Figure 3.1. The Dynamic Targeting Process
Dynamic targeting consists of six distinct phases:
Find.
Fix.
Track.
Target.
Engage.
Assess.
The relationship of these phases to each other and the steps that compose them
are illustrated in Figure 3.1. These are the same phases used to prosecute joint TSTs,
as explained in the Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Targeting
Time-Sensitive Targets (AFTTP(I) 3-2.3, also known as the “TST MTTP”). This method
is commonly referred to as “F2T2EA” or colloquially as the “kill chain.” Each of the
phases is discussed below.
