WPN Sequences

Question 1

Explain the sequence for a RKT into GUN RMS engagement from the rear seat running level w/TPMR

Answer 1

• TPMR key points: Rocket inners vs outers,
• “XX in HDG”
• Stable —> Activated, Lase + range
• Constraints …. “Matched” ..Rockets are accurate .. “Matched” … “Matched” … “Matched”
• “Switching to gun” - GAG-L Switch
• Re-lase + select a TGT from the array
• *Constraints” …. “Matched” … “Short, Matched” … “Long left, Matched” …
• On the break

Question 2

LOBL Limits (Mike + Romeo)

Answer 2

Offset:
Min Range:
Max Range:
Recommended Range
Max Ord:
Cloud:

Question 3

What actions will reset the HF settings?

Answer 3

• ## Moving the symbology into the headset

Question 4

What is said from each seat during a HF missile engagement?

Answer 4

RS: “Rifle, ToF”
FS: “Good Missile L/R”

Both: “Splash”

Question 5

Explain how DMGT in the front seat will impact the HF settings?

Answer 5

If DMGT selected:
- LOAL

If DMGT not selected:
- LOBL

Question 6

Explain the actions from each seat in the event of a HF hang fire:

Answer 6

FS: Stabilise the aircraft, verbalise “Hang fire”, turn away from the target

RS: Weapon safety (Deactivate/SAFE UP), Aircraft safety (ANCA), visually inspect launchers, selective jettison A/R

Question 7

You are AUTO lasing and have launched the missile, just after rifle you have a minor emergency e.g. ENG Failure, how should you react?

Answer 7

FS: Keep the aircraft stable and complete BF as req e.g. get to 75, confirm CAST etc.
RS: Likely continue the lase, complete BF

Question 8

Explain how a rapid engagement should be planned and executed:

Answer 8

Planning:
- Below 3kms range, ToF is approx 12 sec, that’s the min time to launch a missile and change targets, I.e. below 3ks Rapid isn’t possible
- Engage the furthest targets in the array first

Executed
- Don’t change FoV to switch TGTS, it stops the laser
- Subsequent trigger pull around 5sec ToF works well

Question 9

During the weapon checks, what is different for HF?

Answer 9

• Give the RMS your symbology
• Activate during the check to confirm spool up
• Reconfirm laser and missile

E.g. “Single, LOAL LO engagement, right inner, Alpha missile, Alpha code, AUTO lase”

Question 10

How do the flying pilot actions post “Rifle” differ if AUTO vs Remote lase?

Answer 10

AUTO
- Fly cross to box prior to missile launch, once rifle confirmed you can turn towards the TGT direct

AUT
- Re-mask the aircraft or turn away from the TGT

Question 11

For a HF engagement, what information should you get from the JTAC?

Answer 11

• TGT Grid
• TGT Elevation
• Laser TGT line
• Range from JTAC
• Final attack HDGs

Question 12

Explain the sequence for a diving PHMS engagement RKT into GUN from the offset to the pull:

Answer 12

1. Offset early ~3700m, DMGT on
2. Pop early ~3200m, post pop DMGT off
3. Range for RKTs approx 2300m
4. “Stable” before 2500m, BC calls 2500m activate, HDG, range, fire… x3
5. Through 2000m, switch to gun, range to 1500, fire at 1700 short, 1500m on TGT, 1300m long
6. Deactivate, SAFE, Pull

Question 13

Explain the min consids for a running PHMS engagement RKT into GUN from the offset to the pull:

Answer 13

• Don’t switch to gun early
• Can range and start firing rockets from 3000m
• DMGT off
