Reorganizacija, imace tri tipa wingova.

Citat:
Now the Air Force is pushing forward with what Spain described as a spiral development process to divide the service into three kinds of combat wings, which will allow different units to lean into their mission areas and have a clearer sense of the resources they need. It will also telegraph to the Joint Staff, who call for missions and deployments, just how much capacity the service has to meet its needs.

The first of the three new unit categories are the deployable combat wings, or DCWs, Spain said. He compared the structure of the future DCWs to Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which houses three deployable fighter squadrons and an array of support units under the 366th Fighter Wing.

"In a place like Mountain Home, you have all the resources required at your disposal," Spain said. "The entire wing is under a common [command-and-control] structure, a base support element; it is intended to pick up and go in its entirety as a unit of action."

Resourced and trained for forward missions, the deploying wing leaves little behind when it goes, Spain said.

By contrast, he said, the combat generation wings, or CGWs, will have deployable elements, but won't be designed or equipped for mass movements like the DCWs. Spain likened CGWs to Travis Air Force Base, Calif., which has a variety of deployable squadrons, but not an overarching wing with the command-and-control structure those units need in theater. They'll need to "plug in" to a command-and-control system as designated by the supervising commander when they get downrange.

"The beauty of the combat wings is … going to Europe, or to the Pacific, or to CENTCOM or to Africa, it's designed to fit into any C2 structure and fall in on the prevailing command-and-control apparatus," Spain said.

The third kind of wing – the in-place combat wing, or ICW, will never deploy, Spain said. He likened ICWs to Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, home to the 341st Missile Wing, which maintains the LGM-30 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.

"You're going to execute your missions from home station," Spain said. "You're not going to deploy; you'll need a different set of resources to be able to operate."

The location and composition of the three kinds of wings across the force has yet to be determined by Air Force leaders. Once that process is complete, said Brig. Gen. David Epperson, the deputy chief of staff for Air Force Operations and the director of Current Operations, the service will be able to determine the resources needed to sustain each kind of unit.

Јел постоји неки званични термин на српском за Elephant Walk?
Citat:Traditions are traditions.
Sometimes incomprehensible, but it’s a fact.


On April 10, another “Elephant Walk” took place at the American Kadena Air Base, located on the Japanese island of Okinawa, in which a large number and variety of types of US Air Force aircraft took part.

It is reported that the “walk” was timed to coincide with the arrival at the airbase of F-16C and F-22 fighters, which will replace the F-15C and F-35A. [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]

Razmisljaju o poboljsanju zastite od malih dronova cak i u kontinentalnoj Americi. U Severnoj Karolini u jednoj od dve baze u kojima se nalaze F-15E hoce da nadograde postojece nastresnice kako bi zaustavile dronove iz grupe 1 i 2.



Citat:"Problem Statement: Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (s-UAS) disrupt airfield operations and agencies have limited response capabilities due to restrictions on counter measures posed by the Federal Aviation Administration (Section 130i, Title 10, USC)," the notice says. We will come back to that latter point.

"The requirement: Build a passive barrier that will prevent a Group 1 or Group 2 sUAS from making physical contact with an F-15E Strike Eagle using commercial off the shelf material," it adds.

The requirements for the proposed anti-drone barriers at Seymour Johnson include that it "needs the strength to stop [a] 55lb drone traveling at 125 mph [nearly 109 knots]" and that "any space/gaps in material or design should not exceed six inches."

How exactly the barriers might be emplaced is not entirely clear, but mention is made of existing flight line shelters with simple canvas covers, suggesting that this would be add-on protection for those structures.

Boing pravi novu fabriku za proizvodnju borbenih aviona.

Citat:The 110-acre tract on the southeast corner of St. Louis Lambert International Airport is supposed to give rise to the $1.8 billion Brownleigh project, a highly secure Advanced Combat Aircraft Facility to assure Boeing’s combat aircraft future for the coming decades. The Phase 1 plan calls for a three-bay, 979,000-ft.2 final assembly building and a 94,550-ft.2 radar cross-section test site, according to filings Boeing submitted to local government offices.
