Jericho

CAF’s ambitious vector towards a fifth-gen Air Force

Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Geoff Brown formally launched his bold Plan Jericho at the Chief’s Symposium held at the Melbourne Convention Centre on February 23 on the eve of the Avalon Airshow.

“Plan Jericho…describes the vector which Air Force will pursue on our transformation path towards becoming a fifth generation-enabled force,” AIRMSHL Brown said. “The introduction to service of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter opens a new era in the distinguished history of our Air Force. ” The intent behind Plan Jericho is to technologically and culturally integrate the new fifth generation capabilities currently in service or due to enter service in the next decade, not just with each other but also with older ‘legacy’ thirdand fourth generation capabilities.
