Air Defense Intercept Training
• CAP has supported 182 Air Defense Intercept training missions in FY15 for 815 Sorties
• CAP serves as targets to allow units to train and even be evaluated in intercepting general aviation aircraft
• CAP crews also work with ground defense radar units for their training
Counterdrug & Drug Interdiction
Low Level Route Surveys &Range Support
• 500 to 1,000 hours of LLRS missions are flown annually across the US; thousands more possible to cover 70,000 miles of routes
• Approximately 500 hours of range support has typically been flown each year, but increasing already
Unmanned Aircraft Escort
• CO, NC, ND, SC, and TX have already supported missions
• Expect more missions as UAVs become more prevalent and FAA rules are solidified
• Requires training and planning
More Sensor Equipped Aircraft
Inexpensive Mini UAV Applications for CAP
Bottom Line
• There are lots of potential opportunities for new and expanding missions
• Expect increased visibility on CAP missions at all levels – mistakes will be noticed as well as benefits
• Good work brings more good work
• Don’t expect missions to be handed to CAP on a silver platter
• Need a professional PA force to positively shape the image of CAP to the USAF, DoD and the rest of the world…no more best kept secret
