The F-35 Joint Reprogramming Enterprise (JRE) is tasked with providing hardware and software used to develop Mission Data Files. Mission Data Files enhance the pilot-vehicle interface, update threat parametric data with intelligence information, and enable operational functions that affect mission employment. The F-35 JPO is looking for innovative software technologies, compatible with existing containerized development pipelines and software product, that will increase the efficiency of software and mission data file development.
