Just posted a story about Bold Quest 09, a USJFCOM capability assessment that will test the ability of air assets to identify ground assets in the hope of mitigating friendly fire incidents. The exercise runs from Oct. 27-Nov. 5, and we’ll be providing constant coverage throughout. See the story here.




Have you thought about the issues of Spectrum on the battle field as it pertains to development of MODE 5 and have you invited some of their developers, to see if concepts could be played or simulated to understand impacts given the (as-is vs. the to-be) model once these systems come into play.
Army, Air Force, and Navy systems development need to be exercised other wise a missed chance to test or develop a realistic set testing scenarios.
Wish I could come and visit as see how SFARs developed by the FAA can effect outcomes in Iraqi or Afghanistan Airspace. Has anyone thought about that?
Let me know?
