OK. So now the jet is trundling along, blorting out coordinates and metadata of every contact it sees in a two-million-square-mile area. LPI, LPD - what do those mean again?
The F-35C CV date is not a fact, because it hasn't happened yet, so I used what the team currently estimates to be the schedule.
TT - If you can find me another example of a combat aircraft that was planned to have lower operating costs than its predecessor and has delivered on those promises, out with it, man!
Pardon me if I am favorably impressed by an industry, civil government and military that consistently ran at least third in developing and fielding technology in the Cold War (that is, behind the superpowers), that ran the Gripen A/B/C/D program on fixed-price R&D contracts, and that closed out the initial phase of C/D with the contractor returning cash to the government.
Mind you, I can see how a LockMart shill and an advocate for monopoly corporate socialism would regard this concept as subversive and dangerous.
