Who determines CDE for dynamic targets?

• A. CAOC
• B. Aircrew
• C. CAOC or Aircrew depending on situation
• D. ROEs

Answer: (C)

Dynamic targets demand rapid, on-scene判断 and risk assessment, so who determines the collateral damage estimate is not fixed to one place. If the situation allows and stays within the pre-approved rules of engagement and targeting constraints, the aircrew on scene can evaluate the potential collateral damage and make the decision to engage. If the dynamic scenario pushes beyond those pre-authorized limits or requires broader risk judgment, the Combined Air Operations Center can step in to approve or adjust the CDE and engagement. In short, the responsibility can lie with either the on-scene aircrew or the CAOC, depending on how the situation fits within established ROEs and delegated authorities.
