Fast Inshore Attack Craft are small, lightly armed boats used in massive swarms to harass ships. What term is used to describe these craft?

• A. FAC/FIAC
• B. Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC)
• C. Iranian Ballistic Missile Force
• D. Space Domain Awareness (SDA)

Answer: (B)

The concept tested is coastal swarm tactics by small, fast boats. The term that best fits these craft is Fast Inshore Attack Craft, abbreviated FIAC. These boats are designed for operations close to shore, where their speed and maneuverability allow them to overwhelm larger vessels with swarms. Saying FIAC explicitly names the inshore, littoral nature of the threat and the intended tactic, making it the precise designation for these craft. While some sources may refer to fast attack craft in general (FAC) or use FAC/FIAC together, the specific term describing these inshore swarm-capable boats is FIAC. The other options refer to unrelated domains.
