F-35 Cooling Shortfalls Prompt Low‑Risk Fixes to Preserve Avionics and Deterrence Assessments warn the F‑35's current thermal‑management capacity is insufficient to support planned advanced avionics, sensors and weapons; the industry is pursuing low‑risk cooling upgrades to maintain systems performance and operational deterrence without major airframe redesigns. They target near‑term fielding with minimal schedule risk.
