FM/BG-1143.V1.01 - Observer coordination cues
Clear communication between fire controllers and observers ensures accurate spotting and adjustment of rounds in flight. Standard cues provide consistent timing references for visual acquisition and correction:
| Proword | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SHOT | Signals the observer to begin tracking the round’s flight path. |
| SPLASH | Provides a warning to visually acquire the round's impact. |
| ROUNDS COMPLETE | Confirms the mission has ended, prompting assessment or retasking. |
These cues support accurate correction and enable timely battle damage assessment (BDA).
