The overall objective of the program is to provide information to aid in evaluations of the effectiveness of Army Forward Area Air Defenses. The tests which comprise the program will be designed to achieve a number of specific goals. These include gathering data on Availability and readiness of air defense systems; effectiveness of early warning and alerting systems; effects of the constraints imposed by friendly users of the air space above and adjacent to the division; capability of air defense crews to make ground-to-air detection and identification; capability of air defense crews to engage 'hostile' aircraft effectively.
