Some 400 airmen, soldiers, sailors, marines, and Canadian airmen are conducting joint training in air-to-ground support at Avon Park, Fla., for Atlantic Strike V. The US Central Command Air Forces semi-annual training event, which ends today, provides an opportunity to integrate USAF’s Remotely Operated Video Enhancement Receiver (ROVER) data into operations conducted by USAF joint terminal attack controllers and Army joint fires observer teams, reports SSgt. Amanda Savannah. Some of the training takes place in Avon Park to provide an urban setting, but the director of Atlantic Strike V, Maj. Raymond Brennan said that activities would be “transparent to most citizens.”
Anduril and General Atomics will develop their Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the Air Force, beating out Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the service announced on April 24. But any of the non-selected companies can compete to actually manufacture the eventual design, the Air Force said.
