From Theater Missile Defense to Antimissile Offensive Actions, a Near-Term Strategic Approach for the USAF

Author(s): Merrick E. Krause

Year: 1999

Summary

This study examines the question: What strategic approach should the United States Air Force (USAF) take toward theater missile defense (TMD) and antimissile offensive actions in the near term? Overall, the study recommends a philosophical shift to one in which USAF near-term attack operations (AO) and battle management command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence integration are considered as part of an air and space power antimissile offensive counterair effort, not simply an adjunct to a ground-force driven TMD paradigm.
