Q

SPARKLE

A
  1. Mark / marking a target by infrared (IR) pointer.
  2. The platform is capable to IR point.
    The JTAC marks the target with IR pointer. Can be initiated by a JTAC or aircrew.
    The proper aircrew response is CONTACT SPARKLE or NO JOY.

Q

CONTACT SPARKLE

A

Acknowledges sighting sparkle.
After the SPARKLE call is made, CAS asset should respond with NO JOY or SNAKE. Once the aircrew discerns between friendly and target end of pointer, a CONTACT SPARKLE call may be made.

A

The location (horizontal coordinate and elevation) at which a system calculates its sensor is pointed.

42
Q

TIMBER

A

The Link 16 network.

43
Q

TIMBER SOUR

A

A

Data-link information file number. Commonly called “track” or written as TN.

45
Q

ZAP

A

Request for data link information, for example “ZAP data” or “ZAP point.”

46
Q

CALL READY FOR DATA

A

The aircrew or JTAC checks setup and makes sure the station is ready to receive a data burst.

47
