Aircraft Recognition
Overview
• Definition
• Reasons for Aircraft Recognition
• Detection, Recognition and
Identification of an Aircraft
• Identification Features (WEFT Method)
• Aircraft used by the PAF
Aircraft Recognition
• Ability to distinguish among different aircraft
• Friend or foe
NEED FOR AIRCRAFT RECOGNITION
- the soldier on the ground is capable of inflicting heavy losses on
aircraft operating at low altitudes.
Cont’n..

• Provide additional information to intelligence units in the form of early


warning, threat air capability, or information on a possible new
tactical situation
• Electronic identification has limitations and individual soldiers do not
always have access to these
• provides the gunners additional information before making
engagement decisions
Detection, Recognition, and Identification of an
Aircraft

• An aircraft must be detected.


• The aircraft must be inspected to distinguish the
characteristics or shape that makes it recognizable as a
particular aircraft.
Cont’…

• The aircraft should be recognized at the farthest range possible, to


make a timely engagement decision and to report the aircraft. The
task requires good, corrected if necessary, eyesight.
• The farther out an aircraft can be detected, recognized, and
identified, the more time there is to make an engagement decision
RECOGNITION FEATURES
AIRCRAFT RECOGNITION AND IDENTIFICATION FEATURES

• wings to provide lift, engine to provide motive power, a fuselage to


carry the payload and controls, and a tail assembly which usually
controls the direction of flight
