Integrated Operational Data Integrated Network operating data network (ODIN) has advantages over the autonomous logistics information system Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), reports Breaking Defense, referring to the Pentagon.
The publication reminds that the fifth generation fighters are currently F-35 Lightning II instead of Alis receive ODIN. According to the US Defense, the ODIN base kit is 30 percent cheaper, 75 percent less and 90 is easier than in the case of Alis. One of the main differences of the first of the second is called cloud technologies in Odin, allowing developers to promptly add software updates. The disadvantages of the new system are called its big openness, which theoretically increases the risks of unauthorized access.
The publication says that, probably, the United States and the United Kingdom will benefit the use of Odin in front of other “resistant allies.” “While the secret parts of the device [fighter] of each country are classified, it has long been suspected that the US and Great Britain aircraft have the opportunities that other countries cannot boast. And providing other countries with the ability to view data on planning, flight and maintenance of your aircraft. It may be excessive even for faithful allies, “writes the publication.
In January 2020, Reuters reported that the F-35 Lightning II fighter Alis will be replaced by ODIN. The reason for the replacement of ALIS is called numerous problems with the implementation concerning, in particular, compatibility and excessive complexity of the software operation. Odin, like Alis, will provide, in particular, operational information on the technical condition and combat efficiency of the fighter, as well as logistics data on access to components for its maintenance and repair.
