However, I think it's reasonable to assume that overall configuration control of the aircraft will be tightly controlled by the US
I have my doubts, particularly as regards software and external stores.
based on the recent articles relating to the F-35i 9yes, we are getting into export versions), the baseline software is being regarded as the equivalent of IOS on the iPhone, where customers can add their own apps to control external devices and add new capabilities on their displays in the form of overlays etc.
One only hopes it will end up as the IOS model and not the Android.....
