Lockheed Martin has completed the first flight readiness review for the X-35A conventional take-off and landing variant of its Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) concept demonstrator. The aircraft is expected to fly at Palmdale, California, in June/July. The Lockheed Martin JSF team has begun testing its prototype multisensor avionics in the Cooperative Avionics Test Bed, a modified BAC One-Eleven with Northrop Grumman's multimode active-array radar and distributed infrared sensor system, Kaiser helmet-mounted display and Lockheed Martin core processor.
