"Focusing on the mission context during operational test planning and execution provides a more robust operational test environment and facilitates evaluation goals." While the real-world MADIS system will be equipped not only with Stinger missiles but also with 30mm machine gun turrets, officials said the tests so far have only involved training ammo. This fall, 3rd LAAB will finally get its first 13 MADIS systems right as the weapon achieves initial operating capability, marking it ready for combat. Program managers said earlier this year that the Marine Corps wants a total of 190 MADIS and 21 L-MADIS systems.

The penultimate conventionally-powered aircraft carrierUSS America, seen transiting the Indian Ocean, featured an angled deck that allowed it to simultaneously land aircraft while launching others from catapults off its bow. PH2 Robert D. Bungle/National Archives CatalogUSS America was initially ordered as one of the six nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the Enterprise class. It was the second to last conventionally powered carrier, followed by USS John F. Kennedy before the Navy began building its nuclear-powered carrier fleet. The America was one of three Kitty Hawk-class carriers, including the lead ship and USS Constellation. The America was first designated as an attack aircraft carrier and reclassified to an aircraft carrier in 1975 following a major overhaul the previous year.
