Since USS Langley’s commissioning 100 years ago, our nation’s aircraft carriers and embarked carrier air wings have projected power, sustained sea control, bolstered deterrence, and maintained our enduring commitments worldwide. Nimitz and Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers are preparing to deploy with the Air Wing of the Future that employs Manned-Unmanned Teaming and integrates fourth and fifth-generation aircraft with unmanned systems.
