baksie Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Can you fire E-mav's without TGP but with laser marked by ground JTAC? If so how please.

Bunny Clark Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 The Viper can't carry the AGM-65E, that's a Navy version. Are you wondering about the Hornet? If so, make sure the code is right, bring up the Mav page on a DDI, point it in the right direction and hit Uncage to track. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

baksie Posted April 29, 2021 Author Posted April 29, 2021 sorry I meant any maverick in F16. ?Jtac marks target and F16 needs to pick it up. I can do it with GBU12/10 but not with mavericks. what am I missing? I know how it works in FA18.

Frederf Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 There are no laser Mavericks available for the F-16. The F-16 does not have a laser spot tracker except when equipped with a TGP. When equipped with a TGP the following procedure allows converting a JTAC laser mark into a Maverick attack: Default air start configuration AG master mode Right OSB 2 twice 'PRE' TGP right MFD Right OSB 2 'AUTO' Right OSB 3 'NARO' DMS down TGP SOI WPN left MFD Left OSB 3 'FOV' narrow FOV Contact JTAC and command laser on Uncage press for LSS Wait for laser spot track Uncage press to discontinue LSS Slew TGP minimum amount to update SPI position Maneuver until handoff possible TMS forward to command handoff Weapon release button to fire Demo track included F16 A65D from JTAC laser.trk 1

Once the TGP found the laser spot, it automatically exited LSS and updated SPI (I think it went straight to Point Track). Has that changed? "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."
Frederf Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 I guess so. In the above example the word "LSS" is boxed on uncage press, the word "INR" appears at the bottom, and only after uncage is pressed again is "LSS" unboxed and "INR" replaced with "AREA". Pressing TMS right or forward during LSS results in an instant of "AREA" or "POINT" very briefly displayed which is immediately overridden back into INR. Slewing is not possible. TMS aft results in "INR" removed from display and SPI is set back at steer (observed by WPN LOS shift) but otherwise everything is the same. Any TMS right/forward after "INR" removal briefly does AREA/POINT and then back to INR. I also note that LSS is non functional in NAV master mode. The "jiggle" to update TGP SPI is evident in my example mission. This jiggle was needed after exiting LSS in all cases. LSS when active was following laser changes continuously as shown by TGP moving instantly to next laser spot by JTAC as target is destroyed.
