At the moment the F35 isn’t even able to fuse the data from its own sensors. So much for being net-centric. Maybe in a distant future.

F22 can’t even share data, if I’m not mistaken it can only receive, unless it’s been updated. So much for being net-centric.

Talon HATE development is wrapping up and in flight test.

Part of the price you pay for not announcing your position with Link 16. The available bandwidth on the current NATO data links is too limited for the sheer amount of information shared between F-22’s, or a flight or -35’s via IDFL or MADL. A flight of four F-35’s networked will share the combined information of all thier sensors. With that type of complexity, is it really suprising that there have been bugs? Pilots have been reporting fewer false returns, better software stability.
