AIR DEFENSE BOS
Needs Emphasis
TREND 1: Early warning operations.
PROBLEMS:
1. Brigade Air Defense Artillery (ADA) units have experienced difficulty maintaining consistent early warning.
2. Light and special divisions interim sensor (LSDIS) early warning radars have been improperly placed, resulting in the system not being maximized to its fullest capability.
3. Battery command posts have had difficulty maintaining communications on the division early warning net.
RESULT: Both problems have led to ADA elements assigned to the brigade being unsuccessful in interdicting enemy aircraft.
Techniques:
1. The brigade Air Defense Artillery Officer (ADAO) must ensure that he conducts a thorough IPB to identify enemy air avenues of approach and then conduct the necessary terrain analysis to determine the best position to place the LSDIS radar.
2. Communications must be maintained on the division early warning net in order to receive timely information specific to enemy air activity.
