Systems tests continue to drive most military testing. New airframes are more and more rare, but it seems that new black boxes continue to drive combat capability, no matter what the age of your airframe. Being able to continue keeping an eye out for defenders even while you refine your radar picture of the target area would be a nice capability to have. Can we make it LPI to?
