Global Civil/Military CooperationGlobal Civil/Military Cooperation

• Peace and stability are essential for social and economic development.• Mutual trust and confidence are principal requirements for collaboration

between civil and military operations.• Safety, security and efficiency are common civil and military values• Efficiency for civil aviation means more capacity, less delays, cost and fuel

burn (emissions).• Efficiency for Military aviation means mission effectiveness (peace and

through crisis) and realistic training- but equally more capacity, less delays, cost and fuel burn (emissions).

• Cooperation and coordination through communication.• Civil/military cooperation is essential at national, regional and

international levels.• Airspace is a continuum and a common limited resource for all civil and

military users.

Regional Civil Military Cooperation Examples (2013)

• Australia: maximising the use of airspace through review – resulting in a reduction of Australian restricted areas from 81 to 15. Different levels of entry status by the independent airspace authority, providing flexibility.

• China: military collaboration was a priority to release airspace and operate more flexibly, particularly to increase temporary routes and reduce permanently segregated airspace.

• Hong Kong, China: differing levels of civilian access to military airspace, and uncertainty of information from military for planning.

• India: 35% of Indian airspace ‘military reserved’, so air traffic growth problematic with conflicting civil, military and space user requirements.

• Japan: integrated CIVIL/MIL planning, airspace authority vested in JCAB.• Thailand: there was cooperation with the military, although about 70% of

Thailand’s airspace was affected by SUA.

U.S. Key Civil/Military Cooperative Interactions for Air Traffic Management

April 21, 2023

Legislative Framework


April 21, 2023

Civil / Military Coordination• The FAA maintain a direct communication

channel with– Department of Homeland Security– Department of Defense– Other key agencies involved in aviation security

• Key Objectives are– Harmonization of defense, security with NAS safety and

efficiency requirements

• Scope ranges from tactical operations to strategic planning


April 21, 2023

Civil / Military Coordination

• FAA plays a critical role in supporting the U.S. military’s national defense mission

• Success between the FAA and the U.S. military is built on respect and understanding

Civil / Military Coordination


• FAA works with civil operators, the U.S. military and other stakeholders to balance competing demands for airspace access and air navigation services.

• Military air missions integrated into civil air traffic to support defense efforts and safe and efficient civil aviation

• Emergence of divergent technologies challenge established arrangements for sharing of infrastructure

• Complicated near and cross border defense and law enforcement operations

April 21, 2023

Flexible Use of Airspace


• The U.S. Special Use of Airspace (ICAO FUA) program – Limits number and times SUA areas are used– Allow ATC to issue clearances – no mil operations

• Key Objectives are– Ensure military services meet their needs– Airspace designated for mil. is released to the FAA

when no longer in use• Based on Letters of Agreement (LOA) and Letters of

Procedure (LOP) between FAA and Department of Defense
