Mini Top Gun:

“At this next T-REX [Technology Readiness Experimentation exercise], we’ll be starting to host TOPGUN school,” said prototyping & experimentation director Alex Lovett. “We’re going to be playing Red versus Blue, their best [offense] coming after our best defense.”

The exercise will test not only individual offensive and defensive systems but the software, networks, and command structures coordinating them — including both human operators and artificial intelligence. The military concept is called the “passive and multi-spectral air-surveillance kill chain,” explained Lt. Col. Matt Limeberry, who runs the T-REX experiments at Camp Atterbury, Ind. (While he didn’t unpack the terminology, “passive” in this context usually refers to sensors that don’t actively emit energy, which usually means they have shorter range than “active” sensors but don’t give away their own position; “multi-spectral” implies a mix of different sensors picking up different things, such as acoustic, infra-red, and radar, and the using software to merge all the disparate data into one coherent picture.)

While notoriously tricky to control, these armed FPVs have proven remarkably effective on the battlefield — if the operator has the reflexes and the training to handle them.

Amen.

Auch wenn die Person Hegseth "polarisiert" muss man neidlos anerkennen, das er einen erstaunlich guten Job macht. Er schreckt nicht vor Kongress "Lieblingen" wie der A10 oder dem AH64 zurück. Die Modernisierung und Transformation der US Streitkräfte schreitet schneller voran als im Rest der Welt.
Keine Armee setzt die Lehren aus dem Ukraine Krieg so schnell um.
Nicht nur technologisch sondern auch strategisch, strukturell, taktisch bereiteten sich die USA auf die nächsten Kriege vor.
