Milo, I was refering to "but there will already be microprocessors flying on the F-35 that are stockpiled by the supplier because they are obsolescent, or about to be obsolescent."
The f-35 processors/design aren't like the others and will hit the wall for upgrades, for example. One of the design criteria was that the f-35 would spiral upgrade without hitting hardware walls. Block 3 has the first 'computer' upgrade for all the planes, there is no block obsolescence as if found on existing planes
