fargo007 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Looking for some rio advice on capturing and tracking short range targets. By short range I mean 0-15nm. Thanks Goose. Have fun.

Spiceman Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hand the radar off to the pilot within 20NM... “you have the radar”, then get your eyes up and out and help in the fight.

AcroGimp Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hand the radar off to the pilot within 20NM... “you have the radar”, then get your eyes up and out and help in the fight.This, so much this ^^^^^. The Tomcat crew is all bout shared resources and shared responsibilities - and those change substantially moving from BVR into close-in and then the merge/WVR.

Tyrant07 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Like others have said. Within 15 mile's I tell the pilot to go PAL and then I start trying to visually acquire targets and look for threats so the pilot can concentrate on pointing the aircraft where it needs to be to lock the threat with the radar. When merged, I have found MRL to be pretty handy. It saves some workload from the pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoga Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Plus: bind the IFF button to your controls and keep an eye out for auto-lockon’s by the pilot (PAL, VSL) - immediately IFF any auto-acquisitions and shout over the intercom if cooperative or not! Also, label the target symbol as fast as possible on the TID to give the pilot additional visual IFF feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
