Bringing together national security professionals and aerospace power talent to provide insight that supports America’s global interests.

[Rep. August Pfluger @RepPfluger]

Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury demonstrated the strength of American Airpower.

I sat down with General @Deptula_David with the @MitchellStudies to discuss how these missions executed through stealth fighters, penetrating bombers, and sensor-shooter RPAs achieved air superiority and the lessons learned for the future.

Future combat AI isn’t just about flying aircraft autonomously — it’s about mission autonomy. In this discussion on Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), leaders break down why integrating humans into AI-driven teaming will define the next generation of airpower.

How will pilots command AI teammates in combat?

What happens when warfighters join the design process from the very beginning?

Instead of waiting until the end of development, the Air Force is bringing operators into prototyping earlier than ever to build capabilities faster and smarter for the battlefield.

This shift could change how military technology is built.
