The Fires warfighting function comprises the set of systems and tasks necessary to deploy lethal and non-lethal actions on a given target with the purpose of disrupting enemy capabilities and enabling friendly mission command and control. Targeting - or the process of identifying, selecting, and prioritizing the appropriate response to an enemy target - ensures the precise impact of fires-related actions by integrating intelligence to engage targets at the right time and place with the correct personnel and materiel.
Modeled as a distinct domain within the Defense Ontology, ontology types within Targeting and Fires represent targets, fire support coordination measures (FSCMs), operational assessments, and their interrelationships. Interface link type constraints define the object-to-object relationship across object types that implement an Intelligence interface.
