ALIS and the F-35 Lightning II Training System will continue to advance over time, improving the capabilities of the F-35 series as a whole, from the mission capabilities of the aircraft and the pilots to the maintainers on the ground.

The aircraft will be ready for future deployments aboard U.S. Navy amphibious carriers following the declaration of IOC.
