8307 ATTACK SUPPORT<br />

Attack support is the generic term for all forms of tactical assistance given by a shadower to enable<br />

strike, attack, or reconnaissance aircraft to locate their targets.<br />

a. Surface Picture (SURPIC). The SURPIC message format is used for contact reporting during<br />

shadowing <strong>and</strong> attack support operations.<br />

b. Vector-Assisted Attack (VASTAC). VASTAC procedures enable attack aircraft to be<br />

vectored to the target by the target reporting unit (TRU). The TRU must be capable of holding both the attack<br />

aircraft <strong>and</strong> the designated target on radar.<br />
