There’s plenty of reason to be critical of the F-35, but wow I loved reading this article. The two things that really stood out to me: 1. The F-35s top feature is situational awareness, essentially the way in which it processes and displays information to a pilot. Information is becoming a critical piece of war, and the advances made here will trickle down to us civilians in the years to come. Imagine what their HUDs are capable of? Add to that its ability to essentially fly itself, I have to imagine there are some features of autonomy that will be useful to us down the line. 2. Speaking of information, from a metatextual perspective, this article is also a great application of the human domain of warfare (1) this article itself being a weapon. The anti-F35 articles used to concern me from this perspective, but I wonder if even those were part of a larger information campaign (The enemy thinks the jet is bad, thus under estimating it). The first 2019 Redflag was just a few weeks ago, I wish I would have made the drive out to the desert to watch. 1)https://mailchi.mp/digitalfuture/dff4-316401 https://mailchi.mp/digitalfuture/dff4-316401 (scroll down to the animated gif of a machine gun)
