Now that's a joke. No downward coverage due to the fuselage, none forward due to the blades, limited to the rear due to the tail. Best coverage would be when on the deck - in which case eliminate the airframe.....
a sensible option would be the
Vigilance pods/configuration proposed.
Then there's the issue of the F-35 only being equipped with the the MADL, which is a directional Ku band formation link (multiple aerials, point to point). So the platform also has to have a MADL/MIDS/L16 translator and aerials...
I am looking for a job by the way.....
