The Air Force as a historical component in the United States
Introduction.
In the 30s United States (USAF) already had recognition planes, since there was still no air force, the planes carried out by all intelligence activities were assigned to the United States army so that they were in charge ofIntelligence missions and operations.
In 1947 the United States Air Force (USAF) was created, who was initially part of the Army, its main task was the defense, control and exploitation of the air field and airspace, it is from that moment that all aircraftThey were assigned to the United States Air Force (USAF) and certain specific tasks and roles in the area of surveillance and recognition for the different functions and operations to be complied with. In 1948 the United States Air Force Security Service was created, who was in charge of cryptology and communications security missions.
Developing.
During the fifties the United States armed forces (USA. UU.) At the request of their government, they created in Pakistan, an intelligence base, where for the first time the U-2 aircraft, aircraft that carried out operations within the country appeared. The works within the intelligence base were based on the interception of the enemy’s communications.
In the sixties, the United States Air Force was already better structured, during that time, the cold war was standing, they were in a political, economic, social and scientific confrontation, which faced the western bloc led by statesUnited and the block led by the Soviet Union.
In April 1960, the United States commanded a mission with a U-2 plane that crossed the border of the Soviet Union and survived on high-secret military objectives, this plane was detected by the defense radars, but finally they were not intercepted andThey came to abandon the territory without any mishap, this was a very successful operation of intelligence, thanks to the efficient maneuvers performed. At that time the Soviet Union supposedly did not have missile.
The Soviet Union being alert for the incursions that the United States was carrying out through the U-2 aircraft, in May 1960 when they noticed the incursion of a U-2 threw their missiles and from them an S-75 missileTo the plane that had not been able to reach for its great operational height, at first the United States denied all responsibility, but after being shown parts of the pieces they had to admit that it was an American plane, the pilot was sentenced as spy and yearsthen exchanged for a Soviet spy that would also have been operating in New York.
Following these events, the United States made a supersonic recognition plane (Lockeheneed SR-71) and more in front of the espionage satellites in a rapidly. The United States operated for some more years, until Pakistan decided not to accommodate them because they felt deceived since they did not know exactly what the end with which they operated in that base, so in 1970 these facilities that were used to perform operations to perform to perform operationsof espionage clandestinely, these were the beginnings of the use of intelligence in the United States Air Force with one of the first recognition planes.
Over the years, the United States Air Force Security Service has changed the denomination on several occasions and different activities and operations were also assigned as support for the United States Security and National Defense, so it is currentlyThe name of the twenty -fifth Air Force, its main mission is to provide products, applications, capacities and resources of intelligence, surveillance and recognition (ISR), to include cybernetic forces and experience.
In addition, it is the cryptographic service component (SCC) responsible before the National Security Agency and the Central Security Service of the Cryptographic Air Force activities of the United States, as we realize more than once has changed its denominations as alreadyIt has been detailed, which gives us an idea that as time has passed as well as the denomination has also been different changes in the administrative part as in the operational part of the functions of the Intelligence Agency.
The United States Air Force operates aircraft with sophisticated antennas and processing equipment to listenNational Security of the United States.
Conclusions.
As we realize, the intelligence of the United States Air Force covers not only the national level, but also the international scope, so much so that one of its concerns is the security of the external front, and it is for that reason that it has differentagents, as well as agencies responsible for observing, collecting and keeping information on any type of external threat and can also maintain the internal security of your country.
It should be noted that now not only uses intelligence, surveillance and recognition resources (ISR) to obtain information and turn it into intelligence, but also the support of different agencies, as well as the use of space and cyberspace to fulfill its activities in functionto the security of the United States of America.
