arms

2 weapon racks

2 × A GM-114 Hellfire missiles (MQ-1B)

2 × AIM-92 Stinger (MQ-1B) UAV pilots are mostly pilots from F-5E, F-16, A-10, B-1 and B-52 aircraft. The sensor operators are from the "Predator" unit, most of them are students who have just returned from technical school, and are mainly responsible for image analysis . It is exactly in line with the setting in the movie that the sensor operator has only been qualified for one month.

Summary of clues:

As an aircraft on a reconnaissance mission, why did the Colonel insist on hanging GBU-12 bombs that exceeded the mission assessment, and was very concerned about the unsolicited behavior of the assessment team. Did the major already have a plan for targeted removal before the execution of the arrest mission? Was this plan agreed with the marshal before, or was it arranged by the marshal itself? Is it in compliance with the rules for the assessment team to directly change the configuration without reporting it to the colonel? It was the injury assessor Sergeant Thad who changed the configuration, whether it reflected his own humanitarian concern against killing, which paved the way for the repeated assessment later. Whether the serious and critical attitude of the colonel also had an impact on his later violation of principles and 45% assessment.

Marshal Benson bought the wrong toys for his children, reflecting the alienation of his family and parent-child relationship, and his indifference to the life and death of the little girl later (almost no moral concern, but based on mission needs) consistent.

The Colonel's briefing on the mission was an introduction to Danford, and in fact he had revealed his resistance and dislike of Islam, which paved the way for her insistence on attacking and destroying her body later.

Inaccurate intelligence made it impossible to carry out the originally planned arrest operation after the terrorists were transferred to the militia-controlled area, and only one drone was arranged to monitor one target, so that they could not be separated after the terrorists left their residence The arrest lays the groundwork, and at the same time, it is also for the last moment to be able to see the situation of the trapped intelligence agent Farah, and then before the final launch, he did not grasp the situation of the little boy buying naan, and he missed saving the little boy within a few seconds. The chance of a girl's life caused the death of a little girl.

After finding out that there are preparations for a suicide bombing, it is estimated that 80 people will be killed, which is more important than the cost of a little girl's life, whether the little girl can be sacrificed based on the value of utilitarianism

Legal counsel's adherence to ROE.

Different members of the Cabinet Office have different starting points for the debate on the issue: execution is at all costs, based on political considerations, based on public opinion, based on alliances, based on previous conventions, based on the value of life, and the point of view of the value of life is finally put forward by the female adviser, Reflects a maternal care.

The attack was launched around the incident, and all parties shied away from taking responsibility. The military pushed it to the government. As the representative of the defense secretary, it was pushed first to the foreign secretary, the foreign secretary pushed it to the US secretary of state, and finally pushed it to the prime minister. instructions, actually kicked the ball back again. It satirizes the inefficiency of the bureaucracy, the political sophistication and lack of responsibility of all parties. In another dimension, the responsibility is being shed. The decision on whether to strike and the corresponding pressure are pushed to the lowest-level executive personnel when the commander has already made a decision, so that they can make corresponding information for the commander to launch a strike. It makes them bear the corresponding consequences and moral hazard. And whether it is an operator or a battle damage assessor, personally, they will directly bear the corresponding moral torture.

The impact of indoor detector failure on the entire decision-making, the importance of intelligence, and the impact of timely and transparent information on decision-making. Refer to the story of the airport cafe bell.

After Farah was exposed, under the urging of the colonel, he finally removed his surveillance, which was actually giving up his life, and another consequence of this behavior was that it indirectly led to the early launch of missiles, resulting in the death of the girl.

After the colonel was authorized to stand by, Lieutenant Watts did not perform, but asked for another assessment. The right of lower officers to review the orders of higher officers and their rationality? Will it delay the fighter plane?

In the end, the colonel hinted that Thaad must assess the battle damage below 45%. Thad succumbed to pressure and made an inaccurate assessment, while the lawyers who were present saw everything and stopped it. The authority of the law?

Two different countries, two different environments, two children of the same age have different fates, the cruelty of war, the preciousness of peace, and the preciousness of fatherly love.

After the questioning by the female advisor and the rebuttal by the general, women are the weakest after all.

The perfect coordination of the whole operation, the operation supported by the big system.

Data link technology, low latency, real-time intelligence, reliable satellite system, encryption system.

Information and intelligence sharing mechanisms among allies.

Composition of the UAV combat team.

AI face recognition technology.

The entire process of operational intelligence, decision-making, and execution.

Use of new reconnaissance tools.

The role of the non-commissioned officer in combat operations.

The extreme importance of intelligence in combat operations-pre-intelligence planning, constant demand for close-in reconnaissance to understand the situation and grasp new situations, only one drone makes it impossible to take into account the surveillance needs of terrorists who may leave, resulting in inability to The arrest operation also resulted in the failure to grasp the important situation that Rafa arranged for the little boy to buy cakes. The failure of indoor surveillance resulted in ignorance of the terrorists' preparations and the urgency of leaving, and the decision-making level was unable to make accurate judgments. , can only issue a strike order as soon as possible.

The transparency of the battlefield to one side will give it a huge tactical and even strategic advantage.

Combat operations themselves can never achieve complete transparency of information, and commanders still need to use their own experience and wisdom to make correct command decisions in the presence of objective uncertainties. The lower the uncertainty, the higher the probability of a correct decision, the more experienced and intelligent the commander, the higher the probability of a correct decision. To improve the correctness of operational decision-making, it is necessary to start from these two aspects at the same time.
