The US Marine Corps has accepted 6 F-35B jets without radars, fitting ballast in the nose cones to maintain weight and balance. A delayed Northrop Grumman AN/APG-85 radar is the cause, and the Air Force and Navy will face the same situation later this year.
Radar
The US Air Force (USAF) is upgrading its experimental, autonomous X-62 VISTA aircraft with advanced radar and mission systems to expand artificial intelligence flight testing and combat-relevant experimentation.
Pilots of the SpiceJet aircraft had expressed concerns about the dependability of the plane’s radar three months prior to the flight into the thunderstorm that badly injured 14 passengers, according to AAIB.
