Kill Boxes are not required for all air interdiction missions, but they are designed to facilitate the interdiction of mobile targets and the engagement of targets in areas where their location is imprecise or unknown.
Kill Boxes also facilitate the execution of SCAR missions, engagement of time-sensitive targets and the suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD).
One of the most interesting improvements of the upcoming MiG-29 9.12A being developed by Eagle Dynamics is the SPO-15LM “Beryoza” Radar Warning Receiver. RWRs are not only a means to understand when a missile is coming our way, but rather a fundamental ingredient of a healthy and solid situational awareness, even when “naked”.
A Kill Box requires minor coordination and can yield high effect over the designated area. However, several parameters must be taken into account before “Establishing” the Kill Box.
Before moving into the Kill Box planning stage, it is worth visualising how a kill box is represented and its types.
Kill Boxes are fundamental means of coordinating fire into a defined area, maximising effects, safety, and efficiency while minimising the need for additional communication and tight control. This article introduces the Kill Boxes and related concepts, such as ACM and FSCM.
