Maximus_G Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 That's a pretty good read, does anyone know what aggressors they use or plan to use against the F-35C? Well, if they're using Talons to train Raptors, then for the F-35 those would be... Texans? )))

Hook47 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Lol, my take away from what Bluto said is that the F-35 is no where near as capable as the A-10 in the CAS without him actually coming out and saying it!
Punisher74 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Lol, my take away from what Bluto said is that the F-35 is no where near as capable as the A-10 in the CAS without him actually coming out and saying it! I'm not a fan of the F-35, but what are you smoking. He said that the plane doesn't have the full software uploads. But it will by 2021. That it gathers all the situational information faster that any other aircraft. The plane is in operational testing, I'm sure the A-10 wasn't up to pare when it was in operational testing phase. Like he said collect all the facts before making stupid comments. 1 Thanks, Lt.

StrongHarm Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks badboom! Nice vid! That IS a beautiful bird. What I wouldn't give to be an AT or AE on the deck working with it.. or better yet a pilot flying it off the deck. It's going to be just like the F-14.. people will bash the hell out of it.. until it's in it's first action where it cleans up OPFOR that is. Then everyone's going to have a poster.. and Tom Cruise's grandson will be flying it in a Top Gun remake LOL It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

The helmet would make all the pilots have thick fullback necks so it shouldn't be as big an issue as is being made of it.

GGTharos Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I believe that it is a P-8.

Emu Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) So I think I figured out the ICP specifications. http://www.aviationtoday.com/av/military/JSF-Integrated-Avionics-Par-Excellence_1067.html#.ViztOrfhCUk Core Processor Hosting the mission systems software is the JSF's electronic brain, the ICP. Packaged in two racks, with 23 and eight slots, respectively, this computer consolidates functions previously managed by separate mission and weapons computers, and dedicated signal processors. At initial operational capability, the ICP data processors will crunch data at 40.8 billion operations/ sec (giga operations, or GOPS); the signal processors, at 75.6 billion floating point operations (gigaflops, or GFLOPS); and the image processors at 225.6 billion multiply/accumulate operations, or GMACS, a specialized signal processing measure, reports Chuck Wilcox, Lockheed's ICP team lead. The design includes 22 modules of seven types: Four general-purpose (GP) processing modules, Two GPIO (input/output) modules, Two signal processing (SP) modules, Five SPIO modules, Two image processor modules, Two switch modules, and Five power supply modules. The ICP also will have� "pluggable growth" for eight more digital processing modules and an additional power supply, Wilcox adds. It uses commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, standardizing at this stage on Motorola G4 PowerPC microprocessors, which incorporate 128-bit AltiVec technology. The image processor uses commercial field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the VHDL hardware description language to form a very specialized processing engine.The ICP employs the Green Hills Software Integrity commercial real-time operating system (RTOS) for data processing and Mercury Computer Systems' commercial Multi-computing OS (MCOS) for signal processing. Depending on processing trades still to be made in the program, the JSF also could use commercial RTOSs in sensor front ends to perform digital preprocessing, according to Baker. The display management computer and the CNI system also use the Integrity RTOS. COTS reduces development risk and� ensures an upgrade path, according to Ralph Lachenmaier, the program office's ICP and common components lead. Tying the ICP modules together like a backplane bus and connecting the sensors, CNI and the displays to the ICP is the optical Fibre Channel network. Key to this interconnect are the two 32-port ICP switch modules. The 400-megabit/sec IEEE 1394B (Firewire) interconnect is used externally to link the ICP, display management computer and the CNI system to the vehicle management system. Low-level processing will occur in the sensor systems, but most digital processing will occur in the ICP. The radar, for example, will have the smarts to generate waveforms and do analog-to-digital conversion. But the radar will send target range and bearing data to the ICP signal processor, which will generate a report for the data processor, responsible for data fusion. Radar data, fused with data from other onboard and offboard systems, then will be sent from the ICP to the display processor for presentation on the head-down and helmet-mounted displays. http://embeddedstar.com/press/content/2004/2/embedded12722.html Raytheon Selects RACE++ Multicomputers for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter https://www.mrcy.com/products/boards/race_powerpc7448/ Fully compatible with RACE++ Series 66.66-MHz RACEway interconnect Includes RACE++ Series MULTI® Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for application development and testing 6U Form Factor MCJ6 motherboard and two daughtercards.

AltiVec technology may dramatically enhance the performance of applications such as voiceover-Internet Protocol (VoIP), speech recognition, multi-channel modems, virtual private network servers, high-resolution 3-D graphics, motion video (MPEG-2, MPEG-4), high fidelity audio (3-D audio, AC-3), and so on. AltiVec computational instructions are executed in the four independent, pipelined AltiVec execution units. A maximum of two AltiVec instructions can be issued in order to any combination of AltiVec execution units per clock cycle. In the MPC7448, a maximum of two AltiVec instructions can be issued out-oforder to any combination of AltiVec execution units per clock cycle from the bottom two AltiVec instruction queue entries. For example, an instruction in queue one destined for AltiVec integer unit one does not have to wait for an instruction in queue zero that is stalled behind an instruction waiting for operand availability.
