During the biennial military exercise Pitch Black, fighter jets get most of the attention. However, airpower capability does not just involve fighters but depends on many things, such as platforms that can provide an early warning of enemy aircraft

Exercise Pitch Black is a biennial three-week multi-national large force employment exercise mainly conducted in and over the Northern Territory.

12 US Marine Corps F-35Bs—normally based in Japan—will be deployed to Australia and, while in Australia, will be practising a US Marine Corps concept known as ‘Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations’.

The role of middle managers, once desired, is increasingly sandwiched by achieving the executive bottom line and balancing the rapidly changing employee expectations, all within a challenging and deteriorating economic environment.

In a show of its enduring capability, at least two USAF B-52H Stratofortress bombers are deployed to RAF Fairford, the UK, for another rotation through Europe.

Due to its relatively rapid development and modular design, Australia’s Ghost Bat could be “a risk-reduction mechanism” for the drone component of America’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) system systems.

For years data centres have been set up in Eire, but the Irish grid can no longer support them.

Sixteen nations are currently participating alongside Australia in Exercise Pitch Black. The biennial exercise aims to enhance interoperability and develop strong relationships between participating military forces.

The war in Ukraine is making many nations rethink their protection and security, and many have their eyes firmly on the F-35 joint strike fighter.

Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters will join Australian stealth F35A’s in simulated dog fights with regional partners day and night.
