Schwartz wants to study arming F-15s and F-16s for ABM role
U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz said his service is looking into arming F-15s and F-16s with THAADs or modified AMRAAMs to intercept ballistic missiles.
Schwartz said a 2008 war game, based in the European theater in 2020, piqued the interest of the Air Force to study the ALHK concept.
"This examination indicated several ALHK approaches may be operationally suitable for employment from Air Force fighters," Schwartz wrote to MDA director, Army Lt. Gen. Patrick O’Reilly.
