Dec. 14, 2015, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. The F-35 is being adopted internationally by eight partner
nations, including Norway, Italy and Australia. WASHINGTON — The program executive officer of the F-35
Lightning II aircra program said the rapidly changing, growing and
accelerating program is at a “pivot point” as o cials address a number
of challenges.

e F-35 program, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter program,
is of vital importance to U.S. security, Lt. Gen. Christopher C. Bogdan
told the Senate Armed Services Committee during an April 26 hearing
on the program.

Progress is being made, he said, noting development and ight tests
will nish in late 2017. E orts will then transition to a “leaner, more
e cient follow-on modernization program,” the general added.

Production will grow from delivering 45 aircra in 2015 to deliver-
ing more than 100 airplanes in 2018, and up to 145 by 2020, he said. In
addition, in the next four years, the program will continue a standup
of 17 new operating F-35 bases across the world.

“However, the program is not without risks and challenges, as these
come with any program of this size and complexity,” Bogdan said. “But
I’m con dent the current risks and issues we face can be resolved, and
we’ll be able to overcome future problems and deliver the F-35’s full
combat capability.”
