Li...The phrase is "confirm assumptions."<br /><br />Literally, we do not test we "confirm assumptions"<br /><br />It goes back to the JCIDS process where this new piece of equipment is required to fill this validated capabilities gap, and if it fails then there goes your requirement for this new piece of equipment and then your piece of equipment. Thus we "confirm assumptions" instead of testing operating concepts in conjunction with acquisition of new material.USMC 0802https://www.blogger.com/profile/08575800617871827503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-48702996496261239872014-12-10T04:48:05.217-08:002014-12-10T04:48:05.217-08:00A pair of fighters attacking a destroyer is better...A pair of fighters attacking a destroyer is better than nothing.<br />But if you want real results, you would have a pair of full carrier battle groups engaged in a simulated battle.<br /><br />At the end of the day, a pair of fighters attacking a Burke can only really be done if the Burke knows when(ish) the attack is going to happen and the fighters know where (ish) the attack will occur.<br /><br />And really that's the hard bitTrThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316335177828136131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-75114091598966332552014-12-09T20:51:59.839-08:002014-12-09T20:51:59.839-08:00Trons Away, I'm not talking about simple track...Trons Away, I'm not talking about simple tracking exercises. I'm talking about all out attacks using large numbers of aircraft with co-ordinated ECM, decoys, and whatever other aids an attacker might use combined with realistic attack tactics. <br /><br />Further, I directed this post specifically to the use of F-22/35s. Unless you have specific knowledge of these aircraft being used for this purpose, I'll continue to assume that it hasn't been done.ComNavOpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669644332369727431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-23196097421511639892014-12-09T19:08:05.762-08:002014-12-09T19:08:05.762-08:00This type of training is done regularly (2-3 times...This type of training is done regularly (2-3 times per week) during work-ups and deployment, including multiple axis strikes, hi low profiles, and electronic attack against a CG or DDG.<br /><br />Aviators will often helo over to the surface ship to observe these events as the AEGIS can provide good insight as to how modern adversary systems will perform against various tactics.Trons Awayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047296879125469643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-70714828220169432262014-12-09T18:02:40.631-08:002014-12-09T18:02:40.631-08:00totally agree. the lack of real world experimenta...totally agree. the lack of real world experimentation has gone the way of the dodo bird in the US military. instead of coming up with concepts and then testing them, we see concepts, agreement that its the best thing since ice cream and then we see them being put into the fleet and no one knows what to do with it.<br /><br />MLP is the perfect example with at least half the production run being converted to floating bases for SOCOM instead of their original mission.Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980277484445749796noreply@blogger.com
