The joint U.S.-U.K. test team from the F-35 Lightning II Pax River Integrated Test Force (ITF) conducted internal Paveway IV weapons environment testing during flight 406 of aircraft BF-02 on July 14. The test, conducted over the Atlantic Test Ranges, brought together the multi-role Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant of the F-35 fifth generation stealth fighter and the Paveway IV — an advanced weapon that equips the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force with a state-of-the-art, all-weather Inertial Navigation- and GPS-guided bombing capability. The Paveway IV is the first dual mode bomb operational on the F-35 Lightning II. (Lockheed Martin photo by Dane Wiedmann)
