F-35B/C Test Status

Some good info on the latest test points at the following link.  Also some hopeful thoughts on how the system will integrate inputs from multiple sensors.  Schenk opens Pandora's box a bit when he acknowledges that the system may be asked to reconcile conflicting data regarding "friend or foe" status.  Some software programmer deep in the bowels of a defense contractor may ultimately be deciding who I shoot (or make myself vulnerable to) based on ambiguous information.  I'm not saying that's bad, I'm just saying that this stuff is going to be VERY hard to V&V!
