Report of the Panel on Tactical Aircraft

Abstract

The subject treated by the Tactical Aircraft Panel was that of finding and hitting ground targets. Thus, we were concerned in the near-term (from the present to 1972) with: a. Upgrading the operational employment of tactical aircraft and, to a lesser extent, with looking at other ways of finding and attacking ground targets, b. Proposed fixes to existing aircraft and equipment, and changes in the ways that existing aircraft and equipment are used. c. The level of maintenance of existing systems, whether systems perform as well in the field as they do in the laboratory, and with tactics and techniques which could be used to improve their operational employment.
