Acquisition
Appropriate ordnance

43
Q

What are the common problems of urbane environments?

A

Overload of visual cues
Uniformity of structural environment
Disparity in perspective: JTAC rarely has the high ground
Omni directional threat
Urban canyon: created from vertical structures
Presence of noncombatants
Closer proximity to friendly troops

44
Q

What are the advantages of medium/high altitude tactics?

A

Allows observation of TGT area, marks, other hits
Lower fuel consumption
Reduced navigation difficulties
Easier to time TOT/TTT
Communication less affected by terrain
Can focus on mission tasks and less on terrain avoidance

45
Q

What are the disadvantages of medium/high altitude tactics?

A

Requires air superiority
Increase enemy threat detection
May require high weather ceilings
May be difficult for JTAC to visually acquire aircraft
May be difficult for aicrew to visually acquire target

46
Q

What are the advantages of low/very low altitude tactics?

A

Decrease enemy threat detection
Don’t need local air superiority
Used in low weather ceilings and poor vis
Reduced detection by enemy radar acquisition systems
Improve target acquisition and accuracy of weapons from slant range
May allow easier assessment of aircraft geometry
