I'm curious what the logistics of AI on an aircraft looks like. Do they run the GPUs/etc. onboard adding weight and power consumption (is that an issue?), or stream the instructions to the craft (making it vulnerable to jamming and delays)?

With fuel an F-35 is like 40000 pounds so a 30 pound AI computer would be less than one-tenth of a percent weight increase. Even if it's several computers for some reason, the amount of fuel on board is probably going to make vastly more difference.
