What causes a miss with inertial and laser guided munitions?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Just a curiousity here. Hypothetical (though often reality) scenario...

 

Target locked in the TGP, weapon systems setup correctly in CCRP mode, not too much wind, drop a GPS guided munition on a stationary target with a smooth and stable approach yet...Bomb misses. This happens maybe 1 in 4 times.

 

Just trying to perfect it and rule out variables which are causing this. For laser guided munitions, does the laser have an altitude limit? I know that youre not meant to fire the laser straight away (I usually lase after 10 or so seconds if dropping from 16k feet.

 

Anyway, am I doing something wrong or is it just a case of "it's not an exact science, sometimes bombs miss"

 

Cheers :)

Here is video tutorial how to designate targets for GPS munition by TGP - generaly you are probably forget to measure exact range to target by laser

For JDAM's - is TGP object a SPI? And are you doing laser ranging? E.G. activating laser prior to making a SPI?

Lase 10 seconds after pickle or did you mean lase 10 seconds before impact. The first one could be bad and cause misses on LGB.

well sry for starting "fight thread" but jdams nead an SPI . :smartass:

 

scenario:

u are i a hurry - 8nm to target - hasty searching for tanks in TGP... Got one (close to wp but NOT on it)! -> stationary target so i take Jdam - chose it ... 4nm out - hurry! - align with PBIL ... 3sec to pickle - PICKLE !

 

You will most likely not hit ur target , cause in the upper scenarion u forgot to set the SPI on ur TGP.

results in flying onto the PBIL which is based on the SPI(most likey still on the WP) and u do not recognize that because the target is next to the WP -> u look at the target BUT u are firing at the SPI !

 

Solution:

ALWAYS make sure that ur SPI is set to the Sensor with which u are "Monitoring the target / delivering the weapon"

There are two types of fighter pilots - those who have, and those who will execute a magnificent break turn towards a bug on the canopy . . . .
