Managed airborne intel system hits field

Managed airborne intel system hits field: "The Combat Track II system, has been in production since 2004. Over time it's become a real staple for the air mobility users for whom it's primarily intended, program officials noted.

Combat Track II allows crew aboard the air mobility fleet, as well as on some bombers, to maintain full awareness of friendly and potential hostile aircraft positions. It also alerts them to ground threats, including mobile surface-to-air missile sites.

'Combat Track II has continued to be praised by the users and is a critical asset for cockpit situational awareness and threat avoidance in theater,'"
