F-35 radar system has bug that requires hard reboot in flight

Virtual BSOD for radar software could delay USAF's full deployment of fighter.
>In an episode of CBS' techno-procedural series CSI:Cyber that aired in January, pilots were forced to power off and power back on an airliner's flight computer to regain control from a hacker. As preposterous as that cold-boot of avionics sounds, it's something that test pilots have had to do with the F-35A "Lightning II" Joint Strike Fighter's radar system—not because of a hack but because of a software problem that causes the radar to degrade or stop working entirely.
>IHS Jane's reports that an issue arose in late 2015 with the F-35's AN/APG-81 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system, built by Northrop Grumman for the Lockheed Martin-led F-35 program. The software planned to be used in the F-35A when the Air Force declares its "initial operational capability" (IOC) with the fighter later this year—revision 3i—has a major flaw. As Air Force F-35 Integration Office Director Major General Jeffrey Harrigian told Jane's, that flaw affects "radar stability—the radar's ability to stay up and running. What would happen is they'd get a signal that says either a radar degrade or a radar fail—something that would force us to restart the radar."

The F-15 has a similar bug. So does the Apache.

It's a bit odd that a bug that first came into light over a year ago (granted it only got this bad with the 3i hardware) and which is likely going to get fixed really soon is made a huge headline out off now. The plane has far worse and way harder to fix issues than this

Mods. I would like to suggest a 6 month moratorium on F-35 threads so that such faggots like the OP move on to the spacebattles forum. Please consider banning on sight. Thank you.

I wonder who will profit from delays...

This is only surprising to people who think the AF only consists of pilots and that planes magically work all the time.
All platforms regularly have electronics issues. That's just the way life works. They all eventually get resolved, and replaced by new emerging issues.

How about this problem?

Lockheed actually stands to lose money; they get bonuses if they meet objective timelines and penalised if they exceed threshold timelines.
