Harvest the Best: Leave the Rest § No PlaQorm Fights Alone; § “Tron Warfare” as Increasingly Important Element;
§ UAVs are Not the Future of Airpower: They Are Part of the Future; • They need more realis3c opera3onal proof of concept tes3ng; • UAV vs Kine3c Killers, “tron” warriors; EW, EMP, Cyber AXacks; • They are data links in space.

Leaning Forward • An S-‐Cubed Revolu3on is Fast Approaching;
• Sensors-‐ Stealth-‐Speed • ADA on land and sea is becoming a very effec3ve military response; § The F-‐35 as Part of Airpower Transforma3on Will Drama3cally Change Concepts of Opera3ons
§ Fusion Cockpit will Put Increased Emphasis on Pilot’s “Decide Act” in OODA Loop
§ Especially with Shared Mission Data § Ac3ve/Passive sensing will be added to opera3onal combat mission planning in big way
§ Tac3cal AC with strategic capabili3es § Training Ranges and Exercises (Red Flag) will give US and Allies Probably a 10-‐year Lead on Adversaries.

Lessons Learned: MCAS Yuma
• F-‐35 is really an F/A/E-‐ 35; • In a ground aXack mission the cockpit display gave the pilot a constant read out of AA and GA threats-‐“EW was but a buXon away;”
• F-‐35 B with MV-‐22 will change USMC’s ability to execute “inser3on and withdrawal” forces globally.

Lessons Learned: Nellis
• Mission Data set is cri3cal and USAF knows it; • Red Flag can eventually mix and match friendlies and aggressor threats playing off F-‐22/F-‐35 and Legacy aircraf;
• Russia and PLAAF cannot do this – They have no low observable aircraf with a 360 degree Fusion Cockpit.

Lessons Learned: NAS Fallon
• Live Virtual Construc3ve Range at Fallon will allow the complexi3es of a modern baXlefield to both be inclusive and wide ranging;
• The USS Gerald Ford will drama3cally change C&C for US and Allies-‐17 spaces for “cyber” configura3on and reconfigura3on as tac3cal situa3on develops;
• Reach not Range-‐Aegis and SSG(N) working together.

Prac3cal Consequences
• Signal to global industry on individual and synergis3c R&D focus;
• Global weapons compe33ve consor3ums will be mo3vated in R&D;
• Air BaXle “management” will shif drama3cally with growing pains;
• OODA same concept different applica3on.

Conclusions
• Countless evolu3onary and revolu3onary aspects of 21st Century combat will be in the hands of the Squadron Pilots –as it should be!
• Re-‐Norming of Airpower significantly underway.
