Battle Damage Assessment

Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) is the process of evaluating the extent of damage to enemy targets or infrastructure following a military strike. It involves collecting information through reconnaissance, satellites, drones, or reports to determine if the objective was successfully neutralized and whether additional action is needed. BDA helps military commanders decide on future steps, assess the effectiveness of operations, and minimize unintended damage, ensuring that efforts are strategic and precise. It’s a critical part of modern warfare, enabling informed decisions based on accurate damage evaluation.
