Was does "pullback" mean?

PB is Pre Briefed. Not Pull Back.

Was does "pullback" mean?

 

I’m not 100% sure, but from what I’ve read, it is a subset of SP mode that automatically pulls up the HARM and EW pages and locks onto the nearest emitter when you get locked up by a radar threat that is deemed critical (ie very close to you already). This lets you fire off a HARM in self defense very very quickly after getting locked.

Thanks...Would love that feature.

New Mini update. Sounds like some complex stuff to bring these systems together. Glad to see the Litening pod getting a mention.

 

Hope you're feeling better Matt!

 

Hey everyone!

 

Apologies for the lack of Hornet news of late. I’ve been a bit unwell lately and the team has been focused on more difficult tasks, so progress has been slower.

 

The big items (in no particular order) that we are working on for the Hornet include:

• Cleaning up the JDAM and adding new features to the JDAM
  
• Adding the JSOW (already in internal test)
  
• Add full simulation of GPS and INS alignment and navigation systems
  
• PRECISE waypoint input mode
  
• Correcting HARM guidance
  
• MIDS for LTWS and TWS
  
• Litening II targeting pod
  

 

Regarding PB mode for HARM, we decided to push this back for two reasons: 1- based on client feedback, the targeting pod is much more in demand, and 2- we first want to complete the new waypoint database system that will allow creating of PB points.

 

The next Hornet update is planned for May 8th.

 

Thanks,

Wags

Back to the OP. Where are the mini-updates?

[Chops]

Thanks for today's update Matt. I will be interested in hearing more about the precise waypoint input mode as well as the other new features. Wishing you well, and hoping that you return to good health and full strength soon.

Thanks Wags for the mini update. Lots of things in works then, looking good.

 

Hope you're feeling better.

Can we get this thread renamed? I get excited every time I see it thinking its an actual news update.

I wonder if it is just about us, clients - customers or is there a single client that influenced this...

Who else, besides us players, do you think has a much higher demand on ED implementing the TGP first? :huh:
