JTAC/JFAC to give tgt MARK points ( or an entire FP)?


Recommended Posts

I know you can with the TGT Pod set different mark points ( TMS short right) (A-Z) load those as a different flight plan and get different sequential targets to release mulitiple jdams in succession in one pass. Is there a way where the FAC can do this for you and instead of sending a single marked data point ( red triangle displayed on the TAD) send an entire flight plan with multiple mark points that can easily be loaded up with the CDU? Thanks.

I ask this for deep interdiction type missions so one doesn't spend a fair amount of time loitering around seas of air defenses marking targets, then getting separation on those targets then increasing back in at a reasonable standoff distance to release your bombs. I guess:

 

1: is there such a capability on the a10c ( the avionics are pretty impressive so I'm assuming it exists in the real thing)?

2: is it implemented or will it be implemented in the sim?

 

Thanks again.

As far as I know the JTACs only give one point at a time. Usually this point is marked visually somehow (smoke, laser, IR pointer, etc.), but if the JTAC is getting their info from a Predator or other observer they will give a position in UTM coordinates.

 

But I don't think they would give a whole flight plan or multiple points at once.

 

All that is for the sim; I have no idea what is possible in the real A-10C. Like you said, the avionics are impressive! :)

 

Hope this helps some. :(
