Joint Effects Targeting Systems (JETS)

Abstract

The Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) is an Army program with joint interest (Air Force and Marine Corps). JETS provides individual dismounted forward observers and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) the means to call for fire and control delivery of air, ground and naval surface fire support using precision munitions and effects (both lethal and non-lethal). The JETS provides the observers and controllers the ability to conduct surveillance, acquire and accurately locate targets, designate targets for attack by laser seeking munitions, mark targets for aviation and ground-based targeting systems, and transmit targeting data to existing Forward Entry Systems for each Service.
