This edition of the Aircraft Survivability Journal focuses on reclaiming the low-altitude battlespace. By saying that we need to reclaim the low-altitude battlespace, I imply that we have already lost that area of combat operations. I think many will argue that point, but I also think that we can safely say that if we have not given it up entirely, we have definitely retreated from using it as we would like. In general, helicopter operations will always need to take place under 15,000 feet. Fighter aircraft can mostly avoid low altitudes if necessary, but will often perform missions at lower altitudes. And transport and reconnaissance aircraft may operate in these altitudes, but they most certainly spend quite a bit of time transitioning through. So if all our aircraft use this airspace, why did we ever give it up at all.
