Fire permit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The military term fire permit is within the fire control for the air defense and air defense of all troops (land) in the form of commands used. The fire permit allows the bombardment of aircraft, provided that they have not been recognized as own aircraft, thus increasing the risk of so-called friendly fire .

With the conditional fire permit , fire may only be opened against aircraft recognized as hostile, and only if this does not endanger any of the aircraft's own aircraft. The conditional fire permit is a permanent fire regulation for the target fire by anti-aircraft troops, which the perfect identification by friend-foe detection systems (IFF) and more intensive training is easier.

In contrast, there is the ban on fire , which prohibits fighting aircraft except for direct self-defense (if they attack one's own troops). Fire prohibition is the basic fire regulation for the air defense of all troops (on land), in order not to alert enemy aircraft to their own positions by opening fire.

As part of the fire regulation, a fire permit or a fire ban are generally ordered together with the level of readiness for air defense (for all troops) or the transmission regulation for radar (for the anti-aircraft troops) . (" Ready to fire for air defense , fire ban ! "; " Broadcast ban for radar, conditional fire permit for air defense! ")

In order to avoid misunderstandings, the terms are only used to regulate the fire of the air defense. Different terms apply to fire fighting by artillery or combat troops.
