701 Auto lock problem.

[HunterICX]

Hi,

 

 

Trying the 701s they won't lock within 10nm on Auto unless I press the 'lock target' key which isn't how AUTO should work if I'm not mistaken. They should lock themselves as soon they we are in 10nm range after having them slaved onto a target.

slaved does not mean no drift/error,

move TDC a bit around the target, let the seeker have a chance to lock a target.

I tried but still can't get a lock using AUTO.

In slave mode, sensor will only follow az/el commanded (where to look), until pilot manual command input, it's not point stablized.

After you move TDC in slave, since it's not point stablized, you need press S2_Press to ground stable the sensor, then move TDC over target to auto lock target,

or S2_Press when target is centered in the image(if luckly enough).

 

 

Basic rule behind the logic: target designation has to be up to the pilot.

Avionics make it easier, but should not be automatic.

The cross center should be moved onto the target(best to move the cross above the target serval times), auto lock will happen after getting close and the target is getting obvious from the background.

 

If you are trying to lock a target at 10nm, I suggest manual lock, auto lock usually take place no longer than 6-7nm.
