Regionally Integrated Air and Missile Defense between the United States and its Gulf Cooperation Council allies is a feasible and desirable. The United States in an attempt to bolster air and missile defense in the Middle East, is embarking on a Regionally Integrated Air and Missile Defense (RIAMD) system of systems. To describe this effort as anything but ambitious and complex would be oversimplifying the situation. Once fully realized RIAMD will produce a framework that synchronizes regional missile defense by linking existing national air operations centers. This linkage will enhance the overall decision making process and significantly improve interoperability including tactics and rules of engagement between the US and the GCC. Regionally Integrated Air and Missile Defense in the Middle East is the future of defense and deterrence in the region. | Regionally Integrated Air And Missile Defense by Kevin M Mullen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
