Pre-commit goal
Sanitize AOR
Detect and ID all groups
Pre-commit Tasks/Responsibilities
Detect groups
Build picture using core comm
Inform friendlies if commit criteria has been met
Post-Commit Goal
Detect, ID, and engage all factor groups
Target all groups in accordance with flow selection
Post-commit tasks/responsibilities
Update or label picture QC targeting Ensure all groups within targeting depth are targeted Respond to declare / EA requests Detect maneuvers ID groups Assist fighters with timeline Assume tracking for untargeted groups
Merge Goal
Prepare for optimal merge entry
Employ weapons
Kill/ID adversaries
Survive
Merge Tasks / Responsibilities
Communicate threat
Sanitize AOR
Status of C2 targeted groups
Post Merge Goal
Survive
Sanitize
Regain mutual support
Provide directive targeting / point outs
Post Merge Tasks and Responsibilities
Communicate threats Update C2 targeting responsibility Provide follow-on targeting Rebuild picture Assist in regaining mutual support
Pre-commit begins when
Mission aircraft report ESTABLISHED at CAP or hold point
Post commit begins when
Friendly formation commits or reaches MELD range
Merge begins when
Fighters are within visual range (5 - 10 NM)
Post Merge begins when
All fighters are clear of the merge
MELD
Pre briefed range where radars come out of search mode and into targeting mode to find the next highest threat
Desired out range (DOR)
Range from the closest group where a fighters out maneuver will defeat any weapons in the air and preserve enough distance to recommit
Minimum Out Range (MOR)
Minimum range from the threat to execute an out/exit and kinematically defeat all air-bourne missiles and allow for a recommit by the flight
Minimum Targeting Range (MTR)
The range that the element lead needs to target to ensure group elimination.
Shot Depth Transition Range
The range from the leading edge where the shot Depth transitions from skate to short skate
Decision Range
Min range at which a fighter can execute a notch maneuver and execute an exit that will keep the fighters outside of the stern wez
Minimum Abort Range
The range at which aircraft can execute an abort maneuver to kinematically defeat any missile and remain outside weapons engagement zone
Targeting Depth (TD)
The maximum distance from the leading edge of a targeting group that a flight member must target. Beyond this range C2 owns targeting responsibility
Shot Depth (SD)
The range behind the closest bandit group within which trailing groups will be shot
Factor Range (FR)
During merge tactics, the minimum acceptable distance between the group being merged with the next nearest group
A-Pole
The distance from the launching aircraft to the target when a missile begins Active guidance
E-Pole
The range from a threat aircraft that an abort order will kinematically defeat any missile that a bandit has launched
