JTAC
From EagleWiki
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

A JTAC is a soldier trained and qualified to provide control for attack resources such as artillery, naval fires, and close air support. The position combines the historically-separate roles of controlling artillery, naval fires, close air support (CAS), etc. as well as standardizes practices across branches of the US Armed Forces and participating NATO countries. A pilot or other flight crew acting as an Airborne Forward Air Controller (FAC(A)) will hold a JTAC qualification.


Communication

Primary communication between CAS asset and a JTAC is voice over AM/FM VHF radio. Secondary communication may include datalink message(s) over the SADL/EPLRS data network.


Type in Effect (JP 3-09.3, page xv)

Type in effect specifies the level of control used during the attack.

Type 1 control is used when the JTAC must visually acquire the attacking aircraft and the target for each attack.

Type 2 control is used when the JTAC requires control of individual attacks and any or all of the conditions exist: JTAC is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release, JTAC is unable to visually acquire the target, and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.

Type 3 control is used when the JTAC requires the ability to provide clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement subject to specific attack restrictions, and any or all of the conditions exist: JTAC is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release; JTAC is unable to visually acquire the target; and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.


9-Line Brief

The 9-Line Brief is a standardized format delivered from the JTAC to the pilot that specifies the necessary parameters of the attack including target location, directions to fly, friendly positions, and threats.
