MAV INSTRUCTIONS FROM VIDEOS

[purpjj1]

Hi Mates,

Note: This may not be perfect, but I tested it and seems to work well.

I wrote this for those that really need it!

 

I created this from Tyger's 104 Phoenix MAV videos Part 1 and 2.

 

PART1 OCT16 TH

Go to left MFCD

press DSMS, MSL, EO ON,

TGP ON, GUN / PAC ARM ON

press TGP ON DPMS = "NOT TIMED OUT"

press TAD

press MAV on right MFCD = "ALIGN"

press CDU

ready to take off.

 

PART 2 OCT 16 TH

Turn "MASTER ARM ON"

press DSMS, click "TV GUIDED" STATION 3" MAV

press MAV on right MFCD

press MAV on right MFCD (AGAIN)

Change SLEW RATE to "2" or" "3"

Move reticle on HUD to "target indicator "BOX"

Look at right MFCD "show target" = box with (out cross)

Zoom in with "V" key

Slew to "TARGET"

When "IN RANGE" press "LCRTRL" + "UP ARROW" to lock.

Then "launch" missle.

 

******************************************************

MAV mode to get "point" view using "HOME" and "END" keys!

press "TGT"

SELECT "A-G"

Make target area "SOI" (KEY H")

MOVE "DIAMOND" ON HUD OVER TARGET

Zoom in with "V" key

Zoom in further with "HOME / END " KEYS

Press LCTRL + UP (VERY QUICKLY) to get "POINT LOCK"

Now "PRESS AND HOLD" TMS AFT "DOWN CTRL" for 2 seconds to "GROUND STABALIZE" the TARGET.

Go to right MSVD and select "MAV" , Now "PUSH and HOLD " the "V" key

and the Maverick "seeker head" will slew onto where we already have locked the target pod.

Now press the "V" key to make the MFCD "SOI"

Press LCTRL + UP (VERY QUICKLY) to get "POINT LOCK"

Then "launch" missle.

 

I hope this helps someone.....ENJOY!

Yay wrote memorization! Most of those procedure steps are incidental to Maverick employment.

 

Part 1

At least 3 minutes before Maverick use prepare the TGP (TGP On) and MAV (EO Power On, DSMS>MSL or MAV page).

 

Part 2

Select an AGM-65 weapon profile.

Designate target location with any sensor as SPI.

Slave Maverick to SPI.

Master Arm on.

Command track until target locks.

Release weapon when in range.

 

The whole trick to ground stabilize and then quickly lock was a work around for a Beta2 issue where the Mav wouldn't lock straight away from a slaved to SPI state. In Beta3 that limitation no longer applies.

Thanks twobells, I'm glad somebody could use it. Thank Tyger though...it came from his video series.
