I there any work being done to add the AN/AAQ-33 Advanced SNIPER Pod?  Having been in the USAF for more years than I want to count, I know that for most USAF units that use targeting pods the SNIPER is the preferred pod.  F-15E, F-16 and B-1 use the SNIPER over the LITENING.  LITENING is primary for A-10 and B-52.

So it sounds like we could be getting the sniper pod this year! Very excited to see what extra functionality / picture quality this will bring.

Would be fantastic if we could get a little preview from ED on what we could expect from the pod?

Hi OldFlyer

As always, once it is far enough along, there will be a newsletter item and instructional videos from Wags.

As has been mentioned before, what we have now is a weird Frankenpod.  The functionality is more like the LITENING but the symbology and such is actually LANTIRN.  When we get the Sniper, the LITENING will revert to the LANTIRN.  Two weeks (tm)  😉

Yeah, some stuff if green colored but not really finished like GBU-24 Paveway III or HTS pod, I guess they cant get all the documentation for that stuff.

ok so why we ll get more old TGP than newer one ...i mean, i think LANTIRN is older than LITENING

Because Lantirn is what our F-16 was using, we are also getting SNIPER XR which is more modern than Litening as far as I know.
