The F-35 will have to process a lot of information to get the mission done. Lot's of data, plus lots of processing, equals lots of code. I believe it was a guy named Paul Strassmann who long ago said "Complex software systems usually don't work. When they do, it is because they were based on SIMPLE systems that worked!" Unfortunately, that's not always an option. Get comfortable. This could be a while.
