…Collateral Damage Estimation. Every target where a weaponeering solution was determined should also have an estimate of the projected collateral damage resulting from each anticipated weapon type. Estimates should reflect the collateral damage projected to occur…

…Effective and disciplined joint targeting minimizes undesired effects, potential for collateral damage, and inefficient actions during military planning and operations. It supports the successful application of several fundamental principles of war (e.g., mass, maneuver, and…

…Considerations include: (a) Limiting the damage to key infrastructure and services. (b) Establishing the intended disposition of captured leadership and demobilized military and paramilitary forces. (c) Providing for the availability of cash or other means of…

…Collateral Damage Estimates Often, a target is on the RTL or NSL because of CD concerns. Thus, CD analysis begins during peacetime target development. Historically, individual theaters conducted CD estimation according to their own standards. Chairman…

…Relating to actions that involve the forces and energy of moving bodies, including physical damage to or destruction of targets through use of bombs, missiles, bullets, and similar projectiles. (AFDD 2-1.9) law of armed…

…Collateral Damage Estimation Tools Targeteers require a common tool allowing them to conduct collateral damage estimation and mitigation to ensure compliance with ROE and the LOAC. TRAINING AND EXERCISES There is no longer a specific Air…

…Furthermore, this policy requires operations personnel to report collateral damage to civilian harm assessment cells (CHACs).19 ROLE OF THE JUDGE ADVOCATE Judge advocates assist the commander, planners, and operators with reviewing targets for compliance with…

…The ROE may contain such information as target approval authorities for certain types or classes of targets (e.g., economic objects, lines of communication), and approval authority for time-sensitive or high-collateral damage targets. It…

…Physical characteristics are analyzed to determine the target’s susceptibility to damage, disruption, or other effect. They include such elements as weight, shape, volume, construction, and sturdiness. (5) Entity-Level Target Development. Entity-level target development…

…Over a decade of lessons learned from conflicts since DESERT STORM emphasize that the traditional concepts, practices, organizations, and tool sets constituting traditional “battle damage assessment” (BDA) do not meet warfighters’ needs for assessment that can…

…Collateral damage estimates are performed. g. Collateral effects estimates for chemical, biological, or radiological targets and environmental concerns are performed. (e) Step 5—Engage 1. In this step, action is taken against the target (see Figure…

…Collateral Damage Estimation. While CAOC personnel can conduct most of the effort required to estimate collateral damage, some estimates require advanced

…The focus of OA is also much broader than TA’s, expanding from simple destruction, attrition, or damage to the entire range of effects options. OA answers mid- to long-term (days and beyond) questions such…

…TA consists of several component elements: › Physical damage assessment (PDA) estimates the extent of physical damage to a target based upon observation or empirically based interpretation. PDA involves cooperative effort between units in the field and…

…JADOCS provides detailed information about each target, including capabilities to enable fire support personnel to positively identify targets, estimate collateral damage, avoid fratricide, and assess battle damage poststrike. Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS). TBMCS is…

…In the case of a highly centralized network dominated by one or a few very connected nodes, these nodes can be removed or damaged to fragment the group further into sub-networks. 5-89. Sometimes a…

…It is generally lawful under the laws of war to cause collateral damage to the environment during an attack on a legitimate military target. However, the commander has an affirmative obligation to avoid unnecessary damage to…

…TM can also take the form of textual descriptions of target information (e.g., collateral damage concerns, target significance) and geospatial features that outline or depict key aspects of a target. TM are an integral part…

…Digital Precision Strike Suite Collateral Damage Estimation (DCiDE). DCiDE is the program of record for CDE. CDE is the holistic process of determining the potential for collateral damage resulting from target engagement. While CDE can be…
