This statement from Lockheed is a little misleading. The demo they are talking about was done on the ground, in a laboratory, using *some* F-35 hardware and software. It was a demonstration that the faux-F-35 test setup could send commands to a completely virtualized / simulated CCA using the Autonomy Government Reference Architecture. The A-GRA is an interface specification or contract. The virtual F-35 was talking to the virtual CCA. The method of communication - the data link - was unspecified. It did not exist in any form. In reality this would be the F-35 connecting to a support aircraft that acts as a router such as a KC-46, which in turn communicates with the CCA through ABMS or directly.
