Traduction de «Air sovereignty operations centre » (Anglais → Français) :

Those ways included the immediate response of the Canadian Forces, which was to provide support to those aircraft that had been diverted to many areas in Canada, most of them very remote, but also the requirements to very quickly energize our air defence activity, our air sovereignty operations, and provide F-18 support internally to protect the country, as opposed to what had traditionally been, during the Cold War, external support.

Building upon the experiences of the External Borders Practitioners’ Common Unit and the operational and training centres specialised in the different aspects of control and surveillance of land, air and maritime borders respectively, which have been set up by Member States, the Agency may itself create specialised branches responsible for dealing with land, air and maritime borders.

Air sovereignty and air defence operations have been enduring missions for NORAD since its genesis.

It also includes any storage reservoirs for the operating medium and the return lines, but not the vehicle's engine (except for the purposes of item 4.1.3) or its drive to the energy source; 1.3.4.1. Energy source means that part of the energy supply which provides the energy in the required form e.g. hydraulic pump, air compressor; 1.3.4.2. Energy reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the energy provided by the energy source is stored; 1.3.4.3. Storage reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the operating medium is stored at or near to the atmospheric pressure. 1.4. Steering parameters 1.4.1. Steerin ...[+++]g control effort means the force applied to the steering control in order to steer the vehicle; 1.4.2. Steering time means the period of time from the beginning of the movement of the steering control to the moment at which the steered wheels have reached a specific steering angle; 1.4.3. Steering angle means the angle between the projection of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the line of intersection of the wheelplane (being the central plane of the tyre, normal to the spin axis of the wheel) and the road surface; 1.4.4. Steering forces mean all the forces operating in the steering transmission; 1.4.5 Mean steering ratio means the ratio of the angular displacement of the steering control to the mean of the swept steering angle of the steered wheels for a full lock-to-lock turn; 1.4.6. Turning circle means the circle within which are located the projections onto the ground plane of all the points of the vehicle, excluding the external mirrors and the front direction indicators, when the vehicle is driven in a circle; 1.4.7. Nominal radius of steering control means in the case of a steering wheel the shortest dimension from its centre of rotation to the outer edge of the rim. In the case of any other form of control, it means the distance between its centre of rotation and the point at which the steering effort is applied. ...

As an example, the U.S. drew down its permanent presence in Iceland, and the operations centre that had been established there for quite some time has been stood down as a permanent presence, and NATO then rotates aircraft in and out of Iceland on a regular basis — it is not permanent — to provide for some of the air sovereignty and security that Iceland needs.

We have worked with Iceland to provide them better visibility on the NORAD mission so that they can fuse that with the NATO Combined Air Operations Center who deals with the European airspace in a NORAD-like role, namely, air sovereignty and security, so that Iceland can have a better common operating picture.
