Pentagon and Lockheed Martin fight for access to F-35 data

The US Department of Defense is fighting for access to FRACAS data from a fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II fighter armed with the United States Army. This is the name of the reporting system, which reflects information regarding malfunctions of various components of the aircraft, their analysis and corrective actions.

The fighter manufacturer, the American firm Lokheed Martin, refuses to provide the Pentagon with this data, defining it as commercial information.

This publication Jane's said a former employee of the program, whose task is to manage the creation of F-35 fighters on behalf of the US Department of Defense.

The US military needs FRACAS data in order to know which components of the aircraft will not last 10 thousand hours declared by the manufacturer in the project documentation, but only five thousand hours. In particular, this applies to radars. In addition, they are interested in the behavior during operation of a number of parts of the fighter, the repair of which takes a lot of time.

Lockheed Martin considers all this information intellectual property of the manufacturer. The Pentagon disagrees with this view, arguing that trade secrets only apply to aircraft construction.

Gentlemen are supposed to take a word. Well, or as a last resort, let them swear a tooth at what ridiculous undemocratic and anti-American suspicions are. American is the best in the world ... same.

[Honest Citizen]

Well, or as a last resort, let them swear a tooth,

It was already from the Georgian diplomat: "I swear by my mother!"
Well, from our Dimarik Rogozin: "I give a tooth that 2018 will be launched from Vostochny".
So copyright is patented
Let them invent their own, you don’t use someone else’s!

What gentlemen in Papuan s with tf-u, in striped?

As in a joke: I go to a club, and there they play cards in a point. At first, that card did not go.
And then one says, "I have a point," and I show him, show him, and he
"Gentlemen believe the word"
And here I have a map as it flooded ....

I really do not understand anything in this system.

I really do not understand anything in this system.

Democracy, sir. A firm (or person) can sue the state. And even win if the pieces of paper are correctly composed. Savages, what to take from them.
In general, with the advent of programmable components and the phrase "The company reserves the right to make changes without notice," we all buy cats in a bag. Programs are "locked", their standards are a commercial secret. Who and how will change, where will be wrong - no one has the right to know. Interesting parsley.

Meanwhile, a Chinese worker engaged in the assembly of the aircraft chuckles quietly, because as soon as he knows what kind of "pig" and in what detail he put this aircraft ...

[Zhelezyakin]

Rather, he also does not know ...

Is there anti-Semitism? ))))

[g1washntwn]

On "I" electronics and software have long been kosher. But so that for their own Air Force to suspect for a twisted speedometer ... This is heresy!

Butt beautifully! We bet who will win ???

[cniza]

In my opinion, stupidity will prevail in this case ...
Greetings!

Hi
Their special services know how to twist / clamp Faberge, anyone!
There, in the Pentagon there are no suitable specialists ??? Call Lieutenant Kelly from there, let him kill the lochids-martins, he’ll shorten them ... they’ll immediately become more accommodating!

Fuck, they have commercial information is superior to defense. It turns out that the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing, and the head is completely disconnected from this.

The very meaning of the word commercial is for sale. Is not it so?

[Lord of the Sith]

The Lokhids completely surpasses the borzometer))
And what, the Pentagon can not put them in the knee-elbow position?

[Avior]

The situation is simple
If it was written in the contract to transmit such information, Lockheed will press.
If not, the Pentagon will have to pay denyushek for access.

[sledak]

That is, if as a result of the failure of any part, assembly or unit before the end of its operational life (for example, at 5000 flight hours, and not at 10000 as Lockhead guaranteed), the aircraft will lose survivability and / or will be shot down in battle and the pilot will die, then What would the Pentagon know about this and would have to roll a coin? It's funny, but let them have it.

Something is not all smooth in the mirror-looking kingdom of Lockheed. It turns out some kind of souvenir plane. And how many odes of praise were sung to him.
