According to a lot of people in this thread[0], it is pretty much expected that the radar in any fighter jet will need rebooting from time to time. [0] https:/

  At one time, it was "expected" that you'd have to reboot your PC multiple times per day.

  This is correct. A radar or mission avionics system reset isn't a critical emergency. It may force a mission abort, but the jet is still flyable. A reset event would be more worrying if it was a FCS (Flight Control System) computer reset in flight. Air Asia 8501 did something similar and the jet crashed into the sea. An F-22 pilot failed to properly reset his FCS before takeoff, and destroyed a $150m+ aircraft at Nellis AFB.
