DOT&E won’t approve F-35 Test and Evaluation Master Plan

Director of Operational Test & Evaluation, Dr. J. Michael Gilmore, wrote in a memo to Pentagon officials that he will not approve the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) for the F-35 unless changes are made.

Gilmore wants the program office to explain how it will test the JSF’s electronic warfare capability and he is concern with the “overlap of developmental testing with the start of operational test activity.”
