The F-35 will eventually join the already operational F-22 Raptor, an equally stealthy air-supremacy fighter that currently is outperforming all comers.
Nothing on the planet can see the F-22, much less outfight it. But when the F-35 comes online, the two will literally dominate the skies.
The F-35 will be able to see virtually hundreds of airplanes at distances far exceeding the scope of previous fighter systems. Tracking distances are classified, but the new aircraft's sight range is said to be twice that of existing fighters (about 40 miles in every direction for existing aircraft).
The pilot may pick and choose what targets to engage first, and his onboard tracking systems will actually make recommendations.

"A pilot in the F-35 cockpit will focus more on being a tactician and less on things like keeping the airplane airborne and going in the right direction."
