What you'll learn
- Europe’s ability to operate combat aircraft in contested airspace cannot be measured by counting anti-radiation missiles or the aircraft nominally assigned to the mission.
- Suppression of enemy air defences is produced by a chain that begins before a weapon is released and continues long after a platform has entered service.
- Emissions have to be collected and characterised, threat and mission data validated, software and countermeasures updated, aircraft and effectors integrated, and every change tested and accepted without introducing unacceptable risks elsewhere in the weapon system.
