Origin: Many NATO air and maritime air forces have the capability to conduct air to air refuelling (AAR) operations. Although detailed procedures are dependent on aircraft type, mode of employment and national requirements, there is sufficient commonality for NATO Standard Procedures to be developed to enhance operational interoperability.
Aim: The aim of this publication is to provide a reference document covering procedures, national AAR equipment and AAR capable aircraft. This will:
- Provide guidance for NATO and national commanders and staff in order to promote the effective employment of AAR in NATO air operations.
- Lead to a better understanding of national AAR capabilities amongst NATO force.
- Promote mutual AAR support amongst suitably equipped NATO forces.
- Promote the development of mutual AAR tactics and procedures.
