Pentagon Chief Tester: F-35 Software Remains Seriously Flawed


eMagin will get their High Brightness displays in the HMDS if Lockheed can figure out how to fix the software, cannot fly at night because the Night Vision visual acuity is so bad, "swimming" symbology, constant brightness adjustments required, what a mess.

"The system displays navigation and weapons information as well as the location of enemy aircraft based on radar feeds. According to the report, Lockheed Martin managed to fix problems with jitter in the display, but these fixes introduced instability or “swimming” of the projected symbology. Also, night vision acuity was unacceptable and light leaks into the helmet required pilots to fine tune the symbology brightness, adding to their workload, the report said."
