F35 Boondoggle Radar Doesn't Work

Oh boy this plane is a winner.....
The much maligned F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has yet another problem with its software: the radar stops working requiring the pilot to turn it off and on again.
And it's software has not even been tested for hacking yet.
While flight performance is one concern being addressed by software updates, the mostly software-driven plane also has yet to be tested for resistance to hacking, something that could be a real possibility with cyber warfare an increasing threat across the world.

But it stops just like Maverick did in Top Gun, so it has to be awesome!

It has been in development for 15 years. It will be obsolete before it flys operationally. Straight up taxpayer theft.

Have they checked the fetzer valves?
Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

I don't dispute that this plane/defense acquisitions suck, but recycling power on the radar is not terribly uncommon, depending on the airframe. Block upgrades are part of development.

Have they tried restarting the computer?
