By National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Committee on the Study of Live Fire Survivability Testing of the F-22 Aircraft

The reside hearth try legislation mandates sensible survivability and lethality trying out of lined platforms or courses. A provision of the legislation allows the Secretary of security to waive checks if stay fireplace trying out will be "unreasonably pricey and impractical." even though no waiver was once asked earlier than the F-22 application entered engineering and production improvement, the safeguard division later requested that Congress enact laws to allow a waiver to be granted retroactively. instead of enact such laws, Congress asked a learn to discover the professionals and cons of full-scale, full-up checking out for the F-22 airplane software. The publication discusses the foundation of trying out standards, evaluates the practicality, affordability, and cost-benefit of stay hearth assessments, and examines the position of checking out, modeling, and information bases in vulnerability review.

Testing of its large assemblies could also verify techniques for repairing battle damage to the F-22's new composite materials and systems. Vulnerability Assessment Tools To be successful, vulnerability assessment requires much mutual support between documentation, data bases, models, and testing. , documentation, data bases, and models) that complement live fire testing. Specific conclusions and recommendations relating to these tools are provided below. Conclusions and Recommendations The committee's major conclusions and recommendations follow.

At the early meetings and on other occasions, the members were briefed by representatives of the Air Force, Navy, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and other government and industry officials on matters relating to the F-22 program and live fire testing. ) Many relevant documents from various agencies were also received. (Footnote continued from previous page) specific case of the F-22. Excerpts from and references to the previous report appear extensively in this report. 3 Full-scale, full-up testing would subject an F-22 to live fire in its combat configuration, including on-board ordnance and fuel.

Recommendation 4h. Fund the proposed Joint Live Fire testing of F119 engine components to alleviate the paucity of testing against those components. Recommendation 4i. Emphasize continuing efforts by the F-22 System Program Office and the Joint Technical Coordinating Group on Aircraft Survivability to develop improved methodologies for reducing flight crew vulnerability. Recommendation 4j. Use the prototype air vehicle fuselage in Test 6A in lieu of a mock-up. ) In addition, the committee recommends that the Air Force begin planning for expeditious vulnerability assessment testing of the F-22 similar to that being conducted or planned for variants of the Navy's F-18.
