Collision Course Correction Formula 1

During the initial part of an intercept, it is the weapons officer's responsibility to establish a

collision course based on GCI information. It is imperative to have speed and accuracy in mind

when making collision course corrections (CCCs). As the procedures are mastered, the spatial

relationship between the bogey and fighter will become apparent.

At the beginning of an intercept, the GCI controller will assign a heading to the bogey and

recommend the fighter to turn left or right for the bogey (this is called the commit phase). The

weapons officer will then receive the first bearing call. Since the weapons officer has a bogey

reciprocal and a bogey bearing, target aspect can be computed.
