The Joint Targeting Cycle II-25 1. A “fix” is a position determined from terrestrial, electronic, or astronomical data. The fix step of this phase includes actions to determine the location (fix) of the potential target for dynamic targeting and on-call target for deliberate targeting (see Figure II-13). 2. Inputs to the fix step: a. Potential targets requiring dynamic targeting. b. Sensor information on the target. c. On-call targets for deliberate targeting. 3. The fix step begins after potential targets requiring dynamic targeting or on-call targets for deliberate targeting are detected. When a potential target is identified, sensors are focused to confirm target identification and its precise location. The correlation and fusing of data confirms, identifies, and locates the target and it may then be characterized as a TST or other target requiring dynamic or deliberate targeting. TSTs receive the highest priority in dynamic targeting. Figure II-12.
