"When you can launch an austere airbase in a space capsule, that's frickin' awesome," says AF acquisition head Will Roper about the idea of suborbital transport spacecraft.
The ability to mix and match the current air fleet and the future one is significantly enhanced with EMALS, which will allow everything from F-35s to the fleet's future unmanned aircraft to take off and land aboard the new class of carriers.
Joint All-Domain Command & Control "will fundamentally change how we fight as a nation, and will change how we organize, train and equip," Air Force director of operational capabilities Maj. Gen. Dawn Dunlop says.
