It's still clear, though. I mean if a person were to sort back through the words and their meanings, and put things together, it would turn out that the long phrase equals the short phrase. The ref-camp-speak is muddy and meaningless -- as is a lot of jargon. What are "wide eyes?" I hate that term. What is "the panoramic view concept?" It's vague and fuzzy. To make "stay with the shooter" truly obscurantist use words with lots of different meanings, and words that are often mis-used. Like "Parameter" and "Myriad" and "multi-tasking". It's also good to use words as the wrong parts of speech, such as "priority your time" and "let's signify this".

In your attempt, I think "duration" and "focus" are very good, but "spherical" is way too specific, as are "projectile" and "launcher."

Let's see....

Focal point on primary offense

Focal point the airborne

shooter goes headline (meaning the shooter gets all the attention)

surely someone out there works in advertising and could come up with something really trendy-sounding. I mean, "Stay with the shooter" is so last week!!
