The actions of the narco-criminal organizations that operate internationally have permeated the security of the Ecuadorian State and violated, on several occasions, its sovereignty. Since 2003 there have been some incidents with illegal aircraft linked to drug trafficking, the same ones that enter Ecuador by air. This phenomenon has caused the Armed Forces to intervene directly through the execution of military operations in the internal sphere, where the Air Force maintains the responsibility of exercising surveillance and control of airspace. In this regard, the operational effort has been oriented towards the detection, identification, interdiction and intervention of Unidentified Traffics (UT) that, taking advantage of the national aeronautical infrastructure, intend to carry out their illegal activities in Ecuadorian territory. For this purpose, the operational level has seen the need to complement the air operations carried out by the Immediate Reaction Force (IRF), with useful and timely information provided by the Operational Air Intelligence system. To obtain this input, it has been proposed to divide the intelligence work into phases, in order to identify and intervene in the critical requirements presented by the narco-criminal organizations to carry out drug trafficking by air. The success stories increased from 2018, when the proposal developed in this article was implemented.
