Airborne Command Post

Japanese: 空中指令機 - くうちゅうしれいき(英語表記)airborne command post
Airborne Command Post
Abbreviation: ACP. A large aircraft equipped with the necessary equipment to wait in the air in the event of an emergency and to allow the commander, staff, and operator on board to function as an alternative command post if the command post on the ground is destroyed. There are various levels of aircraft, from national-level command aircraft that would command strategic forces in the event of an all-out nuclear war, to command aircraft that would command battles in a single region. All of them take advantage of the fact that they are airborne, making them less susceptible to damage from nuclear attacks and expanding the area that communications can cover.
