Firepower 2000 - Digital Dogfight (Full Frame)

DVD, MADACY

Distant Battles in Electronic Skies "He who controls the skies wins the battle, "and, according to air power advocates, that adage will remain true into the 21st Century. There was a time when a pilot had to see his opponent in battle, but today's dogfights take place at distances well beyond visual range. Seeing today takes place electronically, and the view is precise and detailed. The new weapons of choice are smart bombs and missiles guided by lasers, infrared and radar. They are all coordinated by sophisticated computer-driven air and space-borne reconnaissance and control systems that are not only the eyes, but also the brains of the modern air battle. Revel in the dramatic coverage of the latest in fighter designs, including the American F-22 Raptor, the Russian Su-35, the European Rafale, Gripen and Eurofighter 2000. Examine the future of AWACS command center and advanced missiles, and explore new design concepts such as the X-31 high-maneuverability test-bed and the futuristic JAST strike aircraft. Explore the demands this new technology will make on the pilots of tomorrow's Digital Dogfight. Scene Selection. Badges, Military Acronyms, Fact Files, Trivia Quiz.
