A SEAD mission protects other flights from SAMs. In contrast to DEAD, it will engage air defenses near the target area and not just the target itself. The flight will rendezvous with the rest of its package and begin to search for and suppress any enemy air defenses within a predefined range. After releasing its weapons the flight will RTB.
**Changed in DCS Liberation 3.0:** A SEAD mission suppresses the package target. This differs from DEAD in that the destruction of the target is not a requirement for mission success. An F-14 using TALDs to prevent the target from destroying the DEAD flight delivering bombs to destroy the target has accomplished its mission. An F/A-18 using HARMs to keep the SAM turned off while the DEAD flight delivers bombs has accomplished its mission.
SEAD flights will be planned to accompany DEAD packages. When the SEAD flight uses HARMs it is quite likely that they will destroy the emitters (when not using Skynet), but they will never kill launchers/TELs without their own radar. DEAD will often carry bombs rather than ARMs or decoys so they can destroy the non-emitting parts of the SAM as well.
### SEAD Escort
**New in DCS Liberation 3.0**
A SEAD escort mission protects any other flights that are requesting an escort from SAM threats. Flight plans that pass within the range of enemy SAMs will request a SEAD escort. A SEAD escort will fly a flight plan similar to the rest of the package while engaging detected SAMs near the flight path and will then RTB.
This differs from SEAD by engaging *any* SAM threating the package between the join and split points rather than only the package's target.
### Strike
A strike mission can be planned against enemy ground targets. The flight will rendezvous with the rest of its package and release its weapons on the predefined location. Some bombers will carpet bomb an area in a single pass, but most will aim at multiple targets. After releasing its weapons, the flight will RTB.
