Description
Episode Summary:
In episode 193 of the Aerospace Advantage, Ready to Fight All Night: High-Tempo Airpower Generation, Heather “Lucky” Penney discusses how to maximize airpower sorties with Mitchell Institute Fellow Lt Col Gary “Plugger” Glojek, and Lt Col Matthew “Doubled” Jensen, the director of the experimental operations unit responsible for advancing Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) sortie generation and employment concepts.
If a conflict erupts in the Pacific, airpower capacity is going to be stretched to the limit. That’s why the Air Force needs to regain a numerical edge. Sustaining high tempo operations is going to be the key to victory. CCAs promise to be a large part of manifesting this vision, but buying these new aircraft at scale is only half the solution. The Air Force also needs to assess how it can maximize the number of sorties they fly. This demands a departure from historical fighter force generation, with a new plan assessing how to generate mass airpower at a higher tempo and with a higher acceptable level of risk. Hear important insights from two airmen who are actively in the mix working on this key challenge.
