Fire mission format and flow
A fire mission typically follows this sequence:
- Request: The observer sends a Call for Fire.
- Acknowledge: Fire controller acknowledges and confirms received data.
- Calculate: Fire controller determines and communicates firing parameters.
- Lay: Crews apply the firing data and report when ready.
- Release: The fire controller issues the fire order.
- BDA: The observer conducts Battle Damage Assessment.
- Adjust: Corrections are issued if required.
Steps 2 to 7 may be repeated until the desired effect on target is achieved.
