In the Find phase of F2T2EA, what is the objective?

• A. To prioritize targets for engagement.
• B. To maintain current target track after detection.
• C. To locate potential targets using available sensors.
• D. To deliver initial engagement on discovery.

Answer: (C)

The Find phase is about discovering potential targets by using available sensors to detect and locate objects of interest. This step generates the initial target cues and candidate contacts that will be refined in later phases.

Locating potential targets using sensors is the objective because it relies on sensor detection to reveal what might be there in the environment. It isn’t about choosing targets for engagement, which comes later, nor about maintaining a current track (that happens after a target is found), nor about delivering an initial engagement (that belongs to later Engage actions). This discovery-and-cue generation sets up the subsequent steps of fixing, tracking, and eventually engaging as appropriate.
