As the world grows increasingly reliant on technology, the threat associated with an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack continues to grow. EMPs are massive bursts of electromagnetic energy that can be produced by nuclear detonations (as well as through some non-nuclear means). These pulses can disrupt, damage, or even destroy electronic systems, thrusting the target area back into the Dark Ages.
Let's talk about how America's AirPower apparatus is working to offset the threat posed by EMPs, to ensure the U.S. can respond, even after a devastating EMP attack.

Nestled deep within the Air Force's Nevada Test and Training Range, the remote and highly classified facility we've come to know as Area 51 has been the heart of secretive American aircraft programs β and a fair bit of modern folklore β for more than a half-century now.
Let's talk about how they manage to keep the cutting-edge programs they test away from the prying eyes of the public... and the spy satellites zooming overhead.

,1,On Tuesday, DARPA unveiled its newest experimental aircraft, or X-Plane, known as the XRQ-73 SHEPARD, short for Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AiRcraft Demonstration program.
This new aircraft's title may be a mouthful, but its advanced new hybrid propulsion system could allow this aircraft to fly longer duration intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions than any aircraft before it, and all while dramatically reducing both its acoustic (sound) and thermal (heat) signatures.
Let's talk about why this technology could be vital for the future of American military operations.

,1,There's been a great deal of discussion about the forthcoming 6th generation of fighters, believed to be led by the U.S. Air Force's ongoing Next Generation Air Dominance Program... But do these generational designations still make sense?
Let's talk about why we may see this sort of fighter classification die out in the coming years, and why that might just be okay.

,1,Northrop's YF-23 has achieved near-legendary status among aviation buffs as one of the biggest what-ifs in fighter history, but was this fighter really as good as the memes say? And if it was... Why didn't the U.S. opt to buy it?
Let's break it down.
