	Needles in the Haystack: Hunting Mobile Electronic Targets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		After all, the strike aircraft is nearby; and if it is being targeted, it can be assumed that the sensor is in the main beam and has a direct line of sight to the radar.
		To make the aircraft appear to have a velocity less than the filter velocity, or stay “in the notch,” the pilot of a strike aircraft flying at 540 knots must hold a heading (plus or minus three degrees) that is perpendicular to the direction from the aircraft to the radar (fig.
		This is an important improvement because strike aircraft have a very small time window in which to engage between the time a threat emits radar energy and reveals its position and before it packs up and drives away in less than 10 minutes.

	Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) - Military Aircraft
		The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is a multi-role fighter optimized for the air-to-ground role, designed to affordably meet the needs of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allies, with improved survivability, precision engagement capability, the mobility necessary for future joint operations and the reduced life cycle costs associated with tomorrow’s fiscal environment.
		The Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter X-35A successfully executed a series of airborne refuelings during its 10th flight, demonstrating the aircraft's flying qualities during refueling and paving the way for extended test flights.
		U.S., UK Defense Officials on Joint Strike Fighter Jet, U.S. Department of Defense, 17 January 2001 -- The United States and the United Kingdom signed an agreement on the Joint Strike Fighter military aircraft (JSF) at a ceremony January 17 at the Pentagon.

	VI - STEALTH AIRCRAFT: EAGLES AMONG SPARROWS?
		Thus while a stealth aircraft may be difficult to track when it is flying toward a ground-based radar or another aircraft at the same altitude, a high-altitude airborne radar or a space-based radar may have an easier time tracking it.
		One expert asserts "if an aircraft deviates from its surroundings by only one degree centigrade, you will be able to detect it at militarily useful ranges."(4) In fact, both the Russian MiG-29 and Su-27 carry IRST devices, which indicates that the Russians have long targeted this as a potential stealth weakness.
		Thus, "their" best aircraft is based on technology 11 years more modern than "ours." Secretary of Defense Cheney has recently voiced concern that this may apply to the fielding of stealth technology, and that 11 years after the F-22s IOC, for example, we will be facing a brand new Russian stealth fighter.

	F-14 Strike Fighter
		With the retirement of the venerable A-6 Intruder, the Navy needed a capable attack aircraft to serve during the transition to the follow-on strike platform.
		With the addition of the precision strike mission for F-14 aircrews, there was a shift in the emphasis of training; flight hours now have to be devoted to air-to-ground training as well as for air-to-air training.
		The strike enhancement program began in FY 1995 and completed in FY 2000, with 50 aircraft in FY 1998, 24 in FY 1999, and seven in FY 2000.

	B-3 Long Range Strike Platform
		The aircraft will utilize some level of low-observable technology to obtain an effective yet affordable aircraft which can provide for multiple/heavy weapons carriage and launch for missions requiring real time decision making/replanning or autonomous operations.
		Even though their capabilities overlap those of other strike weapon systems, cruise missiles have broadened the options available to commanders and have demonstrated that they are a viable strike capability in the absence of theater- or aircraft carrier-based strike aircraft.
		Therefore, most future strike aircraft may not require as long a range or as high a degree of stealth as originally planned.

	The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
		The US Navy had been working in secret on an advanced stealthy strike aircraft named the "A-12 Avenger II", but the program ran into financial trouble, and was cancelled shortly after going public in 1991.
		The USAF was also considering a next-generation strike aircraft and a replacement for the F-16, with the designation of "Multi-Role Fighter (MRF)".
		In the wake of the end of the Cold War, procurement funds for new combat aircraft were hard to come by, particularly because the Clinton Administration was determined to balance the budget while simultaneously conducting expensive military interventions all over the world.

		This aircraft was to have the ability to loiter on patrol for much longer times with substantially larger and more capable air-to-air missiles, and was to be able to meet and counter threats to the carrier group at much larger ranges.
		The F6D aircraft was considered by the Navy to be too costly and too specialized, and was thought to be too slow to be capable of defending itself once its missiles had been launched.
		This aircraft was delivered to the Air Force to be used by Detachment 3 of the Tactial Air Warfare Center at Mountain Home AFB in Idaho for operational test and evaluation.

		As the Pentagon admits that the Taleban leadership are legitimate targets, the entry of the AC-130 Spectre aircraft indicates that the conflict is at turning point.
		Raids have been made by up to 100 strike aircraft and bombers, 90% of which come from the aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean.
		The fact that the AC-130 is slower and flies lower than other strike aircraft would indicate that the threat from anti-aircraft systems has been greatly reduced and that a ground offensive is about to start.

	The SAAB 35 Draken
		This new aircraft was to have a speed of at least Mach 1.4; be able to operate off of specially-built sections of public roadway under the Swedish BASE 90 distributed airbase scheme; and was to be rugged, easily maintained, and cheap to operate.
		The only fundamental limitations of the type, common to jet aircraft of that era, were that it had limited range and endurance; and as a delta it had a relatively long takeoff run, since flaps could not be used with such a configuration.
		The upgraded aircraft were originally referred to "J35F Mod", but by the time the first of them were returned to service after their trip back to the factory, they were designated "J35Js", or "Johan".

		The aircraft's navigation system uses a laser gyro and a Global Positioning System to continuously monitor the aircraft's position and provide information to the central computer and other systems, including a digital moving map in both cockpits.
		It was the first U.S. operational aircraft whose engines' thrust exceeded the plane's loaded weight, permitting it to accelerate even while in vertical climb.
		Low-wing loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability and, combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing airspeed.
