 I'm Major David Peck. I'm an EAC JSTARS instructor pilot and the director of operations for the 10th Expeditionary Airborne Command Control Squadron. JSTARS stands for Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System, which is a complicated way of basically saying we have a radar on the aircraft that can pick up movement on the ground. JSTARS mission is to do airborne command control and ISR, so intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. We do battle management, commanding, controlling other aircraft or you know passing targets and taskings to other aircraft. We can pick up that ground movement of vehicles, tanks, people as well to go ahead and have people investigate that to see that suspect or enemy activity or is it friendly or neutral. I think one of the important things that JSTARS does is to bring situational awareness to the fight. So we're kind of a bridge between the operational and the tactical level closer to the fight than an operations center or a command center like an air operations center. And so it's important that we kind of build that essay for individual assets of fighters, bombers, search and rescue aircraft to help them to you know more expeditiously target threat or we can bring threat warning to those assets. And so it's just important that we bring that command control to a fight or to an AOR. We work as a team to accomplish a mission every time we execute from technicians working on systems on the aircraft making sure that it continues working to the flight deck who you know bring the jet there and back and especially with air refueling to extend our mission to air battle managers who are controlling aircraft and managing that fight have to work all together as a team to make sure it gets done.
