The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of creating a software-based mission data file (MDF) multisource data fusion, tools integration and workflow orchestration solution for F-35 Lightning II, in a new paradigm to drastically improve the agility, flexibility, productivity and ease-of-use of the end-to-end MDF Life-cycle Management in supporting of F-35 missions. This intelligence software solution brings a next-generation visual orchestration fabric to rapidly integrate, fuse and orchestrate across multiple disparate data, tools, systems, analytics, process and people/teams together by leveraging a flow-based graph paradigm without the need of writing code or script anymore for the lion share of such tasks. They become so much easier, faster and agile to develop, simulate, debug, validate and (re)-deploy in a DevOp environment. The architecture is very open and extensible that is data-driven, modular and micro-services based. This technology can address a major pain point facing F-35 Lightning II MDF lifecycle management: How to streamline and scale across Intel gathering, sensor engineering, modeling and simulation, testing and evaluation, deployment, and post-delivery support, across 50+ disparate tools? It has a big potential to serve as an agile orchestration backbone layer for F-35 JRE future state ecosystem’s digital integration and synchronization.
