Bridging the Gap from Coordination to Integration

Abstract

Legacy AC2 [airspace command and control] elements buy airspace today for tomorrow s war. Airspace control measures (ACM) such as Restricted Operating Zones . . . do not integrate airspace users . . . ACMs deconflict users via exclusive volumes of airspace. Because airspace is a finite resource, as the number of airspace users increases, AC2 elements run out of airspace. To effectively put more users in a given volume of airspace, AC2 elements must provide real time separation from other users and fires. Real time control of a volume of airspace, whether positive or procedural, requires communication with all users, a common reference system, and authority to direct/control the users without affecting their flexibility and freedom of maneuver.
