Q

Reasons to Weaponeer

A

Accomplish the mission • Determine the appropriate weapon / quantity / delivery to achieve the desired PD (probability of damage) Economy of force •
Most efficient use of available resources
Options to mitigate risk • Bomber / fighter I low observable / standoff / UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) / non-kinetic
Options to deal with contingencies • Weather / fallout / GPS denial / mobile target
