Strike Package
A strike package is a coordinated group of different types of military aircraft assembled to carry out a specific attack mission, with each aircraft playing a specialized role.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A strike package refers to a highly coordinated, multi-role formation of diverse combat aircraft, including strike fighters, escort fighters, electronic warfare (EW) aircraft, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) assets, and potentially intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) or aerial refueling tankers, designed to execute complex offensive air operations against specific high-value targets while maximizing mission success and survivability.
BACKGROUND
A strike package is a group of aircraft with different capabilities that are launched together to perform a single attack mission. It is a combined arms effort in the air. The United States Navy calls the same concept "alpha strike".
