your allied aircraft are in range of a tanker or airfield.your allied aircraft are not spread out or alone in hostile airspace.your allied flights are in proximity to allied aircraft and able to support.
Next, you can assign your available CAP flights to the subsectors you created, and have them patrol or set up orbit. You’ll want to direct your allied flights to intercept enemy threats while at the same time making sure your friendly airspace stays protected.ĭivide the airspace you’ll be controlling into two sectors.ĭivide sector 1, your friendly sector, into subsectors based on strategic locations like airfields or a FARPs. If you are on the Hoggit Discord and are registering as a GAW GCI controller, the appropriate command on discord would be "!gci sunrise GAW " command, use "!gci midnight" when you're finished with your session.Īs a controller your goal is to manage both friendly and hostile airspace.State the correct frequency and callsignĪll flights on frequency be advised will be available on for GCI/AWACS
Announce GCI/AWACS will be available over COMMS and CHAT.Be in the correct server slot (if necessary).Check and confirm the radio frequencies used for GCI/AWACS, general communications and air traffic control.In the following sections we’ll go over the basics of airspace management, threat assessment, callsigns, brevity and some useful tools.īefore you begin as a GCI/AWACS controller on a server go over this short checklist: In DCS World, players can take the role of GCI/AWACS on multiplayer servers to assist your fellow pilots and friends.

In DCS World the NATO AWACS comes in the form of the Boeing E-3 Sentry and the Russian equivalent is the Beriev A-50. The radar system can detect, track and identify low-flying aircraft at approximately 370 km (200 nautical miles) and high-level aircraft at much greater distances. The main radar antenna is mounted on a turntable housed in a circular rotodome, which is 9m (30 feet) in diameter, elliptical in cross-section and 1.8m deep at its centre. In reality a combination of both systems is often used.ĪWACS aircraft are generally speaking big, modified planes with a long-range radar mounted on top. While AEW&C is expensive and vulnerable in comparison to GCI systems, it has a mobility advantage. Today, GCI has mostly been replaced by Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft or more commonly referred to as AWACS ( Airborne Warning And Control System). One or more radar stations or other observational stations are linked to a command communications centre which guides interceptor aircraft to airborne targets. GCI stands for Ground- Controlled Interception, an air defence tactic which developed during World War I.
