Monday January 8, 2024 10:09 Hello Chief of Naval Operations, DNS-36 2000 Navy Pentagon Washington, DC 20350-2000 usn.ncr.dns.mbx.don-foia-pa@us.navy.mil 1. This is a Freedom of Information Act request for software certification information for software used on 2022 F-35C which crashed aboard Carl Vinson. 2. Internet posts claimed that F-35C safety-critical software is composed of 53% c and 35% c++ software technologies. 3. Reason for this FOIA Boeing hardware engineers' standards limited embedded controller software modules code length to no greater than one page for certification edibility. Certification definition: The action or process of providing someone or something with an official document attesting to a status or level of achievement. If the code modules are longer than one page, then they may be too complex for certification evaluation? Code length limitation can be traced to 1966 and after the Boeing 767 Software Certification Policy publishes in 1980. 4 Documents requested: A. Copy of the US document accepting delivery of the Vinson F-35C. B. Copies of Properties in Linux, Windrows or tervalent software development tools of all folders and files of Vinson F-35C software. C. Copes names off all subroutines/procedures/ and main code along with certification documents for each. Copies of verified statement if no certification document exists. D. Copies of a verified count of miner of lines of code in each subroutine/procedure and in which computer language was each written. 5. Copies of the Vinson F-35C autopilot switch wiring diagrams. A Copies of Properties which contain name and size of all software subroutine/procedure/modules which have read access to the autopilot switch. 6. Please waive fees. Reason: Possible deployment of uncertified software by the US Navy in its weapon systems irresponsible? This knowledge is in the public interest. 7. Please send these documents within 20 business days, as the statute requires. Sincerely, William Harris Payne Boeing 767 Software Certification Policy 1980, coauthor Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, retired 13015 Calle de Sandias NE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87111 505-292-7037 bpayne37@comcast.net https://www.prosefights2.org/irp2023/usnavy1.htm
