Gd morning.
Continuing from my last post. The more you dig the worst it goes it seems apparently.
ALIS is a nightmare it seems. Israel is the only country managing without ALIS connection on daily basis for F35s

There is only one global ALIS server, called the Autonomic Logistics Operating Unit (ALOU), where spare parts are ordered and reliability trends are analyzed. Each partner nation has its own server, called the Central Point of Entry (CPE), which stores sovereign data and
transmits that information to the ALOU [Wow malware spying, US would know if we were to fly along Karakoram or in Lhasa via Kameng sector in Arunachal
]
Individual squadrons operate locally with a server called the Standard Operating Unit (SOU), which communicates with that nation's CPE. Squadrons can operate independently and store data for about 30 days without connecting to the partner nation's CPE, Scott said. Then, when a connection is re-established,
the SOU uploads the stored data to the CPE.

One more nightmare
F22 & F35 don't talk to each other
[That communication, though, is largely limited to radio calls. The F-22 can’t transmit the most sensitive data it collects to any aircraft besides other F-22s. While it can receive Link 16 data from other aircraft, it can’t pass along its “God’s-eye view” to other players in the force. Even the other fifth generation fighter, the
F-35, can’t communicate with the F-22 except at the voice level.
The situation wasn’t brought about by negligence. In developing the F-22—and later, the F-35—designers needed to preserve the jets’ stealth against rapidly evolving adversaries. Standard radio emissions would reveal their locations, which meant devising ways the low-observable fighters could talk to each other without giving away their position. Both jets have what are called “low probability of detection/interecept” communications gear to stay hidden.
The F-35’s system—because it was developed 10 years after the F-22’s—takes a different approach.
As a result, Air Force combat communications can become a kind of Tower of Babel. While Raptors can receive over the Link 16 network—the standard across US and NATO aircraft—it can’t transmit over the system. Instead, it uses the F-22-only Intra-Flight Data Link (IFDL). F-35s can transmit on Link 16 to fourth gen jets and talk among themselves using the stealthy
Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL), a capability the Air Force had planned to install on the F-22 but canceled because of cost about five years ago.]
Northrop Grumman has pitched a different way to help F-22s and F-35s securely talk in flight, by adding another aircraft—
Northrop suggests its own RQ-4 Global Hawk—to fly in the area with its “Freedom 550” radio. This “production-ready … software-defined” radio is built using avionics Northrop developed for both the F-35 and F-22. That means the system can translate among IFDL, MADL, and Link 16. Loll
One more Gem
MADL COST
MADL allows a lot. More information can be shared than via other methods and it’s hard to jam. The downside is that it’s really just for inter-F-35 communications. The B-2 Spirit bomber is MADL-compatible, and there were plans to upgrade the F-22 Raptor, but they were scrapped. There has been talk of other fighter upgrades to the new network, but it’s
expensive and cumbersome.
And to fly F35 apparently Air Force needs to setup dedicated server that is in communication with Home IACCS C2 node and a server in United states using MADL where data is first uploaded.
F35 Share
[During the exercise, Dutch F-35s operating in an Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) environment detected and identified multiple simulated ground targets. Utilizing the
Multifunction Advanced Datalink (MADL), the targeting data was transmitted through
Skunk Works’ Open Systems Gateway (OSG) into
Keystone, the Dutch C2 environment. Keystone then relayed the information to a rocket artillery platform, which engaged and neutralized the target, completing the kill chain within minute]
Imagine Babu in MOD eating Gutka is told all this
idrw.org
, etc. have rendered geographical barriers almost meaningless, when weapons can targets can strike targets hundreds of km away with pinpoint accuracy, the traditional concepts of front, rear, flanks, combat zones and depth areas all become all become irrelevant... this new reality demands that we extend our surveillance envelope far beyond what previous generation could have imagined "
