Day 5: Non-Lethal Targeting Flashcards
Identify
Process of selecting & prioritizing targets
Targeting
Identify
Matches the appropriate lethal and non-lethal actions to them to create desired effect
Targeting
Identify
An entity (person, place, or thing) considered for engagement or action to alter or neutralize the function it performs for the adversary
Target
List
In space, there are three segments to consider in targeting:
- Orbital: satellites
- Link: Info/C2 being sent via EMS
- Terrestrial: facilities “driving” satellites or receiving info
Identify
All-source, continuous process and produce that IDs, describes, and evaluates the composition of an adversary target system and its components to determine functions, critical capabilities, nodes, and vulnerabilities
Target System Analysis
What are the steps to target system analysis?
- ID how a generic target system functions
- Describe specific target system components and functions
- Evaluate system vulnerabilities to develop targeting strategy
Aimpoints are assigned to a target system’s what?
CE’s during ATD to provide parameters of arrival to achieve an effect
Aimpoint used to terrestrial kinetic targeting; delineated by a three-dimensional (lat/long/el) point
Ex. flight lines, runways, roofs, sheds, roads
Joint Desired Point of Impact (JDPI)
Aimpoint used in NK targeting; delineated by RF or cyber-enabled connection
Ex. frequencies, selectors
Nonlethal Reference Point (NLRP)
Weaponeering considers what to create desired effects?
Lethal / Non-lethal means required
What are the three assessment requirements for weaponeering?
- Arrival Conditions (AC)
- Target Vulnerabilities (TV)
- Weapon Characteristics (WC)
Comprised of the identification and characterization of an adversary’s priority networks, links, and nodes
Nodal Analysis
Highlights functional relationships to identify node importance within a political, military, economic, social, information, and infrastructure (PMESII) system, associated COGs and potential weakness
Nodal Analysis
Identify
A group of elements consisting of interconnected nodes and links representing relationships or associations
Network
What are the three types of networks in an Operational Environment (OE)?
- Friendly
- Neutral
- Threat
Identify
Subordinate unit formed around a specific process, capability, or activity within a larger organization
Cell
Identify
Element of a network that represents a person, place, or physical object
Nodes
Nodes can be categorized by what?
Function
Ex. leadership, infrastructure, communication, logistics, etc
