Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses: Air Force Plans

Abstract

In response to the Committees interest in the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to develop and procure future Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) systems, we assessed the Air Force's plans for the SEAD mission as one of its primary SEAD aircraft, the F-4G "Wild Weasel," retires toward the end of the century. Specifically, our objectives were to assess (1) current and future enemy air defense threats and (2) the capabilities of the alternatives the Air Force is considering for future SEAD. This report focuses on the Air Force's efforts to accommodate the retirement of the F-4G SEAD aircraft.
