This slideshow highlights the continuous and many amphib operations since 1991; as Secretary Gates tried to argue, the ARG was not all the useful; but this was just one more note to his misunderstanding of air and maritime power.
Airbus Military Market Overview 2012
These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012.
In this presentation, Antonio Rodriguez Barberan, SVP Commercial, provided an overview. The core point is the extensive reach of the company due to the legacy products and the coming into service of the A330 tanker and the A400M.
There are approximately 6300 aircraft currently in service of an average age of 27 years. And the AM products represent 10% of the current global inventory.
Aircraft have been sold to 136 customers worldwide in 65 countries.
AM has a 47% market share of the light and medium transport and ISR market. It will have 33% of the heavy lifter market with the A400M and will have 78% of the global market for tankers, excluding the U.S.
In this brief, I have put together some of the B-17 photos which I have purchased over the past three months to participate in and contribute to a B-17 ceremony in France in June 2013.
In this presentation to the press at the Airbus Trade Media Briefing, Jens Nielsen, Head of Unmanned Aerial Systems, provided an update on June 9,2014. This is the first presentation on UAVs at the Trade Media Briefing with the launch of the restructured Airbus Defense and Space.
In an interview with Second Line of Defense, Phil Coop of GlobeRanger (Fujitsu) explained how MRO reform is enabled by new logistical decision making capabilities leveraging sensor-based information.
Opening Remarks to Copenhagen Air Power Conference, April 2015ICSA, LLC
On April 17, 2015, a joint symposium on the evolution of airpower was co-sponsored by The Sir Richard Williams Foundation (Australia) and the Centre for Military Studies of the Department of Political Science of the University of Copenhagen.
Both organizations are partners with Second Line of Defense.
This was an unusual conference given that it launched an Australian effort to broaden the working relationship with non-Asian partners in shaping new approaches to airpower and was, in turn, the beginning of a broader intellectual outreach by the Danish Centre as well.
This briefing was the initial presentation by Dr. Gary Schaub of the CMS.
Col Orr on the Coming of the F-35 to the USMCICSA, LLC
Col. Mike Orr, the CO of VMX-22, recently attended The Williams Foundation conference held by the RAAF on the evolution of 21st century air combat capabilities. He focused on the work the UMSC was doing to shape an integrative force under the influence of disruptive change.
He followed the only Aussie F-22 pilot and then a presentation by his fellow Marine, Lt. Col. Berke, the only operational F-22 and F-35 pilot in the world.
This unique experience of three operators discussing the present and the future had a powerful impact It left the cubical commandos behind and clearly was well received by the Royal Australian Air Force officers in attendance, and there were many of them, as well The Chief of Staff of the RAAF began the conference with a thoughtful look at the way ahead.

This slideshow provides some basic parameters for the new class of amphibious assault ships being built in Mississippi.
New ships like the Ford and the America class with the new aviation and C5ISR assets on board are anchors to shaping new capabilities and new approaches.
As one senior Marine commented: "I think the ship with the new aviation assets is a game changer. You will put a 1.5 squadron aboard the LHA-6 and you will carry with them a significant deep strike capability and range with the F-35 Bravo. Then you can plus that up with other USMC assets such as the KC-130J or USAF tanker assets in support of Bravo and other aviation operations off of this ship. You will have a capability, which the ARG-MEU has never had of doing significantly deep air strikes."

Air Vice Marshal John Blackburn on 21st Century Force DesignICSA, LLC
In the last formal presentation of the Williams Seminar on air-sea integration, John Blackburn, the former Deputy Chair of the Williams Foundation and a past Deputy Chief of the RAAF, addressed the challenge of building from the ground up a truly integrated force. To do so, requires more than the significant efforts the services are each doing working to shape cross modernization; it required a new approach to force structure design.
He then announced that on 6 March 2017, the Foundation will run a one-day Seminar on the topic of Integrated Force Design, stepping beyond the focus on airpower, sea power and Land power to one of integrated power. He also announced the Foundations plan to run a case study Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) in order to explore how we could achieve an Integrated Force Design.
"We will explore a new way of working together at the integrated level and we intend to some analysis with force characteristics of this future integrated force. We aim to help the project officers think beyond their own projects to design in greater capability to leverage one another from the outset, from the design level. In fact, the challenge is ensure that the aperture is wide within individual projects to have the kind of interactive dynamic developments which a joint force design process can unleash. Unfortunately many projects often narrow the aperture to a replacement mindset in order to save time.
We want the project officers of individual projects to be able to say: "Okay, in my project as well as replacing what I had today, I've got to make sure that the capability I'm designing be a part of the future kill web rather than a force component networked or connected in an after-market after thought.
We see that as the main challenge and the opportunity to design the future force, integrated at birth."
In this briefing from Second Line of Defense, we take a look at the potential synergy among the operators of the F-35B.
The USMC, the UK, and Italy are already buying Bs with Singapore anticipated to join the B Club.
What synergies might be anticipated?

Brigadier Chris Mills on the future of Air-Land integrationICSA, LLC
The Australian Army perspective on the evolving framework for air-land integration under the impact of evolving technologies was provided at the Williams Foundation seminar by the current Chief of Staff of the Army, Lt. General Angus Campbell and by Brigadier General Chris Mills, Director General, Army Modernization.
The Chief of Staff clearly underscored that the land wars of the past decade are not the template for moving forward and saw the need and opportunity to shape new ways to integrate airpower with ground maneuver forces in providing for more effective capabilities in the contested battlespace.
The second was the reshaping of Army modernization to achieve the force envisaged by the Army Chief of Staff. Brigadier General Mills provided a hard hitting look at the Army and how the evolving force could shape a more distributed operational and decision-making force, one which he saw as providing for 21st century ground maneuver forces.
This briefing was what Mills presented at the seminar.
Dr. John Lee Presentation on PRC StrategyICSA, LLC
While attending the Williams Foundation Seminar on Air Combat Operations: 2025 and Beyond, Dr. John Lee of the Kokoda Foundation provided a base line brief on how to understand the Chinese challenge, military and non-military to the region.
The contribution of Aussie airpower and associated military capabilities was to be understood in both national and coalition terms as a contributor to deal with such challenges.
Dr. Lee highlighted several key elements of the PRC challenge, which were included in his presentation, which is provided here.
Air Commodore Roberton Looks Back at His Experience with the Australian Air T...ICSA, LLC
In this presentation made April 20915 a the RAAF Air Power Development Centre, the head of the air combat group looks back on his experience as the Commander of Air Task Group 630.Air Task Group 630 was rapidly established and deployed to the Middle East in September 2014 as Australia's air response to the threat to Iraq from the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) organization. The deployment was notable for being the first all-air power ADF task group to be deployed for kinetic operations in over a decade. Furthermore, it marks many milestone achievements for the Royal Australian Air Force, introducing three new aircraft weapon systems in combat operations for the first time: the F/A-18F Super Hornet, E-7A Wedgetail and KC-30A Air to Air Refueler.

General Preziosa on Partner Cooperation and Threat ManagementICSA, LLC
In October 2013, we interviewed the new Chief of the Italian Air Force, Lt. General Preziosa.
In this 2010, the then head of the Italian Air Force Training Command made a presentation before COMDEF 2010 in Washington DC on the future of transatlantic cooperation.
Some of the themes in this brief anticipated part of his October 2013 interview.
As part of our assessment of evolving PRC military capabilities, we have interviewed Rick Fisher, Jr., a leading expert on the PRC military. This brief is an excerpt of two longer briefs by Fisher and accompanies a Second Line of Defense interview.
The 36th CRG and Philippine Relief EffortICSA, LLC
The USAF has developed a unique force package called the crisis response group, which is designed to fly to the challenge of building infrastructure to allow for the throughput of airpower to follow. This is done for both Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief missions and to support military operatons.
In the recent Philippine relief effort, the USMC and the 36th CRG worked closely together at the Tacloban Air Base to put in place an infrastructure to support broader relief efforts, and then within two weeks left to allow the civil authorities to take full charge of the efforts.
In an interview we did with Col. James from AFPAC, the Col. highlighted the central role of the CRG in the USAF role in the Philippine relief effort.
“They deployed to Tacloban and worked to open up the airport to become capable of flowing in support capabilities. They had to set up air traffic control support; they had to work to extend the runway from 4500 feet to more than 8000, they worked with the Filipinos to make sure the kind of safety equipment we needed to maintain sortie rates was available to ensure safety and security. They also focused on getting in the machinery which can facilitate offloading of supplies.
Getting a forklift into play was important as well.”

In these slides, the basic structure of the 36th CRG is outlined along with some of its recent activities.
Key elements would include, being ISR and communications capable with an ability to operate as an airborne command center to support both security and defense operations.
The Italians have made significant, long-term commitments to the JSF program.
They accepted the challenge; more importantly they acknowledge it as a challenge. And are doing everything they can to lean forward as a country, both industry and government, to make both Italy and more importantly the JSF program successful.
SLD: Because the F-35 is a global program, what might be the impact of the Italian effort on others?
White: Japan is looking seriously at the Italian model and the possibility of setting up a FACO in Japan. They have already visited Italy to look at the approach and to think about a similar site in Japan.

The title of the Williams Foundation Seminar held on October 24, 2019 was “the requirements for fifth generation manoeuvre.” But those presentations which dealt with the industry and the government-industry relationship highlighted that the legacy approach to setting requirements which not deliver effectively fifth-generation manoeuvre capabilities.
The industrial-government eco system is evolving and that evolution needs to deliver cross-domain integration which requires government and industry to work together more effectively. And moving passed stove-piped platform acquisition and finding ways to shape Australian defense architectures which can subsume systems bought abroad within a more integrated Australian set of capabilities are two of the key tasks facing the Australian defense system.
The Deputy Secretary of the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group provided his perspective in his presentation to the Seminar.

The core GATR capability is really about rapid response.
In an article by Debra Werner of Space News published on December 5, 2017, the role of GATR was highlighted.
Cubic Corporation’s GATR satellite antennas continue to provide communications links for residents and community leaders in Puerto Rico more than two months after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory and nearby Caribbean islands.
Employees of GATR Technologies, part of Cubic Corporation’s Mission Solutions Division, were in the U.S. Virgin Islands working to reestablish communications in the wake of Hurricane Irma, when Help.NGO’s Disaster Immediate Response Team and Cisco Systems’ Tactical Operations Team called for assistance in Puerto Rico.
Victor Vega, GATR Technologies director of emerging solutions, and his colleagues packed inflatable satellite antennas in suitcases and brought them to areas of Puerto Rico where hurricane-force winds and fallen trees had dismantled the terrestrial communications infrastructure.
