Buddy-lasing phraseology / brevity codes

[derelor]

I am looking for "real" (USAF) buddy-lasing phraseology / brevity codes.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Update: Here's what I found so far.

A good place to start are brevity documents. Not sure if this is the most up to date AF doc but most of the brevity codes are in here: http://amax.dma.free.fr/USDoc/AFTTP%203-1V01%20%20AirForce%20BreviityCode.pdf

There is also a Multiservice (NAVY/MARINES/AF/ARMY) Brevity document which is unclassified and seems to contain a few more words.

 

Here's a quick digest, it should help give you an idea as to how the words are used in communication when it comes to buddy lasing.

 

 

"STARE" (w/reference point)—Directive call to cue the targeting pod and enable the laser spot search (LSS) function in relation to the specified reference point. Reference point may include the following: INS steerpoint, GEOREF, bearing and range, TAD link, or laser mark.

 

"TEN SECONDS" [A/S] Standby for LASER ON call in approximately 10 seconds.

 

"LASER ON"—Directive call to start laser designation.

 

"LASING"—Informative call indicating that the speaker is firing the laser.

 

"SPOT"

1. [A/S] Acquisition of laser designation.

2. Platform is LST capable.

 

"SHIFT" (w/direction)—Directive call to shift laser illumination.

 

"TERMINATE "

1. [A/S] Stop laser illumination of a target.

2. In training, cease local engagement without affecting the overall exercise.

 

 

List of all words used which can be found in the brevity doc:

LASERS

BUDDY

LASE/GUIDE

BUMP/BUMP-UP

CAPTURED

CEASE

CONTACT

DEADEYE

DIAMONDS

LASER ON

LASING

You also mentioned phraeology. I couldn't find any direct aircraft-aircraft buddy lasing comms but here's an extract from the Joint Pub on Close Air Support. This type three engagement has a forward observer provide a laser spot for acquiring a target. Hope it helps.

Thank you, F/A 18F. I updated my first post with all the info I found so far.

 

I still wasn't able to find any examples (complete conversations) of direct aircraft-aircraft buddy lasing communications (text, video, ...).
