joojoo Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hey to all, I made some tries in the last couple of days with the TGP and the Mavericks D G versions. While I try the PRE mode coupled with the AUTO function in the TGP, when I try TMS UP in order to lock the target, maverick begins to handoff from S then turns to 1 and back to T again without never turn to C. Of course I try that inside 8 nm. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Make sure that boresight alignment procedure is completed prior to attempting automated handoff. The fact that TGP and missile seeker are not looking in the same direction is an indication of alignment not satisfactory. Also missile can only track at a limited range relative to TGP performance. When in doubt use non-handoff method of tracking missile until it can be determined the ranges which will track. It looks like boresight alignment procedure was not done by these pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joojoo Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 you mean that I have to wait until missile's cool down in boresight mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubamurph Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 For each Mav pylon do the following: Put Mav into PRE on the WPN page Make TGP SOI Put cursor over target on TGP and hit TMS fwd for point track. The target should have good contrast against the background and preferably be a solo target for ease of locking with the Mav. This should slew the Mav seeker towards target BUT it will not align correctly Make WPN page SOI Slew cursor to same target as TGP and hit TMS fwd At this point you should be able to boresight the pylon with the BSGT OSB on the upper left of the WPN MFD. Once complete the Mav(s) on that pylon will align correctly with the TGP You will need to repeat this with the other Mav pylon. If using MAV H's make sure it is not in Area mode to enable the boresight to occur. If possible do this before getting into the target area as it will take a little bit of time to do for both pylons.

masspoint Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The same with you. For D/G,WPN page in area mode and TMS up to lock again,I can launch missle on station 7 to target area,but missle on station 3 can't slave to TGP,I must slew the reticle to target.

kengou Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I was testing this last night and found the second missile has trouble moving to the SPI. First missile has successful handoff no problem and locks and fires. Second missile doesn't move to the location of the TGP and doesn't handoff with TMS up. On the TGP page, if I TMS down then TMS up on the new target, the Maverick will slew itself right over and attempt to lock.

Hi, If you have done proper boresight and TGP is in AUTO hand-off mode, when you fire the first handed-off maverick, the second maverick should be on the same TGP selected target. You should use TMS-right to lock on the second maverick to the same target. Best regards, falconbr Edited December 30, 2020 by falconbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
