J-SEAD: Challenges Facing the Joint Forces Commander

Abstract

The Joint Forces Commander's (JFC) ability to execute an effective Joint Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (J-SEAD) campaign is critical. To best employ with limited assets, the JFC has to make intelligent use of available means to create favorable conditions for success. This realization is particularly true within the J-SEAD arena where the unique capabilities of the individual service components systems are at a premium. This monograph analyzes the challenges facing the JFC pertaining to executing a J-SEAD campaign. After a brief discussion on the importance of the subject and research methodology, the main research surrounding the key portions of the J-SEAD problem are presented. Joint and service component doctrine, assets, and current capabilities are discussed as they currently exist. Some of the obvious integration issues influencing J-SEAD are also mentioned.
