F35The F-35 Joint Program Office aims to increase competition for work to build new training and simulation systems for the fighter program, Defense News reported Thursday.

Aaron Mehta writes Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, the F-35 JPO’s executive officer, said the office could seek competitive bids on the Deployable Mission Rehearsal Trainer development contract.

“I think that is an area in training where we are going to look to do something different in the future,” Bogdan told Defense News in an interview.

He believes industry could offer technology platforms that can improve the design, graphics and security features of the existing F-35 simulator.

The JPO has developed an aircraft sustainment plan to give U.S. partner nations a chance to win contracts to maintain F-35 components, according to the publication.

“We are having the partners determine how much of their industry and other industry wants to get involved in that,” Bogdan added, according to Mehta’s article.
