About

There is little discussion about the depth and breadth of the automation of weapons and weapon systems in the United States (US) Military. Soldiers rely heavily on the use of these systems to employ their will on the battlefield and defeat the enemy. There are times when Soldiers must utilize training that is solely dependent on their knowledge and skill, without the use of automation. VACR is one of these skills. Soldiers utilize VACR to identify a possible enemy target that could cause grave danger to friendly forces. Once identified, the Soldier must act accordingly. Soldiers must be knowledgeable in the identification of all types of aerial platforms ranging from fixed, tilt, and rotary wing aircraft and unmanned aircraft, in order to protect friendly forces and to prevent fratricide.
