## What project 676011 buys

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Operational Requirements Document (ORD) calls for the F-35A variant to have the capabilities and provisions for Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA) operations in the first post System Development and Demonstration (SDD) block upgrade. DCA refers to the capability to carry and deliver conventional and non-conventional weapons. DCA operation for the F-35A is internal carriage of up to two (2) B61-12 weapons.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.
