"Multi-role, in current thinking, would be a sequential series of tasks.
The F-35 is doing a number of missions simultaneously.
The concept of mission simultaneity is really important.
The airplane has the ability to do things without the pilot asking it to do it.
Automatically conducting, particularly, ISR whilst it’s conducting an OCA mission or an attack mission in a very different way than platforms have done business in the past.
That the F-35 operator won’t be going through sequential thought process.
He will be thinking about the battle space in a broader sense, a much different way than a Typhoon operator would be thinking about the battle space."
