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.

Q

MATCH SPARKLE

A

Overlay the requested target designator type (e.g., MATCH SPARKLE, MATCH LASER).
This is a directive term for a second party to overlay an IR mark on an existing mark.

CHACK CAPTURE
The target appears to be no longer tracked by the sensor.
26
CHECK FOCUS
The sensor image appears to be out of focus.
27
DECLUTTER
An authoritative request for the pilot or operator to remove targeting symbology to allow the user to see a better picture of the target area.
28
HANDSHAKE
A VDL is established. Opposite of HOLLOW.
29
HOLLOW
1. Any data link message not received. | 2. A lost VDL
30
SET
1. Set (or have set) a particular speed. May be indicated in knots or Mach. 2. No longer slewing sensor and awaiting further updates. 3. Overwatch aircraft is in position.
31
SHADOW
Follow the indicated target.
32
SLEW
Move the sensor in the direction indicated (usually accompanied with unit of measure).
33
STAKE
A full-motion video system mark has been set and is used as a frame of reference.
34
SWITCH CAMERA
Switch full-motion video to electro-optical (EO) or IR.
35
SWITCH POLARITY
Switch IR polarity to black or white hot.
36
ZOOM (IN/OUT)
The "ZOOM" command is to be given with a 1, 2, 3, or 4 attached to it. #'s indicates the number of field of view.
37
DATA (object, position)
Standby for data-link message concerning an object at a stated location.
38
HOOK
A data-link directive call cue to sensors to a described point.
39
POINT
A data-link sensor point / track of interest, such as the J12.6 SID 10 data-link message.
40
OSR / AOS
On-station report / aircraft on-station. A variable message format (VMF) message set.
41
SPI
The location (horizontal coordinate and elevation) at which a system calculates its sensor is pointed.
42
TIMBER
The Link 16 network.
43
TIMBER SOUR
Potential problems with net entry; initiates permission link troubleshooting.
44
TRACK NUMBER
Data-link information file number. Commonly called "track" or written as TN.
45
ZAP
Request for data link information, for example "ZAP data" or "ZAP point."
46
CALL READY FOR DATA
The aircrew or JTAC checks setup and makes sure the station is ready to receive a data burst.
47
CROSS-CHECK
Confirmation via sensor point of interest (SPI) on correct hostile location.
48
DATA IN 5
Data transmission will be sent in 5 seconds.
49
DIGITAL TRP
Digital target reference point. Used to direct aircraft sensors to a location, via Link 16 or situation awareness data link (SADL), using J3.5 land/point tracks to mark a target or location.
50
DROP
Directs removing a track from Link 16/SADL network. This does not require users to remove tracks from internal networks or displays; the track originator normally accomplishes the task.
51
INITIATE
The act of broadcasting (enabling) a track onto the Link 16/SADL network.
52
PUBLISH
The directive term to broadcast a track onto the Link 16/SADL network from the tactical network.
53
READ BACK
Aircrew is required the read back mandatory calling in 9-line close air support brief.
54
READ BACK CORRECT
Aircrew has done a correct read back.
55
READY FOR DATA
The aircrew or JTAC is ready to receive data (e.g., 9-line, check in brief, mark point, free text, or message).
56
RECIEVED
Data was received successfully.
57
UPDATE
This is a term to direct updating a previously initiated Link 16 track. The track number should be referenced.
58
CAPTURED
Specified surface target or objects been acquired and is being tracked with an onboard sensor.
59
TRACK
This is a directive call assigning responsibility to maintain sensors / visual awareness on a defined object or area.
60
