anti tank guided missile

…Detailed information and definitions of these confidence levels, along with physical damage definitions for specific target elements, may be found in the DIA Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) Quick Guide. 5. Collateral damage is also assessed and…

73 This also allows CAOC personnel to significantly shorten the dynamic targeting “kill chain.” GPS-aided weapons are not so much “smart” as they are “obedient.” They guide to the mensurated point they are programmed to…

…However, if their nature precludes detailed advanced mission and execution planning in phase 5 (e.g., a mobile ballistic missile threat), they may be pre-validated during the target development phase of the joint targeting process…

…Initial operations may be designed to suppress adversary anti-access capabilities. For example, the ability to generate sufficient combat power through long-range air operations or from the sea can provide for effective force projection in…

41 Recommended HF Gear List Expectation Management Almost all HF radios themselves are developed for the Amateur Radio community. As such, users must be aware of the history and culture that results in a heavily influenced…

…While intended primarily to guide the use of military power, campaign plans consider all instruments of national power and how their integrated efforts work to attain national strategic objectives. e. Campaigns are joint in nature—functional…

8 Organization will be haphazard: No net control or “main” station means that a single airstrike cannot disrupt communications...taking out the leader won’t work when there is no one leader. This makes for haphazard…

36 Expectation Management: Even considering the widespread implementation of the GhostNet plan, it’s astronomically unlikely for anyone to actually make contact with another human being via the use of these shared frequencies. Contact may be…

…The air defense system (a node in the military system) and its radars and missiles (nodes in the air defense system) are linked to each other and to the maneuver divisions and corps headquarters by their…

…For example, the components of a ballistic missile target system might include missile transporter erector launchers, resupply vehicles, C2 links and nodes, meteorological radars, missile fuel storage sites and/or shelters, deployment areas, and the supporting…

10 “What’s the Point?” Understandably, such a seemingly complicated plan/infrastructure is bound to result in the question “Why even bother with all this?”. Though the answers should be fairly obvious, below are few concepts…

…The objectives, guidance, and intent derived during planning, however, guide all efforts, including targeting, throughout employment and assessment as well. This serves to tie planning, employment, and assessment together inextricably. Further, planning continues once operations commence…

43 Recommended HF Gear List Antenna Options Antenna choices usually fall into two categories: Resonant or Non-Resonant (AKA “Tuned”). Your choice of radio will dictate what type of antenna you need. Resonant: Doctrinally speaking the…

44 Recommended HF Gear List Computers, Software, and Digital Interfaces If you want to take part in the GhostNet, you will need to be familiar with working digital modes such as JS8Call. Unlike the old days…

…For instance, mass-produced equipment (tanks, aircraft, trucks) are entities associated with a larger system to which they contribute. Organizations. A group or unit that provides a function contributing to an adversary’s capability. Elements could…

…National strategic direction provides strategic context for the employment of the instruments of national power and defines the strategic purpose that guides employment of the military instrument of national power as part of a global strategy…

…For example, the B-52 may be the most capable aerial platform for delivering land and sea mines, while the Tomahawk land attack missile may be the best weapon for engaging early warning sites. (2) Support…

…PRINCIPLES OF TARGETING Five fundamental principles guide the air component’s targeting process. The first principle, objectives-based targeting, dictates that the entire process focuses on achieving the JFC’s objectives and that all targets nominated…

31 GhostNet Receive-Only Options Persons limited by a lack of license or transceiver, but still desiring to participate in GhostNets can set up a receive-only station to listen in on transmissions. Though there are…

39 “How concerned do I need to be?” - “Should I set up my radio?” HF Radio is difficult. Not only because the concepts of shortwave radio signals are challenging to understand, but also because a lot…
