This report presents a basis for analysis of modern air combat vehicles, manned as well as unmanned. An accurate performance assessment of military aircraft is important to use air systems appropriately, given characteristics of one's own aircraft and an opponents. This goes all the way from development of tactics to strategic decisions on priorities in coming generations of aircraft systems, since methods from this area kan be used to balance the complete characteristics also for modern multirole aircraft.
