The F-35 Cockpit: Enabling the Pilot as a Tactical Decision MakerDr. Michael L. Skaff created this briefing. Skaff described his background in a recent interview as follows:I was an F-16 pilot out of the Air Force Academy. I was prior enlisted, and I’ve been with Lockheed Martin for about 23 years working on the F-35 cockpit since ’95. I flew out of MacDill, Shaw, and Luke during the Cold War.For a full discussion with Skaff regarding the baseline F-35 please seehttp://www.sldinfo.com/understanding-the-basic-f-35-what-is-in-the-baseline-aircraft/

Maximized Accommodation For Higher Utility & Safety• Active Inceptors• Compound Rudder Adjustment• Data Bus Communication for Ejection Seat• Tilting Seat (adjustment Limited for ejection
safety)
Wide FOV HMD w/ Virtual HUD Spherical IR & low light Imagery to Improve SA in All Weather and Night Operations
Integrated Life Support System
Novel STOVL Controls Reduce Training Requirements Provides Controllability with Fewer Inceptors
8- by 20-inch Contiguous Display with Portal Formatting Concept to Improve Information Cognition, System Control, and Flexibility
Stereo Audio & Voice Control Increase Information Quantity and Quality While Decreasing Pilot Workload
Next-Generation Escape System • Auto-ejection
New Technologies and an Innovative Approach to Pilot Vehicle Interface Produce a Capable and Flexible Cockpit

Cockpit Philosophy
• Let the Pilot be the Tactician By
– Managing Workload• Automation Of Tasks• Let Computers Do What Computers Do Best• Let the Pilot Do What Pilots Do Best
– Providing Tools That Build And Maintain Situation Awareness (SA) pursuant to Information Dominance
• Concise Information• Timely Information• Quickly Interpreted Information
• Realize That All Design Efforts Are Based On Combat Value Added:
The Requirement is to IncreaseLethality and Survivability Beyond that of Current Aircraft
