NORAD MissionThe NORAD Agreement • “…the primary missions of NORAD… aerospace warning for North America; and aerospace control for North America. • … [to] include the capability to detect, identify, monitor, and if necessary, take appropriate actions (ranging from visual identification to destruction) against manned or unmanned air-breathing vehicles approaching North America.”

CONUS POSTUREPre 9-11 • NORAD CONR sensors/fighters postured “outward” against airborne threats … no monitoring of interior flights … IAW US law and mission direction • No immediate threats apparent to CONUS • Airline hijackings were a law enforcement issue … the responsibility of FAA • DoD assistance to FAA (through NORAD) required SECDEF approval (CJCSI 3610.01)

Air Defense Identification “Zone” - ADIZReporting Requirement Timeline 15 min from ADIZ *** provide estimate for ADIZ *** obtain discrete transponder code Speed 100 kts – 25 nm 140 kts – 35 nm 180 kts – 45 nm Freeport Miami AIFSS – 126.9 Miami Ctr – 134.2 Bimini Miami AIFSS – xmit 122.1 – rec 116.2 (vor) Andros Miami AIFSS – 118.4 Miami Ctr – 125.7/134.8 DIE Miami AIFSS – 126.7
How can you help?Pilot Compliance CFR 99 • File and activate flight plan - IAW CFR 99.11 • Ensure transponder is operational - IAW CFR 99.12 • Ensure two-way radio is functioning - IAW CFR 99.9 • Provide position report – IAW CFR 99.19 • (a) Report to aeronautical facility (US) before ADIZ penetration • (b) No appropriate reporting point – report at least 15 minutes before ADIZ penetration • (c) Departure airport too close to ADIZ to comply with para (a/b) – report immediately after takeoff – (*** obtain a code immediately prior to takeoff) • NOTE: • -- Contact Miami flt service via freq at Bimini, Freeport, and Andros, or obtain flight following from Miami Center. • -- Remain on freq until you have an assigned code.
How can you help?Be Prepared • Unknown Rider Calls on GUARD (UHF 243.0 & VHF 121.5) • “Unknown Rider, Unknown Rider, (Position ref NAVID) with amplifying information (Heading, Alt, Speed, M3)” if able • Is this me? • If a possibility that it’s you – answer the radio call (authenticate is N/A) • If it’s not you – Oakgrove will let you know • By identifying yourself you may prevent a scramble • If it is you expect the following questions • Who you are – point of origin, destination, where filed, to be followed with course of action if any at all • If intercepted • Fighter (F-16 only) may attempt to establish contact via radio on 121.5 • - Contact appropriate ATC facility immediately • Watch for ICAO visual signals, Annex 2, Rules of the Air • Immediate compliance with fighter aircraft instructions is mandatory
Southeast Sector TFR ViolationsSep 2004 – Jan 2005 103 TFR Violators President’s Campaign Schedule Presidential Visits for Disaster Relief Social Security Reform Briefings Short Notice TFRs
TFR AvoidanceMission Planning Numerous websites have current TFRs displayed graphically Recommend contacting ATC facility – query TFR status (TFR may be extended beyond NOTAM) FSS brief – request a full brief which will include current TFR NOTAMS
Air Defense Scrambles / CAP DivertsWhy Do We Scramble? • ADIZ Violations • TFR Violations • Threat to High Value Asset • FAA Request for Assistance • Airline Request for Assistance • CBP Request (Suspect) • AIR SOVEREIGNTY
Fighter ProceduresOperations | ONE • Contact by 3nm • Lock by 1nm • Closure controlled inside 1nm • No closer than required for • mission accomplishment • Fighters will deconflict with ATC • Min Distance = It Depends

Air Tasking Order Air Support Schedule • Fidelity of Air Operations • Title 10, Title 32, Federal, State, and Local Gov (city/county), oil companies, “Faith based Religious Groups”, Volunteers • OPCON / TACON are not required for identifying assets • Identifying a units assets does not grant anyone tasking authority • Mission tasking/assignment by appropriate organization • “Generally, management of the many is the same as management of the few. • It is a matter of organization.” • Sun TZU
ReviewThings to Remember • NORAD mission • ADIZ Operations • Obtain a discrete transponder code from ATC • Position report 15 minutes prior to entering the ADIZ • Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) • Always check your NOTAMS and websites • Use flight following if VFR • Know Interception Procedures / Monitor 121.5 • AOPA quick reference guide • Disaster Relief Operations / Stay Clear, unless… • Thank You for following the procedures
