## What project 673509 buys

The F-35 Software Development, Security & Operations (DevSecOps) Cloud platform environment allows for US Government and contracted software development teams to produce, test and deploy capabilities for F-35 supported Project Management Offices (PMO) and Directorates. This includes providing support to the Combat Data Systems (CDS), Air Vehicle (AV), Maintenance Systems (MxSYS), Propulsion, Training Systems and Simulation (TSS) PMOs, and Directorate of Engineering. The mission of DevSecOps is to provide a centralized F-35 Data repository, a consolidated F-35 software development environment, and support for system development lifecycle (SDLC) of the F-35 platform, allowing for rapid release cycles to keep the F-35 ahead of its adversaries. Investment in, and modernization of, DevSecOps include efforts to support F-35 Software modernization efforts, develop organic government software capabilities, support SDLC and flight-testing capabilities, enhance the security posture of the software development pipeline, and support goals of reducing long-term on-premises infrastructure environments cost, ultimately resulting in reducing fleet delivery timelines. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F. Funding allocations at the project level have historically been subject to change due to the complexity of the F-35 budget structure and cost share ratios. The program will ensure any within-PE adjustments during execution year are reflected in future budget submissions.

**R-3 lines of work:** Support.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
