Identification Friend or Foe in a somewhat worse neighborhood than Golden Hills...

[jmm99]

Am I correct in concluding that you want to look at practical application in the field of the rules of engagement (ROE, ROEs) and the concept(s) of positive identification (PID) ?

Google Advanced: "rules of engagement" + "roe" = 200,000 + hits; "positive identification" + "pid" = 18,000 + hits.

My own opinion is summarized in a year-old post, The ROE.

Practical application in the field (which today includes remote drone control centers) will in the end boil down to the actual test(s) used by the individual shooter to decide "shoot; don't shoot" - i.e., what causes one's "shoot" switch to flip, and then to flip back to status quo ante.

If so, I think you (or anyone else) will find it very hard to get personal answers in a public forum - or in a private conversation, for that matter. One issue is security classification; another is self-incrimination.

Good luck, though, in your quest.
