derelor Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I am looking for "real" (USAF) buddy-lasing phraseology / brevity codes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Update: Here's what I found so far. 1. JOINT LASER DESIGNATION PROCEDURES (JLASER) (01.06.1991) http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/jp3_09_1.pdf Esp. p. 30 2.

DUSTY Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) 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 NEGATIVE LASER PULSE SHIFT SPARKLE SPLASH(ED) SPOT STARE TEN SECONDS TERMINATE Edited May 11, 2013 by |DUSTY| 1 F-15E | AH-64 | F/A-18C | F-14B | A-10C | UH-1H | Mi-8MTV2 | Ka-50 | SA342 | Super Carrier | Nevada | Persian Gulf | Syria | Intel Core i7 11700K - 32GB 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 - MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X 12GB - Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD 1TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTY Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 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.

derelor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) 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, ...).
