ED Team Raptor9 Posted May 19, 2023 ED Team Posted May 19, 2023 It is not possible to fire the AGM-114L onto points (Waypoints, Control Measures, Targets, etc) stored within the aircraft database. The AGM-114L needs targeting data from a sight (TADS or FCR). Points can be set as acquisition sources which can cue or slave a sight to a location, but the sight (TADS or FCR) still needs to generate its own target data for the AGM-114L to use. 1 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

So it's more that the two systems aren't linked and can't directly transfer data, only through the pilot/CPG using a point as acquisition? So targets saved into the FCR database of 16(?) targets (data targets also use FCR memory) and TSD points are saved in a separate 256 point system. Think I'm getting it...

I can't speak with authority on THIS system, but the US Army tends to Very Much Dislike the possibility of hitting the Wrong Target with PGMs. "throw the missile at a grid and pray the radar picks the correct target" is NOT an attack profile which would ever be approved under anything short of World War Three RoE. 1

If there is a civvie inside a 10 meter by 10 meter square, I don't think anyone should be firing ANYTHING in that grid lol. I mean, 10 meters is just five people laid head to toe, it's not a large area.

Because "there might be a civilian beside the tank" is definitely the only reason the army would be concerned about missing the intended target with their PGM.Not, you know, the fact that if they miss the tank, they have to fire another missile and wait for it to arrive, during which time the tank might be killing US troops. That's definitely not a concern.Sent from my Pixel 5a using Tapatalk
