Members of the Detachment 1, 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron aircrew connect a chain from the “Combat Banner” to an F-4 Phantom during a Weapon Systems Evaluation Program at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., June 19. During “Combat Banner” missions, a 40-foot banner is towed behind an F-4 Phantom, which is flown into the airspace to be shot at by the F-22 Raptor’s 20 mm cannon. The main purpose of the WSEP is to evaluate the total air-to-air weapon to verify the system’s performance, reliability, capabilities, limitations, recommend corrective actions, and maintain combat Air Force-wide data.
