Morning.
The F-35 may have passed a phase of testing but still has areas of vulnerability. Firstly such a Heath Robinson VSTOL reconfiguration has to be highly vulnerable to battle damage.
Secondly, as part of a continuously active logistics network
using ALIS, it's highly vulnerable to cyber attack. It may be possible to safeguard the network (though working in the business, I doubt it, it's a constantly changing battlefield), the problem is can you prove it?
Thirdly, there is the complexity of the actual
software/firmware on the aircraft itself. The same issues arise, both of V&V of the system and being able to prove that such a complex system is safe both from bugs and cyber attack?
