1.2 Maximize the survivability capability Survivability – Capability of a system to withstand a manmade hostile environment without suffering an abortive impairment of its ability to perform its designated mission. 128 2. Maximize the Force Awareness capability Force Awareness: ability to maintain an accurate perception of the factors and conditions affecting the environment by detecting and processing relevant information to create a composite picture of the current situation and act on this picture to make a decision or to perform further exploration. 129 2.1 Maximize the capability to detect targets Detection – Act or effect of perceiving or making contact (visual, electromagnetic, acoustic, among others) with a given target. 130 Includes ISR activities. 2.1.1 In the air (see 1.1.1) 2.1.2 In the surface (see 1.1.2) 2.1.3 In the subsurface (see 1.1.3) 2.2 Maximize the integration capability Integration – 1. Action of connecting a set of subsystems in a logical whole, so that the interactions between them are more important than their own subsystems, or that the interactions between them could generate a synergistic effect. 131 2.3 Maximize the communication capability Communication – To use any means or method to convey information of any kind from one person or place to another 132 such that military components can be linked in the battlefield. 128 Ibid., 614. 129 Schleher, Electronic Warfare in the Information Age, 31. 130 Ministério da Defesa, MD 35-G01 Glossário das Forças Armadas, 82. 131 Ibid., 138. 132 The U.S. Department of Defense, The Dictionary of Military Terms, 92. 96
2.3.1 Using voice Voice – Sound produced by the human vocal organs. 2.3.2 Using data Data – Representation of facts, concepts, or instructions in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing by humans or by automatic means. Any representations such as characters or analog quantities to which meaning is or might be assigned. 133 3 Maximize the Force Mobility capability Force Mobility: ability to move personnel, materiel and forces by air and operate with the same efficiency from any airfield. This includes both airlift and air refueling. 3.1 Maximize the aerial refuel capability Air refueling – The refueling of an aircraft in flight by another aircraft. 134 3.2 Maximize the airlift capability Airlift - Operations to transport and deliver forces and materiel through the air in support of strategic, operational, or tactical objectives. 135 3.3 Maximize the capability to operate in unprepared airfields Airfield - An area prepared for the accommodation (including any buildings, installations, and equipment), landing, and takeoff of aircraft. 136 Unprepared airfield - Usual meaning is without permanent paved runway. 137 133 Ibid., 124. 134 Ibid., 19. 135 US Air Force, AFDD 1-2 Air Force Glossary (US Air Force, 2007), 42, http://www.epublishing.af.mil/. 136 The U.S. Department of Defense, The Dictionary of Military Terms, 15. 137 Gunston, The Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary, 676. 97
