 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. The Office of Naval Research or ONR received the DOD's Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award December 2nd at the Defense Manufacturing Conference in San Diego. ONR developed an innovative, cost-saving method for making advanced cockpit enclosures or canopies for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. The Joint Strike Fighter program is developing the next generation of affordable, lethal strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The F-35's canopy has a unique shape and specialized material that is on the cutting edge of aircraft design. Less time and tools are required to build these new canopies. This new process aligns with the CNO's navigation plan by sustaining our warfighting capability and ability to operate forward through timely modernization. For more news from ONR visit their website.
