Which control type allows clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement without requiring visual acquisition?

• A. Type 1 Control
• B. Type 2 Control
• C. Type 3 Control
• D. Bomb on Coordinate

Answer: (C)

When you don’t have or want to rely on visual contact with the target, the fire control method used is Type 3. This approach lets the observer designate an area or coordinates and authorize fires without needing to see the target. Because vision and reacquisition aren’t required, it enables multiple attacks to be carried out within a single engagement—fire for effect or successive strikes can be delivered on the same area without the observer re-acquiring the target each time. This is especially useful for engaging a target area that remains obscured or moves, where rapid, repeated fires are needed. The other options hinge on the observer having or needing visual contact or a specific method of delivering fire. Type 1 requires the target to be visually acquired and allows precise adjustments, while Type 2 involves visibility but not the same level of immediacy for repeated, unrestricted attacks. Bomb on Coordinate is a specific delivery method on a coordinate and doesn’t inherently describe multiple attacks within one engagement.
