Lt. Gen. Eric Fick, F-35 Lightning II Joint Program

Lt. Gen. Eric Fick, F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Executive Officer, presents Ms. Megan Grunst with an aircraft replica during an award ceremony at program headquarters in Arlington, Va. The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity and range, the F-35 is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
