Captain Orso Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 With the MAV as SOI, TMS Aft Short (Ground Stabilize) the crosshair, if they have a valid aim-point on the ground, the crosshairs lock to that point. However, as soon as you start to slew the crosshairs, they become unstabilized and follow the movement of the airframe instead of being stabilized to the ground. You can still slew the crosshair, but their movement is relative to the airframe, and not the ground.

AvroLanc Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Yeah this is correct behavior I believe. At least it's how it's worked for the last 10 years.

In Break Lock mode the Maverick seeker basically looks ahead in whatever direction it was last slewed to, irrespective of any particular point on the ground. If you stop manually slewing the Maverick seeker without a target lock, the tracking gates will automatically disappear (to give you a more uncluttered field of view), and the seeker will automatically go into Break Lock until you either start slewing again or boresight the Maverick. Ground Stabilize mode lets you slew the seeker towards a potential target and keep the seeker in that position over the ground before actually locking-on. For instance, if you are targeting a group of armored vehicles, you can slew the Maverick seeker close to the group and ground stabilize it before actually singling out an individual target and locking on to it.
