reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1178432 | Open PDF

Abstract:

To meet emerging capabilities required to defend dispersed air bases under the Air Force's Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operating concept, Security Forces should invest in signature management, electronic warfare, and Counter-small UAS (C-sUAS) by organizing and training two new Air Force Specialty Code shreds: a Signals Specialist and a sUAS Specialist. Additionally, designating ACE Defense Teams (ADETs) that train, certify, and deploy as one cohesive unit will better meet the projected needs of a Geographic Combatant Commander engaged in high-end combat.
