Abstract
With the strike fighter (JSF) program underway, many new airborne products will have to be tested and maintained for the next few decades. The JSF, also known as the F-35 Lightning II, is the future fighter aircraft for the U.S. armed forces and our allies. The term joint indicates that there are many users for this fighter aircraft and in this case, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, and international customers (jointly referred to as JSF users). The tester selected by the JSF users to be the standard platform for manufacturing, ESS (environmental stress screening) and depot-level testing is the Lockheed Martin LM-STAR test set. LM STAR is an open-architecture test set with most of the test set's components being commercial off the shelf (COTS) products. Using COTS products helps reduce up-front and maintenance costs and simplifies the development process. The test set platform is only the beginning and hundreds of test program sets (TPSs) will be developed for the LM STAR in the next decade to support the 3000+ aircraft deployed by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marines, and our allies.
