criteria that can be used by the OTC or delegated authority.<br />

VISUAL (including electro-optics)<br />

- Contact positively identified<br />

- Contact identified but not positively<br />

- Opening of fire (guns, missiles ...)<br />

- Wrong reply to a visual identification signal<br />

- No reply to a visual identification signal<br />

- Ship or aircraft showing no lights<br />

ELECTRONIC<br />

- Contact(s) less than 10 (or n) degrees from a communications intercept bearing (or at an intersection<br />

of two bearings)<br />

- Contact(s) less than 10 (or n) degrees from a bearing (or at an intersection of two bearings) of a<br />

radar or other electronic transmission<br />

- Contact(s) less than 10 degrees from a jamming bearing<br />

- Contacts not responding to an IFF/SIF interrogation<br />

- Contacts giving wrong reply to an IFF/SIF interrogation<br />

- Electronic emission identified as that of a missile guidance system<br />

- Electronic emission corresponding to a fire control radar trained towards<br />

- Electronic emission with changing characteristics (frequency, scan, PRF)<br />

- Airborne radar transmissions associated with data link transmission<br />

ACOUSTIC<br />

- Contact with acoustic emissions<br />

- Passive sonar intercept of a unit<br />

- Passive buoy intercept of a unit<br />

BEHAVIOR<br />

- Contact in a position predicted by enemy or intelligence reports<br />

- Contact closes within a specific range<br />

- Contact closes from an expected direction<br />

- Contact proceeds at excessive speed<br />

- Contact operating airborne vehicles<br />
