Can you imagine this on a loitering Global Hawk? Scary. :)

This is beginning to sound like an oversell. Not that it isn't feasible, but that some network-centric maniac has no sense of practicality.
Seems like we might see mission compromises for the radar task if we load this extra job onto it.

Hey, Sand, should we look into transferring into another division of the company? This looks like fun...!

Oh yes it looks like fun! We each have sons that would be extremely jealous of us doing that though.

Oh yes. We hear you.
And see you.

Yes, but can they reconfigure it to emit a tachyon pulse?

It also means that the F/A-22 aircraft will immediately have a key role in network-centric warfare and in the future could be able to affect enemy communications by collecting their signals and inserting false or confusing data into those networks as the forward-most elements in an information war. Moreover, while the initial testing looks at AESA radar arrays on smaller tactical aircraft, there's also the potential that large arrays--such as the MP-RTIP radars planned for the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and E-10 multi-sensor command-and-control aircraft (or an E-8 Joint Stars upgrade)--could pass even more information at higher rates.
Sounds like a plan! At least this article doesn't give away any tactical secrets, it just describes our potential force effectiveness. I'll bet the enemy is shaking in their boots! LOL!

No, more like some damned general sitting back at Central Command, wanting to get real time data, while the aircraft is in a hot spot..

Scotty and Geordi will be able to modify the AESA array in nothing flat, Captain.
