More than 1,200 military and civilian experts from 41 countries will begin Combined Endeavor 2006 on May 12 in Germany and Bosnia, marking the largest security cooperation and communications military exercise in the world. “The exercise is creating the future of military communications worldwide and is a clear demonstration of true phase-zero warfighting,” said Air Force Brig. Gen. Thomas Verbeck, director of US European Command’s international interoperability, concepts, and experimentation directorate.
The F-47 fighter will be run differently than previous fighter programs and share the same mission systems architecture as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin told the Senate Armed Services Committee. That means advances in one will fuel advances in the other.
