A schedule doesn't mean the product works

Keep schedule. No matter if what is certified as good-to-go is a lie.

[Reuters] – Lockheed Martin Corp said on Monday it is working to resolve “relatively minor” issues with a portable version of the F-35 fighter jet’s automated logistics system, but the problems should not impede a Marine Corp milestone this summer. Jeff Streznetcky, the Lockheed executive in charge of the logistics system known as ALIS, told Reuters the company was working closely with the Pentagon’s F-35 program office to fix the software that runs the new version of ALIS. Lockheed is scrambling to complete a smaller, lighter version of the F-35’s complex Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), ahead of July, when the Marine Corps plans to declare an initial squadron of 10 F-35s ready for combat use.
