Training mission for groups to develop and practice SEAD procedures and doctrine against a large-scale networked SAM system.
This mission is designed as a large-scale sandbox to test and practice SEAD doctrine. It is meant to be difficult and requires significant effort to roll back the SAM network. The enemy IADS consists of four separate zones; East, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and West. See the reference picture for zone coverages. Each zone consists of a mix of early warning radars, medium- and short-range IADS integrated SAMs, along with unnetworked tactical SAMs and ADA. The network is laid out in a realistic, state of war configuration. Defenses are concentrated around areas of military importance, but defenses are also deployed to defend potential avenues of ingress to those areas.
SAMs are connected via the Skynet IADS network. Early warning radars will provide pictures to the network, and allow SAMs to activate their radars only when targets are within range. Each area is commanded by a separate command center. See the reference picture for the area of the command center location. Destruction of the command center will remove the SAMs in that zone from the network, forcing the SAMs to autonomously scan and acquire targets. SAMs can also detect HARMs and may turn off their radars to prevent destruction. If able, SAMs will also attempt to intercept incoming missiles.
Command centers are located at:
East: N 27-08-01.17 E 57-04-33.81
Bandar Abbas: N 27-14-11.78 E 56-23-43.27
Qeshm: N 26-45-36.71 E 55-53-49.78
West: N 27-27-50.12 E 55-25-26.99
The networked SAMs per zone consist of the following.
East:
SA-11
Bandar Abbas:
SA-10
SA-15
HAWK
SA-2
SA-11
West:
SA-2
SA-6
Qeshm Island:
SA-11
Blue flights are currently configured in an anti-radiation mission profile. Hornets with HARMs and TALDs, Tomcats with TLADs. Tactics should be centered around disabling EW and SAM radars. If desired, ground-based aircraft can be used to use non-HARM missiles and bombs. Later on the development of power networks will also enable targeting and power stations to disable the network.
Blue flights available consist of the following.
8x F-18- Air Start
8x F-14- Air Start
8x F-16- Air Start
4x F-18- Ground start @ Khasab
4x F-16- Ground start @ Khasab
4x F-14- Ground start @ Khasab
F-18s are equipped with AGM-88C HARMs and TALDs for direct SEAD.
F-16s are equipped with AGM-88C HARMs for direct SEAD.
F-14s are equipped with ADM-141 TLADs for the decoying of SAM systems.
There are also 4x AI JF-17s, one for each IADS zone, available for jamming of the SAM systems. Once activated each selected JF-17 will push south to north through it's assigned IADS zone until it reaches the other side. See the reference picture for jammer aircraft routes. Do not activate until you are prepared to take advantage of it's jamming support.
Planned future features include:
Additional Blue aircraft for SEAD work.
Red CAP coordinated with IADS.
July 2023- Updated to include F-16's, TALDs on the Hornets
July 2023- Updated to 2.8
August 2023- Updated briefing and added voiceovers
