The provided text outlines strategies for fighter integration in space-denied combat environments, acknowledging that modern airpower heavily relies on vulnerable space-based assets like GPS and SATCOM. It characterizes the threats to space superiority as a triad of kinetic, electronic, and cyber attacks, emphasizing the growing importance of non-destructive electronic warfare and cyberattacks. The document then details a multi-layered, resilient approach to three critical functions: communication, through airborne relays and LPI/LPD technologies; navigation, utilizing advanced Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) augmented by celestial, terrain, and vision-based methods; and targeting, employing stealthy onboard sensors like AESA radars and IRST, alongside non-GPS guided munitions. Finally, it discusses new operational concepts like the synergistic use of 4th and 5th generation fighters with Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCAs) to form a "kill mesh," highlighting the need for a doctrinal shift towards decentralized mission command and advanced human-machine teaming to manage the increased cognitive load on pilots.
