    I was still a relatively young A.E./C.E. at the beginning of the 22's Design/Engineering program and had been on Pershing II program (Martin Marietta) and then SDI when due to my Computer Engineering degree from Georgia Tech was asked to work on the 22's computer/networking/software design and was one of the Principal Software Engineers for the 22's Flight Dynamics Sensor Software Suite. I retired in 2019 holding a similar though more encompassing position on the 35 program. They are both pretty sporty when they have their fangs out!
    I will pass on one small tidbit from behind the 35's development curtain that walks up to the classified door but does not walk thru. The 22's software/networking is pretty straightforward but the 35's is much more complex and the software became so voluminous that we were struggling to find the computing cycles to isolate/troubleshoot anomalies (read: regression test) said software and this contributed, in a no small way, to the programs budget and timeline slips. Lockheed Martin bought two Quantum computers. The 35B/A/C passed Combat Readiness Review. That is all.

    These Lockheed engineers at the time probably didn't know that, they had built the most advanced fighter jet, that would last for over 30 years and beyond. What an achievement.

      We actually did know, more than anyone else (a recently retired A.E./S.E. who worked on the 22's Flight Dynamics Sensor Software Suite and later the 35's Flight Dynamics and Battlespace Management Sensor Software Suites.

      LOOKs like the takeoff is in a "trees" area... Edwards has no trees for mile and miles, all sand and rocks...... bet this at the factory.

      Since it's introduction into the USAF we haven't fought adversaries with an AF of their own. Obvious answer. Raptors entered service 2005-2007. We were only fighting insurgents.
