a factor or condition that either temporarily or permanently impedes mission accomplishment.
Define passive air and missile defense.
Passive AMD is all measures, other than active AMD, taken to minimize the effectiveness of hostile air and missile threats against friendly forces and assets.
Define active air and missile defense
Active AMD is direct defensive action taken to destroy, nullify, or reduce the effectiveness of air and missile threats against friendly forces and assets.
Describe the relationship between Defense Design and the CAL
Defense Design allocates available active air and missile defense forces to defend the CAL.
Describe the relationship between DCA operations and active and passive defense measures
DCA operations include both active and passive defense measures
Identify the types of defensive coverage included in active air defense
area, point, self defense and High Value Airborne Asset (HVAA) protection
Identify the document that integrates active air Defense Design, passive defense measures, and supporting C2 systems.
AADP - Area Air Defense Plan
Identify positive identification procedures for IAMD
an ID derived from visual observation, and/or electronic systems, possibly combined with other factors (e.g. point of origin), with a higher confidence of accuracy than a simple lack of friend or lack of enemy.
Identify procedural identification procedures for IAMD.
a combination of previously agreed upon Airspace Coordination Measures (ACM) and promulgated through the Airspace Control Plan (ACP), Airspace Control Orders (ACO), and SPINS
Describe the three modes of control.
Centralized, Decentralized, Autonomous
Describe Centralized mode of control
A higher echelon must authorize target engagements
Describe Decentralized mode of control
Higher echelon monitors subordinate unit actions and makes direct target assignments only when necessary to ensure proper fire distribution, or to prevent engagement of friendly aircraft.
Describe Autonomous mode of control
A unit assumes autonomous operations after it has lost all communications to higher tactical headquarters. The firing unit commander assumes full responsibility for control of weapons and engagement of hostile targets in accordance with previously received directives, existing ROE, WCS, as established in the AADP
Define the different types of Weapons Ctrl Status (WCS)
Hold, Tight Free
Define WCS Hold
Units may only fire in self defense, or when ordered by proper higher authority (most restrictive).
Define WCS Tight
Units may only fire on targets identified as HOSTILE IAW current ROE.
Define WCS Free
Any target not positively identified IAW current ROE as FRIENDLY may be engaged (least restrictive).
Define Fighter Engagement Zone (FEZ)
Fighter responsibility to engage target
Define Missile Engagement Zone (MEZ)
Missile responsiblilty to engage target
Define Joint Engagement Zone (JEZ)
Both missile and fighter responsibility
