Will a sel jett or emer jett bomb be armed?
NO
“LRD LP DES”
approximately 80%
“LRD FAIL DES”
less than a 50-60% power output
Describe ‘back scatter’ as it relates to laser energy
energy is reflected due to suspended matter in the atmosphere (smoke haze clouds)
How do you recognize/avoid back scatter?
SO crosscheck elevation data ( is there a significant change in elevation upon lasing?)
Describe laser ‘spillover’
diameter of the laser spot is larger than the target being illuminated
How do you avoid laser spillover?
- employ as close as possible
- vertical targets, designate below top of target
- designate center of mass
Describe flashlight effect.
cause by low graze angle. lower the angle, bigger the spot
How do you mitigate flashlight effect?
keep a steep graze angle, employ as close as possible
Describe podium effect
movement of aircraft during time of flight prevents weapon seeker from having LOS to laser spot.
