  • U.S. Command and Control and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Aircraft
    U.S. Command and Control and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Aircraft Jeffrey Nelson US Air Force Fellow July 15, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44108 c11173008 . U.S. Command and Control and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Aircraft Summary The fleet of manned aircraft accomplishing the Department of Defense’s (DOD’s) Command and Control (C2) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions for the joint military community (E-8, E-3, RC-135, WC-135, OC-135, and E-6) is primarily based on Boeing 707 aircraft procured from the 1960s to the early 1990s. As the age of these legacy C2ISR aircraft increases, understanding the Air Force and Navy modernization and recapitalization plans is likely important for Congress. This report examines the Air Force’s and Navy’s current sustainment, modernization, and recapitalization efforts for these Boeing 707-based aircraft, and issues Congress may take into account when considering appropriating funds for continued sustainment and modernization of these aircraft versus funding for recapitalization of these missions to new aircraft. This report addresses potential congressional oversight and appropriations concerns for the sustainment, modernization, and recapitalization of the DOD’s Boeing 707-based legacy C2ISR aircraft fleet. It does not address options for recapitalization currently being offered by industry to other countries. Congress has the authority to approve, reject, or modify Air Force and Navy funding requests for C2ISR aircraft sustainment, modernization, and recapitalization, as well as oversight of the nation’s C2ISR requirements and capabilities. Congress’s decisions on appropriations for the C2ISR force could impact the nation’s C2ISR capabilities and have additional consequences for the U.S.

  • NATO AWACS Surveillance Aircraft Support to the Counter ISIL Coalition
    North Atlantic Treaty Organization Fact Sheet February 2017 NATO AWACS Surveillance Aircraft Support to the Counter ISIL Coalition AIM: In view of the threat posed by ISIL, NATO is enhancing its contribution to the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL with AWACS surveillance aircraft. NATO’s advanced Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft are supporting the Coalition’s overall air picture by providing surveillance and situational awareness, thereby making the skies safer. Since October 2016, NATO’s AWACS aircraft have been supporting the Coalition with air surveillance and situational awareness. They do not coordinate Coalition air strikes or provide command and control for fighter aircraft. AWACS only fly over international airspace or over Turkey. AWACS can detect aircraft hundreds of kilometers away so they can monitor airspace in Iraq and Syria from inside Turkey. This is an important contribution to the Counter-ISIL effort and a clear signal of NATO’s determination to help fight terrorism. By providing AWACS support, NATO is demonstrating its resolve to tackle security challenges coming from the south. AWACS - Airborne Warning and Control System Aircraft NATO operates a fleet of 16 AWACS surveillance aircraft. They are currently the only military equipment that NATO owns itself as an Alliance. Derived from the Boeing 707, AWACS can provide air surveillance, command and control, battle space management and communications. Using a radar dish mounted on top of the airplane, AWACS have the ability to detect aircraft and ships at great distance. NATO’s AWACS are based at the NATO Airbase Geilenkirchen in Germany, with forward operating airfields in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Norway.

  • Air Force Air Refueling: the KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program
    Order Code RL34398 Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Updated June 23, 2008 William Knight, Christopher Bolkcom, and Daniel H. Else Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Summary KC-X is the first of three planned programs intended to recapitalize the Air Force’s air refueling fleet. Eventually, the KC-X program is expected to acquire 179 new, commercial off-the-shelf airliners modified to accomplish air refueling. The program is expected to cost approximately $35 billion. Both Boeing and a consortium consisting of Northrop Grumman and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) — the parent company of Airbus — were in competition for KC-X. Boeing offered a variant of the 767-200, while Northrop Grumman submitted a version of the Airbus 330-200. On February 29, 2008, the Air Force awarded the KC-X contract to Northrop Grumman. The initial $12.1 billion KC-X contract covers purchase the first 68 KC-45s of the anticipated 179 aircraft. Boeing protested the Air Force’s decision to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). GAO announced its sustainment of the Boeing protest on June 18, 2008. Air Force in-flight aerial refueling aircraft, often referred to as “tankers,” provide both persistence and range to Department of Defense (DOD) fighters, bombers, airlift and surveillance aircraft. As such, the Air Force’s tanker fleet greatly multiplies the effectiveness of DOD air power across the continuum of military operations. Today, the KC-135, which makes up the preponderance of the Air Force’s tanker force, is among the Air Force’s oldest aircraft.

  • China-US Aircraft Collision Incident of April 2001
    Order Code RL30946 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-U.S. Aircraft Collision Incident of April 2001: Assessments and Policy Implications Updated October 10, 2001 Shirley A. Kan (Coordinator), Richard Best, Christopher Bolkcom, Robert Chapman, Richard Cronin, Kerry Dumbaugh, Stuart Goldman, Mark Manyin, Wayne Morrison, Ronald O’Rourke Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division David Ackerman American Law Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress China-U.S. Aircraft Collision Incident of April 2001: Assessments and Policy Implications Summary The serious incident of April 2001 between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) involved a collision over the South China Sea between a U.S. Navy EP-3 reconnaissance plane and a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) naval F-8 fighter that crashed. After surviving the near-fatal accident, the U.S. crew made an emergency landing of their damaged plane onto the PLA’s Lingshui airfield on Hainan Island, and the PRC detained the 24 crew members for 11 days. Washington and Beijing disagreed over the cause of the accident, the release of the crew and plane, whether Washington would “apologize,” and the PRC’s right to inspect the EP- 3. In the longer term, the incident has implications for the right of U.S. and other nations’ aircraft to fly in international airspace near China. (This CRS Report, first issued on April 20, 2001, includes an update on the later EP-3 recovery.) The incident prompted assessments about PRC leaders, their hardline position, and their claims. While some speculated about PLA dominance, President and Central Military Commission Chairman Jiang Zemin and his diplomats were in the lead, while PLA leaders followed in stance with no more inflammatory rhetoric.

  • A Perspective on India by Dr
    PROLIFERATED DRONES A Perspective on India By Dr. Monika Chansoria Introduction The ongoing debate over the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – and particularly unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) – on the battlefield is growing increasingly vehement as time passes. However, it is essential to make a categorical distinction between UAVs and UCAVs, because the different usages of these two types of systems will lead to variance in the supporting arguments, and thus to the consequent verdict on the desirability of the overall technology. Unmanned aircraft systems, comprising UAVs and UCAVs, are controlled either by pilots on the ground or autonomously, following a pre-programmed mission. The categorization of these unmanned systems is primarily based on their objectives. In the case of UAVs, the principal aim is real-time reconnaissance and surveillance. UCAVs are armed versions loaded with missiles and bombs. UAVs have varied uses, which stretch far beyond military combat and include aerial surveillance, search and rescue operations (a progressively expanding sphere), power-line and pipeline inspections in inaccessible regions or high- altitude terrain, surveillance and data relay during natural calamities, disaster management, border patrol and transborder refugee tracking, maritime surveillance and coast guard operations, detection and monitoring of radiation leaks or oil spillage (both at sea and along the coastlines), and intelligence collection. India maintains and employs a modest fleet of unarmed UAVs that are strictly intended for civilian and paramilitary usage. Regional instability in the South Asian subcontinent coupled with India’s own internal security threats – the perils of which stretch from urban terrorism to armed insurgencies – have proved to be formidable challenges to the long-term peace and stability of India.

  • (AEW) Aircraft
    Order Code RS20754 Updated November 7, 2001 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web National Security Implications of Airborne Early Warning (AEW) Aircraft name redacted name redacted Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary Airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft significantly improve the effectiveness of modern defensive and offensive air operations. Presently only a few countries manufacture such aircraft. The demand for AEW aircraft, is growing however, as their utility is recognized. AEW aircraft have been sought by China and India, each a party in regional rivalries. Congress is likely to review the U.S. national security interests and policies raised by these cases. Background Introduction to Airborne Early Warning. Airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft significantly improve the effectiveness of modern defensive and offensive air operations. AEW aircraft provide a larger and clearer view of the battlespace, and the ability to more coherently organize and employ large numbers of aircraft over great distances and against a large number of threats or targets. Because radar is effective only to the extent of its direct line of sight, the Earth’s curvature limits the ability of most surface-based radars to detect low flying aircraft beyond about 30 miles. Modern aircraft can travel this distance very quickly; potentially eluding detection until they are literally on top of their target. By elevating early warning radars, say to 30,000 feet, low flying enemy aircraft can be detected at ranges up to 250 miles, providing better ability to prepare defenses and eliminate devastating surprise attacks. (Figure 1 illustrates this concept.) AEW systems are often combined with command, control and communications (C3) equipment – such as identification friend or foe (IFF), electronic and communications intelligence (ELINT and COMINT), advanced navigation and jam-resistant tactical data links.

  • Airpower Over Water the Mission Spent the 1990S Adrift, but Aircraft Are Again Seen As a Prime Way to Track and Target Threats at Sea
    Airpower Over Water The mission spent the 1990s adrift, but aircraft are again seen as a prime way to track and target threats at sea. By Rebecca Grant USAF photo by SrA. Christopher Bush nce upon a time, airpower earned its spurs over water. Maritime interdiction—attack of ships— was a major mission for decades. Boeing photo From Billy Mitchell’s sinking Oof Ostfriesland to the Battle of Midway in 1942, the use of airpower over water made for some dramatic turning points. During the Cold War, USAF bombers trained to seek and sink warships of the Soviet fleet. Then the Cold War ended and so did open-ocean exercises. The US Navy switched its focus to littoral operations where threats were no greater in size than Iranian coastal patrol boats. Over the past few years, trends in homeland defense, AirSea Battle, and other operational concepts have brought back the overwater mission’s import. This time, the tasks include long-range surveillance, reconnaissance, and incident response as well as deterrence and strike.

  • Europe and the Future Combat Air System
    Europe and the Future Combat Air System © 2019 IAI edited by Alessandro Marrone and Michele Nones ISSN 2280-6164 ABSTRACT The development of the next generation of combat aircraft, to be part of a system of systems with satellites, drones and other military assets, does represent the main technological challenges for air forces and aerospace industries in Western countries. This study analyses the approach to the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) in the US as well as in France, Germany, UK, Italy and Sweden, from the military, industrial and political points of view. Two competing initiatives are unfolding in Europe: a Franco-German project and the Tempest programme led by the UK. Such a competition creates a strategic choice for Italy, since Rome has to decide which next generation combat aircraft develop, from now on, to succeed the Eurofigther in service until the 2040s – while continuing the F-35 procurement and use. The study analyses the pros and cons of both initiatives, and recommends Rome to negotiate with London the joint development of a European FCAS, despite Brexit. A cooperation which should in the mid- term merge with the Franco-German project for the benefit of European defence and strategic autonomy.
