The intent of this tongue-in-cheek paper is to stimulate thought about technologies that may be included in future weapons systems and how the weapon system developer is impacted today. It explores a day in the life of a future generation fighter aircraft (year 2015-2025 time-frame). The scenario starts from the perspective of the ground crew awaiting the return of their future fighters: the new A/F-2, "Thunderchief II"/spl minus/to a dispersed operations location (DOL) from a combat air patrol (CAP) mission in the fictitious country of Crad. A nonrestrictive technology view is assumed, tempered with as much realism as one can logically include in the scenario, with some of today's evolving technology thrusts.<>
