    The Emerging CAF Deep Sense-Strike Complex

    However, the military (and other organizations) have a bad habit of using those acronyms outside of their field, whereupon nobody knows what they are talking about, or that acronym means something completely different to the other organization.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)
