Operation Desert Storm. Evaluation of the Air War
Operation Desert Storm. Evaluation of the Air War
This report evaluates the use and effectiveness of the various aircraft, munitions, and other weapon systems used in the victorious air campaign in Operation Desert Storm in order to aid the Congress in future procurement decisions. Over 5 years ago, the United States and its coalition allies successfully forced Iraq out of Kuwait. The performance of aircraft and their munitions, cruise missiles, and other air campaign systems in Desert Storm continues to be relevant today as the basis for significant procurement and force sizing decisions. For example, the Department of Defense (DOD) Report on the Bottom-Up Review (BUR) explicitly cited the effectiveness of advanced weapons used in Desert Storm-including laser-guided bombs (LGBs) and stealth aircraft-as shaping the BUR recommendations on weapons procurement.
