A -- F120 ENGINE INTEGRATION AND ENGINE INTERCHANGEABILITY STUDIES POC Pam Valovcin, ValovcinPM@jast.mil; Kathy Cooper, CooperK@jast.mil WEB: Joint Strike Fighter Home Page, http://www.jast.mil. E-MAIL: http://www.jast.mil, http://www.jast.mil. The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program office intends to modify the JSF Concept Development Program Contracts Nos. N00019-97-C-0037 and N00019-97-C-0038, which were competetively awarded to The Boeing Company, Information, Space & Defense Systems, P.O. Box 3707, Mail Stop 4C-80, Seattle, WA 98124-2207 and Lockheed Martin Corporation, Tactical Aircraft Systems, P.O. Box 748, Fort Worth, TX 76101, respectively. These modifications are necessary in order to facilitate the defining and reconciliation of the Preferred Weapon System Concept (PWSC) propulsion system, the EMD development program, and the EMD business approach. Specifically, these modifications will define how the P&W F119 and the GEAE F120 engines will be developed to seamlessly interface with a set of common lift and exhaust system components and support system. The JSF contractors are the only responsible sources capable of supporting this requirement. Any programmatic questions should be addressed to Major Paul Waugh at WaughPC@jast.mil. Contractual questions should be addressed to Ms. Pam Valovcin at ValovcinPM@jast.mil or Ms. Kathy Cooper at CooperK@jast.mil. See Note 22. NAVAIR Synopsis No. 20108-99 Posted 04/28/99 (W-SN325222).
