#2Still done by the same incompetents (but with good sales team in parent company).

#3"ODIN will be based in the cloud and designed to deliver data in near real time on aircraft and system performance under heightened cyber security provisions, Lord said. "
heart warming to see us draw ever closer to the cyberpunk dystopia of my childhood dreams.

Wait till you learn that some F-16s run with Kubernetes on board.

"“One point for the team was to demonstrate that it could be done,” Chaillan said. He challenged the Air Force and its partners to get Kubernetes up and running on a jet in 45 days, and while that was as difficult as it sounds, the team met the goal and F-16s are now running three concurrent Kubernetes clusters, he said."

I can run Kubernettes on my laptop even while in orbit.

#6The functioning or non-functioning of the logistics system for the F-35 is largely irrelevant, as just demonstrated Lockheed is paid whether it works or not; and non-functioning is much safer for the program, as non-flying F-35s are safe from combat and accidents. In fact, low availability just provides an excuse for the Air Force to demand additional budget for aircraft. This isn't so much a combat system as a corporate welfare program.
In practice, the US has already demonstrated that its primary airpower projection is via unmanned systems, the manned combat aircraft is the mounted cavalry c. 1920.

(with my tin-foil hat securely fastened)
I've always had a suspicion that the generous piles of cash thrown at the F-35 program was really going to two programs:
1) A well-publicised cover (F-35)
2) A secret Skunk Works project like F-117, SR-71
But a corporate welfare program as you suggest is more likely.

#8This was not a fluke.
The failure rate of large scale IT projects is the huge. For large, complex projects the statistics is
2% success
42% challenged
56% failed
The new system has probably similar 50% change for success. I think giving the new project to the same contractor may improve the changes. Hhey have hopefully learned something.

Well said.
But now I wonder: if this is just so much smoke, mirrors and rose-tinted narratives of potentiality... when will the bubble pop? And what might cause that? And what might the pop (or maybe explosion) look like?
My curiosity is mostly just idle/morbid musing - this seems much like watching a moth encounter a candle.

I’m having enough trouble seeing why you’d want one Kube cluster on an F-16, never mind three.
