Air forces across the world strive to protect their valuable resources from both the air and ground threats. Over the past few years, the surface-to-air missile threat has become more sophisticated and more deadly. It is far cheaper and less technical for a country to own and operate a ground missile system than to maintain a credible air force. It is for this reason that the attention to the ground threat has grown over the past few years. This paper discusses the approach the U.S. Air Force has taken in protecting its aircraft from these ground threats and how the mission of Lethal Defense Suppression has evolved into the complimentary tasks of Reactive Suppression and Pre-emptive Destruction.
