"Air Attack" Overcoming "Victory on the Battlefield" in the Pursuit of Jointness for the Army Air and Missile Defense

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the "success" of Army AMD as part of a JTAMD system in order to determine to what degree "jointness" was successful, and whether this success was the result of a focused effort, specific to this region, or truly representative of a joint approach to develop a Joint TAMD capability. An assessment of the Army AMD as an element of the JTAMD served to reveal issues specific to a service component as it related to the joint system and further necessitated an appreciation for the interaction of numerous variables within a complex environment. Dietrich Doerner's model for understanding complex systems served as useful framework in assessing the Army AMD system.
