[REPORTED] CAS page UTM inaccurate

[Tyrant07]

When entering UTM coordinates into the CAS page the system seems to convert the UTM into LAT LONG upon hitting the enter key on the UFC. The entered UTM coordinates in the scratch pad visually change to something different as Line 6 is populated on the MFCD.

 

This inaccuracy makes the created Target points inaccurate for GPS weapons and also for target acquisition in general.

 

Additionally. When creating a waypoint via the EHSD using UTM. The system does not allow the user to edit the elevation for the waypoint that you have created and the elevation it chooses does not match that on the F10 map. Update. Seems the elevation the system is choosing might be meters and not feet, which is causing this error.

 

This can be replicated on all maps by creating a target point via the CAS page or the EHSD.

 

Steps taken on CAS page.

1) Selecting the EHSD created waypoint that is in the same UTM grid square as the target as the IP on line 1

2) cycle down to line 6 for target location entry and hitting clear on the UFC and then entering in the 10 digit MGRS/UTM coordinate from the TPOD/F10 map/JTAC/FACA and hitting enter on the UFC

3) the entered coordinate on the UFC scratch pad changes as the LAT LONG on Line 6 populates

4) Hit save and use on the CAS page and designate it as a useable Target point

5) Slave TGP to that target point and see if it actually on said target

Doesn’t the INS do this when entering lat/long info? I always thought it something to do with rounding.

Still an issue

Reported. However we already have the issue where LAT/ LONG will be rounded automatically as well, so this may be an ED issue.
