“vector control “
What the hell is “vector control”?
under air traffic control via AWACs, Tower, ATAC, ASAC, etc. Vector control was the euphemism my ATAC/ASACs in the Navy used to indicate they had direct control on helos, p-3s, and other aircraft when directing them. Likely a term of art vice tech, but intent of the question is who had responsibility for monitoring the airspace. With the exception of transits I dont’ recall seing a fighter or any aircraft not under “vector control” in the Navy.
