Comments on: F-35 Slated for Common Electronic Attack Platform? http://steeljawscribe.com/2008/12/01/f-35-slated-for-common-electronic-attack-platform Looking for clues at the scene of the crime Mon, 14 May 2012 13:46:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Steeljawscribe http://steeljawscribe.com/2008/12/01/f-35-slated-for-common-electronic-attack-platform/comment-page-1#comment-3823 Steeljawscribe Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:53:08 +0000 http://steeljawscribe.com/?p=1788#comment-3823 I guess my point is that if we are going to such extent to automate the system, it seems to be not that great a leap to place it aboard a UAV which provides some opportunities not available with a manned EF-35 (jeez, where the h3ll are they going to stuff all this in an EF-35B for pity's sake?). It wouldn't necessarily need to link back for control so much as to report what it (a) has found and (b) is doing about it. Sid: On the tanker *nothing* is radiating (or at least is not supposed to...) I know the AF tankers in particular get very jumpy about making sure everything is cold before closing in to plug-in. - SJS I guess my point is that if we are going to such extent to automate the system, it seems to be not that great a leap to place it aboard a UAV which provides some opportunities not available with a manned EF-35 (jeez, where the h3ll are they going to stuff all this in an EF-35B for pity’s sake?).

Will this puppy be able to radiate when its on the tanker? How does all this extra power consumption…and the extra APU to generate it…impact fuel consumption?

Will this puppy be able to radiate when its on the tanker?
