	Aerial warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aerial warfare is the use of military aircraft and other flying machines for the purposes of warfare.
		Having developed from using unpowered observation hot air balloons in the 18th century, aerial warfare has become a high-technology affair that has led to many advances in techniques such as propulsion, radar, and carbon fibers.
		This included the aerial support of ground forces, and expansion of the "Cannae Maneuver" from two dimensions (Encirclement) to one of Three Dimensions (Encirclement and Vertical Envelopment).

	ACM as a Martial Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The airfighter must consider many factors in a combat situation, such as choice of ACM tactics, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the fighting aircraft, and the physical condition of his and his opponent's planes.
		Moreover, just as a martial artist progresses from proficiency in the mechanical skills of combat to a maturation of his spiritual power, the sim practitioner's mastery of the mechanics of air combat might simply be the beginning step in a long journey of self-discovery.
		To the air combat simulation practitioner, the skills, discipline and frame of mind required to fight and win are no different than those required were that person standing upon the straw mats of a real dojo, facing a flesh and blood opponent.

	KC-130J aircraft makes first combat aerial delivery
		But this is the first combat aerial delivery for the J model, and it's another success for these Marines with the new J in Iraq.
		"Aerial delivery is one mission we do that requires the entire crew to come together as a tight team to accomplish the mission", said Capt. James Palmer, 34, and native of Tempe, Ariz., the aircraft commander for the mission.
		Aerial refueling and traditional cargo and personnel transport have accounted for the majority of the almost 1,200 combat flight hours Marine Corps J's have flown since the squadron, whose call sign is Otis, arrived here in February.

	Air Power:World War I Aerial Combat
		This arms race, combined with advances in personnel training and aerial combat tactics, meant that when World War I ended on November 11, 1918, the airplane’s development had been accelerated to the point where it had become an integral part of military and civilian life.
		The pilots of the Jastas were trained to follow the Dicta Boelke, a series of aerial combat techniques Boelke had developed that covered both attack procedures and tactics.
		Among these men was a former aerial observer named Manfred von Richthofen, soon to achieve fame as the "Red Baron." The men were trained on the new Albatros airplanes.

	Combat Action Ribbon
		The Combat Action Ribbon of the Navy and Marine Corps was instituted in 1969.
		The principal eligibility criterion is that the individual must have participated in a bona fide ground or surface combat fire fight or action during which he was under enemy fire and his performance while under fire was satisfactory.
		The Combat Action Ribbon will not be awarded to personnel for aerial combat since the Strike/Flight Air Medal provides recognition for aerial combat exposure; however, a pilot or crewmember forced to escape or evade after being forced down could be eligible for the award.

	Aerial Combat
		The abstract aerial combat system included in GDW's basic House Rules combat system was good for quick and dirty combat, but lacked some of the visual appeal of a miniatures action.
		The scale used for aerial combat is compatible with the 10-meter outdoor ground scale use in the various GDW House Rules products.
		If an aircraft is attempting to evade an IR (heat-seeking) missile and has a flare (decoy) launcher the roll to break the missile lock is one level easier.

	Eligibility Requirements for the Combat Action Ribbon
		Upon submission of evidence to their commanding officer, personnel who earned the Combat Infantryman Badge or Combat Medical Badge while a member of the U.S. Army may be authorized to wear the Combat Action Ribbon.
		(f) The Combat Action Ribbon will not be awarded to personnel for aerial combat since the Strike/Flight Air Medal provides recognition for aerial combat exposure; however, a pilot or crewmember forced to escape or evade after being forced down could be eligible for the award.
		Lack of a Combat Action Ribbon, therefore, signifies that a sailor such as Jim Janos never was in a firefight or served in an area where he would likely engage in a firefight.

	Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Unmanned Combat Aerial Vechiles: Likely Missions and Challenges for the Policy-Relevant Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Pardesi analyzes the strategic implications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) from a Singaporean point of view and concludes that UAVs’ lack of situational awareness and need for ever-larger amounts of communication bandwidth are major drawbacks that can be partially compensated for by various means.
		Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) are playing a crucial role in this transformation, as they provide the military with a new platform that exploits the advances in ICTs.
		Aerial combat is the most challenging mission for manned aircraft to perform, and it is believed that missiles do not always kill the adversary (especially one equipped with significant counterair assets and capabilities like the MiG-29 Fulcrum and the Su-27 Flanker)

		The Air Force is rapidly increasing the effort and funding it devotes to the development of unmanned aerial combat systems, in the hope that, in about a decade, unmanned aircraft will be ready to take on some highly dangerous missions now performed by manned aircraft.
		Combat UAVs began with the Predator MQ-1, armed with a pair of Hellfire missiles.
		And, once it has an aerial refueling capability, Jumper emphasized, “it had better carry enough weapons to be useful to the people on the ground,” because the UAV is “no longer a razor blade that we consider dispensable.

		His method to combat was to shoot and kill at long range, mainly to avoid a turning fight.
