I got nothing.
But what I do have is
F35B targeting for MLRS

Here is the same idea being used with an Army system.

Why my goodness could perhaps this be a capability across multiple platforms and mission types? Good heavens what if it’s Meads or PAC next.

  1. what data-link the F-35s used in what you linked? and
  2. what were the distances in the setup of an F-35 -- ground station -- target?

my point is airborne artillery-observers have been around since 1800s (in balloons at first)

Human beings have been killing each other (probably with stones) since the dawn of time while still living in caves. Over time, the killing machine is much more efficient in both depth and scope.
So what is your point about observers in a balloon? You are not making a point but merely making a statement.

You are free to criticize about any technology or system but make a case for it. If you think sending observers onto a balloon is the way to go then make a case for it. I would be very interested in in how it would compare to a MADL data feed to a SM-6.

And so you are comparing a balloon that would have relayed information half an hour old by the time it got to artillery to a system that exchanges information on targeting objects at the speeds limited only by the computational speed of the processor.
That’s a thin argument. I mean I have had some thin ones myself, but this is active data exchange across a breath of data types.
 
LOL what is this TE

I would've thought you might've realized the features you linked

aren't specific to the F-35, in fact any suitable aircraft (for instance the F-18) could get them;

since you haven't realized (or pretended not to) said features aren't specific to the F-35,

I pointed this out to you in a hyperbole Yesterday at 11:03 PM (you didn't notice my reference to the 19th century was a hyperbole, no?)

now Brumby jumped into the end (for me) of this conversation OK it began

Yesterday at 6:43 PM

with the chunk boasting about the F-35:

, the Navy and Lockheed Martin tested pairing an F-35B with an Aegis Combat System armed with a Raytheon Standard Missile-6. An Aegis test site at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, used data from the F-35 to launch an SM-6 anti-air missile at a Beechcraft MQM-107 target representing an adversarial fighter

and Yesterday at 7:14 PM I called that chunk

one-time PR stunt aimed to
  • justify ("justify") exorbitant F-35 program cost, and
  • prove ("prove") how advanced the F-35 was (back in 2016)
and have nothing to add to this, actually I ask again what's on top of this page which is

so what's been the progress on the F-35 involvement in the NIFC-CA since then? just tell the World:

EDIT by the way is the NIF-CA even a program of record? (I don't know that)

the LCS part is to me like a red scarf to a bull (LOL I should take it easy in the landlocked country)
