Northrop Grumman has developed the only 360 degree, spherical situational awareness system in the electro-optical distributed aperture system (DAS). The DAS surrounds the F-35 aircraft with a protective sphere of situational awareness. It warns the pilot of incoming aircraft and missile threats as well as providing day/night vision, fire control capability and precision tracking of wingmen/friendly aircraft for tactical maneuvering.

  • @azotos

    Actually the chinese are the best at deceiving their own people. Hollywood movie scenes used as propaganda. LMAO!

  • I'll be the Chinese have found a way to get this from us already. We seem to provide the world with technology they will just use right back on us. Sad.

  • @Thrax005 Do you has a T4 security level? Then maybe :~P

  • @atmodom 2:15, that's what happens.

    Also, 'flying cow' is an inaccurate description, in the September 2011 issue of Airforces Monthly they had this to say "... in terms of manoeuvrability the F-35 will be cleared to 50° angle of attack, similar to the F/A-18 Hornet, with a full load of munitions inside."

    Also, manoeuvrability may not be as important as you think it is, most modern air-to -air engagements tend to be at long range where the F-35's advanced systems make it lethal.

  • DAS what I'm talking about!

  • Best of all , we can afford it because it's made in China!

  • Bet you can not see everything everywhere all the time with that machine.

    But you Americans are fantastic in deceiving arts (marketing in this advid).

  • @Air2air1 you forgot 2add that the f35 is a nato joint strike fighter program
