This week, we assess what’s going on in our nation’s capital as elections grow near and the window for passing legislation is closing. We also discuss the SECAF’s announcement regarding weapons in space, plus his thoughts on the future of AI. Our team reviews the latest fighter aviation news–from F-35 combat readiness rates to the proposed F-16G. Experts then explain what’s going on with munitions–from FAM to JATM and JASSM. The EA-37 also takes center stage, with the retirement of the EC-130H. Last but not least, if Sun Tzu said, “Know thy enemy”, then why is the Air Force shuttering its China Aerospace Studies Institute?
