Combat Systems Officer

Combat and air operations move at incredible speed, so it's essential our Airmen do the same. Serving as integrators of electronic warfare, weapons systems, special operations and navigation, Combat Systems Officers are the eyes and ears in the sky for their fellow Airmen. Synchronizing our diverse technologies with decisiveness and leadership, these aviators abstract key environmental information and employ a wide range of high-tech systems and weaponry in the air to provide the precision needed to carry out increasingly complex missions.
