Tactical Commanders
The Engaged Warfighter
- UAV is being used to enhance a weapon system.
- Attributes: Same as Integrated Warfighter.
- The Engaged Warfighter is the customer and TC
- Forward Air Controllers
- SCAR Commanders
- Surface Fire Support Commanders
Notes:
The Engaged Warfighter is similar to Integrated Warfighter, but takes it one step further. The Engaged Warfighter uses the UAV to enhance a weapon. This commander has similar qualities as the Integrated Warfighter, but must also have ability/training to call and direct weapons on target similar to a FAC, Surface Fire Support Commanders or SCAR Commanders. Again, allowing the UAV Tactical Commander the direct ability to call for and direct weapons on target reduces time from detection to weapons on target and relieves the requirement of a manned aircraft to do this mission.
