The modern approach to warfighting has affected attitudes towards terminal control of fires on both sides of the Atlantic
Article Abstract:
The traditional approach of warfighting being the land battle, the air battle or the sea battle, the modern approach lies within any single part of the unified, network-enabled battle space. The close air support (CAS) aims at applying optimum fire power at the right time and place, for which every effort is made to remove the divisions between the control mechanisms for each effectors, namely, attack helicopters, cruise helicopters, cruise missiles etc.
