Keynote Address - Global Integration and Management of 21st Century Fighters
Dr. Mike Jahadi
Senior Manager of CAD/CAM Integration & Strategic Planning
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company
Dr. Jahadi will present the JSF challenges with Global Collaboration in the 21st Century. He will discuss the approach to methodology, customizations, training, deployment, and review lessons learned.
Dr. Jahadi’s discussion will cover methodology to establish open communication to ensure interoperability in order to minimize the impact on the infrastructure.
With Partners spread around the world, the JSF program depends on the successful deployment of a Virtual Enterprise Infrastructure to enable the multi-company product development environment and multi-company operations. A reliable and capable information technology infrastructure is an essential contributing ingredient to the program’s success. The JSF program will rely on computer-based tools and processes, demanding a system architecture that provides immediate access to information ranging across the entire product structure. The Virtual Enterprise Infrastructure must enable the common processes by providing a network architecture that supports data management and access using integrated common tools across the enterprise.
