Five Factors for a Strong Air Defense

Here are some points that may be useful if someone is wondering what can/should be included in a strengthened air defense. Share them with those concerned.

1) A distributed network of mobile and fixed passive and active sensors: including sensors on land, on ships, on satellites, and on drones.

2) Acquisition of more and affordable short-range and medium-range air defense and missile defense systems.

3) High-energy weapons, laser cannons, and jammers around important targets as an additional line of defense in addition to classic point defense air defense.

4) Robust command and control systems that can aggregate data from many systems, including those of allies, and ensure effective use of air defense and missile defense.

5) Passive defense of forces and facilities: including camouflage, concealment, and deception measures, as well as fortification and the ability to reorganize and repair to make it difficult for the enemy to choose targets and to ensure that one’s own forces are able to maintain combat effectiveness throughout the course of the battle.
