“The Threat” describes the nature of America’s aerial adversaries and how we simulate them. Host stories and experiences explain the concept and need for DACT and OPFOR while also discussing the changes over time in potential enemy aircraft, the surface-to-air threat, and our own Aggressor/Adversary aircraft including the declining ability of traditional Aggressor aircraft to model modern threats. Fight’s On! is an eight-episode series about combat aviation training focusing on how the U.S. takes newly minted (warrant) officers and molds them into combat aviators able to fight and win in today’s high-tech battlespace. Told through the stories and experiences of U.S. military aviators in their own voices, Fight’s On! takes the listener on the journey of combat aviators from Initial flight training through advanced tactical training and multi-unit exercises, ultimately describing the current and near future systems and programs that will ensure American air dominance into the future. Fight's On! is a production of Authentic Media in association with BVR Productions.
