A10-CII - Guided Bombs

GPS guided bombs use a line from the plane to the ground where the ground is calculated based on the topographical maps.

• This does not take into account any buildings in the path to the target ground

• This does not take into account the location of a target vehicle above the ground

• Hint: Target the wheels or where the ground is under the target you are interested in

1. ARM Targeting pod

   • Left panel next to laser arm

2. Enable Targeting pod

   • Select A - G on Targeting Pod MFD

3. Set Targeting Pod MFD to SOI

   • Coolie Right (Long)

4. Slave Targeting pod to Steer Point

   • Assumes target is around steer point

     1. China Hat Forward (Long)

5. Select desired target

   • Use slew to move around

   • Use zoom [DMS Up/Down (Long)]

   • Select with China Hat Forward (Short)

6. Set SPI to target

   • TMS Up (Long)

7. Use master mode to switch to NAV, CCIP or CCRP

   • Cannot be in "Guns" mode

8. Select Bomb via DMS Left / Right via HUD

Steering point line should show up if you are in CCRP mode.

As long as you are targeted you should see

• Diamond with line indicating what is targeted and direction to target

• Solid steering point line

• CCRP targeting circle and line

1. Line up both lines as best you can

2. Circle with number will drop

   1. Hold weapon release prior to small circle entering CCRP circle

   2. Keep weapon release held until after small circle has left CCRP circle

Normal (GPS) mode will have the bomb go to the ground where the target has been set.  When using this mode it is important to target the wheelbase of the vehicle being targeted as the system will be using GPS to target the unit.

Alternatively,  Point (Laser) mode can be used to track and hold to a target and in this mode you only need to paint the target. 

• Mode: CCRP

• CHG SET:

• AUTO LS: ON

  • Sets the system to automatically deploy the laser based on time to ground impact

• LS TIME: 15

  • Sets Laser to engage 15 seconds prior to impact with target

  • If the bomb engages sooner than that, there is a risk it could use up all its energy prior to reaching the target and miss
