ouseler Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I am in a training mission in which I have to engage a target with an IR Mav (D) and then with a EO Mav (H). The (D) engagement goes fine. Image is clear and I get a good lock. However, when I switch to the (H) Mav image I can barely see anything. (I, first, acquire the target on the TGP and make it SPI. Then I switch to the MAV screen and slew the seekerhead to the SPI. It worked for the D just fine.) I try to lock up the target or what I think is the target and I get a NO TRACK LAUNCH iHBT message and cannot launch. I know that H's are more touchy than the D's for lock up and I suspect it has to do the image quality. The H Mav relies on the a TV image and if the contrast is not good then it has trouble locking up (that is my rationale for it, anyway). How can I adjust the image quality for the H model on the MAV screen? Will it affect the D image or the TGP when I bring them back up?

The MAV will not track it's target. The other trick would be to switch modes from BIH to WIH and try to get contrast image into the seekers memory. Most Hotels won't pick up outside of 6.5 miles. But can be rifled depending on height, speed, angle of attack, etc at much longer ranges. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
