The Joint Targeting Cycle II-27 b. Target location and plot of movement (if applicable). 3. The track step begins once a definite fix is obtained on the target and ends when the engagement’s desired effect upon the target is determined. Note that some targets may require continuous tracking upon initial detection as an emerging target. Sensors may be coordinated to maintain situational awareness (SA) or track continuity. Target windows of vulnerability should be updated when warranted. Relative priorities for ISR requirements are based on JFC guidance and objectives. TSTs generally receive the highest priority. If track continuity is lost, the fix step will likely have to be repeated (and potentially the find step as well). 4. Output of the track step: a. Track continuity maintained on a target by appropriate sensor or combination of sensors. b. Sensor prioritization scheme. c. Updates to target window of vulnerability. (d) Step 4—Target Figure II-14.
