Exemples de communications Laser

Exemple 1L’avion “Pig2” engage une cible, enregistrée SPI sur son système d’arme, avec une GBU­12. “Pig2” est sensé collationner à son leader “Pig 1” :

A/C: “Pig 2, tally target” A/C: “Pig 2, in 180” A/C: “Pig 2, engage with GBU­12” A/C: “Pig 2, attacking” A/C: “Pig 2, lasing” A/C: “Pig 2, bomb away 30 seconds” A/C: “Pig 2, splash” A/C: “Pig 2, terminated, off 270”

Exemple 2L’avion Pig 2 doit engager une cible à l’est avec deux Mk­82 espacées. L’avion Pig 2 demandel’éclairage laser à un tiers (avion “Pig 1”) pour connaître le point d’impact exacte ::

A/C: “Pig 2, tally target” ... A/C: “Pig 2, buddy lase” ... A/C: “Pig 1, lasing” ... A/C: “Pig 2, spot” ... A/C: “Pig 2, captured” A/C: “Pig 1, cease laser” ... A/C: “Pig 2, in 090” ...

Exemple 3L’avion “Pig 2” CAS traite une cible depuis une altitude haute à l’aide d’une bombe guidée laser.L’avion connait la position de la cible et l’éclairage laser ainsi que la conduite de tir sont effectuéspar un JTAC (DCS­CA) :

(1) A/C: “Pig 2, inbound.” JTAC: “Continue.” ... (3) A/C: “Pig 2, IN heading 180.” JTAC: “Pig 2, cleared hot.” ... (5) A/C: “Pig 2, one away 30 seconds.” ... (6) A/C: “Pig 2, 10 seconds, laser on.” (9) JTAC: “Lasing.” ... (10) JTAC: “Splashed. Terminate” ... (11) A/C: “Pig 2, Off 280”

Exemple 1Deux avions CAS “Pig 1” et “Pig 2”, venant de l’est et équipés de JVN, traitent une zone hostile denuit. “Pig 2 “ ne voit pas la zone :

A/C: “Pig 1, visual trucks 9 hours” ... A/C: “Pig 2, no joy, Sparkle” A/C: “Pig 1, burn” ... A/C: “Pig 2, rope” A/C: “Pig 1, wilco” ... A/C: “Pig 2, visual” A/C: “Pig 1, stop.
