Contracted aggressors ? the USAF?s options | Combat Aircraft (http://www.combataircraft.net/2016/08/15/contracted-aggressors-the-usafs-options/)
Since they disbanded one of the Nellis based Aggressor Squadrons they have discovered the need for more adversary suppport hence they has issued a Request for Information (FRI) as it studies the possibility of increasing the use of contractor owned, contractor operated (COCO) adversary aircraft. Air Combat Command (ACC) is conducting an analysis of Adversary Air (ADAIR) capabilities to fill a ‘significant gap’ in its training requirements. The service reportedly suffered from a shortage of adversary 3,000 sorties at Nellis AFB, Nevada, during 2016 and that number is expected to rise as F-35 training ramps up.
cheers
