Intro To ADA
INTRODUCTION TO AIR DEFENCE ARTILLERY (ADA)
INTRODUCTION
1. In the modern battlefield, air power is considered as a significant component of warfare. In modern war the first phase of air battle starts with the massive air attack to gain air superiority and the subsequent phase of attack will commence against the manoeuvre forces and their supporting elements. The aim of the second phase of attack would be to shape the battle field by isolating and reducing the ability of manoeuvre forces for ground campaign with minimum casualties. Gulf War is a practical demonstration of this prophecy where defences were ruined, command posts knocked out, communications disrupted, and supplies destroyed by the air action. In the future battlefield, our army is also likely to operate against a foe that will remain superior in terms of technology and resources, mostly in the air power. Therefore, the survival of our army components on the face of adversary’s air superiority has been a serious concern for our ground force commander
2. To protect and preserve sovereignty and integrity of a small state like ours, particularly with limited resources, AD ranks one of the top most priorities. Even if the resources are managed, the inadequacy of country’s depth and the location of enemy air bases will certainly reduce the effectiveness of the Interceptor fighters, as these would get less response time. Therefore, more and more dependency on ADA forces is a viable option because these are comparatively less costly, easy to maintain and not much affected by country’s depth.
AIM
3. To give a brief idea about ADA.
SCOPE
4. The presentation will be unfolded in Three phases under following sequence: a. PHASE-I.
(1) History of ADA.
(2) Related Definitions of ADA. (3) Principles of ADA Employment. (4) Types of ADA Equipment. b. PHASE-II.
(1) Threat Perception.
(2) ADA of BD.
(3) Roles and Employment of ADA.
(4) Assets Merit ADA Protection. c. PH-III.
