Force-Multiplier for the F-15C: The Joint Tactical Information Distribution System Data Link (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249834731)

The Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) data link for the F-15C is a force-multiplier for the year 2000 and beyond. The Department of Defense must commit the funds to this critical program now. It will enable the USAF to gain and maintain air superiority over enemy airspace even with the dwindling numbers of airframes left in the inventory. The operational F-15C is over 20 years old and has had many major upgrades to the basic platform to extend and enhance its superiority over any potential opponent. The USAF must be allowed to purchase JTIDS for its F-15C's to preserve air superiority over future battlefields. The critical operational issues that must be addressed when evaluating an upgrade as a force-multiplier are: is mission effectiveness increased, is situational awareness increased, is mutual support enhanced, and is it interoperable with other C4I systems?
