Why SPINE Matters: H-1 Fleet Upgrade

Imagine a scenario where your H-1 aircrew are 100 miles away from a target, and satellites or a friendly aircraft or something else has located the target for them. That information can then be transmitted to the H-1 and then uploaded into that weapon system, and the weapon system can then reach out and hit those enemy targets. With SPINE, they can employ weapon systems from over 100 nautical miles away. And that means because of the curvature of the Earth, enemy that are out there searching for our H-1 aircrew with their radar systems simply can't see them.
