Information is always the highest priority, even during combat. The difference between the pilot and the soldier is that even to this day, air combat remains a one-on-one proposition. Information, if not change, then at least influences that condition. Information affects decisions, tactical and strategic. So the more information that air elements can share with each other, the better they can coordinate combat tactics that would -- not merely could -- focus maximum resources against the enemy's weakest points. In many ways, information is even more important to the pilot than to the soldier because of the greater dynamics of air combat where battlefields can move hundreds of km in minutes.
