The Maritime Services, the Allies and Shaping the Kill Web

“LVC affords you that environment where you can do the very high-end warfare in an environment where you
are not going to be observed. And you can integrate with your surface counterparts; you can integrate with
your Air Force counterparts.

“That linkage is going to be phenomenal. Because now we’ll be able to go from F-22s, Air Force F-35,
anything else they want to throw in the mix, all the way to AEGIS Baseline 9. And some of those can be live
and some can be virtual.

“And we can go execute. I think that’s exciting.

Hornets attached to the Naval Aviation Warfighter Development Center (NAWDC) fly over Naval Air Station Fallon’s (NASF) Range Training Complex. VFA
101, based out of Eglin Air Force Base, is conducting an F-35C cross-country visit to NASF. The purpose is to begin integration of F-35C with the Fallon Range
Training Complex and work with NAWDC to refine tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) of F-35C as it integrates into the carrier air wing. (U.S. Navy

“When you can have a submarine launch a simulated TLAM that’s being tasked to them by a MOC
somewhere else, that gets a real-time update from an actual F-35 flying on the range, that is seeing that the
target that you thought was at point A has now moved to point B and you go back through the MOC to go
through the firing unit to give that TLAM an updated target, that is powerful.”

Throughout the interview and in earlier conversations with the Admiral, the evolving man-machine relationship
as a foundational element was discussed in several ways.

The CNO has highlighted the importance of enhancing the ability to leverage the man-machine relationships,
notably with regard to preparing and executing high tempo and high intensity operations.

Nothing ever fully substitutes for time in the air. Consequently, the evolving ability to meld flight simulator
training beyond the traditional emergency procedures or simulating mission flying is now being developed as
a dynamic “man-machine” learning process.

The engagement process of content learning essentially is shaping how does a pilot and aircrews react to the
speed-of-light dynamic flow of information in combat can be captured by both performance on the “range”
and by the procedures followed in the cockpit.
