Armed Recce mode?

[ST0RM]

So reading through Chuck's Guide on the Viggen on M71HD CCIP delivery, it appears to me that everything revolves around the WP being entered as a target.

 

What if you're just tooling about, and come across a target of opportunity? Are there steps to do a manual CCIP delivery?

 

Thanks

IIRC in CCIP mode, whenever you unsafe the trigger you'll get the symbology and can drop.

I'm not sure, but the symbology may draw upon QFE like almost any other system on the Viggen. That could create problems when attacking targets at an unexpected elevation.

 

Targets of opportunity in general aren't really the Viggen's strong suit, though.

IIRC a Viggen-pilot once mentioned that they used CCIP-mode (I think he means the high-drag bombs) when flying “search and destroy”-missions (his term, not sure it is the official one). This mode isn’t super-dependent on correct QFE esp if using a longer release-interval. The DYK (dive) mode with low-drag bombs isn’t super dependent on correct QFE either.

Thanks for the replies. So I'm taking it that by messing with QFE, I can get the CCIP display to come up on a non specific target mission.

 

This question came about with running the Cold Start NTTR mission. At WP3, you have the mock airfield with the MiGs lined up. I've been trying to bomb them, but when following the procedure, the CCIP reticule never appears. So I'll adjust QFE more and see.

If the QFE for the area you're dropping in is radically different than where it's set for I can see issues with the symbology appearing. Beyond that if you are in parameters for dropping it should appear.
