Spanish term

acción en profundidad

Spanish to English Other Military / Defense Artillery
This translation is for the Spanish armed forces, whose monolingual glossary aspires to be bllingual. This term refers to one of the criteria for the deployment of anti-aircraft artillery where the artillery units are placed in such a way that enemy aircraft flying towards their objective experience a continuous volume of fire.

Layered air defence (in depth)

The anti aircraft defence system has several layers of gun and missile systems that track and engage enemy aircraft as they close on the objective. This defensive action could begin as far as 300 km from the objective.
Since the original term uses 'en profundidad', you have the option of calling it "Layered air defence in depth"

Should read "as they close in on the objective"
