Waypoint Designate/GPS Guided Weapon Question

[Ryanwtod]

Quick question, I'm sorry if it's dumb or repeated. If I have a JDAM or JSOW selected and it's in TOO mode and I hit waypoint designate, it feeds the waypoint coordinates to the TOO for that station. Is their either a way to slave the TGP to a waypoint without it feeding info to the weapon, or is there a way to remove that info from the TOO mission without taking the TGP off the target?

As long as the station is in TOO mode, it'll update the TOO coordinates to whatever the active/last designation is. So, if you want to use WPDSG to slave the TPOD to a point, it'll update the TOO as well.

What you can do is slave the TPOD, enter ATRK or PTRK mode and then switch the designation to something else, while the TPOD remains at the original point.

Or just exit TOO Mission page on SMS.

Or just exit TOO Mission page on SMS.

TOO gets updated in the background, regardless of whether the mission page is shown or not.

One thing to possibly try would be to set the TOO target and then switch to PP or TOO2, before using WPDSG to slave the TPOD again. That will keep TOO1 to the original spot.

However, if you switch back to TOO1 while you have an AG designation, TOO1 will immediately copy its coordinates.

You cannot have, at the same time, a TOO designation and an AG designation, that are different. TOO always copies the current AG designation.
