Gufl Strike

摘要

The Gulf States continue to build-up inventories of advanced multi-role fighters and attack aircraft types, including helicopters, all of which require a range of all-weather precision-guided munitions (PGM) and sensors. These facilitate networked 'sensor-to-shooter' fusion to support multi-national operations such as the 2011 NATO-led Libya air campaign. The Libyan air campaign involved six Qatari Mirage 2000 fighters and six F-16 Desert Falcons from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In any future conflict in the Gulf region, Networked 'sensor-to-shooter' fusion would be even more important in any future regional scenario, from limited strikes to all out war.
