Aviation Warfare Brief
Birth of Naval Aviation
• Early Development– November 1910 – Eugene Ely took off from a
wooden platform build over the foredeck of the United States Cruiser Birmingham
– January 1911 – Ely completed “double” by landing his Curtiss biplane on a specially erected deck on the cruiser USS Pennsylvania.
– May 1911 – First Naval Aircraft ordered
• USS Langley– Converted in 1922
• USS Ranger– 1st Carrier build from the keel
up in 1934
First Aircraft Carrier
Growth of Naval Aviation
• WWI– Used to spot U-boats on patrol missions– Primarily used for reconnaissance– Later stages of war aerial combat became more widely
accepted
• WWII– Not considered “capital” ships– Pearl Harbor – battle line severely damaged– Out of necessity, Naval aviation took the war to the
enemy
Missions of Naval Aviation
• Strike Warfare– Attack A/C carry air-to-surface ordnance to
destroy ground installations or vessels– F/A-18
• Anti-air Warfare– Nullify or reduce the effectiveness of an attack
by hostile aircraft or guided missiles– F/A-18, EA-6B
Missions (cont’d)
• Anti-Submarine Warfare– Used to cover large areas rapidly and relatively
invulnerable to submarine defensive measures– P-3C, SH-60
• Anti-Surface Warfare– Cover large areas, destroy surface combatant
threats and conduct surface survaillance– F/A-18, EA-6B, SH-60, P-3,
Missions (cont’d)
• Mine Warfare• Non-Combat Missions• Fleet Support• Command and Control• Search and Rescue

Service Obligation
Pilots – 8 years from winging date– 10-11 years obligated service
Naval Flight Officers (NFO)– 6 years from winging date– 8-9 years obligated service
After Graduation
• Report to Pensacola– Report date based on class rank and available
slots.
• IFS / API– IFS = Introductory Flight Screening– API = Aviation Preflight Indoctrination
IFS Program Overview
• Use civilian flight schools to introduce prospective aviators to flying.
• Screen prospective Naval Aviators and Flight Officers for the skills and attributes necessary to successfully complete Navy primary flight training.
• Provide 25 hours of civilian aviation flight and associated ground training prior to beginning the Naval Aviation training pipeline at DoN expense.
IFS Program Overview
Aviation Preflight Indoctrination
• 6 Weeks– NOMI Physicals/Inspection– PRT/Swim Screen– Aero– Weather– Engines – Navigation– Flight gear issue and equipment indoc
– Mile swim (in flight suit)– Flight Rules and Regs– CPR training– Land Survival– Physiology/LPC/Dunkers– Bay Operations/Drift Trainer/Parasailing
Priorities
• Don’t lose focus on why you are there……• Flying…Flying…Flying…Flying…Flying
– Fly Smart– Fly Safe– Be tactically proficient
• SNA/SNFO training is competitive – be prepared– Earn your Fleet seat– Compete in the FRS– Compete in the Fleet

Fleet Aircraft
Aircraft Designations
• Letter– “F” = Fighter– “B” = Bomber– “A” = Attack– “P” = Patrol– “S” = ASW– “K” = Tanker– “H” = Helo– “E” = Electronic
• Number– Signifies the
sequential development of the aircraft.
– For example – • F-14’s were
developed before F-22’s
– Gaps in numbering can signify models that never “got off the drawing board.”
• Letter signifies primary mission. Mission modifier may precede the primary mission letter. (e.g., P-3, EP-3E, F/A-18D)
• Letter following the number is the modification to an original design
Squadron Designations
• Examples
– VP-40– HSL-37– VAQ-132– VFA-137– VAW-112– VMAQ-2– HMH-366
• Squadrons– First Letter
• “V” = Fixed Wing• “H” = Rotary Wing
– Second / Third Letter• “F” – Fighter• “A” = Attack• “P” = Patrol• “S” = ASW• “C” = Cargo /
Logistics• “Q” = Electronic
Warfare• “AW” = Early
Warning• “L” = Light• “H” = Heavy
