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.
Data/command center in sea/highway containers.
War/terrorist hardened.
Bullet and blast proof.
Earthquake/hurricane resistant.
Self-reliant.
Forensic friendly.
Rapid deployment and decommissioning.

In this briefing, we take a look at the B-17 before and during World War II. The briefing has been prepared for a ceremony in the Summer of 2013 for a bomber crew shot down over France on July 4, 1943
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert's World Affairs Brief covering the Navy Today and Tomorrow status slides, the AP Rebalance, Platforms; MLP, AFSB, LCS, JHSV, Zumwalt class destroyer, Autonomous vehicles; Fire Scout, X-47B UCAS, and the LaWS Laser Weapon System.
Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert spoke to international thought leaders, defense academia and media May 19, 2014 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies about the U.S. Navy Asia-Pacific rebalance and used the following slide presentation as a visual aide during the discussion.
Dr. Laird Brief to EAG 4th-5th Generation Integration ForumICSA, LLC
The 2016 two-day 4th 5th Generation Integration Information Forum was held at the home of the EAG, RAF High Wycombe, at the end of April 2016. With national 5th Generation aircraft programs maturing and the need to integrate 4th and 5th generation aircraft into future coalitions acknowledged the forum is providing a vital conduit to keep information flowing between both EAG nations and external partners and increase the awareness of nations about the challenges to come.
The first day saw experts from academia and industry set the scene with their interpretation of the technological and political developments that are going to shape the future of air power and more specifically the challenges of integrating 4th and 5th generation multi-national air forces into that vision.
The second day opened the floor to a discussion between the individual EAG nations present, Tactical Leadership Program (TLP), Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC); European Union Military Staff (EUMS) and the USAF that was being represented for the first time at an EAG 4th 5th Generation Forum.
The debate focused on the specific challenges being experienced at a national program level whilst also providing an overview of the future Air Force compositions.
The identification of the common challenges being experienced with this cutting edge evolution of the approach to, and employment of, air power is key to the development of future collaborative solutions. National representatives were able to take away key areas for further consideration and investigation that when resolved will be fundamental to enhancing interoperability between the nations.
The 4th 5th Generation Integration Information Forum will continue to provide a crucial communication channel between the EAG nations as the next generation of combat aircraft are brought into service in Europe.

The kick-off briefing was provided by Dr. Robbin F. Laird of Second Line of Defense.
BVR combat was, for a long time, dream of both Western and Asian air forces. Today, it seems that the dream has been finally fulfilled; but is that really so?
The F-35 is designed to work with most legacy weapons.
And the F-35 with the internal fusion engine will allow a whole new approach to the development and use of weapons. Here the focus is upon the legacy weapons.
Legacy 4th generation fighters must load all of their weapons externally which directly impacts aerodynamic performance (agility) and radar cross-section (RCS).
In fact, any strides made to reduce airframe RCS are lost.
5th generation have the option of loading stores internally.
Legacy 4th gen fighters must carry external fuel tanks in order to overcome the drag penalty of the external ordinance.
The F-35 does not need external fuel tanks for two reasons:
1) the airframe was specifically designed to carry significant amounts of internal fuel and,
2) there is no aerodynamic drag from internal ordinance.
A 4th gen fighter is unable to safely penetrate denied airspace. This is airspace for which the threats are able to dominate entirely against the 4th generation.
5th gen fighters are able to penetrate denied airspace.
The internal ordinance of an F-35 is approximately that of an F-16 loaded “wall to wall.”
Because the weapons are internal, the F-35 has a much longer combat range fully loaded or significantly longer loiter time in the area of interest.
In the permissive environment, the F-35 holds another advantage over the F-16: payload.
The F-35 has 11 hard points and can carry about three times the stores load.
External weapons on an F-35 impact aerodynamic performance such that our range is about the same as an F-16.
The picture in slide 4shows an F-35A model with a full compliment of internal stores.
This loadout, which is all internal, is about 5000lbs.
Internal carriage means ZERO impact on radar cross section and ZERO aerodynamic drag.
An F-16, fully loaded, with external stores carries just over 5000lbs and because the load is external the radar cross sections is severely impacted as well as having a significant hit to aerodynamic performance.
The weapons within the blue cone can be carried internally.
The weapons with orange color font will be certified for carry in the SDD phase of the program.
Block 2 weapons carriage and release will be conducted this year.
By the end of block 2, AIM-120 and JDAM will be certified.
On day 1, when stealth is of primary importance, the F-35s will probably be loaded internally.
When stealth is less important, there are 11 hard points on the airplane, which allow about 18,000lbs of ordinance to be carried.
F-35, Stealth and Designing a 21st Century Fighter from the Ground UpICSA, LLC
Stealth must be designed into the aircraft; it can NOT be done after the fact.
VLO stealth must be planned for and built in. The designers must incorporate large internal fuel tanks, internal weapon bays, and internally mounted sensors with appropriate apertures.
Another hallmark of 5th generation is agility, which goes hand in hand with stealth.
In the third slide, the results from Northern Edge 2011 are shown. Although the F-35 airframe has not been flown in Northern Edge some it sensors have been.
The sensors performed extremely well and portend a bright future. It is understood by most that the electronic order of battle will play a key role in future conflicts.
What the exercise showed was that a stealthy 5TH Gen. fighter -- the F-22 -- with its ability to be forward deployed in contested air space
In addition to its precision active and passive sensors were able to ID threats; EW sites, SAMS, AAA radars for entire package much sooner.
The presence of 5th Gen fighters in the force package increases overall forces mission effectiveness by enhancing survivability and lethality for entire package.
It showed as well that 5th Gen fighters enhanced battle-space awareness enhanced overall mission effectiveness of entire mission package
And finally, the exercise showed that 5th Gen fighters with this enhanced SA tend to function as Air Battle manager for entire package.
Even when F-22 was weapon bingo it stayed in fight as battle manager!
Combat Systems Fusion Engine for the F-35ICSA, LLC
Michael Skaff of Lockheed Martin and the Principal Engineer for the F-35’s pilot vehicle interface explains the combat systems and their integration in the F-35. This capability is inherent in every F-35 or part of the baseline aircraft. In a real sense software development is never done; it is part of the evolving capability of the aircraft.
