Overview

BLUF: In response to tense geopolitical domains, adversary countries are deploying and proliferating highly advanced air and air defense systems. To maintain the ability to suppress these threats, United States air assets

must be able to train in realistic environments.

NOTE: All ranges, threat statistics, and data were derived from UNCLASSIFIED sources, as annotated on each slide.

Presentation Notes

As adversary countries, Russia and China specifically, improve their air and air defense technology, these countries are deploying and exporting their advanced systems both as a show of presence and as a show of force. For the United States to maintain the ability to suppress these threats in the event of a conflict, our air assets must be able to train in a realistic environment. In today’s brief, I will start by addressing the evolution of adversary threats over the past 15-20 years. We will then look at several current events where countries have deployed these systems in order to really paint the picture of the threat that’s out there today. Please note, all the threat ranges and data included in today’s brief have been derived from unclassified, open source information. Those sources are included on each side. Please see me afterward if you like any further information.

Presentation Notes

The threat we should be training to fight against, however, is the adversary’s 5th-generation threat, which we expect to come online within the next 5 years. These threats include Russia’s PAK-FA and China’s J-20, shown on the slide. And of course, when you prepare to fight 5th-generation aircraft, you should also prepare to counter 5th-generation air-to-air missiles, such as China’s PL-15 with an expected range greater than 50 NM.

Presentation Notes

Over the years, our aircraft and missiles have done a pretty good job keeping up with adversary technology in terms of range. In the next few years we expect the F-22 RAPTOR to be able to carry the AIM-120D with a range of 50 NM. As you can imagine, training 5th-Gen aircraft vs. 5th-Gen aircraft, each with A-A missiles with ranges 50 NM or greater, will require a significant amount of airspace in order to develop realistic tactics. Now, the increase in range of 32 to 52 NM may not sound that big, especially when looking at numbers on a slide. But it actually represents a 40% increase in range capability. How else can we illustrate that leap in distance?

Presentation Notes

Fortunately, our air-to-ground munitions have also increased in range capability. But even today, our long range GBU-39 small-diameter bomb only has a range of 50 NM. This will make it impossible to strike an adversary target co-located with one of these 4th-generation long-range SAM systems without our aircraft entering into the missile engagement zone. This of course doesn’t even take into consideration the effect of GPS jammers or other EA systems that would likely be stationed near the target location. As you can, see we can’t just play one-on-one now. Rather, we need an integrated approach to the way we use our fighter aircraft, in conjunction with aircraft from other services, in order to achieve the desired mission effect.

Presentation Notes

So why do we care about this now? In recent years, there have been a number of circumstances where adversarial countries have deployed or exported these advanced 4th-generation systems. For example, Russia has deployed numerous advanced air and air defense systems to support its operations in Syria, to include not only the SA-21 SAM but also Russia’s latest and greatest FLANKER fighter aircraft, the Su-35S. This past winter, Russia also deployed an SA-21 SAM system and advanced fighters to Kaliningrad, a slice of Russian territory in the middle of Europe. Last summer, China deployed not only 4th-generation SAM systems but also 4th-generation aircraft to disputed islands within the South China Sea. And just this spring, Iran completed testing of their SA-20 4th-generation SAM systems and announced they had reached operational capability.

Presentation Notes

Now, we’ll transition from Russian operations in the Middle East to Russian operations in Eastern Europe. For those of you who may not know, Russia has a slice of territory in the middle of Eastern Europe, roughly 190 miles from its mainland. This exclave is strategically significant for Russia for a number of reasons. Not only does it provide Russia with a vital warm water port, home of the Russian Baltic Fleet, but it also serves as a deterrent to NATO encroachment on its western border. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russian military presence in Kaliningrad largely disintegrated. But over the past few years, this exclave has seen a massive military resurgence.

Presentation Notes

In 2013, Russia deployed short-range Iskander ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Kaliningrad. In late 2016, Russia deployed the SA-21 surface-to-air missile system, marking the first modern long range, 4th generation SAM to enter the territory. The SA-21 has an advertised range of roughly 135 NM, a range which considerably exceeds that of the SA-20 and CSA-9, as depicted earlier in the brief. Just a few short weeks later, Russia began deploying Su-30SM FLANKERs to Kaliningrad in order to replace the outdated legacy Su-27s. The Su-30SM is one of Russia’s most advanced FLANKER variants, capable of carrying the AA-11 IR and AA-12 long-range active radar missiles, representing a huge leap in Russia’s combat Air Force capability in the Baltics. This fall, Russia plans to stage a massive military exercise in its Western military district, including military assets staged not only in Kaliningrad, but also in Belarus. NATO states in the Baltics are understandably concerned about the pending influx of Russian military troops along their borders. Just prior to the exercise, the United States is tasked to resume the air policing mission in Eastern Europe, a collective NATO task to guard the airspace over Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The presence of an SA-21 SAM system and Su-30SM fighter aircraft in the immediate vicinity underscores the importance of allowing our own fighters to train in a realistic environment.

Presentation Notes

So why is the South China Sea such a hot topic? For both economic and strategic reasons. Economically, the SCS includes vast fisheries and is assessed to also have vast oil and natural gas resources. In addition to that, whichever country controls the islands within the SCS also controls the 200 NM EEZ off the coast of those islands. In terms of strategic interests, nearly $5 trillion worth of goods are shipped through the SCS annually. This reason, in addition to general freedom of navigation concerns, is why the United States cares so deeply about the outcome of this dispute. There are currently six countries laying claim to territory within the disputed region. These claims are outlined with the different colored lines in the graphic on the slide.

Wrapping up with our basketball analogy, In order to suppress the developing adversary air and air defense threats, our nation and allies require the coordination and simultaneous employment of more and more assets across different military services. It’s going to be increasingly difficult to develop realistic tactics to counter these threats when you’re only given half a court to practice in.

the FAA portion of this process – changes requested by ZAN to allow daily use of V-444 and similar routes (the NE corner of Paxon MOA was sliced-off and designated the Paxon B MOA, which would only be activated during Major Flying Exercises). Though the SRMP, Paxon B MOA was re-named the Delta 5 MOA to minimize confusion for civil pilots, since it would only be activated when the Delta MOAs were activated. Since the Delta 5 MOA was originally part of the Paxon MOA, it is included in this updated airspace proposal.

Why do we need it?: JBER Needs CARTEE due to heavy/large aircraft requiring to be stable as early as possible but no later than a 1.5 to 2 mile final. They are not able to stay inside the Elmendorf Class D and comply with these stable requirements. JBER AOI 13-204 defines CARTEE Currently No RWY 16 Instrument procedures, Diverse Departure only is rarely used and not a factor due to ”usually” sufficient climb gradient.

2017 LOA currently being drafted between 11AF and 354OG 42

Presenter

Presentation Notes

1996 LOA: 354FW and FAA had no specific MOA mitigation only SUAIS procedures. 1997 LOA: USARAK and 353CTS procedures for DoD information sharing and scheduling on R-2202/05 1999 LOA: 354FW and FAA, rescinds 1996 LOA and adds mitigation provisions in attached SUAIS outage mitigation plan 2017 LOA: Removed FAA added 11 AF and much more defined mitigation requirements

SUAISAssumptions/Expectations

Where does SUAIS providecoverage in the JPARC? Now: R2202/05/11, Birch,

Buffalo, Delta 1-5, Eielson,Fox 3, Viper A/B, and Yukon1/2/3H/3AL/3B

Future: R2201, Delta 5, Fox3H/L, and Paxon Low

What SUAIS does not do: Control aircraft Provide separation Cover 100% of these MOAs

How is SUAIS provided? ERC manning/USARAK inputs 8xVHF radios w/ 1xHDC radio 43

Presenter

Presentation Notes

MOAs are covered by 2-3 radios providing overlapping coverage and redundancy in that case 1 radio fails. All new airspace will be covered by current SUAIS architecture. ERC is no a controlling agency, they facilitate the safe flow of aircraft in and through JPARC SUA by providing a near real time communication link between civil and military aviators. Coverage is limited primarily by terrain, there are known gaps in VHF coverage that are being addressed w/ future SUAIS improvements. Remote radios (Taylor and fox) are now required to have a dedicated channel set to SUAIS. Covers aircraft inbound to delta corridor from the east and northbound from gulkana to isabelle pass on richardson hwy.

SUAISOperations

How does SUAIS work? Eielson Range Control: provides communication between users during duty

hours; monitors 125.3 VHF & 1-800-758-8723/(907) 372-6913 for time criticalinformation sharing, & checks [email protected] for non-time critical information; & provides afterhours broadcast recording

USARAK Range Control: provides daily updates to ERC concerning RestrictedArea operations and Army impacts to SUA; maintains direct comms w/ ERC

11 AF publishes SUAIS pamphlet for civil/commercial aviation references

Feedback SUAIS user PIREPs can be submitted to ERC or 11AF Airspace and Range Team

Local Time/Altitude MSL and AGL/Heading/GPS derived Lat-Long/Callsign/Clarifying data

Mitigation Internally monitored by 11 AF and 353 CTS, no FAA interaction MOA floors can be raised via NOTAM if overlapping SUAIS coverage is lost 44

SUAISImprovements

Currently installing radio in Paxson, AK High Duty Cycle radio to provide after hours ERC broadcast south of AK range Improve coverage in Fox 3 & pending Paxon MOA, augment Isabelle Pass

Adding second SUAIS VHF frequency 11AF/353CTS frequency manager drafting dual-freq laydown 2 options: North/South of AK Range or Pri/Sec freq throughout coverage area

Increasing radio capability/coverage in eastern airspace Knob Ridge radio improvements Tok radio feasibility study

Address coverage gap at Monahan Flats in NW corner Fox 3 MOA Remote & stand-alone radio site issues Potential to cover ingress route for Fox 3/Fox 1 outside of MOA boundary

Presenter

Presentation Notes

1. Antennae power is at ~105%, working with contractors to prioritize freq needs and relocate less pressing freq. First RF-AK in CY18 starts 26 April. Charting date for SUAIS changes would be 24 May 18, unofficially use it prior to charting since it is not part of the NAS? 2. Waiting on freq manager input to deconflict pri/sec SUAIS freqs, deconflict FAA freqs, and incorporate GA inputs into overall final plan. Then we get FAA approval. 3. Previous Tok site now has interference problem at AK site, investigating ATT option as a POTENTIAL option. Moving Knob Ridge plan vs. adding Tok and keeping knob Ridge where it is plan is still TBD. 4. Cantwell RCO radio has no power at FAA site but additional options remain for support w/ ATT/AK; drives a 10x price increase if this is a remote site DoD has to support.

“Three Days?!”

49

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:23 -------------------------------------------- NOTAM timeframes are hard to read, especially when self-briefing. Shorter timeframes, broken down into individual periods may be simpler.

Civilian Issues with GPSInterference Testing NOTAMs• Planning:

• Too much area potentially affected.• Time frames too nebulous.• Not enough specific information.

• Operational:• Aircraft is already en route or on approach

when the impact becomes known.• Systems related to GPS affected, with potential

impact on Search & Rescue.

50

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:24 -------------------------------------------- Approaches: roughly 80% of approaches in Alaska are GPS RNAV. Only 20% based on legacy navaids. Secondary systems: ADS-B Transponders, SPOT, Spidertracks, InReach, DOI Automated Flight Following Example – C208 FAI-FAI via a point in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii.

Planning Impacts

• NOTAMs that cover the entire state areimpossible to work around. The missionhas to be flown regardless.

• Time frames that cover a large portion ofevery day for the next several days? Sameresult – missions must be flown.

• Specifics aren’t known/broadcast untilbeyond the go/no-go point.

51

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:24 -------------------------------------------- Example: PC-12 en route Badami turned around when GPS went away and ZAN lost transponder signal.

Operational ImpactsAlaska fact of life: Long legs flown from a fewhubs to villages or off-field destinations.

• By the time the specific areas and/or times areknown, it’s too late to go back & start over.

• Multiple trips to accomplish one mission getsexpensive very quickly.

• Secondary systems – transponders and satellitetracking devices – may affect IFR and VFR flights.Search and Rescue missions may be adverselyaffected.

52

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:24 -------------------------------------------- Air carriers and air taxis frequently go to several villages and/or pick-up/drop-off points before heading back to home base. While operating they may not have a source of information updates, especially if operating VFR.

Workarounds: IFR• Shorter & more specific time frames.• Limit testing to areas that are in Visual

Meteorological Conditions (VMC).• Radar vectors to the vicinity of the

destination.• Legacy transponders may actually work in

favor of legacy aircraft.• Coordinate legacy navaid maintenance

around the testing (when possible).

53

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:24 -------------------------------------------- Some of these are already in use, like the radar vectors. Other solutions are simply me, thinking outside the box.

Workarounds: VFR• Pilot awareness & preparedness to use ‘Old

School’ navigation.• A good Pilot Weather Brief and a detailed*

(filed & activated) Flight Plan can make lifeeasier for FSS and the SAR crews.

• A satellite tracker can be amazingly helpful.So can frequent position reports via radio.

*Details can include (but are not limited to): a route with morepoints than the departure and destination; en route updates onlocation and ETA; arrival and departure reports if stoppingmultiple times.

54

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Presenter 2017-10-20 20:48:24 -------------------------------------------- We need to raise pilot awareness at safety seminars and other outreach events and methods Training in Flight Service Stations can be accomplished, too. How do we reach more people?

Coordination Counts!• Between Military and Civilian:

• AMOC and ARTCC• AMOC and FSS• SUAIS

• Between ATC and IFR customers:• Broadcasts when details are known• FSS can assist

• Between FSS and IFR/VFR customers:• PIREPs of problem areas/unforecast weather• Increased awareness of satellite tracker impact

So we’ve talked about Who we are—let’s talk about how we get to the rescuing LEOSAR Small footprint Limited satellites, hence wait times can be significant On-board storage, global coverage is achieved Independent locations via Doppler processing (need 3 or more bursts) GEOSAR Large footprint No coverage at the poles Repeater only, geostationary, hence more susceptible to blockages Location is available only if beacon has a GNSS receiver chip and encodes the location in the beacon message MEOSAR Coverage at poles + 70 Latitude Large footprint Coverage at the poles Repeater only, moving, slow orbit (longer sustained coverage) Requires mutual visibility to 3 or more satellites for independent location An independent location can be achieved on a single burst Box top 22 picture On October 30, 1991, at approximately 4:40 p.m., flight 22 of Operation Boxtop – as the biannual resupply mission is called – was on its final approach to the station from Thule Air Force Base in Greenland. As the CC-130 Hercules from 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron, loaded with 3,400 litres of diesel fuel, began its descent, the pilot flying lost sight of the runway. Moments later, radar contact and communication were lost as the aircraft hit a rocky cliff and crashed approximately 16 kilometres south of the station. The crew of another CC-130 Hercules, also bound for Alert, saw the fires of the crash and identified the location of Boxtop 22. The crash took the lives of five Canadian Armed Forces members – four died in the crash and one perished before help arrived – and led to the boldest and most massive air disaster rescue mission ever undertaken by the Canadian military in the High Arctic. Thirteen lives were saved.

78

Presenter

Presentation Notes

This depiction can be found in the Chart Supplement Alaska, around pg 480.

What Are MTRs?

• Airspace w/ FAA speed exemption for military <10K’– High Speed (>250 KTS), Low altitude (floor of 100’ AGL)

• Purpose: learn/practice skills required for terrainfollowing and terrain masking to minimize visual andradar detection by enemy forces

• Typical profile:– C-17: 310 KGS, 300-1000’ AGL, usually single-ship– Fighter: 450-500 KGS, 500-1000’ AGL, 2 or 4 ship, 2-

20nm– Typically flown VMC, but may be flown IMC using terrain

following radar– In poor weather, may be flown “top of block”

79

MTR Types

• IR – IFR Military Training Routes– IFR Flight Plan– Weather 1500’/3 sm ** BUT- may be IMC**

• VR – VFR Military Training Routes– VFR Flight Plan– Weather 3000’/5 sm

• SR – Slow Speed Low Altitude Training Routes– Speed below 250 Kts– Not published on Sectionals, only in AP/1B– AK has some, ANC area, Rarely flown

80

Anatomy of MTRs

• MTRs are “tubes” of airspace: horizontal & verticalparts

• MTRs identified on VFR Sectionals and Low AltitudeIFR Enroute Charts as thin gray line– Gray line is centerline of primary route– AK routes typically +/-5 nm from centerline wide (10nm)

• Each MTR groundtrack has 4 names– IR-9XX in each direction– VR-9XX in each direction

Presentation Notes

Here’s what’s not on the chart – route width!

Anatomy of MTRs (cont.)

• Altitude block: 100’ AGL to IFR MEA• IFR MEA set for each leg of MTR

– IR935 leg MEA varies from 6,800’ to 16,200’ MSL• Most likely place to find aircraft on MTR:

– Below 1000’ AGL, or– IFR MEA for route segment

• VR routes with 4-number identifier have max altitudeof 1,500’ AGL (i.e. VR1905)

84

MTRs

85

MTRs - Misc

• Special Use Airspace (MOAs/Restricted Areas) areNOT required to be active to fly MTR

• MTRs in AK can be flown:– 0700-2200L– seven days/week

86

MTR info sources

• Supplement Alaska – state overview map• Sectionals, Low IFR charts – individual routes & names• AP/1B – source document for all MTRs (DoD publication)• FSS – must ask specifically for active MTRs along route

Potential Route Revision for MTR 937 (VR937, VR938, IR919, IR921)

• 611 AOC/CODK hopes to develop a newalternate exit/entry point for MTR 937 thatwill avoid Restricted Area R-2211

- For VR937/IR919 (flown south to north):New routing will be Point H to a newAlternate Exit Point H1 (refer to map)

- For VR938/IR921 (flown north to south):New routing will be a new Alternate EntryPoint B1 to Point B

• The new alternate exit point (H1) &alternate entry point (B1) will correspondwith the existing point known as the 5-letter fix “ARUNY” on the edge of theEielson MOA.

• The block altitude for this proposedalternate exit/entry routing is desired to be100’ AGL to 10,000’ MSL

New Alternate Entry/Exit – MTR937

93

Presenter

Presentation Notes

FAA Environmental Office at Western Service Center requested we brief you on our proposal to add an alternate entry (or exit, depending on which direction the route is flown) Segment is wholly contained within Eielson MOA – no real impact to general aviation. The current route structure starts or ends on a restricted area boundary (2211 or 2202). If the restricted area is hot, aircraft on the MTR may not be allowed into the restricted area. If aircraft ask to exit the route early, ATC cannot provide IFR service until the MTR aircraft exits the MOA airspace if the MOA was also active. This new alternate entry/exit is to negate IFR clearance issues and avoids dealing with restricted airspace.

Lights Out Regulations

A FAA exemption allows USAF (and other participating services) toconduct night vision goggle (NVG) lights-out training in approvedmilitary operations areas (MOA). Exemption No. 7687H & 7960G is from § 91.209(a) and (b) of Title 14 CFR.

AFI11-202V3_PACAFSUP 3.15.4.1. (Added-PACAF) Aircrews operating in the U.S. National Airspace

System (NAS) are authorized to conduct reduced, covert, and lights-outoperations in Restricted and Warning areas IAW MDS-Specific and AFI 11-214 guidance, as supplemented.

Operations that fall outside of this guidance may also be authorized underapproved USAF waivers and FAR exemptions.

NAF/AOG’s will coordinate reduced/covert lighting procedures with localATC organizations and publish them in appropriate Letters ofAgreement/MOUs or NAF/CC policy (forward a copy to HQ PACAF/A3/6T).

Must Have Letter of Agreement (LOA) to support Lights-Out Operations.

105


Letter of Agreement (LOA)

Applies to all personnel and aircraft participating in Lights Out Operations that areassigned to (or hosted by) the 3OG, 354OG, and 611AOC.

E-3, Regional Air Operations Center (RAOC), Baron Control or Panther Control will beutilized as Radar Monitoring Agency (RMA). The RMA will: Establish minimum altitudes for Lights Out Operations. Ensure continuous radar coverage and radio communication.

RMA will terminate Lights Outs Operations if: Non-participating aircraft get in close proximity to MOA. A military spill-out occurs. Radar contact is lost. Loss of communication.

Lights Out Operation Aircrew Must: Squawk ZAN assigned beacon code. Inform ZAN when conducting Lights Out Operations. Notify RMA when wingman experiences a radio failure and Lights Out Operations

are terminated.

106


Conditions & Limitations

Limited to NVG flight training in the LOA specified MOAs.

To execute Lights Out Operations, the USAF must establish a procedure toprovide informational briefings to local flying organizations, businesses,and other civilian users w/in 100NM of MOA Airspace. That “informational briefing” is this briefing!

107


Requirements Lights Out Operations will be identified by Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) at least

48 hrs before operations begin (via ZAN NOTAMs).

Lights Out Operations will be coordinated with the appropriate FAA Air TrafficControl (ATC) facility (ZAN).
