the JSF will focus onfinding targets … for older F/A-18 fighters and missile-armed warships to shoot down........ around the F-35’s sensors and its ability to share sensor data via radio data-link, all while avoiding detection by enemy forces...... Indeed, the Navy is building an entire battle plan around the F-35’s sensors and its ability to share sensor data via radio data-link, all while avoiding detection by enemy forces.
Hmmmm. How?
I mean, we've been through the issues of MADL being incompatible with the other air and sea assets without a relay like BACN, which the navy don't and not have up threat - and using L16 blows the stealth. So, as I say, Im a bit hazy on how this battle plan is going to work.
