Which targets are planned via deliberate targeting but are activated when detected using dynamic targeting?

• A. Unanticipated targets
• B. Unplanned targets
• C. TOOs
• D. On-call targets

Answer: (D)

The idea here is targets that are set up in advance but only activated when a sensor or detection cue is found. These are on-call targets: they’re planned through deliberate targeting, kept ready, and then engaged once the right detection occurs. This blends upfront planning with real-time triggering, allowing quick exploitation of information as soon as it’s available.

Unanticipated or unplanned targets aren’t prepared beforehand; they arise spontaneously and are engaged through dynamic decision-making without prior setup. Targets of Opportunity are identified opportunistically in the moment rather than being pre-placed in a ready state for later activation.
