Rapid Attack Information Dissemination & Execution Relay

[Chris]

Here's one I had never seen before. I don't collect USAF patches, but I saw this at an estste and couldn't pass it up. It is on a Lt. Col.'s flight suit. "Raider Rat" Rapid Attack Information Dissemination & Execution Relay patch. RAIDER is, essentially, the ground component of a interoperability system that translates disparate voice, data, etc. feeds from ground, air, and space forces, synthesizes that information, and then provides all the battle participants with a uniform situational awareness.
