Air National Guard Base, Tenn., Nov. 20, 2019. Amalgam Dart 20-4 is a North
American Aerospace Defense Command live-fly exercise designed to test
NORAD's ability to deploy its Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) and
execute its aerospace warning and aerospace control missions at a
non-designated air control alert facility. The training scenario replicated
airborne intercepts of aircraft that violated temporary flight restricted
airspace over the greater Knoxville, Tenn. Area. For more than 60 years,
NORAD aircraft have identified and intercepted potential air threats to
North America in the execution of the command's aerospace warning and
aerospace control missions. (Air National Guard photo by: Tech. Sgt. Teri Eicher)
