DESCRIPTION

The Italians have made significant, long-term commitments to the JSF program. They accepted the challenge; more importantly they acknowledge it as a challenge. And are doing everything they can to lean forward as a country, both industry and government, to make both Italy and more importantly the JSF program successful. SLD: Because the F-35 is a global program, what might be the impact of the Italian effort on others? White: Japan is looking seriously at the Italian model and the possibility of setting up a FACO in Japan. They have already visited Italy to look at the approach and to think about a similar site in Japan.

The Italian FACO Facility for the F-‐35

Basic Capabili;es and the Approach

Baseline Considera;ons

•  Establish in a Three Year Time Frame, a FACO Standup Capability;

•  To do so requires: –  An integrated set of processes, people, knowledge, informa;on, infrastructures, tooling and produc;on equipment

•  Objec;ves: – Modern energy efficient, state of the art facility –  Enclosed in Air Force installa;on for enhanced security

•  Co-‐located with current MRO&U center of excellence for Italian na;onal fighter fleet (Typhoon, Tornado)

Objec;ves of FACO •  Sized and equipped to achieve a full rate of 24 aircraX /year within 3 years (2016) to accommodate ITALY + NETHERLANDS deliveries

•  FACO Capability Stand-‐Up: –  Same produc;on standard and security level as required by the F-‐35 Program for deliveries by LM Fort Worth

–  Built-‐in provisions for transi;oning to aircraX MRO&U center

–  Following Stand-‐Up, Alenia performs aircraX assembly / check out under separate subcontract from Lockheed Mar;n (LRIP + MYP)
