What is the primary goal of airspace coordination measures (ACM)?

The primary goal of airspace coordination measures (ACM) is to facilitate efficient use of airspace. ACM serves as a framework to ensure that various airspace users, including military and civilian aircraft operators, can operate safely and effectively within a specified airspace region. By implementing ACM, different operations can coexist and coordinate their activities, which helps prevent conflicts and maximizes the utility of the airspace available.

Enhanced cooperation among users significantly improves operational efficiency, allowing for more fluid movement and management of aircraft, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and optimizing airspace utilization for various purposes, including training missions, combat operations, and humanitarian efforts. Effective ACM directly contributes to maintaining a structured airspace environment where all air users can function seamlessly, which is essential for successful flight operations in complex airspace scenarios.
