…Unmanned aircraft are a new challenge to US air defenses, as many systems have smaller radar cross sections and fly at much slower speeds than manned aircraft making them much harder to detect. Close coordination and…

…The theater air ground system is normally the C2 structure through which targeting should be integrated. For additional information, see JP 3-05, Special Operations, JP 3-09, Joint Fire Support, JP 3-30, Command and…

…The Combatant Commander’s Strategic Role (1) A CCDR is the vital link between those who determine national security policy and strategy and the military forces or subordinate JFCs who conduct military operations. Based on guidance…

…dynamic and complex system—not solely as terrain. This implies the joint force should be capable of understanding the specific urban environment; sensing, locating, and isolating the enemy among noncombatants; and applying combat power precisely and…

…Targeting leverages the commander’s guidance and operational end state from the Adaptive Planning and Execution system to translate and operationalize the intelligence from the joint intelligence preparation of the operational environment (JIPOE) and other outputs…

…As a systemic process, the air component executes a rational, iterative, and methodical targeting process, providing a structured framework for analyzing, prioritizing, and matching capabilities to targets. Finally, estimative is the fifth principle, encompasses predicting future…

…The most effective tool from JMEM is the JMEM automated weaponeering system. Commanders must ensure adequate numbers of JMEM workstations are available for weaponeering. However, as non-kinetic and non-lethal weapons continue to make their…

…Surprise (1) The purpose of surprise is to strike at a time or place or in a manner for which the enemy is unprepared. (2) Surprise can help the commander shift the balance of combat power…

…From the targeting perspective, an effect is a change in the physical or behavioral state of a target system, a target system component, a target, or a target element that results from an action, a set…

…These requirements dictate the general architecture and specific configuration of the communications system. Therefore, communications system planning must be integrated and synchronized with joint operation planning. Through effective communications system planning, the JFC is able to…
