Why would you want to fit F-35 sensors? Frankly they are 30 year old and obsolete, the EO for example. Any upgrade to the F-35 will take years and $Bs, but any new retrofit to another platform would take advantage of the progress since the F-35 sensors were designed.

It would be like deciding to upgrade the radio in an 80s Merc and trying to retrofit an 90s FM set and CD player rather than a DAB/Sirius with an integrated Bluetooth phone system.
