| Summary: | The paper presents the calculation model of an airspace control and protection operation cost price. The airspace control and protection operation is one of the most complex military operations performed by the armed forces both in peace and in wartime. This operation is performed by forces included in the air defense system. Its importance comes from the fact that it is a prerequisite of European integrations, as well as a security obligation of any state to protect people, property, and other material resources and the environment against asymmetric and other potential airborne threats. This task, which is an international obligation, is performed by each state independently, or by hiring armed forces of neighboring states, to which they allocate significant financial assets (dozens millions of Euros). Also, by performing the airspace control and protection operation, significant funds are obtained through international agency 'Eurocontrol'. Therefore, it is especially important to calculate the long-term financial sustainability of performing the airspace control and protection operation by own forces. The paper is focused on conceptual definition of the airspace control and protection operation and the classification of the forces that perform the operation. Also, the paper presents the software KOSTMOD as a tool for calculating the long-term financial sustainability of the operation conducted by available forces, as well as by modeled forces equipped with modern weapons systems and equipment. |
