    5. Airspace control system supports complex, high-density air operations
    6. Close coordination and integration of surface ops, fires, air defense, special ops, etc
    7. Accommodate U.S. host-nation, and multinational airspace control activities
    8. Recognize saturation levels and airspace control system limitations
    9. Coordinating measures
    10. Standardize voice and data communications
  • Basic Principles
    o Unity of efforts requires a fully coordinated, integrated, and centrally planned airspace control system
    o Reduce risk of unintended engagements; optimize effectiveness of air defense
    o Centralized airspace planning
    o Decentralized execution
    o Close liaison and coordination among all airspace users
    o Common airspace control procedures
    o Reliable, jam-resistant, beyond line of sight, secure communications
    o Integrated, interoperable, survivable, redundant systems
    o Respond to developing threat conditions
    o Management capabilities provided by airspace control elements, U.S. civil and host nation air traffic control
    o Emphasize flexibility and simplicity
    o 24hr, all-weather operations
