Mr. Carlin's Air USA is working on a project that 'recreates a virtual enemy army when training for the US Air Force.' In other words, they are hired by the United States Air Force to recreate a virtual enemy Air Force using a large amount of military aircraft owned by Air USA and provide support for realistic training.
Air USA is one of the companies that has been in the field of 'virtual enemy business' where they are hired by the military to reproduce virtual enemies from a very early stage. In the early 2000s, as a subcontractor of the Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) , a private military company acting on behalf of virtual enemy operations, we received an order from the US Navy to `` provide virtual enemies that mimic fighter planes and cruise missiles ''. did.

Carlin said the F / A-18 Hornet purchased from the Australian Air Force has fewer signs of corrosion than the US Navy-owned F / A-18 Hornet. For this reason, Carlin said that while the US Navy's F / A-18 Hornet is mounted on a sea carrier that is susceptible to salt, the Australian Air Force's F / A-18 Hornet is hot and dry I think it was because it was operated in. Due to the good condition of the fuselage, Carlin believes that the purchased F / A-18 Hornet can be operated for a long time until 2035, or even longer.
As a guideline for purchasing a new military aircraft, Carlin advocates 'buy the aircraft that was actually in use and flight, rather than the aircraft that has been stored for years.'

One of Carlin's main missions in conducting virtual enemy operations is to provide a wide range of virtual enemy options, depending on the budget and needs of the customer, by providing a variety of military aircraft. The types of military aircraft that are suitable for basic training, such as intercepting training using radar, and training that assumes air combat between fighters will also change. Combining multiple aircraft to increase training complexity can also provide more challenging scenarios for Air Force trainees.
Air USA is also well-suited to train pilots as well as Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) who will be part of tactical bombing operations such as close air support and air containment . JTAC, which accurately grasps the three-dimensional airspace related to the battlefield on the ground and gives effective instructions to the aircraft on the front line to support the battle, is very important, but the Pentagon's high performance Training with one of these fighters costs at least $ 20,000 per hour. On the other hand, Air USA can also train JTACs using relatively inexpensive military aircraft.
