#2 continues to struggle in development with deferred requirements, late and incomplete deliveries, high manpower requirements, multiple deficiencies requiring work-arounds, and a complex architecture with likely (but largely untested) cyber deficiencies."

Outsourced infostructure.

#4 well as long as the engine responds to throttle commands and the flight controls work in alignment with the stick and rudder pedals, then i think we can safely say lockheed created the perfect A-4 Skyhawk clone.

#5 Sounds like a big part of the problem is the software French pastry to develop an integrated system that monitors the aircraft, tells people when to repair it and orders the parts for the repairs AND checks to see if the repairs are done correctly. Geez guys, open the maintenance manual...you DO know how to read a book don't you? Or does it have to be on a tablet to have the proper degree of techyness that the generals/admirals/feather merchants want.

Throw out all of these silly soft ware add ons and they could have been bombing Kirkut with the thing instead of using them for door stops at Miramar.
