maritime forces in the execution of the AADP. Maritime assets assigned to DCA missions
within the sphere of influence of a strike group commander will operate within the CWC
structure. Maritime assets assigned to DCA missions outside of a strike group may be
TACON to CTF IAMD. Planning for the AMD of maritime assets performing other
missions outside of a strike group will be the responsibility of CTF IAMD.
e. Interceptor Aircraft. The AFFOR, NAVFOR, and MARFOR possess fixed-wing
aircraft capable of an AD role. However, both the multi-role and air-to-air capable aircraft
normally can be tasked against both DCA and OCA operations, dependent upon the JFC’s
daily air apportionment decision.
f. Other aircraft that are critical to DCA include the airborne C2, AR, signals
intelligence, and EW aircraft.
g. When operating with an MNF, a multitude of AMD capabilities (aircraft,
interceptors, sensors, SAMs, ISR, and C2) from simple legacy to state-of-the-art is possible.
Integration of those capabilities without creating a seam or hole in the AMD coverage is the
challenge.
h. In addition to EW, IO assets and procedures can be essential to DCA operations
because of the critical reliance on electronic and computer systems for sensing, passing, and
displaying air and missile threat and defense information. Understanding that reliance, an
enemy may attempt offensive IO against DCA assets.
4. Integrated Air Defense Systems
a. An IADS is not a formal system in itself but the aggregate of Service/functional
component AMD systems comprising sensors, weapons, C2, communications, intelligence
systems, and personnel operating in a theater/JOA under the command of an AADC.
However, the IADS typically depends on support and enabling functions from national assets
and systems not controlled by the JFC. Because the IADS is normally composed of different
components, it requires significant integration and interoperability of communications and
TDL architectures to generate its expected synergistic effects for the JFC. An IADS requires
planning that begins with organizing the AMD forces and determining command
relationships through the establishment of the COMNET for C2 of all the weapon systems
integrated for DCA operations.
b. To ensure counterair situational awareness and enable decision making, plans for an
IADS must include the requirement for a reliable, consistent COP/CTP available in all major
and supporting C2 facilities.
c. The heart of the IADS is the integrated forces/capabilities controlled by, made
available to, or in direct support of the AADC, and the actions planned and executed in
accordance with the JFC’s AADP. Subject to the authority of the JFC, each component
commander within a joint force does the following in support of DCA operations:
(1) Coordinates and prioritizes their DCA operations and needs with the JFC and
other component commanders through the AADC.
