HARDKILL (kinetic)
|
Physical attack/ destruction by delivery of munitions/ ordinance to destroy or degrade a target.

|
|
Measures of Performance (MOP)
|
Criteria for measuring task performance or accomplishment.
MOPs are generally quantitative, but also can apply qualitative attributes to task accomplishment. |
