AGM-65K...Anyone know how to use them?

[AbortedMan]

I've seen about a dozen tutorials on how to get the AGM-65D and G IR variants working, but I can't seem to figure out the other Maverick variants that don't use IR. I've been trying to get the K to fire at a locked target, but can't get it off the rails. Is this a training missile just for looks like the TGM variants?

Thanks for the reply, but that's the IR Maverick again.

Should be basically the same employment as a IRmav, just make sure you select EO/TV MAV with SSS up

I wish that were the case.

It´s a TV sensor. If the target contrast is not high enough, it will not lock.

 

I have employed them sucessfully from the AV8B so they definately work, the issue is on your end.

If you followed the typical maverick procedure and it still doesn´t work for you, I can´t help.

I wonder if the AGM-65K IRL with it´s EO seeker needs to bo cooled down like the IR version as it is now. I would assume that they would be ready to use almost instantly.

Just an interesting find. Looks like for IR version it would not be easy to operate.

 

There's a 3-minute cool down time. But there's also an 1-hour time limit for RDY & video off, and 30-minute limit for RDY & video on. (Which is probably implemented.)

 

And after the missiles are RDY, you have to do boresight alignment procedure one by one for all of them. Would cause hand-off failure if you didn't do it. (Not implemented.)

 

When shooting the mavericks, there's a keyhole constraint. When shot outside the keyhole, there's a chance to miss the target. (Edit: Implemented in DCS A10C.)

I think there's still a 3-minute gyro spin up time for EO mavs?

Actually the A-10C has had that for a while now.

 

And yes the CCD mavs still need 3 minutes to become usable.

Oh thanks. I didn't check that for a long time.

Ah -Ok, did not take the Gyro's into consideration - makes sense !
