 | The Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) mission has evolved into a holistic approach that links kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities to attack enemy Integrated Air Defense Systems (lADS) as a whole. With increasing requirements placed on advanced multi-role SEAD aircraft, emerging aircraft such as the EA-18G must incorporate multiple mission capabilities with an adequately complex training infrastructure to realize their maximum capabilities. |

| The mission of the Electronic Combat Range (ECR) Division is to develop, operate, maintain, and continuously improve a free space laboratory. ECR provides engineering, testing (DT&E / OT&E), analysis, and training resources to developers, integrators, testors, and users of systems that counter or penetrate air defenses. Existing and planned ECR capabilities provide an effective, affordable, and accurate ability to examine installed radiofrequency warning and countermeasures equipment. |

This prompted the U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Air and Space Operations to declare in October 2004 that air base defense was one of the five critical problems without a solution currently facing the U.S. Air Force. Yet a solution exists, but not in current air base ... |

The goal was to better understand the relationship between air track information (e.g., altitude, speed, country of origin) available to a ship's AD personnel and their perceived level of threat regarding a particular aircraft. Understanding this process is crucial in designing effective AD decision support tools. |
