thing other than training missions. Lack
of this system prevents the aircraft from
countering low band radar threats, such
as anything newer than SA-6 surface-to-air
missiles. That means the aircraft could not
penetrate a hostile electronic countermeasures
(ECM) environment. This fact could
be critical to its use in a future conflict.

Infrared Systems for Tactical Aviation: An Evolution in
Military Affairs?
Understanding how the chaotic evolutionary development of infrared (IR) systems for tactical aviation
compares to the more traditional development of radar systems could result in flexible development
systems that more easily adapt to uncertain security conditions.
Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama
he concept of using natural evolution
to understand how modern organizations
adapt to a chaotic, rapidly changing
world situation is popular in the business
world. This research examines whether the
chaotic evolutionary development model
T
is pertinent to the U.S. military's ability
to adapt to prevailing national security
conditions in the twenty-first century. In
particular, it examines the evolutionary
development of infrared (IR) systems for
tactical aviation to understand how the
