1. Polar Plot. This includes the bearing / azimuth and distance/range of impact from the observer. (This
information should be encoded to prevent the observer from being bracketed as a result of the enemy
getting a back azimuth and range to the observer. This is NOT the preferred technique to locate the
impact of the round).
2. Grid Reference. This information should not be encoded because the enemy already knows where he
is shooting and this information will only assist the enemy in breaking the encryption. (This IS the pre-

1. OT DISTANCE
a. If an OT distance is greater that 1,000 meters, express the distance to the nearest thousand meters; if
an OT distance is less than 1,000 meters, express the distance to the nearest hundred meters
b. Ex: OT distance is 1,500 meters, which is expressed as 2,000 meters
2. OT FACTOR
a. The OT factor is the expressed distance from the forward observer to the target in meters divided by
1,000.
PAT E N T N o . 7 , 0 5 6 , 8 6 0
b. Ex: OT factor = Expressed OT distance / 1000
3. LATERAL CORRECTION & DEVIATION SPOTTING
a. The left (L) or right (R) deviation correction is determined by multiplying, in mils, the deviation
between impact and the target (the deviation spotting) by the OT factor. Deviation corrections are
expressed to the nearest 10 meters
b. Remember to adjust the opposite the deviation spot: if the round is right (deviation spot right) move
the round impact left, and vice versa.
c. Ex: Left or right deviation correction in meters = Deviation spotting (to nearest 5 mils) x OT factor
◊ NOTE: deviation correction less than 30 meters is considered minor and is ignored during the
mission
OTHER
EXAMPLES
a. Example 1:
◊ The OT distance is 1,500 meters, which is expressed as 2,000 meters, so the OT factor = 2 (OT
distance of 2000 divided by 1000); deviation spotting is L45 mils
◊ The deviation spotting = 45 (mils) x 2 (OT factor) = 90 meters; lateral correction is R90
b. Example 2:
◊ The OT distance is 650 meters, which is expressed as 600 meters, so the OT Factor = 0.6 (OT dis-
tance of 600 divided by 1000); deviation spotting is R60 mils.
◊ The deviation spotting = 60 (mils) x .6 (OT factor) = 36 meters, which expresses to 40 meters;
lateral correction is L40

c. The forward observer will read the MTO back to the fire direction center to ensure confirmation
d. The MTO consists of the following elements:
◊ Unit to fire for effect
◊ Any changes to requests in the call for fire
◊ Method of fire (number of rounds to be fired)
◊ Target number
PEr: Probable Error in Range - if ≥ 38m (normal mission), or ≥ 25m (precision fire) the FDC

message to the observer that the Angle T exceeded 499 mils
◊ PRF Code: Pulse Repetition Frequency Code; used for Copperhead missions
◊ TOF: Time of Flight - announced for Copperhead missions, moving targets, high

which indicates friendly troops are within close proximity of the target; exact distance is deter-
mined by the munition fired; creeping method of adjustment will be used exclusively during dan-
ger close missions

target - also known as the observer target line (OTL); when the observer anticipates he will be
required to adjust fire, he will send a direction to the FDC

e. MARK: Spotting or illumination round on the deck; used to indicate targets to aircraft, ground
troops, or fire support
f. REPEAT: During adjustment, request by the observer to fire again using the same firing data;
during fire for effect, a request to fire the same number of rounds using the same method of fire

W = R x mils (Width of lateral shift = Range (km) x mils)

L58A Example: The observer knows that the distance from his location to a known point (church)
is 2,500 meters. With binoculars, the observer measures an angular deviation of 62 mils from
the church to the target. The observer calculates the lateral shift as follows:
W = 2500/1000 x 62 = 155 meters = approximately 160 meters (lateral shift expressed to
LT H v 1 . 0 0

The observer transmits: “LEFT 160” to FDC

AMPLIFYING REMARKS
FIRE SUPPORT 21
LINE 1 IP/BP: Initial point (IP) is used for fixed-wing aircraft. It is the 5 - 15 nautical mile
run into the target. A battle position (BP) is used for rotary-wing aircraft. It is
M I R, INC.
3,000 - 5,000 meters from the target. It is a large area (1000 x 1000 m or >) from
which a rotary wing aircraft engages the target.
LINE 2 HEADING: The heading is given in degrees magnetic from the IP (or center of the
BP) to the target. The offset (left or right) indicates the side of the IP to target line
that aircrews can maneuver in while in the target area. Saying degrees magnetic
after the number is not necessary.
LINE 3 DISTANCE: The distance from the IP/center of the BP to the target. Nautical miles
for fixed-wing; meters for rotary-wing. Saying nautical miles/meters after the
PAT E N T N o . 7 , 0 5 6 , 8 6 0
number is not necessary.
LINE 4 TARGET ELEVATION: The target elevation is given in feet above mean sea level.
LINE 5 TARGET DESCRIPTION: The target description is brief and concise, containing
the number, type of target, degree of protection, activity & configuration. Example:
4 APCs on road, stationary...Bunker complex...Tank column in open, moving
north to south.
LINE 6 TARGET LOCATION: Six digit UTM grid or as latitude/longitude.
LINE 7 TYPE MARK: The type of mark used: e.g., WP, RP, laser (include 4 digit code),
OTHER
illumination on the deck, HE, mirror flash. If no mark is available, use available
references (roads, steams, open areas, other prominent terrain).
LINE 8 LOCATION OF FRIENDLY: Cardinal direction (N, S, E, W) and distance (in
meters) from the target to the nearest friendly position.
LINE 9 EGRESS: Instructions the aircraft will follow to exit the target area after engaging
the target. It includes direction to turn out of the target area and a control point to
which the aircraft will fly. Use the word “Egress” before the instruction.
REMARKS: If applicable, additional threats, hazards, weather, final attack heading, artillery gun
target lines, etc. can be given here.
TIME ON TARGET: Time on target (TOT) is the synchronized, universal clock time when ord-
nance will hit the target. There is no time “HACK” for TOT. TOT is the preferred towing method.
GPS can provide a common time reference; if not available, the terminal controller can still exe-
cute a TOT mission by synchronizing time using a watch as a reference. It is passed to the air-
craft as a number of minutes past the hour (e.g., 1624 would be 24 and communicated: Time on
LT H v 1 . 0 0
target 24).
TIME TO TARGET: Time to target (TTT) is the number of minutes & seconds after the “HACK”
that ordnance will hit the target (e.g., 4 minute would be passed as 4 plus 00). Immediately after
the minutes & seconds are passed, “HACK” is said. The pilot then punches a stopwatch in the air-
craft and prepares to put bombs on the target at the requested time. Example: Stand by for time
to target...time to target 4 plus 00...HACK. (Note: “HACK” indicates all participants start the
countdown).
AMPLIFYING REMARKS: Anything else that is pertinent to the mission must also be passed to
©
the pilot. If a further explanation of the target area will assist the pilot in locating the target, that
information is passed after the TOT/TTT has been passed. There is no format for this informa-
2009
tion. Communicate with the pilot using plain language.

For positive control of a gunship, transmit “At My Command” in the REMARKS line. The AC-
130 Gunship will reply: “Ready To Fire” when ready.
ADJUSTING AC-130 GUNSHIP FIRE

If there is a significant miss distance or the wrong target is engaged, adjust the round impact by
giving the range (meters) and the cardinal direction (north, south, east, west) from the impact to
the target.
Marking / confirming targets can also be accomplished using covert illumination (BURN) or with
a laser pointer (SPARKLE).
OTHER
To move the BURN or SPARKLE, transmit “MOVE BURN / SPARKLE 300 METERS WEST”
or “ROLL BURN / SPARKLE 100 METERS EAST”.
Once BURN or SPARKLE is over the target, transmit “FREEZE BURN / SPARKLE” (if the
word STOP is transmitted, the AC-130 Gunship will cease firing.
