g. The F–35 Autonomic Logistics and
Global Support (ALGS) includes both
Secret and Unclassified elements. It
provides a fully integrated logistics
management solution. ALGS integrates a
number of functional areas, including
supply chain management, repair,
support equipment, engine support, and
training. The ALGS infrastructure

system that provides real-time, decisionworthy information for sustainment
decisions by flight line personnel.
Prognostic health monitoring
technology is integrated with the air
system and is crucial to the predictive
maintenance of vital components.
h. The F–35 Autonomic Logistics
Information System (ALIS) includes
both Secret and Unclassified elements.
The ALIS provides an intelligent

of the key concepts of ALGS into an
effective support system. ALIS
establishes the appropriate interfaces
among the F–35 Air Vehicle, the
warfighter, the training system,
government information technology (IT)
systems, JSF operations, and supporting
commercial enterprise systems.
Additionally, ALIS provides a

Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT),
Ejection System Maintenance Trainer
(ESMT), and Weapons Loading Trainer
(WLT). The F–35 Training System can
be integrated, where both pilots and
maintainers learn in the same Integrated
Training Center (ITC). Alternatively, the
pilots and maintainers can train in
separate facilities (Pilot Training Center
and Maintenance Training Center).

provides a fully sunlight readable, biocular display presentation of aircraft
information projected onto the pilot’s
helmet visor. The use of a night vision
camera integrated into the helmet
eliminates the need for separate Night
Vision Goggles (NVG). The camera
video is integrated with EO and IR
imaging inputs and displayed on the
pilot’s visor to provide a comprehensive
night operational capability.
(4) The Pilot Life Support System is
Secret and contains technology
representing the latest state-of-the-art in
several areas. Information on

(object code) is Secret. Sensitive
elements include: A measure of Pilot
Chemical, Biological, and Radiological
Protection through use of On Board
Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS);
and an escape system that provides
additional protection to the pilot.
OBOGS takes the Power and Thermal
Management System (PTMS) air and
enriches it by removing gases (mainly
nitrogen) by adsorption, thereby
increasing the concentration of oxygen
in the product gas and supplying
breathable air to the pilot.
(5) The Off-Board Mission Support
System is Secret and contains
technology representing the latest stateof-the-art in several areas. Information
on performance and inherent
vulnerabilities is Secret. Software
(object code) is Secret. Sensitive
elements include: Mission planning,
mission briefing, maintenance/
intelligence/tactical debriefing, sensor/
algorithm planning, EW system
reprogramming, data debrief, etc.
1. Publications: Manuals are
considered Secret, special access
required, as they contain information on
aircraft/system performance and
inherent vulnerabilities
2. The JSF Reprogramming Center is
classified Secret and contains
technology representing the latest stateof-the-art in several areas. This
hardware/software facility provides a
means to update JSF electronic warfare
databases. Sensitive elements include:
EW software databases and tools to
modify these databases.
3. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
