What does D3A stand for in targeting?

Detect, Decide, Deliver, and Assess (D3A) - Targeting

D3A targets uses a sequence that guides how to approach a target from sensing to results. Start by Detecting potential targets through surveillance and information gathering to understand what you’re dealing with. Then Decide whether the target meets criteria for engagement, taking into account rules of engagement, legality, risk, and desired effects. Next, Deliver the chosen effect to the target, executing the engagement. Finally, Assess the outcome to see whether the objective was achieved and what the actual effects were, using that feedback to inform future actions.

The order matters: you can’t Decide without Detecting information, you can’t Deliver without a decision, and you can’t Accurately Assess without seeing the actual effects of the delivery. This loop helps ensure engagements are appropriate, timely, and learn from each action.
