LastRifleRound Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 If I have a JDAMS programmed to hit one set of coordinates and another JDAMS set to a different set of coordintes, is it possible to select both weapons for simultaneous release and receive a launch zone and TMR that takes both targets into account? Does having different coordinates in the same mission do this by default, even when rippling?

With multiple targets they’ll be a smaller overlapping area that indicates the zone for all targets. Think a Venn diagram..... Not sure if you need to have QTY selected to see all zones/MSN’s?
LastRifleRound Posted November 27, 2019 Author Posted November 27, 2019 Wouldn't that need to be the behavior now? The launch zones are still dynamic in that you can't change the impact heading or angle, but you still need to be within the glide range of the weapon.
Tholozor Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Just STEP through all the selected stations for release and find the one with the greatest TMR, once that one is in range, all the others should be too.

LastRifleRound Posted November 27, 2019 Author Posted November 27, 2019 Right I know the workarounds, but if multiple stations are selected the real aircraft gives guidance for all targts. Can we actually confirm that isn't happening here?

Can we actually confirm that isn't happening here? Probably not yet, but I haven’t done testing with wildly separated targets where it make a difference. As I say the finished JDAM implementation should show individual launch zone on the HSI for each target that take into account its position and any terminal parameters, eg. Impact azimuth, angle and velocity into account. Once these terminal parameters are taken into account, even two targets in close proximity could in theory have very different launch zones.
