Transforming BDA: Effects-Based Assessment (EBA)

Abstract

Battle damage assessment is a cumbersome process that is not conducive to current operations. At best BDA provides a binary response as to whether a target has been destroyed ignoring the other facets associated with today s effects-based environment. To be useful, any assessment process must provide the combined force air component commander (CFACC) with facts that translate a sortie s consequences into effects that can be traced from the tactical through the operational to the strategic level.
