…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…

…It is particularly important that this assessment be based on desired effects rather than simple empirical measures of damage. Many times, effects against systems like electricity and communications can be achieved with little physical damage. › Evaluation…

…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…

…For attacks in the physical environment, the assessment confirms impact of the weapon on the target and makes an initial estimate of the damage. For nonlethal weapons, the initial assessment attempts to detect changes in functionality…

…Phase II reporting builds upon the phase I initial report and is a fused, all-source product addressing a more detailed description of physical damage, an assessment of the functional damage, inputs to target system assessment…

…Inputs to these calculations include target characteristics (e.g., size, shape, and hardness), desired damage criteria or probability of damage (PD) calculations, and delivery parameters (e.g., altitudes, speeds, dive angles). Model outputs include the predicted…
