Quick Reaction Alert

Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) is a military procedure used to quickly respond to potential aerial threats. When there's a suspected incoming aircraft or missile, a designated team rapidly mobilizes to assess and, if necessary, intercept the threat. This involves alerting military aircraft, preparing defenses, and analyzing radar data—all within minutes—to ensure national security. QRA is a critical readiness measure, enabling forces to react swiftly to protect airspace without delay.
