The purpose of this report is to evaluate and counter the possible terrorist threat of using a small hand held rocket or missile against a prime nuclear airlift force (PNAF) aircraft during low-altitude flight in Western Europe. Determination of this threat as credible is based on four criteria: known vulnerability, advantages exploitation, obtainable technology, and cost effectiveness. Terrorists are aware of an aircraft's vulnerability to rockets and missiles during low-altitude flight. They are motivated to attack military targets in Western Europe. Terrorists, through their links with Arab terrorist states can obtain these weapons. Finally, terrorists view such an attack as financially and psychologically cost effective. (sdw)
