In LASER designation operations, what does Bomb on Coordinate (BOC) require?

• A. Specified coordinates; aircraft never required to tally, contact, or capture the mark
• B. TALLY/CONTACT the mark
• C. The observer must designate the target
• D. The laser must be within 100 meters

Answer: (A)

Bomb on Coordinate uses a target defined by precise coordinates rather than a laser-marked point. The observer provides specific coordinates, and the aircraft delivers the weapon to that point without needing to tally, contact, or capture a laser designation mark. This method is used when maintaining a laser spot isn’t feasible or when the attack must be based on a known coordinate rather than a visible target. The requirement that the laser be within a certain distance isn’t part of BOC; the emphasis is on accurate coordinates and the ballistic solution to hit the intended point.
