As the F-35 address some challenges, but without more comprehensive plans and aligned program approaches full-rate funding, DOD risks being unable to fully leverage the F-35’s capabilities and production, DOD is working to deliver sustain a rapidly expanding fleet. an affordable sustainment strategy that is able to meet the needs of the military Table: Key Department of Defense (DOD) Challenges for F-35 Aircraft Sustainment services.
