We plan to begin the subject evaluation in September 2022. Our objective is to determine the extent to which the Air Force demonstrated that the critical technologies used in the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter aircraft were mature enough to support entry into the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase of the NGAD program's acquisition timeline. We may revise the objective as the evaluation proceeds, and we will also consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives.
