheed Martin (builder of the F-35) and the US government alike needed to sharpen up, DOTE said: “Cybersecurity testing to date during [initial testing<\/em>] continued to demonstrate that vulnerabilities identified during earlier testing periods still have not been remedied.”<\/p>\n

On top of that, an increasing number of deployed software versions and hardware (as in onboard computer) configurations pose a potential threat to reliability. Block 3F is the current main build of F-35 onboard software, with Block 4 being the next scheduled major release, though earlier versions of Block 3 are still in use.<\/p>\n

Warning of the problems in store, DOTE said: “These configurations include the fielded TR-2 processors and [EW, electronic warfare; i.e. radar jamming] system for Block 3F, new EW equipment in Lot 11 and later aircraft, an improved display processor that may be added to TR-2, new TR-3 open-architecture processors to enable Block 4 capabilities and other avionics for later increments in Block 4. Adequate plans for supporting all these configurations do not appear to be in place.”<\/p>\n

The F-35B continues to be the only modern fighter jet capable of operating from Britain’s two new aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth<\/em> and HMS Prince of Wales<\/em>. \u00ae<\/p>\n
