NORAD Intercept Demo

In a NORAD intercept demonstration, two U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle fighter jets simulate the real-world response to an unauthorized aircraft entering a Presidential Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone. The scenario begins with a civilian aircraft violating restricted airspace, prompting NORAD to scramble the F-15s to intercept. The Eagles rapidly close in, establish visual identification, and perform standard intercept procedures—including non-verbal commands and escort maneuvers—to guide the intruding aircraft out of the area or force it to land if necessary. The demo highlights NORAD’s critical role in safeguarding national airspace and enforcing airspace security.
