Marking Suspected Targets for Human Confirmation

A suspected target from the air is a request for confirmation, never a conclusion. The wording of the report matters as much as the detection itself.

8 of 10Method note

Overview

  • Report as "object observed at grid reference, requires ground confirmation" — with imagery and time attached.
  • Priority ordering should reflect consequence and accessibility, not detection confidence alone.
  • Avoid categorical language about identity; the aerial sensor rarely has the resolution or the angle to establish it.
  • Close the loop: record what the ground confirmation found, including negative results, to calibrate future reports.
