F-35 Lightning II DAS System

Who the hell are you, and what the hell does your comment even mean? F-35s are already flying. Quit bitching about USA on the internet, and go do something with your life.

However, bringing such idea into real life is something else. That's why I said alien-like. No one can deny it is a technology breakthrough. And your attitude toward that, considering who you are, combining with your lack of ability to understand one's post are that of a fool. And this is not taking into account that there is no reason to believe that you belong to the loads of youtube kids out there who claim to be working in the aerospace industry.

I apologize if your post is not bullshit, and you are in fact who you claim to be. However, my point still stands. Your attitude toward the technology is just ridiculous, and I don't think you can blame me for coming to a conclusion that you're one of those dickhead floating around the internet thinking they know all after reading wikipedia. The idea is not alien-like, of course. Saying that is very disrespectful toward the human imagination.

Actually I am an aerospace engineering grad student doing UAV work, and I do work with people who does vision processing / navagation stuff. Of course I can't compare with people with decades of experience at Northrop, but I'm pretty sure, by the maturity of your comments, that the "internet geek" here is you.

I have work to do, now go have a cookie.

Recent news released by the Air Force said that the reports claiming f-35 defeated by sukhoi are "completely false and misleading" and have "no basis in facts." They also said that during that day, there was NOT any mock-up dogfight taken place. It was a table-top excercise for battle command and management, there was no air to air combat excercise, or any comparison between aircraft platform.

Wow, you're a genius. Who says internet geeks can't be better then real top technicians with 8 years in college and decades of experience, hah? You should totally apply for a job at Northrop Grumman and get those guys fired! Lol, stop joking around, mate!

I don't understand where you getting at? I don't see how it's relevant as a response to my post at all. I was countering the so called "news" released by JSF program opponents that it lost to the su in a mockup dogfight. And beside, the f-22 production line is threatened to close is a fact, and Congress has decided to shift some fund from the JSF to keep the f-22 production line open.

Stealthyf23 - The USAF doesn't want aircraft to lose anything! The American people are willing to spend whatever it takes to win and winning includes buying the F-35! The USAF has no intention of loosing on one plane to get more another. No airforce can afford a massive fleet of $100+ million fighters so you need to have lots more cheaper fighters/bombers to cover to many targets on the battlfields! Besides, Lockheedmartin doesn't build substandard stuff - They set the bar ever higher!

unidirectional infrared imager using image processing to combine 6 infrared images, interesting idea but far from alien-like...? More like grad school thesis stuff out of the CS department.

Anyway, good luck with that F35 folks, throwing every expensive toys onto a plane gets you a pretty cool promo, but it doesn't help you get it in the sky.

It's released by a bunch of biased people who were against the f-35 in the very beginning, so I'm very skeptical about the report. Secondly, if the report was even true, I doubt it was fair. The US Air Force wanted the f-35 to lose, since it would give them the excuse to keep the f-22 production line open and buy more f-22, and such a news would never close down f-35 program. Thirdly, it's a computer game. The capabilities of a future aircraft will be restricted to the point of rediculousness.

they do have to sell this aircraft to the public as well. Voters will be rather pissed if you can't prove to them that your goverment has billions of dollars on a turkey. I just hope it is a good aircraft. An article from Austrila surfaced a day or two ago that concluded that an su-35 was defeating the JSF in simulated computer engagements. not something i want to here after all the money the goverment has invested into this plane.

.. what a question...

grow up a little, this is real life, not Hollywood, where everything is classified with men in black suit come and take you. Yes, there are stuff about this aircraft that is still classified, and the Air Force said so. but what is not classified will be released for public consumption, since they are the ones who paid for this plane through their tax money. I can't even count how many shows on tv that shows military technology of today world.

Who is storng?
F-16 Or F-35?

I reckon this is propoganda, I cannot believe this S**t aint classified. Why the F**k would you allow this system to go public? If this is legit then what the F**k does the US have up its sleeve that still is classified?
