    Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - Jane's Defence Industry Australia has been selected to provide additional support for Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, Defence Minister Christopher Pyne announced on 14 February. The additional work features the provision of maintenance, repair, overhaul, and upgrade (MRO&U) services for avionics, composites, electric components, hydraulics, and other systems on board the F-35. In a statement, Pyne said, “Australian companies have been awarded 343 out of a possible 388 components in the latest tranche of assignments – a significant achievement and a major boost for our economy.” The additional work was assigned by the United States' F-35 Joint Program Office and follows its announcement in 2014 to assign Australia as provider of support services for F-35s operating in the South Pacific region. https://www.janes.com/article/86377/australia-secures-additional-f-35-support-work
