When it comes to sensor fusion, there isn't a fighter jet out there that's better than the f-35!
The issue is that the f-35 program failed to deliver a low-cost replacement for the f-16, and the program used a couple of practices (concurrent delivery/development, and shared components between airframes) that have a sketchy history in defense contracting. IMO, it's a great plane, but built in a time where near-peer pressure isn't as strong as it is now, and some very contractor favorable terms crept in.
- ttfxxcc 6y agoThe public is unaware of the capabilities that makes the F35 stand out. It is not a traditional fighter. Sensor fusion is just one of the major components.
- saati 6y agoDoes sensor fusion even work? Last time I've read about it the story stated pilots turn off all but one relevant one to actually get targets because it messes everything up.
