The assessment, which is part of the Pentagon’s annual report, said that the aircraft operators “identified deficiencies in weapons, fusion, communications and navigation, cybersecurity and targeting processes that required software modification and additional time and resources, which caused delays”
......
The Lockheed Martin F-35 incorporates over 8 million lines of computer code. Software required to enhance its capabilities has been plagued by issues since upgrades began in 2020.
......
The assessment supervised by new DoD testing director Nickolas Guertin made a scathing remark, saying that despite the fact that the upgrade effort was based around commercial “agile software” concepts, the program office “does not adhere to published best practices” and has “consistently failed to provide the capabilities specified in their master schedule”.
It further claimed that the program has not appropriately financed teams to “adequately test, analyze data, or do comprehensive” check-up analysis “to ensure that unintentional defects are not embedded in the software prior to delivery.”
......
Last year, it was reported that the F-35 fighter jet is still plagued by 871 software and hardware flaws that could jeopardize readiness, missions, or maintenance.
The Defense Department’s costliest weapons system “continues to carry a large number of deficiencies, many of which were identified prior to” the development and demonstration phase, which ended in April 2018 with 941 flaws, Robert Behler, the director of operational testing said at that time.
Behler stated last year that “the overall number of open deficiencies has not changed significantly since early 2018” due to “ongoing problems with initial software quality” in Block 4 and “limited lab and flight test capability, resulting in a high rate of problem discoveries” in testing and in the field.
