Within the relativistic-quantum-mechanics version developed by the present authors in their previous studies, the pion electromagnetic form factor is calculated in the region of high momentum transfers reached and planned to be reached in experiments at the Thomas Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). An asymptotic expansion was obtained for the pion form factor for Q{sup 2} {sup {yields} {infinity}}. This expansion describes well existing experimental values and the results of a QCD simulation of future experiments at JLab. It is shown that the region of experiments at JLab is an asymptotic region for the relativistic constituent quark model and that the behavior of the pion form factor, F{sub {pi}}(Q{sup 2})Q{sup 2} = const, can be obtained within this model.
