  1. Joint Airspace 325 ACS/DOF

  2. Objectives andSamples of Behavior • Outline joint airspace control procedures. • Identify the goal of joint airspace control. • Identify the three requirements of airspace control procedures. • Identify the two methods of airspace control. • Identify the purpose of the airspace control plan (ACP).

  3. Objectives and Samples of Behavior • Outline the responsibilities of: • Joint Force Commanders (JFC) • Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) • Airspace Control Authority (ACA) • Area Air Defense Commander (AADC) • Describe the following airspace control measures. • Coordinating altitude (CA) • Restricted operating zone/restricted operating area (ROZ/ROA) • Minimum risk route (MRR) • High density airspace control zone (HIDACZ) • Fire support coordination line (FSCL)/(SAAFR)

  4. Airspace Control Why??

  5. Airspace ControlWhy?? • Prevent mutual interference • Facilitate air defense identification • Safely accommodate and expedite the flow of all air traffic in the area of responsibility /joint operations area • Enhance effectiveness • Prevent fratricide

  6. Airspace Control The primary goal of combat airspace control: Is to enhance air, land, maritime, and special operations force effectiveness in accomplishing the JFC’s objectives. -TAGS

  7. Joint Airspace Control Procedures • Enhance the effectiveness of air operations… • Allow for maximum flexibility thru an effective mix of positive and procedural control measures… • Needs to permit close coordination between air, land, maritime, and special operations forces and allow for rapid concentration of combat power in a specific portion of airspace in minimum time…

  8. Airspace ControlProcedures Must… • Prevent mutual interference from all uses of the airspace • Facilitate air defense identification • Safely accommodate and expedite the flow of all air traffic in the theater of operations

  9. Airspace Control AADC ACA JFACC JOINT FORCE COMMANDER

  10. Airspace Control Authority The JFC normally assigns the ACA function to the JFACC

  11. Airspace Control Authority Develops broad policies and procedures for airspace control and coordinates as required among units within the AOR/JOA, subject to the authority and approval of the JFC.

  12. ACA Responsibilities • Operation of the airspace control system • Develops broad policies and procedures for airspace control and coordinates as required among units within the AOR/JOA

  13. Area Air Defense Commander(AADC) Normally, this will be the component commander with the preponderance of air defense capability and the command, control, and communication capability to plan and execute integrated air defense operations

  14. Methods of Airspace Control • There are two methods of airspace control: • Positive Control • Procedural Control

  15. Methods of Airspace ControlPositive Control • Positively identifies, tracks, and directs air assets using: • Radars • Other sensors • Identification, friend or foe/Selective ID feature • Digital data links • Other elements of the command, control communications, and computer system

  16. Methods of Airspace ControlProcedural Control • Relies on previously agreed to and promulgated airspace control measures such as: • Comprehensive air defense ID procedures/ROE • Low level transit routes • Minimum risk routes • A/C ID maneuvers • Fire support coordinating measure • Coordinating altitudes

  17. Airspace ControlMeasures (ACM) Includes: Coordinating Altitudes ROZ/ROA HIDACZ SAAFR Min Risk Routes FSCL

  18. Coordinating Altitude • Separates fixed-wing & rotary-wing aircraft • Fixed-wing stay above • Rotary-wing stay below

  19. Coordinating Altitude BUFFER ZONE BUFFER ZONE CORPS REAR X X X X X DIVISION AREA FLOT

  20. Restricted Operating Zones/Area • Volume of airspace set aside for a specific operational mission or requirement • Restricts some or all airspace users while in effect • Examples: • LZ • SAR area

  21. Restricted Operations Zone AS REQUIRED AS REQUIRED

  22. High Density Airspace Control Zone • Defined area of airspace where concentrated employment of weapons and/or airspace users exists • Usually related to a geographical area or NAVAID • Requesting authority normally dictates air defense weapons control status

  23. High-Density AirspaceControl Zone X 404 HIDACZ 401 X XX FLOT

  24. Standard Use Army Aircraft Flight Routes (SAAFRs) • Routes established below the coordinating altitude • Allows safe movement of Army assets

  25. Standard Use ArmyAircraft Flight Route XXX XX DSA SPT BSA X X X X X .. X II FOC .. X BSA ACP ACP X XXX X XX MAIN

  26. Minimum Risk Route • Temporary corridors defined for use by hi-speed fixed wing aircraft • Presents minimum known hazards to low flying aircraft transiting theater

  27. Minimum Risk Route Air Control Point FSCL FSCL FLOT Helicopters transit though below coordinating ALT see-and-avoid Homebase bound a/c about 500’ AGL WCS: “Weapons Tight” in corridor Target Bound A/C Below 500’ AGL XXX XXX Air control points used at points where the flight route changes direction and connects with other routes/corridors

  28. Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL) • Established by land commander • Fires forward of the line do NOT require coordination with ground commander • Fires behind the line DO require coordination with ground commander

  29. BAD GUYS COORDINATION WITH GC NOT REQUIRED FSCL COORDINATION WITH GC REQUIRED FLOT GOOD GUYS

  30. Airspace Control Other Examples A/R tracks FEZ/MEZ/JEZ Base Defense Zones Engagement Boxes (AKA Kill Boxes) HVAA orbit areas No/Restricted Fly Areas Low level transit Routes CAP points/areas

  31. Providing Airspace Control • A joint airspace control system will normally be a collage of the following: • Air Force: AOC, CRC, AWACS, JSTARS, ASOC, TACP • Navy: TACC, TADC, E-2, Aegis, other ships • Marines: TACC, TAOC, DASC

  32. Airspace Control Plan (ACP) • Provides general guidance on the airspace control functions • The ACP activates and deactivates procedural control measures and updates positive control procedures, including management of all transponder modes/codes • AND…….

  33. Airspace Control Plan -Includes procedures for developing the AIRSPACE CONTROL ORDER

  34. integration ACA consolidation Airspace Control Plan Airspace Control Order

  35. Objectives andSamples of Behavior • Outline joint airspace control procedures • Identify the goal of joint airspace control • Identify the three requirements of airspace control procedures • Identify the two methods of airspace control • Identify the purpose of the airspace control plan (ACP)

  36. Objectives and Samples of Behavior • Outline the responsibilities of: • Joint Force Commanders (JFC) • Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) • Airspace Control Authority (ACA) • Area Air Defense Commander (AADC) • Describe the following airspace control measures. • CA - SAAFR • ROZ/ROA - MRR • HIDACZ - FSCL
