To prevent the loss of both aircraft and pilot lives, Lockheed Martin Corporation(NYSE: LMT) is implementing anti-collision software in its fleet of F-35 aircraft, according to the Pentagon’s F-35 Joint Program Office.
The concept is similar to a car that brakes on its own before striking an object. Lockheed Martin installed the software into its F-16 fleet in 2014, and the system has already saved the lives of seven pilots and six aircraft, the company said

Germany’s Air Force chief “will likely be fired” if he “says ‘F-35’ again,” a local defense expert reports as debate about the Luftwaffe’s next-generation fighter jet grows in German military circles.
The news comes amid reports that the German Air Force (the Luftwaffe) is mulling replacement options for its aging Panavia Tornado jets. The Tornado, designed and brought to service during the Cold War, fails to meet the requirements of modern warfare. Finding suitable options has, however, proved difficult.
Some military chiefs, like Luftwaffe commander General Karl Muellner, advocate the Lockheed Martin-built F-35. Government officials favor an upgraded version of Joint Strike Fighter’s European contender, the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Christian Thiels, a defense expert and military correspondent with ARD public broadcaster, reported that Muellner was told to stop talking about the F-35.
