When is target correlation complete in a BOC attack?

• A. JTAC approves tally
• B. A/C ordnance impact
• C. Weapon release
• D. Crew Reads back lines 4, 6 ('from my system') and restrictions

Answer: (D)

Target correlation hinges on making sure the attacker’s data match what’s intended for engagement—the target identity, location, and any constraints—so everyone is on the same page before the weapon goes. In a BOC attack, this is achieved when the aircrew reads back the target data and any restrictions from their own system, confirming that the coordinates/descriptor and the engagement limits are correct and agreed upon. That verbal confirmation closes the data loop and marks the point at which correlation is complete. The other events—JTAC tally approval, the weapon’s impact, or the actual release—are outcomes or follow-ons, not the verification step that ensures the target data and restrictions are synchronized.
