SiNAB CEO Tony Landers recently joined strategic partner RAVN Aerospace at Tailhook 2026 in Reno, Nevada, continuing our collaboration around adaptable airborne mission capability.
Tailhook brought together the US naval aviation community, including operators, senior military leaders and industry, with this year’s program focused on “Warfighting Innovation Now”.
For SiNAB, the event provided an opportunity to engage directly with the naval aviation community alongside RAVN and continue discussions around the Phoenix Mission System and its application to emerging operational requirements.
A particular focus was Phoenix 10 and its Counter-UAS capability, including recent testing and trials involving the APKWS laser-guided rocket.
The Phoenix 5 also made its debut having completed its initial flight testing.
The engagement builds on the work already underway between SiNAB and RAVN in the United States. Following the approval of Phoenix 10 for use on the RAVN Mark 67 Hawk earlier this year, the capability is now being used in support of US Navy training activity, using Phoenix 10’s IR marker, target coordinate generation and Video Down Link capabilities across realistic training scenarios.
Together, SiNAB and RAVN continue to explore how the Phoenix Mission System can support mission readiness through adaptable capability that can be integrated across different aircraft and operational environments.
Tailhook 2026 provided another valuable opportunity to hear directly from the people operating within those environments and to continue developing capability around real-world mission requirements.
