Photographs of EO DAS?

[Kryptid]

Does anyone know where I can find photographs of the F-35 where the EO DAS sensors are easily visible? I'm curious to know what they look like from the outside when they are installed.

Apologies if this topic has been done already (didn't find one like it using the search function).

Are you referring to the outside windows for the apertures? You can find them on most photos of recent F-35's - they're located below the cockpit, either side of the lower fuselage, forward and aft of a little bulge between the intakes, and forward and aft of the cockpit.


Here's a quick little collage - each letter simply refers to a single aperture:

Yes, that's what I'm looking for.


Many thanks!

Its just a mockup, but might be of some use.

Keeping in mind thought that the EOTS =/= DAS, even if they are integrated into the same system.

As Dragon029 implied, that is an EOTS picture. EOTS is the long ranged IRST/FLIR on the F-35 and there is only one.

Here is the EODAS sensor and there are 6.

Ah, next time I should not read the request in a hurry
