Ministry of Defence written question – answered at on 17 March 2016.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the communications capability for the UK’s F-35 Lightning II fighters allows full integration with the 4C capability of US variants.
The UK's F-35B Lightning II aircraft will be able to communicate with all US variants of the F-35 and any other friendly forces on the same network.
The sensor suite on the F-35B Lightning II allows pilots to see a single integrated picture of the battlespace and automatically communicate and share that data with other strike aircraft, including the US F-35, as well as other airborne, surface and ground-based platforms.
