Study Notes
Electromagnetic Concepts
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is any electromagnetic disturbance that affects the performance of electronic and electrical equipment.
- EMI in an operational environment is considered hostile until the source is determined.
- Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) refers to the impact of the electromagnetic environment on military operations.
Reporting and Orders
- The Joint Spectrum Interference Reporting (JSIR) program aims to detect, report, track, archive, analyze, and resolve instances of EMI.
- Air Tasking Order (ATO) is regularly supplemented by Special Instructions (SPINS), which provide commanders' guidance and rules of engagement.
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Modes
- IFF Mode 5 offers enhanced security through encryption.
- If an aircraft loses two-way radio capability, the pilot should use transponder Mode 3/A Code 7600.
Logbook Maintenance
- Logbooks are essential for recording unit events and should be maintained at the Master Control Center (MCC) and designated positions.
- Permanently bound logbooks must be filled out in black or blue ink and document significant operational events.
Air Operations Center Functions
- The Air Operations Center publishes several types of orders and guidelines, including the ACO and SPINS, with updates for mission planning.
- The Airspace Control Order (ACO) provides detailed management of air operations, including airspace restrictions and refueling tracks.
Emergency Codes
- Mode 3/A Code 7700 indicates a general emergency, while Code 7500 signifies a hijacking.
Command Authority
- Tactical Control (TACON) refers to command authority for detailed direction and control of forces for specific tasks.
- Operational Control (OPCON) is exercised by commanders at or below the level of combatant command.
Checklists and Procedures
- The first checklist in any binder must be the positional/changeover briefing checklist, ensuring all personnel are updated on relevant roles before operations commence.
Miscellaneous
- Brevity code in air-to-air communication commands fighters or interceptors to divert from prohibited areas to maintain safety and mission integrity.
