ACA stands for which term?

• A. Airspace Control Authority
• B. Airspace Coordination Authority
• C. Airspace Control Agency
• D. Airspace Command Authority

Answer: (A)

In military airspace management, you’re testing knowledge of who holds the authority to manage airspace for a mission. Airspace Control Authority is the designated organization that plans, directs, and coordinates how airspace is used during an operation. It drafts the airspace control plan, establishes airspace control measures, and works with airspace users to deconflict movements, ensure safety, and maintain an efficient flow of aircraft and missiles in the battlespace. The term signals a formal, high-level responsibility for airspace control, not just a procedural role. The other options use different words (Coordination, Agency, Command) that aren’t the standard designation for the body responsible for controlling airspace, so they don’t fit as the official term.
