'F-35 Joint Strike Fighter; Program Continues To Encounter Production Issues And Modernization Delays' - U.S. Government Accountability Office
After nearly 20 years, the F-35 program moved into full-rate production after conducting its final simulated tests. At this milestone, DOD determined that the F-35 demonstrated an acceptable level of performance and reliability and could be manufactured faster.
近20年後，F-35計劃在進行了最後的模擬測試後進入了全速生產。在這個里程碑上，國防部確定F-35表現出可接受的性能和可靠性水平，並且可以更快地製造。
However, contractors continue to deliver engines and aircraft late—a trend that has worsened in the last few years. The program also faces delays in updating the aircraft's software and has been slow to modernize the engine and other aircraft components.
但是，承包商繼續延遲交付發動機和飛機，這種趨勢在過去幾年中有所惡化。該計劃在更新飛機軟件方面也面臨延遲，發動機和其他飛機部件的現代化進展緩慢。
We previously made recommendations to help the F-35 program address these challenges, but DOD has only implemented some of them.
我們之前曾提出過幫助F-35計劃應對這些挑戰的建議，但國防部只實施了其中的一些建議。
