Purpose of military air vehiclePurpose of military air vehicle

Main output of air vehicle are attributes and capabilities for performance of air mission. Also outputs are the self-emitted, echo and response signals, reactions by influences from environment and losses.

Purpose of military air vehicle can be determinated by its environment:– Survival– Result

Determined by friendly environment result can be:

– transfer people, armament, military tools and materials by landing or parachute,

– transfer optical and/or electronic tools over determined territory for reconnaissance,

– transfer bombs, missiles, torpedo, mines and/or guns for strikes against ground targets by remote control or for self-direction,

– reconnaissance, capture, diversion or kill enemy air targets,

– air exploration and save people– etc.

Main result of military air Main result of military air vehiclevehicle must be determined by must be determined by
