The F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office, in partnership with Lockheed Martin, achieved a major milestone in the path to dump the ALIS centralized

"Unlike ALIS, intellectual property and data components of ODIN will be government-owned, not contractor-owned, and data sovereignty will not be an issue."
"The plan is to have ALIS completely replaced and ODIN achieving FOC (Final Operational Capability) by December 2022. However, the first squadron is about to divorce from it already.
The first hardware for ODIN, was already delivered to U.S. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, Arizona, where, on Sept. 29, 2020, Marines completed the loading of a single squadron of F-35Bs on the new modernized hardware. Later that day, the USMC flew the first flight supported by the new hardware and flew four more flights the following day. Interestingly, the new modern hardware is running also the most current version ALIS."
"ODIN’s new hardware brings numerous improvements to ALIS. Immediately obvious is its reduced size. While existing ALIS servers comprise of a full person-height rack of electronics and require additional backup power modules, the ODIN-enabled hardware fits within two transportable cases – roughly the size of two pieces of carry-on luggage. This smaller ‘footprint’ also brings significant weight reduction – from more than 800 lbs. for an ALIS server, to two modules each weighing under 70 lbs. for ODIN.
ODIN hardware also brings significant performance improvements while running ALIS. Performance testing of ODIN showed a reduction in the administrative workload and significantly reduced processing times compared to fielded ALIS servers (>50% decrease) – reducing the maintainers’ workload by making system interactions quicker. The testing also demonstrated a significant reduction in the time required to configure the system for use in a new environment and transfer aircraft."
"Although the test that validated the new ODIN hardware was successful, much will have to be done in the next months to complete the migration from the 20-year old ALIS to the new system."
