About

"Fox Six" is legacy brevity phraseology used to indicate that two "Fox Three" missiles have been launched at a single target. This means two active-RADAR guided air-air missiles are shot at a single air-target. In Western doctrine, such a phrase has been retired for some time, replaced with clearer and more consistent brevity: "Two by Fox Three".

The employment of a "Fox Six" reflects, usually, poor tactical management in the battlespace, as tactical circumstances and flow analysis have not been properly managed by the mission commander or tactical lead to ensure more effective employment of weapons across the duration of an engagement to both treat and resolve risk in spatial and chronological dimensions.

The naming of this project is thus: in training, a "Fox Siix" could often be conveyed as egotistical; it may be overkill (a 'double tap'); or it may be a response to a necessary threat where further options will either be unavailable or put platforms or mission objectives at (high) risk.

Fox Siix is a project of exploration. It endeavours to bind together any number of points adrift in our nebulous world and attempts to create a functional narrative that is elucidating. It may not always be correct, but it is hopefully stimulating of authentic critical thought.

Whether this project is egotistical, overkill, or necessary, is for the reader to decide. The writing is there. You will need to read it to come to your own conclusion.
