obust. operationally realistic VSIM is critical to performing IOT&E of JSF, as required by the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP). • The program office and contractor team have begun work on the simulation for Block 2 capability needed for the OT-2F operational utility evaluation, and are beginning to focus on the process and data requirements to validate installed F-35 performance in the simulation. This critical work needs to be carefully resourced and coordinated, and should be subject to independent review. • The JSF VSIM developed for IOT&E will have significant utility for development and testing of upgrades to aircraft capabilities beyond Block 3 occurring well after IOT&E is complete. The JSF Program Office Sufficiency Review determined a path for completing the simulation for Block 3 IOT&E within the baseline budget adjustment made in the Nunn-McCurdy certified program. Challenges remain in identifying and collecting the needed validation data for F-35 installed performance and completing the battlespace envtronment. Training The Integrated Training Center made significant progress in preparation for receiving aircraft, support systems, and personnel. The development of the syllabi and training devices proceeded essentially on the pace planned in FY I0. However. the adequacy of the training system for the Integrated Training Center requires reassessment. Users have expressed concerns about the adequacy of course content and its allocation between training venues, such as the self-paced computer-based lessons, electronically mediated instructor lectures. desktop Pilot Training Aid. training events conducted in the cockpit simulators. and on/ in-aircraft training. • The slower than planned pace of mission systems software development and significant aircraft operating limitations affect readiness to begin formal training, which is not likely to occur in mid-2011 as planned. The JOTT operational assessment of the intended training system and its planned products requested by the PEO will provide an independent identification of issues, and progress towards resolution. The effects of immature aircraft and support systems, along with. 18 F-3 5 BF user concerns about adequacy of training venues for intended uses, will be key aspects of this assessment. Live Fire Test and Evaluation • The OBIGGS system fails to inert the fuel tank tillage spaces throughout the combat flight envelopes evaluated. Recommendations • Status of Previous Recommendations. The program and Services are satisfactorily addressing four of eight previous recommendations. The remaining four recommendations concerning adequate flight test resourcing, coordinating expected level of low-rate initial production capability with users including the JOTT, accreditation of models used as test venues, and restoring the means to minimize fueldraulics leaks and coolant shutoff valves are outstanding, • FY 10 Recommendations. The program should; I. Assure the re-planned detailed mission systems development schedule and detailed flight test schedule are realistic. I, Annually evaluate flight test progress against planned performance, assess resources, and recommend adjustment of Service early fielding goals. Remain prepared to deal with continued discovery in flight test as more complex testing begins. 3. Determine the impact of resolution of known critical technical issues, including Helmet Mounted Display, STOVL mechanization, handling characteristics, and afterburner "screech" on plans for flight test and fielding capability. 4. Assure that there is explicit use of F-35 flight test for software integration before verification, 5. Finalize plans to verify and validate the mission data lo ad products through dedicated flight test. 6. Complete VSIM development for OT&E in accordance with the operational testing requirements document and TEMP. 7, Re-design the OBIGGS system to ensure that the fuel tank tillage volume oxygen concentrations are maintained below levels that sustain fire and/or explosion throughout the combat flight envelopes.
Global Combat Support System — o n (GCSS-J) Executive Summary • The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) conducted a risk assessment for each version of the software and recommended a level of test for DOME approval. Do &E approved the plan for a full operational test for Global Combat Support System Joint (GCSS-J) version 7.J.0. Because of lower risks for versions 7.1.1 and 7.1.2, DOT&E approved the plan for operational assessments based on JITC's observation of the developmental tests conducted by the program manager. • The latest version, 7.1.2, is operationally effective and operationally suitable, The application is survivable against cyber attacks- The primary host server site. however. did not meet the required level of cyber attack detection measures. System • The GCSS-J is a web portal that enables users at combatant commands and joint task forces to access joint logistics applications. • The system supports planning, execution, and control for engineering, health services, logistics services. supply, distribution, and maintenance operations- It is comprised of strategic servers (located in Montgomery, Alabama, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii). a commercial otT-the-shelf-based infrastructure, and Public Key Infrastructure- • GCSS-J supports the situational awareness of the military operators by providing applications for the following. : search query, and reports capability: Watchboard (allowing rapid comparison of planned actions with actual events): electronic bankbook (organizing tiles and web pages into categories): knowledge management: business intelligence: mapping capability: joint engineer planning: and execution capability. • GCSS-J Increment 7 follows an agile acquisition strategy that supports multiple releases of the updated software in coordination with the user, program manager. and testers- In 2010. the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) released three versions of GC SS-J: 7.1.0, 7-l.1. and 7.l.2. Mission • Joint commanders use GCSS-J to move and sustain joint forces throughout, the entire spectrum of military operations. Activity • JITC conducted a risk assessment for each version of the software and recommended a level of test for DOT&E approval. DOT&E approved the plan for a lull operational test for version 7,1.0. Because of lower risks for versions 7.1.1 and 7,J,2.
