Q

AGM-88 Description

A

High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (143#) (>40nm range)

38
Q

AGM-65 Description

A

Maverick. Designed for strike against tanks and a variety of tactical targets, including moving vehicles. Maverick seeker is locked onto target prior to release and guides autonomously (except AGM-65E (Laser)) providing standoff ranges of 10nm. (TV or IR Guidance)

39
Q

AGM-84 Description

A

Stand-off Land Attack Missile (SLAM), or SLAM-ER (Expanded Range). Intermediate range (+150nm for ER) missile designed to provide day, night, and adverse weather precision strike capability against land targets and ships in port. The SLAM uses INS with GPS, IR terminal guidance coupled with automated target recognition and man in the loop control.

Low-level, laser guided, maneuverable free-fall weapon. Uses Mk-84 (GBU-24), BLU-109 or BLU-116 AUP (advanced unitary penetrator) bodes. GBU-24 E/B adds GPS/INS guidance to allow adverse weather capability. Can be released from very low or very high altitudes, Can be released below a very low overcast (3,000-4,500’ AGL) if the correct mode switches have been set.

47
Q

AGM-154

A

Joint Stand Off Weapon. A low-observable, all weather 1,000# class family of weapon. It is a modular payload assembly designed to attack armored and light-armored vehicle columns, surface to air targets and personnel. Range 15nm at low alt, >40nm at high altitude.

48
Q

AGM-158A

A

JASSM (Joint Air to Surface Stand-off Missile). A precision cruise missile designed for launch outside the target area defenses to kill hard, medium hardened, soft, and area type targets. Guidance: Imaging, IR Radar.

49
Q

FW Medium/High Alt Tactics

A

Flown above 8,000’ AGL. High altitude bombing has height of release >15,000’ AGL.

50
Q

FW Low/Very Low Alt Tactics

A

Flown below 8,000’ AGL. Low altitude bombing has height of release below 500’ AGL.

51
Q

FW Level Delivery

A

Deliver ordnance with a wings level pass over the target

52
Q

FW Loft Delivery

A

Aircrew proceeds inbound to the target from IP. At a calculated point, the aircrew starts a loft maneuver pull-up. Once released, the weapon continues an upward trajectory while the aircrew executes follow-on tactics or egresses. After it apexes, the weapon follows a ballistic path to impact.

53
Q

FW Pop Up Delivery

A

The aircrew proceeds to the target from the IP at low/very low altitude. As the aircrew nears the target, they pop-up to the desired altitude and execute a level or dive delivery.

54
Q

FW Dive Delivery

A

Used for both free fall and forward firing ordnance. These deliveries typically use dive angles of 5 to 60 degrees.

55
Q

FW Holding Altitudes

A

13,000-20,000’ AGL are usually a good compromise between MANPADS Threat avoidance, sensor acquisition, level-laydown employment alt, and minimizing visual/aural signature.

56
Q

Fixed Wing Holding ROT

A

Section, Day: no less than 1,000’ block
Section, Night: no less than 2,000’ block
1,000’ minimum between sections

57
Q

Rotary Wing Holding ROT

A

2km by 2km for a section, 3km by 3km for more than section
