Effect of the Visual Identification Requirement on Employment of the F-15 in the NATO Theatre.
Abstract
The effectiveness of F-15 operation in the NATO environment is dependent on the employment rules of engagement (ROE). The necessity to visually identify an unknown prior to missile employment has neutralized the advantage of superior avionic and missile systems possessed by the F-15. F-15 effectiveness under two employment ROEs were evaluated: VID (Visual Identification) employment: requires visual identification of the unknown prior to missile employment; and BVR (Beyond Visual Range) employment: assumes the unknown to be hostile; therefore, provides for missile employment at the earliest opportunity.
