13. Control zone--region where all possible control points are
located, generally defined as a cone beginning at +/- 20
degrees AOT at 2,000 ft aft of bandit and extending to +/- 40
degrees at 4,000 ft
14. Eyeball--in section forward quarter tactics, fighter who has
tally/radar contact and will take bandit close aboard to obtain

15. FOX-2--AIM-9 IR missile firing solution
16. GUNS--rear quarter steady state or snap guns firing solution
