	Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Analysis 2002
		If the Joint Strike Fighter were to be too snappy a performer in the air superiority game, the F-22 would have been promptly axed thereby shifting USD 20B or more of production costs back by at least a decade much to the delight of vote buyers in the US Congress.
		Fighter combat radius and endurance over the target are not issues when the geographical environment puts the two largest military forces on the planet head-to-head across a single frontier.
		Given that the maritime users of the Joint Strike Fighter do not have an F-22 equivalent to gain the high ground in an air battle, it is not inconceivable that we might see downstream disagreements in the Joint Strike Fighter program as these players try to fill this crucial gap in their basic capabilities.

	F-35 Joint Strike Fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is to be a multirole strike fighter (a plane with a strong emphasis on close air support and tactical bombing as well as air-to-air combat) currently in early development by Lockheed Martin with partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.
		The Joint Strike Fighter was scheduled to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II in the USAF in 2008 (but the USAF opted to keep the A10 in service till 2028).
		The JSF is a multi-role attack and fighter aircraft designed to replace the aging F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-111 Aardvark, Sea Harrier, Harrier GR7/GR9, and AV-8B Harrier jets.

	Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
		The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is a multi-role fighter optimized for the air-to-ground role, designed to affordably meet the needs of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allies, with improved survivability, precision engagement capability, the mobility necessary for future joint operations and the reduced life cycle costs associated with tomorrow’s fiscal environment.
		JSF’s integrated avionics and stealth are intended to allow it to penetrate surface-to-air missile defenses to destroy targets, when enabled by the F-22’s air dominance.
		JSF requirements definition efforts are based on the principles of Cost as an Independent Variable: Early interaction between the warfighter and developer ensures cost / performance trades are made early, when they can most influence weapon system cost.

	The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
		The STOVL version of the McDonnell Douglas JSF proposal featured a main engine with side nozzles under the rear fuselage that could be opened to provide vertical thrust, as well as a vectored exhaust that could be rotated 20 degrees in any direction, both to assist in short takeoffs and for enhanced flight maneuverability.
		Boeing, which had not developed an operational fighter since the P-26 Peashooter of the 1930s, chose an unusual (unkindly described by some as "butt-ugly") design with smooth stealthy contours, a delta wing, a vee tail, and a scoop jet intake under the nose.
		The Lockheed-Martin JSF was a more conventional design, resembling a single-engined version of the company's F-22 Raptor, though it did have a high degree of stealthy contouring as well.

		The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is the U.S. military's fifth-generation fighter aircraft, designed to replace the Air Force's A-10 and F-16 aircraft, the Marines' F/A-18A/D Hornet and AV-8B Harrier, The Navy's A-6 Intruder and F/A-18A/D Hornet, and the British Royal Navy's Sea Harriers and GR7s.
		The JSF will cost little more than the present-day F-16, even though it represents at least a 30% improvement in areas such as range, payload, maintenance, and stealth.
		All JSF variants will have a high degree of commonality but will also have unique technology and the capability to meet their specific requirements.

		The requirements of 1,763 strike fighters for the Air Force, 609 for the Marine Corps and 480 for the Navy have held steady since the 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review.
		Current program estimates peg the recurring JSF unit flyaway costs at $37 million for the Air Force conventional takeoff and landing variant, $46 million for the Marine Corps short takeoff vertical landing variant and $48 million for the Navy carrier version, in 2002 dollars.
		The JSF reductions, which would be split about equally between the Marine Corps STOVL and the Navy's carrier versions, would reduce JSF procurement by the Navy and Marines from 1089 aircraft to 680.

		The JSF project itself first grew out of a realisation in the US defence circles that if fighter aircraft prices grew at the then present rate, the US would only be able to afford a single aircraft in 2054.
		The JSF in service will be a supersonic stealthy strike aircraft, with the latest precision weapons, such as GPS and laser-guided bombs, as well as air-to-air missiles to engage other aircraft.
		The JSF, in US and UK service, will enhance this and enable both countries to project long-range firepower, without needing airbases in a nearby country, which are vulnerable to attack or political sensitivities.

		JSF will benefit from many of the same technologies developed for F-22 and will capitalize on commonality and modularity to maximize affordability.
		The JSF program will demonstrate two competing weapon system concepts for a tri-service family of aircraft to affordably meet these service needs: USAF-Multi-role aircraft (primarily air-to-ground) to replace F-16 and A-10 and to complement F-22.
		USN -Multi-role, stealthy strike fighter to complement F/A-18E/F. Carrier operations account for most of the differences between the Navy version and the other JSF variants.

	ANALYSIS: Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter({\relax Australian Aviation}, May/June 2002, p 28-32, p 24-27.)
		Judging from the media rhetoric in early January this year, one could almostbe forgiven for believing that the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) was the anointedreplacement for Australia's F/A-18A and F-111 fleets - no doubt to the annoyance ofmany in Defence who are immersed in the complexities of AIR 6000 capabilitiesdefinition.
		The USAF intend to use the F-35/JSF as a `one-for-one' replacement aircraft fortheir aging fleets of F-16C strike fighters and A-10A battlefield interdictors.
		The JSF is predicated upon having runways within a 400-600nautical mile class distance of intended targets, thus aligning the aircraft firmly with Cold Warperiod geographical assumptions - a precondition which may not be met in future conflicts(USAF).
