10. Receive Strike Tasking • Electronic Tasking Received (continue) • System creates a CRD file and stores the OTW in the TED. The TED provides updates to the higher command • Operator requests launching missile • System issues commands to launch missile • Missile is launched • System loads the data into the TED. TED provides updates to the higher command • Inventory is updated in the TED. TED provides updates to the higher command • Operator updates missiles after launch. • Operator enters information of missile failure to transition to cruise. • Operator monitors the missile in flight request data from the TED.

11. Receive Strike Tasking • Electronic Tasking Received (continue) • An updated strike folder is received to redirect a missile. • System processes the request and issues the IMMM to the missile • Missile responds the IMMM and persecutes the new target. • On completion of all tasking the Operator removes the strike folder from the system using the ATDC. • On indication of removal of the strike folder from system the system removes tasking from windows.

12. Receive Strike Tasking • LPMP • Objective arrives as either electronic tasking or manually tasking, the system request an mission planning task to begin. The task is completed and stored into the TED. • All other actions are the same as electronic or manual tasking.
