air support control

Air support control involves coordinating military aircraft to assist ground forces during operations. It includes directing planes to attack targets, provide surveillance, or deliver supplies, ensuring these actions align with the overall mission. Air support controllers act as communication links between ground troops and pilots, assessing battlefield needs and relaying instructions to maximize effectiveness while minimizing risks. They use radar, radios, and other technology to monitor aircraft positions and targets in real time, ensuring safe and precise support that enhances ground force capabilities.
