English thesaurus
control of the air
mil., logist.
The decisive superiority of the air forces of one of the warring parties in the airspace of a theatre of operations, or over a strategic or operational axis or sector, that enables the ground, naval and air forces and the rear units of a nation or coalition of nations to carry out their missions without significant opposition from enemy air and air defence forces. When gained in one theatre or in several theatres simultaneously for a prolonged period, it is known as strategic air supremacy, or as operational air supremacy when gained on a strategic or operational axis for the duration of an operation. The seizure of the initiative in the air by air units, subunits or individual formations for a brief period and in a limited area is generally called tactical air supremacy.
