A
red team
is an independent group that challenges an organization to improve its effectiveness. The United States intelligence community (military and civilian) has red teams that explore alternative futures and write articles as if they were despotic world leaders. Little formal doctrine or publications about Red Teaming in the military exist.
In wargaming, the opposing force (or OPFOR) in a simulated military conflict may be referred to as a red cell (a very narrow form of Red Teaming) and may also engage in red team activity. The key theme is that the aggressor is composed of various threat actors, equipment and techniques that are at least partially unknown by the defenders. The red cell challenges the operations planning by playing the role of a thinking enemy. In United States war-gaming simulations, the U.S. force is always the Blue Team and the opposing force is always the Red Team.
The F-14A+ main upgrade was the engine but also new electronic systems such as Fairchild AN/AWG-15F fire control set, AN/ALR-69, ARC-182 UHF-VHF radio and an improved direct lift system. The problem of dangerous engine flameout was also fixed in this version.  The first F-14A+ first flew on July 14th 1981 at Calverton. It was powered by two General Electric F101 (later renamed as F110) turbofan, providing 16,400 lb. thrust dry and 27,400 lb. afterburn.  With the new engine installed the Tomcats interception radius is increased by 62% and provided the possibility of having carrier takeoff without afterburners. Subsequently, the F-14A+ was re-designated as the F-14B. 38 was ordered as new built while 32 was upgraded from F-14A. A total of 6 squadron received the F-14A+ (F-14B) from 1988.  The F-14A+ has a larger engine exhaust compare to the F-14A, the A+ model also had its gun door modified and new systems such as AN/ARL-67 RWR, fatigue/engine monitoring system and AN/ARC-182 UHF/VHF were installed to the A+.  The first Squadron to receive the A+(B) was the VF-74, and up to six squadrons has received the F-14A+/B (most in the Atlantic).
