Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nowhere is communications between air and ground more critical than in the close air support (CAS) environment. CAS remains an extremely demanding process involving the integration of information from many sources and the repid establishment of a common mental picture of the battlefield between, for example, a tactical leader who needs support, a joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) and the pilot of a strike aircraft, attack helicopter or armed UAV who need talking onto the target. |
