Neural Net: The Future of Cooperative Air Combat Networking

-
Image
By the early 2030s, the battlespace had become a complex web of stealth aircraft, advanced electronic warfare systems, and multi-domain sensor fusion. Traditional cooperative radar techniques, while revolutionary in the early 2000s, were increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated jamming, signal interception, and pattern exploitation. The Swedish Air Force’s response to these emerging threats was Radar-Samverkan 2.0, codenamed “Neural Net” — a distributed, AI-driven, multi-platform combat network designed to remove single points of failure and extend the survivability of both manned and unmanned assets. Built around the Gripen E Block IV, Saab’s GlobalEye AEW&C, and MQ-28 Ghost Bat drones, Neural Net represented not just an upgrade, but a complete rethinking of how air forces cooperated in high-threat environments. 1.

Operation Frost Veil -- Baltic Air Defence Command Saab JAS 39E Gripen Vs Su-35S Flanker-E

-
Image
In the early hours of a Baltic winter dawn, a routine Swedish Air Force air policing mission escalated into one of the most tactically complex air intercepts of recent years. Operation Frost Veil was not merely a test of pilot skill, but a measured contest of electronic warfare, radar countermeasures, and missile employment between a JAS 39E Gripen of the Swedish Air Force and a Su-35S Flanker-E of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The encounter, fought over the grey expanse of the Western Baltic approaches, brought into focus the realities of modern air combat — where milliseconds of sensor advantage can dictate the outcome, and where the “kill” may be achieved without ever crossing into visual range. The mission unfolded under the operational control of the Baltic Air Defence Command, with real-time coordination between airborne assets, ground controllers, and the Gripen’s onboard mission computer systems. It was a confrontation in which radar doctrine, ECM/ECCM counterplay, and missile ...
