The F-35 have significant flaws in its software

Let us in a situation, we are the pilot of a fighter jet F-35 and want to launch a missile at an enemy target, we are about to pull the trigger and ... our screens are filled with blue screen of death. Would it be unlikely that something really happened? As incredible as it seems it is not impossible.


According to a report by Michael Gilmore, the Director of the Division: Operational Test and Evaluation (OT & E) Department of Defense United States, lists the problems that could probably lead to a further delay in the new phase of testing being currently underway in a jet fighter F-35.

The report states that the software solution with the reference 'Block 2B', used in aircraft, have and continue to have a couple of mistakes that are needed to be corrected. However, the authorities of the Joint Program Office (JPO or Joint Program Office) does not attach great importance to the concerns of Michael Gilmore.

The fighter jets F-35B, should be delivered soon to the Marine Corps of the United States, but such delivery may be delayed because the use of the solution 'Block 2B' software according to the report by Michael Gilmore It has "hundreds of deficiencies that have not been corrected."

These deficiencies have multiplied in the new versions of the software and are the cause of the poor results of the electronic systems of the aircraft observed during the development phase. The official also pointed the finger at the Joint Program Office (JPO) that have added new features in the set of code called "Block 3F" and is full of bugs. Software to be used for new fighter jets F-35.
