On Friday President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair issued a joint statement which announced "both governments agree that the UK will have the ability to successfully operate, upgrade, employ, and maintain the Joint Strike Fighter such that the UK retains operational sovereignty over the aircraft." The effort, backed by the Bush administration, has been repeatedly blocked by US Congressman Henry Hyde because of his concern about potential technology transfer to third countries.

Britain has also worked for five years for an ITAR waiver to allow greater technology transfer associated with the project. The UK has invested GBP £1.08 billion in development funding for the JSF.

Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. In 2007, the Ministry of Defence confirmed its order for two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. The carriers, expected to remain in service for 50 years, will be convertible to CATOBAR operations for the generation of aircraft after the F-35. At the same time it was announced that the carriers would take the form of large, conventional carriers, which will be adapted for STOVL operations.

On 30 September 2002, the MoD announced that the Royal Navy and RAF will operate the STOVL F-35B variant. On 26 October 2001, the DoD announced that Lockheed Martin had won the JSF contract. This gave the UK significant input into aircraft design and the choice between the Lockheed Martin X-35 and Boeing X-32.

Aircraft selection įollowing the Sea Harrier's retirement, the Harrier II was removed from service in 2011. Later, in the third and final name change of the project, the word "future" was removed. The requirement to replace both Royal Navy and RAF Harriers led to the renaming of the programme as Future Joint Combat Aircraft (FJCA) in 2001. Other aircraft considered were the F/A-18E, Dassault Rafale-M, a 'navalised' Eurofighter Typhoon, and an "advanced Harrier". The SDR singled out the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) as "a strong contender" the UK had signed a Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 1995 making it a partner in the JSF Concept Demonstration phase. Various carrier aircraft types and carrier configurations were studied.

The JCA programme began as a result of the approval of a "Staff Target" in 1996 for a Future Carrier Borne Aircraft (FCBA), a multirole fighter/attack aircraft to replace the Royal Navy's Sea Harrier FA2.
