보고서에 거론된 주요 문제점은 아래와 같습니다.
전 개인적으로 F-35에 왜 헤드업디스플레이 설치 안 하는 지가 의아 하네요.
* 비행과 표적 정보를 영상으로 구현 하는 헬멧디스플레이에 여전히 결함 있다.
* 기체진단시스템이 실제론 문제 없는 파트를 문제 있다고 진단 해서 수리부서에
과중한 업무 부담을 주고 있다.
* 기밀로 분류된 중요한 기술적 결함이 AIM-120 공대공미사일 발사에 영향 주고 있다.
Why the Pentagon Isn’t Happy With the F-35
2018.01.24
The availability of the fighter jet for missions when needed -a key metric -remains
“around 50 percent, a condition that has existed with no significant improvement
since October 2014, despite the increasing number of aircraft,” Robert Behler, the
Defense Department’s new director of operational testing, said in an annual report
delivered Tuesday to senior Pentagon leaders and congressional committees.
About 1,000 unresolved deficiencies with the aircraft, the latest version of its software,
and the primary flight-maintenance system known as ALIS that’s crucial to keep the
aircraft flying “will likely have a cumulative effect” on the aircraft’s capacity during the
combat testing.
The final version of the software known as 3F is likely to have “shortfalls in the capabilities
the F-35 needs in combat against current threats.”
Aerial refueling will be restricted for the Marines’ F-35B and the Navy’s carrier-based
F-35C model.
The pilot’s helmet display that depicts vital flight and and targeting information is flawed.
Classified “key technical deficiencies” affect the firing of AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, a
nd “system-related deficiencies” mar the dropping of air-to-ground weapons to support
ground troops
It will be late 2019 before developing, testing, verifying and deployment is complete for
all the needed on-board electronic files, or “mission data loads,” that identify the types
of Chinese, Russian, Syrian or Iranian radar and air defense systems an F-35 pilot may
encounter.
The problem of planes waiting for replacement parts is exacerbated by an immature
diagnostic system that detects “failures” that “actually have not failed.” The misdiagnosed
parts are sent back to the original manufacturer then “returned to the supply chain,”
adding to the backlog in “an already overloaded repair system.”
