FM <strong>44</strong>-<strong>100</strong><br />
• Where are previo<strong>us</strong>ly reported <strong>missile</strong> launch positions? What are the<br />
likely targets? What are the range, endurance, <strong>and</strong> profile of these<br />
systems?<br />
• What are the doctrinal distances for forward arming <strong>and</strong> refueling<br />
points? If the enemy's maximum range falls short of the area of<br />
<strong>operations</strong>, where is the enemy likely to stop <strong>and</strong> refuel, or be aerial<br />
refueled?<br />
• How <strong>and</strong> where will the enemy attack ground targets for interdiction?<br />
• At what altitude will the enemy approach the target, deliver<br />
munitions, <strong>and</strong> exit the target area?<br />
• What is the release authority of certain types of ordnance? This is<br />
particularly important when dealing with NBC threats.<br />
• How does the enemy employ reconnaissance assets?<br />
• How has the enemy historically fought?<br />
• Consider asymmetrical threat <strong>operations</strong>.<br />
ANALYZE ENEMY AIR CAPABILITIES<br />
A-27. ADA units evaluate a broad range of order of battle data <strong>and</strong> enemy<br />
capabilities to include the ground force <strong>and</strong> EW threat to ADA units. They<br />
also evaluate the answers to the following questions concerning threat<br />
systems.<br />
Aircraft<br />
A-28. Capabilities of <strong>air</strong> systems:<br />
• The enemy's capability to coordinate <strong>air</strong>-to-ground attacks?<br />
• The enemy's capability to coordinate <strong>air</strong> <strong>and</strong> artillery <strong>operations</strong>? Are<br />
ground forward <strong>air</strong> controllers <strong>us</strong>ed?<br />
• The enemy's capabilities for suppression of friendly <strong>air</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>missile</strong><br />
<strong>defense</strong>?<br />
• Performance (speed, altitude, <strong>air</strong>field restrictions, troop <strong>and</strong> weapon<br />
load capacity)?<br />
• Endurance <strong>and</strong> range (ingress <strong>and</strong> egress altitudes <strong>and</strong> speeds)?<br />
• Levels of combat readiness <strong>and</strong> sortie generation rate?<br />
• Ability to conduct pop-up maneuvers? What is the st<strong>and</strong>off range?<br />
• Target acquisition capability, night <strong>and</strong> adverse-weather capability,<br />
<strong>and</strong> identification ranges?<br />
• The st<strong>and</strong>off ranges for cruise <strong>and</strong> tactical <strong>air</strong>-to-surface <strong>missile</strong>s?<br />
• Ordnance load (maximum weight, type, load mixture, <strong>and</strong> level of<br />
sophistication)?<br />
• Combat personnel load?<br />
• Navigational capability (type of radar; can it fly at night or in adverse<br />
conditions)?<br />
• Combat radi<strong>us</strong> (with or without external tanks, ordnance, <strong>and</strong><br />
location of staging bases)?<br />
• Loiter time (how long will it have on station over the target area)?<br />
