Way for aircraft to safely exit the target area
Direction or location
BOT differences
Requires aircrew to be tally contact captured intended target
Coordinate accuracy or TLE is not as important
Attacks under type 1 control are always BOT attacks
However a BOT attack is not always type 1
BOT advantages
For moving target scenarios, BOT is much more accurate and timely than BOC
For low threat environments that allow continuous observation by CAS aircrew, BOT can be more expeditious due to high aircrew SA
Unguided weapons are much more accurate when employed BOT
BOC differences
When the JTAC determines that desired effects against target can be achieved with ordinance employing on a specified set of coordinates
While no specific level of TLE required, great care must be taken to ensure that the target location is obtained with precision and accuracy required by CC tactical risk
Aircrew will read back from aircraft system
BOC advantages
JTAC does not need to delay the attack to build the CAs aircrew visual awareness to support tally
More expeditious and safer in nonpermissive environments that make target observation difficult
More expeditious where accurate coordinates can be passed for non moving targets prior to CAs aircraft check in
