Gen. Eric Fick<\/a>, F-35 program executive officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespite all the positive activities, we underestimated the complexity of deprecating ALIS capabilities while migrating to ODIN and learned several important lessons,\u201d Fick said in April 22 testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, ALIS has ranked as one of the F-35 enterprise\u2019s biggest headaches. The Government Accountability Office has repeatedly documented problems, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2020\/03\/16\/congressional-watchdog-skeptical-on-new-f-35-logistics-system\/\" target=_blank>a bulky \u201cdeployable\u201d version of ALIS<\/a> that cannot connect to the internet or incorrectly signaling to maintainers that a plane is not mission capable due to incorrect data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to continue to improve the functionality of ALIS in the near term, as we ensure that the ODIN structure that we put into place, from a hardware perspective, from a data environment perspective, and from a software perspective, is what the users need,\u201d Fick told lawmakers during the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late 2020, the program office developed an ODIN user agreement and capability needs statement, which lays out what tasks ODIN needs to be able to accomplish and how the system should function, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, \u201cThe JPO and Lockheed Martin established a contract that captured data rights, frequent software deliveries, and proper data marking for modern software development,\u201d Fick stated in testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fick\u2019s testimony did not address when the program office intends to restart ODIN software development efforts, saying only that the JPO will update its plan based on available funding, inputs from the services and its finalized strategy for migrating from ALIS to ODIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, ODIN hardware development is moving forward. Lockheed delivered the first hardware kit for testing at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe new kit is 75 percent smaller, weighs 90 percent less than the current hardware, and is projected to be 30 percent cheaper. In addition to the smaller footprint, we are seeing significant performance improvements in ALIS such as data processing and synchronization times 2-3 times faster than ever seen before,\u201d Fick wrote in testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program office plans to roll out additional kits this summer, which will save money by being able to host multiple squadrons on a single unit, Fick said. The Defense Department plans to invest $471 million into both ALIS and ODIN over the next five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defense Department underestimated the
