Summary

“The Future” will tell the listener about new technologies in use and on the horizon that will better train the warfighter in combating 5^th Gen threats as well as better modeling joint interoperability. Topics will include datalinks and platform interoperability, low observable technology, space- and cyber-warfare in air combat, and the evolution of modeling technology. The episode and series will culminate with an unclassified description of LVC: what it is and how it works; how it mitigates the challenges discussed previously; and discussing how LVC not only provides better training, but that better training means all-live flight time is more profitably used.

Fight’s On! is an eight-episode series about combat aviation training focusing on how the U.S. takes newly minted (warrant) officers and molds them into combat aviators able to fight and win in today’s high-tech battlespace.

Told through the stories and experiences of U.S. military aviators in their own voices, Fight’s On! takes the listener on the journey of combat aviators from Initial flight training through advanced tactical training and multi-unit exercises, ultimately describing the current and near future systems and programs that will ensure American air dominance into the future.

Fight's On! is a production of Authentic Media in association with BVR Productions.
