Air Power And Nato Flashcards
Name the three characteristics of air power ? And the by products
Height - speed - reach
By products agility - ubiquity- concentration
Describe reach
Voyager 10-101
Sqn
Ex Nordic response
The earth is 70% water but 100 air - unrivalled reach
Speed
Ac - a400 loiters time
Enables the rapid delivery of power by exploiting the time dimensions - battle tempo , element of surprise
Height
Thypoon Louise and conningsby
Three dimensional manoutavabilty
Enables observation , domination and delivery of activities in land and maritime wnviromwnts - like hours rebalance attacks
Other by orodicts of air power
Ubiquity - protector - reaper - thypoon
Agility - A400c chinnock deliver aide
Concentration - protector - f35 typhoon
Describe control of air
because is secure freedom of movement and actions in the air domain. It also can restrict or prevent its used by the adversary. Control of the air protects , UK and overseas territories and deployed forces from attack across maritime and land domains. Control of the air is not a permanent state and constant activity is required to achieve it. certain states are -air parity where no force has decisive control of the air in either time or space.
Air superiority where you achieve through concessive air battles
Air supremacy ; where your adversary has no air capabilities
Ways to achieve this is either offensive counter air missions
And defensive counter air mission. Aircraft utilised for this capability is the typhoon and f35.
On such missions as the NATO operation of BILOXI in Romania when the TYPHOON is used to and scrambled dailt to control the air and deter Russian fast jets,
Describe attack
the use of overwhelming force through ATk to influence the behaviour or our advisories and can coerce of events utilising a broad spectrum of weaponry, precise and technical varieties in all elements
Three types of attack -
trategic ATK , counter land operstions
and counter maritime operations.
Example is Yemen - Houthi rebel attack
ISR
The synchronisation of information collected from the aircraft , then processed to support decision making by I identifying the adversary , vulnerabilities , strengths , patterns , locations.
ISR consists of three functions
Example OP Poseidon / ocean o graphs
Air craft Poseidon based at lossiemouth
Intelligence -
Surveillance
Reconnaissance
Describe Air mobility
Air mobility ; enables movement , manoeuvre and sustainment
Air lift- moving of kits /supplies
air to air refueling – voyager
personal recovery -helis and a400m
Air craft –
PUMA -SQNS LOCATION-ex
Air mobility example
Nordic response -
Air to air refilling using voyager 10-101 sqn
NATO - when did it start ? And why
1949 - April the 4th -
To provide security and freedom of movement against the the Soviet Union.
NATO - how many countries state the last three and dates
32 countries -
Lasted being Sweden - joking the 7th of March
Finland and then north massidonia
NATO - how many articles - which one protects its members and which one allowed joiners
14 articles - Article 5 - if one is attack then they all are
Aricle ten we can invite other members to join
National operations
Nordic response - op Carson - op astral knight
Nato ops
Stead fast defender - Gaza - op biloxi
Ace agile combat employment -
What is astral knight ?
Large scale integrated air and misle defence exercise - working with the polish air force air policing the in Romania Black Sea region
NATO exercises biloxi
Six typo on fighter six bomber sqn loose mouth and 200 pets from expeditionary wing 140 - 140EAW -
In romana doing QRA. Intercepts Russian aircraft approaching NATO
When a was the raf formed
1 April 1914

What is fundamentals of Reach
Reach enable the audiences and actors , adversaries to be influenced regardless of there location. 70 of the world is water but 100 is air - provide unrivalled reach.
What are the fundamentals of Speed
Enable the rapid and responsive projection of power by using colouring the dimensions of time - you can generate battle tempo and enable the element of surprise.
What is the fundamentals of Height
Enable the observation , domination and delivery of activities in land and maritime environments through three dimensional manoeuvrability all facilitated by height.
Reach - examples
Voyager 10-101 sqn brize - ex Nordic response
Speed examples
A400 brize can loiter time to deliver paratroopers in slow safety manner - like on ex rapid response -
Height examples
Typhoon - in conningsby and loussimouth - Yemen
Exapl a of control of air
Exercise - biloxi
Typhoons
Control of air underpins all air operations because it secures freedom of movement. Control of air is not a per meant state and activity is required to secure it .
Air superiority
Air supremacy
Attack
Yemen - typhoons
Attack
Yeman
Typhoon
The use of overwhelming force through attack to influence the behaviour of our advisories and Coerce of events uktalising a broad spectrum of wpns , precise and tech variety’s in all elements - three types
Strategic atk
Counter land atk
Counter maritime atk
ISR
The synchronisation of ill telling we collected from aircraft then proceeded to support decision making by identify the adversaries , vunrabilites , strengths , patterns , locations
Air mobility
Enables the movement and manoeuvrability and sustainment.
Such as ex swift response - ac a400 and chinnock and pumas and Nordic response voyager air to air refilling
What is air power ?
Air power is defined as the ability to use air capabilities in and from the air , to influence the behaviour of actors and the course of events
