Who normally determines the control transfer of interceptor aircraft to the ADCF?

The control transfer of interceptor aircraft to the Air Defense Command Facility (ADCF) is typically determined by the ADCF itself. This process involves the coordination and communication necessary to ensure that interceptor aircraft are effectively integrated into the overall air defense strategy.

The ADCF acts as the central hub for monitoring airspace threats and coordinating the response of interceptor aircraft. It is responsible for assessing the tactical situation and communicating with the interceptor pilots and other relevant entities, such as Air Traffic Control (ATC). By overseeing the control transfer, the ADCF ensures that the appropriate protocols are followed, that the fighter aircraft are directed efficiently, and that they receive timely updates regarding threats. This central role is crucial for maintaining national defense readiness and effectively managing airspace security.
