Appendix A A-2 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 Figure A-1. JAGIC create and activate airspace coordinating measure A-4. ACM conflicts can occur in many different circumstances. In most cases, ACM conflicts arise when an airspace user (this can include fires, UAS, manned fixed wing, and rotary wing assets all from joint and unified action partners) enters an ACM without prior approval, or if an aircraft fails to maintain a predetermined altitude or location in an ACA. In either case, the first person observing the conflict must take action to resolve the conflict with the appropriate authority controlling the asset, or the authority controlling that airspace and the ACM. This means the JAGIC acts quickly to resolve observed conflicts. A-5. Once an airspace conflict is observed, a procedural controller or Army airspace representative, depending on the Service platform, contacts the asset or its controlling agency (for examples, an Army UAS or UAS control station) to monitor and resolve the situation. If a procedural controller or Army airspace representative is unable to contact the asset, that controller contacts the CRC, airborne C2 elements, or subordinate ADAM/BAE to contact the asset and resolve the situation. If this conflict occurs due to an interdiction mission or an UAS, the interdiction coordinator or SAD helps resolve the situation. A-6. Anyone with a radio who observes an airspace conflict is responsible to act immediately and assist in correcting that conflict. A key enabler for identifying conflicts is an accurate air picture as provided by the AMD element, combined with maintaining and displaying the latest air picture with current and planned ACMs, thus maintaining a current air picture. (See figure A-2 on page A-3, for a detailed flowchart of the ACM conflict resolution process).
