“Our HAVOC team works with the USAF Weapons School in the Weapon School Integration phase which runs
about a month.
“If you want to think of it in the college realm, this is a 400-level class.

“And we’re seeing the Growler used differently by the Air Force than we would probably use it in the Navy.

“That cross-pollination has been extremely useful for both the services.”

Second, the F-35 is a very different type of combat aircraft and it would be good to see pairings of that
aircraft with Advanced Hawkeye and the Growler to shape the evolution of information dominance
operations, as a very clear outcome of working these advanced platforms together to deliver evolving
combat capabilities.

“I would like to have advanced Hawkeyes, F-35s and Growlers all here so that we can work integrated TTPs
to shape a more effective way ahead for the operational capability of the fleet.”

“I would like to get those type model series weapons and tactics instructors cross-pollinated even more, so that
the classes and the courses are integrated more fully than they are now.

“We’ll have to find different ways to do that because of the Navy’s carrier cycle; we are not resourced to be
able to do an air wing and do full Weapons and Tactics Instructor classes at the same time.

“We have to keep those separated. I’d like to move closer to the USAF model, but we don’t have that
flexibility because of the carrier operational cycle.”

One way NAWDC will expand its work on integrated warfare is by being able to use new facilities being
built right now that will integrate the platform simulators and allow for integrated training and operational
thinking at NAWDC.
“We are building an integrated training facility.

“We’re going to have all of our simulators under one building, under one common security environment, so that
we can do planning, briefing, execution, and debriefing all under the same security umbrella with the full
team.
