Who is designated by the Range Officer in Charge to maintain airspace surveillance?

The designated individuals responsible for maintaining airspace surveillance, as assigned by the Range Officer in Charge, are the Air Sentries. Their primary role is to monitor the airspace surrounding the range, ensuring that any aerial activities do not interfere with range operations and that the safety of personnel and equipment is upheld.
