Far more fun actually attending (although there's a lot of boring stuff at AVIATION compared to SciTech).

You mean I paid my 10+-year-old overdue fees to get my library card for nothing????? :doh:

-------Edit--------
Damn.... apparently I am going to need those after all. The library listed on the site is not "my" library even though they have the same name. :bang:

I think that was only an oral presentation.

That F-35 Information Fusion document is excellent description of how fusion is done in F-35 (and to lesser extent F-22) and how it differs from 4th and 4++ gen fighters (with correlation and track blending). It also describes the benefits of such fusion system very well, although I'm sure most people still don't really understand just how powerful a closed loop sensor fusion system is.

What I found particularly interesting was the description of how MADL supports sensor fusion in F-35. It seems to share astonishing amount of data compared to legacy data links and the quality of data is also something else. A single F-35 is extremely impressive ISR node. A flight of F-35s is an ISR monster...

Btw, thank you for providing these documents!

Yeah, there's also errors in the weapons loadout chart in the weapons development paper (placement of weapon symbols not matching the describing text). At least with the reference issue I'm 99% certain they're just references to Fig 2, Fig 6, Fig 7 and Fig 8.

Really? SDD is complete; what is it LM is supposed to tell us?

Some great material (for my interest anyway & soon to be posted elsewhere in forum) is in History of the Program PDF:
