CAS Mission Planning

CAS (Close Air Support) mission planning involves preparing aircraft to effectively assist ground forces during combat operations. It includes identifying target locations, coordinating with ground units for precise timing, selecting appropriate aircraft and equipment, and establishing communication protocols. The goal is to deliver accurate and timely firepower to support troops without causing friendly fire or unintended damage. This process requires detailed situational awareness, careful strategy, and seamless coordination between pilots, commanders, and ground forces to ensure mission success and safety.
