Carriers playing with a full deck
Article Abstract:
The advent of the war on terrorism and the increasing difficulty of building and maintaining alliances that provide secure airfields for land-based airpower have given a crucial advantage to the US NavyEs fleet of aircraft carriers, justifying their high cost of operation. The performance of the aircraft carriers is considered to be revolutionary, as it tracks multiple targets with very little degradation of its search performance and is able to track targets outside its search envelope.
