Does the F-35 have a radio?

A key example is the CNI system. I remember that one of the early criticisms by some F-35 analysts was that it did not have a radio. But that was good news, not an oversight. “The Communications, Navigation and Identification (CNI) system is the most advanced integrated avionics system ever engineered.

Why did Lockheed Martin develop the F-35?

The concept for the F-35 developed by Lockheed Martin centered on returning the pilot to the role of tactician. This principle was the driving force behind the avionics development plan. One of the Lockheed Martin Mission Systems team’s design goals was to develop a set of sensors that could collect information across multiple spectrums.

How long did the Air Force deploy the F-35?

The United States Air Force deployed the F-35 for 18 consecutive months from April 2019 until October 2020 in the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility with hundreds of weapons employments in support of U.S. service members and their allies.

How does the F-35 receive data?

In addition to receiving information from the onboard sensors, the F-35 receives off-board tracks and measurements from the Link 16 datalink and the Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL). Designed for 5th Generation aircraft, MADL provides fusion-quality data on all air and surface tracks to other members of the flight group.
