Real Life Science Fiction

F-35 JSF Distributed Aperture System (EO DAS)

This is a promotional video from the manufacturer, so we need to take it with a grain of salt. Still, it looks pretty impressive. I can see that this system could be very useful for a pilot, assuming they can make everything work as advertised. There is nothing really impossible about it, but making all the pieces work together and work reliably, that would take some work. I wouldn't be surprised if the software costs were half of the development budget.
