The Air Force’s top officer wants to conduct a tactical air study in the coming months to assess what mix of new and legacy aircraft is most fitting for the service, he said Feb. 17.
Through the study, the service will perform "analysis to show what is the right mix, not only in capability, but also in numbers to make sure we are going to be successful in the future conflicts,†said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles “CQ†Brown. “That requires some modeling and simulation and analysis and that's what I plan to do here over the upcoming months.â€
There is a need for fifth-generation capability, next-generation air dominance programs, and a mix of other capabilities in order to remain competitive against adversaries, Brown told reporters during a Defense Writer's Group meeting.
