Abstract
In FoRMA a game of an attack against Sweden has been made. This is the report from the air defence group. Sweden of today has a lack of capability to defend itself against cruise missiles of any size. Only a few cruise missiles against a few assets could be countered. The game shows that this will last against a large mass of cruise missiles even after a growth in capability. The explanation of this is that the threat scenario has been changing rapidly. The Air Defence needs new capabilities to be able to counter a mass of small, cheap precisionstriking targets performing a saturation attack.
