Jets computer networks

Getting big data to the skies

The air force’s Ofek computer programming unit is developing technologies to better send, receive and analyze big data from fighter jets and drones, a senior officer from the unit told The Jerusalem Post.
That effort includes preparations to link up Lockheed Martin F-35 jets, which will begin arriving in Israel at the end of next year, to the F-15 and F-16 squadrons that currently form the backbone of the air force.
