LORENZ, USAF IR UNIVERSITY IS currently in the process of transforming for the “long war” and beyond. The idea of a university reorganizing for war Amay seem odd, but in the Western way of war, warriors and academics have always enjoyed a close relationship. The West’s first great gen­ eral, Alexander, was tutored by Aristotle, and when he went to war, he did so with academics in his train. According to noted military histo­ rian Victor Davis Hanson, the close relation­ ship between warriors and scholars in the Western way of war is one of the main reasons for its success across the millennia.1 In the US military, the connection between thinkers and fighters has become closer than ever, and ex­ ploiting this relationship to the fullest will prove key to winning the current war. Doing so, however, will require (1) understanding how military education differs from the tradi­ tional civilian model and (2) reorganizing our present system of military education to meet the emerging challenge. The Unique Nature of Military Education At its core, the US system of military educa­ tion does not differ significantlyfrom the civil­ ian system.

    U N I T E D S T A T E S A I R F O R C E COLONEL JEFFREY A. PHILLIPS Colonel Jeffrey A. Phillips is the Commander, 67th Cyberspace Wing, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. In this role Colonel Phillips leads more than 2,600 Airmen, civilians, and contract personnel across four operations groups with 19 squadrons at seven locations worldwide. He ensures the readiness and employment of Airmen to conduct network operations, defense, attack, and exploitation in service of the Air Force, combatant commands, and national agencies. The 67 CW develops, trains, exercises and tests information operations tactics, techniques and procedures; analyzes and mitigates U.S. cyberspace vulnerabilities; and integrates emerging information dominance capabilities for the warfighter. Operationally, the wing acts as Air Forces Cyber’s execution arm for generating, projecting, and sustaining combat power with the employment of the Network Attack System and the Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment/Hunt weapon systems. Colonel Phillips received his commission via Officer Training School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama in 1999, following six years of service as an enlisted Airman. He has served in various roles including command at the squadron level, and multiple major command and headquarters Air Force assignments. Prior to assuming his current assignment, Colonel Phillips was Chief of the Air Combat Command Information Warfare Division at Joint Base Langley Eustis, Virginia.

Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.
