What is the role of the operator in 'sensor-shooter integration'?

Sensor-shooter integration relies on the operator to bridge sensing and firing in a timely, coordinated way. The operator ensures data from sensors is transferred quickly, threats are identified promptly, and engagements are carried out in line with the commander's intent and ROE. This involves fusing information, providing actionable situational awareness, and guiding the fire control system to engage targets that leadership has approved. Deploying or fielding new sensor systems is not the operator’s duty; that falls to other roles focused on procurement or tech integration. Making engagement decisions without the commander's intent bypasses the chain of command and risks unsafe or inappropriate actions.
