FM <strong>44</strong>-<strong>100</strong><br />
A-8<br />
• Countermeasures environment? For example, will st<strong>and</strong>off jammers,<br />
ground-based jammers, reconnaissance or chaff-laying UAVs, or<br />
<strong>air</strong>craft degrade friendly <strong>air</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>missile</strong> <strong>defense</strong> systems?<br />
• Type, quantity, <strong>and</strong> quality of training the pilots have received?<br />
• How much do they conform to doctrine?<br />
• Ability of pilots to fly at night or perform contour flying? During<br />
peacetime did the pilot train on wartime type missions?<br />
• Types <strong>and</strong> capabilities of threat ordnance? Each type of ordnance<br />
should be evaluated for the following:<br />
� Range: assume engagement at maximum range <strong>and</strong> twothirds<br />
maximum range.<br />
� Accuracy.<br />
� Release altitude: how high or low m<strong>us</strong>t the <strong>air</strong>craft fly?<br />
� Reload <strong>and</strong> fire time. What is the number of <strong>missile</strong>s<br />
available?<br />
� Warhead type: for example, mass casualty, conventional, <strong>and</strong><br />
submunitions. What is the release altitude?<br />
� Guidance modes: how does the pilot acquire <strong>and</strong> engage?<br />
Unmanned aerial vehicles<br />
A-29. Capabilities of threat UAVs:<br />
• Performances (speed, altitude, <strong>and</strong> launch restrictions)?<br />
• Endurance <strong>and</strong> range?<br />
• Contour flying or terrain limiting factors?<br />
• Target acquisition <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>off range?<br />
• Sensor package <strong>and</strong> payload (maximum weight, type, <strong>and</strong> load<br />
mixture)?<br />
• Loiter time (how long can the UAV stay on station)?<br />
• Visibility effects on acquisition?<br />
• Modes of recovery <strong>and</strong> turnaround time?<br />
• Real-time, data-link capability?<br />
• Guidance modes (ground controlled <strong>and</strong> preprogrammed)?<br />
• Crew proficiency?<br />
Ballistic <strong>missile</strong>s<br />
A-30. Capabilities of threat ballistic <strong>missile</strong> systems:<br />
• Performances (<strong>missile</strong> flight time, speed, trajectory, <strong>and</strong> launch<br />
restrictions)?<br />
• Maximum <strong>and</strong> minimum ranges?<br />
• Circular error probable?<br />
• Crew proficiency?<br />
• Reload <strong>and</strong> fire time? What is the number of ballistic <strong>missile</strong>s<br />
available per TEL?<br />
• Warhead type <strong>and</strong> size?<br />
• Guidance modes?
