Virtual Teamwork
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter: the most ambitious program in the aerospace military industry
By Antonello Bove
Rome, Italy & Washington, DC, USA
The skill to take control of a project frequently depends on how quickly, and in a good way, you can create a team of bright folks and groups, anywhere they might be placed. This requires experience and competence of virtual management, a new curriculum to manage projects and programs with the capability to manage multinational groups whose associates have different culture approaches.
On a large scale, a great and current example is the remarkable international team that is working in the most ambitious program in the aerospace military industry. The program’s name is F35-JSF and it stands for Joint Strike Fighter. This complex program has been developed with eight international partners – the USA (leader), the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Australia.
The Joint Strike Fighter has nothing in common with existing aircraft. It’s a program related to the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world. It flies a thousand miles an hour in a transparent bubble; each component is a leap into the future and all information is projected into the helmet screen.
