F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, also known as Lightening II, is once again in the news for the wrong reasons as it has faced with yet another problem. According to media reports, the radar stops working requiring the pilot to turn it off and on again. It has been further identified that the actual problem is with the software package controlling the functionality of radar avionics on board.
This is not the first time that the Lockheed Martin plane has met with such problems.Since 2001, when the development work on the plane began, F-35 has encountered numerous such technical glitches.
But part of the problem is the fact that JSF is the most software-driven warplane ever built to make the machine more intelligent and responsive. But such ambitious advancements have their own share of troubles. Most obvious ones are delays in combat service and steep jump in development costs.
