The Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTECH), a direct reporting unit of the United States Air Force at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., will soon certify the OUE is complete.
Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II is reportedly "the world’s only international 5thGeneration multirole fighter."
Lockheed Martin officials credit the F-35's advanced avionics with providing pilots "real-time access to battle space information with spherical coverage and an unparalleled ability to dominate the tactical environment. Data collected by F-35 sensors can be immediately shared with commanders at sea, in the air, or on the ground."
Lockheed Martin's partners on the F-35 include:
Northrop Grumman
BAE Systems
Pratt & Whitney
