Title: Leadership
The vision of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program is to "deliver and sustain the most advanced, affordable strike fighter aircraft to protect future generations worldwide."

The cornerstone of the JSF Program is affordability: reducing the development cost, production cost, and cost of ownership. The program was structured from the beginning to be a model of acquisition reform, with an emphasis on jointness, technology maturation, and concept demonstrations, and early cost-performance trades integral to the weapon system requirements definition process.

The F-35 Lightning II Program is a joint program with no lead service, staffed by Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps personnel. The Program Executive Officer position alternates between the Departments of Navy and Air Force, and reports to the Service Acquisition Executive (SAE) of the other service. The current Program Executive Officer is U.S. Air Force Major General, Charles R. Davis.
