Operational Reconnaissance for the Anti-Access /Area Denial environment

Abstract

This paper examines capabilities and limitations of fighter aircraft performing Operational Reconnaissance in Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. Contested battlespace is radically different from the permissive environments in which the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) enterprise has grown and flourished. Unlike recent experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, A2/AD will initially deny air superiority and restrict operational access to ISR aircraft like the MQ-1, MQ-9.
