What term denotes the asset or agency assigned responsibility to deconflict aircraft and airspace within a kill box?

• A. Kill box coordinator (KBC)
• B. SCAR aircrew
• C. Striker
• D. XAI

Answer: (A)

The central idea is who is designated to manage and resolve airspace conflicts inside a kill box. The term Kill Box Coordinator is the asset or agency assigned that responsibility. The KBC acts as the single point of contact for deconfliction, coordinating all participants, tracking who is cleared to operate or engage, and issuing constraints or permissions to prevent collisions and fratricide. This role centralizes control within the kill box so air assets and airspace users can operate safely and effectively. Other roles involved in strike planning or execution may participate, but they do not hold the formal deconfliction authority for the kill box.
