【本書為原文書籍】1991 年「波灣戰爭」（Gulf War）的結果已證實失去防空戰力的伊拉克，徒有百萬大軍，只能處於被動挨打，且終遭致失敗的命運。因此，就陸軍而言，更可能是處於無空優狀況下之窘境，故野戰防空如何以「創新」想法及「不對稱」（Asymmetric）作法應對不同的空中威脅，除與有生戰力能否確保息息相關，更是未來防衛作戰能否成功之關鍵。以史為鑑，防空作戰不僅為臺澎防衛作戰之緒戰，更將對全般戰局產生重大影響。尤其當前共軍各式航空器、飛彈發展之迅速，國軍實處於隨時可能遭敵方空中奇襲之威脅。本文依據美國《2020 中共軍力報告書》評估共軍於第一島鏈內已具「反介入／區域拒止」（Anti-Access & Area Denial, A2/AD）以及對臺灣應急（Contingency）作戰能力。另依美 國智庫「2049 計畫研究所」易思安（Ian Easton）所著《中共攻臺大解密》顯示，共軍已可於不同作戰階段，對國軍施 以單一或多種型式的「不對稱」作戰。因此，本研究期透過歷史及文獻回顧方式，客觀理解交戰雙方甚至多方如何以某種形式的「不對稱」方式進行外，另以專家訪談方式綜整各 種意見與觀點，確立各種「敵優我劣」與「敵劣我優」等狀況下，輔以運用 SWOT 決策分析，探究國軍如何於聯合防空架構下，省思未來陸軍野戰防空之發展與運用，並據以提出具體可行性之建議。
