Enhancing Air Power's Contribution Against Light Infantry Targets

Abstract

The objective of this effort was to explore the signatures and vulnerabilities of adversary light forces, to identify promising sensor and weapon technologies applicable to this target set, and to develop new concepts of operation that would bring together sensors, weapons, aircraft, and tactics to defeat this opponent. This report presents the results of that effort. It should be of interest to USAF personnel in operations, plans, intelligence, and acquisition billets.
