JDAM TOO Targeting

Recommended Posts

After several hours of repetitive procedures testing I devised the following mechanics for targeting JDAMs in TOO mode with the TGP and HSI WPDSG.

  • Set up the jet for AG mode and activate TGP.
  • Set up JDAMs normally and set TOO mode
  • Set HSI to target WP.
  • Press HSI WPDSG OSB. TGP display goes to WP
  • SOI to TGP right DDI
  • UNDESIGNATE TGP cursor
  • Quickly SCS right to ground stabilize cursor in SCENE track.
  • Slew SCENE track cursor to target
  • SOI to TGP. UNDESIGNATE.
  • SCS right sets target coordinates to JDAM TOO mode
  • Pickle when IN ZONE.

I realize this in a lot of button pushing, but it is the most efficient procedure I could find. YMMV. IMO being able to refine JDAM target acquisition near a WP is a very useful tool.

  • Solution

Try this:

  • AG mode, FLIR on.
  • JDAM select, arm EFUZ, switch to TOO.
  • WPDSG target waypoint.
  • Assign TDC to FLIR.
  • TDC Depress on FLIR to drive TGT designation.
  • Slew to target.
  • TDC Depress to write coordinates to JDAM.
  • Pickle IN ZONE.

Interesting, because using ATFLIR I find I must UNDESIGNATE cursor then SCS-right to stabilize cursor in SCENE track to enable slewing to target. Then UNDESIGNATE and SCS-right again to set new coordinates in weapon. After WPDSG, TDC DEPRESS does nothing.

Yeah another long standing bug, the ATFLIR gets 'stuck' on the designation and then switching to SCENE will make it drift like crazy

This is correct as is, Tholozor mentions above how to use TOO correctly.

I am not trying to be a butthead and I do not dispute that the targeting mechanics are working correctly, I am just curious why Tholozor's experience seems to be different from mine. When in WPDSG and I UNDESIGNATE, the TGP cursor snowplows; and in order to slew to a target I must SCS-right to ground stabilize (in SCENE track), then UNDESIGNATE and SCS-right again to update the weapon coordinates to new cursor position. Guess I will end this discussion since I have a procedure that works for me. Appreciate everyone's input.

Have you tried to use TDC depress? 

Please include a short track replay example. 

thanks

At the risk of being labeled a dumb-ass I will admit my error with sincere contrition. I decided to double-check everything that could possibly be causing my targeting issues and discovered at last that the HOTAS button I had once assigned to TDC DEPRESS was in fact NOT assigned correctly. Now, I have been flying Hornet since its OB release and have no idea when that gremlin creeped into my controls assignments.

All is well. Appreciate all the assistance and apologize for wasting everyone's time. Habu out.
