The F-35's sensor suite and datalinks provide more data at higher rates than any other aircraft, including the F-22. In addition, the system's ability to fuse the raw data from multiple sensors makes the data more accurate and the F-35's ability to display this data to the pilot in a meaningful and intuitive manner is unmatched, even by F-22.

You know this how? From your detailed briefings on (for example) Rafale F3R? (I don't know whether your claim is accurate or not - but then, neither do you.)

My experience is in a cockpit (F/A-18C) that was pretty advanced in the early part of this century and remains largely so today. The air picture in that cockpit was generated by the pilot's eyeballs which was fed data from two sources: looking outside and looking at an active RF (radar) display. That radar picture was updated manually by the pilot and fuzed with eyeball data in the pilot's head. That remains true of essentially every cockpit flying today.

The final sentence is false. (That's a statement of fact, not a personal attack.) Are you genuinely unaware of what has been done outside of Lockheed Martin, are are you actively trying to inject misinformation into the discussion?
