Speaking the Same Language

Since the earliest stages, the F-35 was designed to improve the interoperability of coalition nations fighting together. The Cipher Brief spoke with former F-35 pilot Lt. Col David Berke, on the technologies that elevate the F-35 above 4th generation fighter aircraft for the U.S. and its allies.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
