Doing Air Combat - Bring the Angry Kitten

[bigwheelzip]

For a military branch accustomed to intimidating naming conventions, giving platforms names like Strike Eagle, Fighting Falcon, Super Hornet, and Raptor, the "Angry Kitten" moniker is just hysterical. Meow.

I always liked the name for the 30mm GAU-8. The Avenger

The keys for combat aircrews are Communicate, Navigate and Aviate. Notice which one is first. GPS jamming is already a reality and that interferes with the second one as well as targeting. The implications for unmanned vehicles are the same. The person sitting at a desk controlling a Predator must have that communication. EMP can be your friend or foe.
