italian faco for the f-35
DESCRIPTION
The Italians have made significant, long-term commitments to the JSF program. They accepted the challenge; more importantly they acknowledge it as a challenge. And are doing everything they can to lean forward as a country, both industry and government, to make both Italy and more importantly the JSF program successful. SLD: Because the F-35 is a global program, what might be the impact of the Italian effort on others? White: Japan is looking seriously at the Italian model and the possibility of setting up a FACO in Japan. They have already visited Italy to look at the approach and to think about a similar site in Japan.TRANSCRIPT

Objec;ves of FACO • Sized and equipped to achieve a full rate of 24 aircraX /year within 3 years (2016) to accommodate ITALY + NETHERLANDS deliveries
• FACO Capability Stand-‐Up: – Same produc;on standard and security level as required by the F-‐35 Program for deliveries by LM Fort Worth
– Built-‐in provisions for transi;oning to aircraX MRO&U center
– Following Stand-‐Up, Alenia performs aircraX assembly / check out under separate subcontract from Lockheed Mar;n (LRIP + MYP)
