Updated: 2023-05-07 --- # AIC Perspective This is an overview of the fighter timeline from the perspective of the controller. The primary difference from the fighter perspective is that mechanics of the targeting and employment stages are left to the fighters, the AICs job is to keep the fighters on timeline until all friendly groups have targeted. After friendlies have targeted, the AIC moves to a supporting role until the Anchor Flow Picture call by the fighters indicating the end of the commit. ![[AIC Timeline.png|350]] # Ranges | Range | F-14B | F/A-18C | | ------------------------------------ | ----- | ------- | | Optimal Commit (NLT + 5nm per Group) | 90 NM | 60 NM | | No-Later-Than Commit | 70 NM | 50 NM | | Tac Range | 60 NM | 40 NM | | Meld Range | 55 NM | 35 NM | | Threat Range (Default) | 25 NM | 25 NM |
