For the Air Force, the only answer to this problem is complete superiority in the air. You've got to be dominant. Information management Military strategists took information delivery and management very seriously when designing the next century fighter plane to replace the F-15 as America's front line air dominance fighter. In addition to the latest technological gains in low observables, avionics, materials, engine performance and aerodynamic design, the aircraft of the future needed to possess a superior information delivery system rivaled by no other. Like some futuristic artificial intelligence that once existed only in the imagination, the F-22 collects, processes and delivers vital information at the exact moment it is needed by the pilot.
Information is what is going to be the key to success on the battlefield.
As a result, F-22 pilots will need to be trained as thoroughly in managing information as they are in flying. It demonstrates what is possible when human potential is integrated into the aircraft.
