My question is how much of a leap is the prospective F35 sensor fusion above the levels being achieved with latest tranche Typhoons, Rafales, F18s and Gripens, or should I say the 4.5 Gen fighters?
A large portion of the Sensor suite is from Northrop who have stated ever since 2010 that it is available for sale and (according to them fairly straightforward) integration into other weapon systems (vehicles, fighters, larger aircraft and helos).
Nobody up until today seems to have been interested seriously enough.
Might not say anything at all but it certainly seems not to be such a big item on many clients wish-list.
