The US is worried China or Russia may land its hands on an F-35, since Japan just lost one, albeit, at the bottom of the Ocean. Last night an F-35 disappeared and the hunt is on to find it! All those billions are at risk. How about installing a dead man's switch and det cord throughout its body to scatter its pieces throughout land, sea or air? A simple co-action between ejector chair and airframe would put to ease an unsurvivable airframe windfall for adversaries looking for pieces no bigger than a postage stamp at the bottom of some sea. If a heart stops longer than five seconds then boom. If the ejector seat is engaged then five seconds later boom. It's a no-fly zone and a no recovery issue. The F-35 is in pieces on land or in the sea. If you have a heartbeat no problem for the pilot. If it comes down on the wrong side of the line or just comes down, then Boom! Please eject before coming down in order to survive. An F-35 falling into the wrong hands is not worth the salvage or recovery but the pilot is always worth the recovery no matter what. Install a dead man's destruction switch after the pilot ceases in the F-35. Safeguards could be installed in order to protect those around the aircraft during secure positioning. Other words the det cord would not be engaged to explode unless several conditions exist at during the F-35's existence. Parked, serviced, or in operation, it could not explode ever unless certain conditions are met. The ejection seat is exploded out as intended, impact or water condition enveloping the airframe is detected, then boom! Ejection or death is needed (required) in order to save "life" from the boom when going off the grid!
If the pilot has stopped ceasing in the cockpit then Boom! Sorry China, Russia et al. You get F-35 pieces to play with. Anyways, secrets are part of our national defense.
