Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Gregory L. Masiello has officially taken over the sprawling multiservice and multinational F-35 program. He walks into the job at what could be one of the program’s pivotal moments.
F-35 modernization
Lockheed Martin's suggestion to upgrade the F-35 with technologies developed for the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter could come in a number of areas, several of which are already in hand.
Lockheed Martin won’t protest the award of the Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter to Boeing but is instead looking to port the technologies it developed for the program to the F-35 and the F-22.
