F-35
Type: system
Definition
The F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter) is a Department of Defense-led program and aircraft family developed to provide a next-generation, multi-role strike fighter in three closely related variants for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, with a strong emphasis on common design across the variants to improve affordability and supportability. In its foundational concept, the F-35/JSF was intended to replace portions of several legacy tactical aircraft fleets by combining low-observable (stealth) features with advanced sensors and networked mission systems to conduct a wide range of combat missions in contested environments.
