  System Targets Capabilities Trends
  Category
  Helicopters  Troops/armored  Multi-role – attack;  Modular upgrades to
  vehicles reconnaissance, surveillance, airframes
  and target acquisition;
   Convoys  Expanded night/adverse
  electromagnetic warfare
  weather capability
   C2 centers
   Combat diameters out to 460
   Improved fire control
  kilometers; terrain
  systems/engagement
  masking/hovering
  capability – at greater
   Payloads – daylight TV, ranges
  cameras, missiles, laser
   Improved
  designators, retransmitters
  countermeasures
  Fixed-Wing  Ports  Multi-role – close air support;  Multi- versus single-
  Aircraft  Assembly/logistical reconnaissance, surveillance, mission aircraft
  and target acquisition;
  areas  Greater use of standoff
  electromagnetic attack;
   C2 centers interdiction; strategic attack;
  and precision
   Geo-political/ suppression of enemy air  Reduced radar and
  population centers defenses infrared signatures
   Maneuver force  Precision strike  Integrated
  electromagnetic attack
  vehicles/ formations  Equipment – missiles, rockets,
  bombs, submunitions, guns  Proliferation increases
  identification challenges
  Rockets,  Troops/armored  Variable payload  Extended ranges
  Artillery, and vehicles  Saturation of airspace  Improved accuracy
  Mortars  Fixed/semi-fixed
   Mass fires  Greater lethality
  sites
   Easily moved/relocated
  Cruise  High-value  30-3,000 kilometer range  Increased number of land
  Missiles military/industrial  360-degree threat; very low attack variants
  complexes
  radar signature  Reduced radar signatures
   Airports and
   Air, sea, or ground launched  Improved accuracy and
  seaports
  increased range
   Warheads – conventional,
   Logistical areas
  weapons of mass destruction,
   C2 centers submunitions
   Maneuver force
  concentrations
  Tactical Air-  Armored vehicles  >100 kilometer range  Improved accuracy and
  to-Surface  Radars  Supersonic speeds (Mach 3) lethality
