The Western European nations are among the top leading gross domestic product (GDP) and UAE is even with them per capita. Its high petroleum returns have allowed the country to position itself nicely in terms of region control to set up rules and regulations much like the westernized countries. UAE’s population consists of so many non-resident citizens that the government has recognized an investment plan for poorer northern emirates to follow several political reforms. With the country being the same, size as the state of Louisiana approximately, and known to have multiple government, and civilian media stations that address the communication between all different types of residents to include their true citizen population.

The passive Air Defense measures that are set in place consist of many shared Early Warning systems with their allies around the region. Their active measures include Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD), (HAWK), and ultimately the Patriot system. Iran, a big threat, is just north of the Persian Gulf so the President and Prime Minister both agreed and decided to buy and use the Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) to better counterattack against ballistic missiles threatening the country. The forward operating TPY-2 radar site that UAE owns, allows for a more common air picture feed among the rest of the integrated systems in place today. UAE is creating interoperability between all the Air Defense systems to better oppose or put off enemy attacks. Furthermore, UAE has identified a fitting region with an elevation of 6000 ft for a hardened Early Warning System. Although, UAE does have their own EWS their data sharing with coalition forces would be imperfect due to the systems compatibilities’. Interoperability is hard as Brigadier General Al Neaimi, commander of the UAE Air Force and Air Missile Defense Brigade, said, “Preventing partner countries from sharing data …show more content…
Dubai and Abu Dhabi send and make these useful items on a daily basis. Petroleum drilled out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi came into life in 1963 by Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. The bulk of the items are available along the rich offshore area that the Emirates of Dubai own. The need of oil is necessary in order for the Emirates to have the way of life they all live. In 1969, UAE launched its first oil tanker from Fetah Field thus making even more profit possible and allowing the country to form a respectable military among the Arab Middle East countries. The trade empire is growing by the year because of its set domestic economic rules against all trades. In Jebel Ali, an American asset of a Sea Port of Debarkation (SPOD), the trade policies and based on a free trade zone. A free trade zone is a secured way where there are no tariffs or high production costs. Ports lie across the north and west of the country with a major trade route that begins with the Straits of Hormuz. The Straits of Hormuz will cause an issue with its greatest enemy up north because that is the only access point for both countries and as always someone wants to put a claim to it in order to control the
In Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Iraqi forces fired 93 Scud missiles at coalition forces in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. (Rostker) Air Defense Artillery (ADA) played an immensely significant role in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm with units from 11th Brigade Air Defense Artillery and the 32d Air Defense Command rapidly deploying into theater. The effectiveness of the units and their roles in fighting this war proved that Air Defense Artillery was critical to the success of the campaign. Although Patriot Batteries placed strategically throughout Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel played a tremendous tactical role in these wars, High-Medium Air Defense (HIMAD) was not the only type of surface to air missile system in place to protect ground forces and valuable military assets. Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) units also deployed with the air defense units. These weapon systems, integrated with ground forces, provided air defense to dominate against aircraft and Tactical Ballistic Missiles (TBM) on the front lines.
...al technical intelligence requirements (United States, I).” As wars continue, we must remain open to apply new strategies and tactics that will keep us out front as one of the most strategically and tactically sound military forces.
In 1958, an agreement called the North American Air Defence was signed. This agreement between Canada and the United States ensured that the two nations would defend and fight for each other if under attack. The NORAD headquarters, located in Colorado, was initially created in 1948, but it was not until 1951, when it was successfully re-established. The headquarters would not only protect the US, but also protected Canada by using the Distant Early Warning system. The “DEW line” consisted of stations with radar antennae in the Northwest Territories, which would detect aircraft, missiles and unidentified objects from about 4800 kilometres away. Then, the headquarters would be notified, and will respond appropriately, with either defensive weapons, or offensive.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command consists of three joint radar systems: the Pinetree Line, McGill Fence, and Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line).... ... middle of paper ... ... The systems of radars and underwater listening posts, such as NORAD and the SOSUS, were some of the most advanced detection systems of the United States during the Cold War and today.
The organization is supplemented by various other international Raytheon operations such as Canadian, Israeli, Australian, and Chilean offices.

The TIB/MIBs must be able to support and direct the intelligence collaboration, with both regionally aligned forces and expeditionary elements such as the global reaction force (GRF). This is a new concept and in FY11, this new type of remote intelligence support was still being charted for the TIB/MIB. Intelligence commanders in coordination with both parent and supported commands began looking for the most efficient employment of the Intelligence Enterprise to support rapid deployments of the GRF. The prospect of additional intelligence consumers outside of the Theater added to pressure on the TIB/MIBs to task organize to support. Previously, the TIB/MIBs had produced intelligence analysis for only one combatant command in theater and now, in some cases, have over a dozen consumers plus the global reaction force.
(1) “Arguably, the most important military component in the War on Terror is not the fighting we do ourselves, but how well we enable and empower our partners to defend and govern their own countries. How the Army should be organized and prepared for this advisory role remains an open question, and will require innovative and forward thinking.” — Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, 10 October 2007.1
Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) exercise command authority over assigned forces and given geographical area of responsibilities (AOR) in accordance with Unified Command Plan (UCP), and they are responsible to the President and SecDef for preparedness of their commands and performance of assigned missions. Today’s world is complex and it has been changing in many ways and with globalization these changes are faster and grooving in complexity. Globalization and constant competition for resources along with failed states and climate changes generate conditions for more intensive human migration and also make the contemporary environment more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.

The United States must be prepared to deploy against sophisticated and unsophisticated adversaries on a moments notice. The enemy may have little concern for the Hague Convention, which seek to limit collateral damage and noncombatant casualties. Signal Intelligence provides foreign data that analysts can collect, process and analyze into intelligence information. Whoever has the ability to control and exploit the electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from zero to infinity, will know their enemies vulnerabilities, create opportunities, achieve tactical surprise, and result in mission accomplishment. Considerations such as successful and unsuccessful collection in Signal Intelligence will be a tremendous factor in planning and the execution of U.S. military operations.
Much needed, these systems provide a counter move to a possible North Korea preemptive strike. Firstly, THAAD intercepts missiles at their terminal phase of their flight, this phase is when the missile re-enters the earth’s atmosphere and prepares to strike, which is the most dangerous part of the projectile's path. Empirically, THAAD hails a 100 percent success rate. Moreover, the aforementioned battery includes a multilayered shield approach to defense as it intercepts short, medium, and longer range missiles (Klingner). Much like THAAD, PAC-3 provides an “integrated, overlapping defense” to deter missile threats to the host nation (Department of Defense). Together, these two systems are able to complement each other via battle management, early warning data, and situational awareness to create an engaging multifaceted missile mitigation mechanism. However, although these systems have both been proven exceptional in practical defense, their positioning lacks coverage of the capital city of South Korea, Seoul. Specifically, THAAD’s position in Seongju, 135 miles away from the capital, puts it out of place to defend it (Newman). So, in order to bolster the defense for South Korea’s hotspot in the case of a direct attack from North Korea, the US should employ the Iron
There are many agencies that have the ability to perform Signals Intelligence, electronic reconnaissance and most of all signals intelligence from all available sources inducive to the environment. The United States Army uses the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) as its main entity for signals collection. The Joint STARS platform was designed to provide a highly effective, real-time, collection tool to the ground task force commanders during battlefield engagements, but for the past ten years, the sensor has been used for peacekeeping missions. Army analysts can predict the enemy’s behavior by identifying choke points, potential avenues of approach and operating patterns such as supply routes and logistical points. The analysis gives the ground commander a more complete view of the enemy’s weaknesses. The United States Air Force employs the Joint STARS in a different mission than the Army. The Air Force uses Joint STARS as a battlefield management tool versus a collection tool as used for by the Army. The Air Force uses the platform to provide immediate and direct support to the Air Component Commander and continue to observe the enemy’s movement from a far distance in the sky. Providing essential data to commanders such as size, direction, and speed of the adversaries, with minimum casualties while under battlefield conditions, makes the Joint STARS an extremely effective tool. The Air Force also employs the Predator vehicles, which are unmanned aerial vehicles that are used for reconnaissance.
After the crisis UAE’s economy suffered from 2008-2009 the economy has diversified itself and does not depend solely on oil anymore but also on other sectors such as tourism. The inflation rate of Dubai is 0.33% which is also significantly low (Dubai Statistics Centre,2016).The small medium enterprise does not want to take a risk where there are fluctuations in price level thereby effecting the buying power of people and also the demand and supply of the Al-Simpkin’s product. Furthermore,the government encourages foreign investment and besides the agent there are free zones such Jabel Ali which is the largest
