Terminal Attack Control

Terminal Attack Control (TAC) refers to the process of directing and managing close air support missions, especially in military operations. It involves coordinating aircraft, such as fighter jets or drones, to strike a target while ensuring the safety of ground troops and minimizing civilian casualties. TAC personnel, often called forward observers or controllers, use detailed knowledge and communication systems to guide these airstrikes accurately. The goal is to efficiently engage enemy forces in combat situations while maintaining operational effectiveness and protecting lives on the ground. Proper TAC is critical for successful military operations and mission outcomes.
