IZLID class
class 3b
IZLID wavelength
808-840 nm
How many safeties does the IZLID have
4
what does free mean
fire at targets not identified as friendly in accordance with ROE/SPINS
what does tight mean
fire only at targets specifically designated as hostile in accordance with ROE/SPINS
what does hold mean
fire only in self defense or response to a formal order
METT-TC
mission enemy terrain/wx troops time civilians
general guidelines for CSW
assume area is hostile
use good crm
be predictable to wing, unpredictable to enemy
don’t fly in trail
don’t fly parallel to linear features unless you have to and can go fast
have back up/bingo ammo
know the area
fire at the max distance that gets the job done
lead and wing responsibilies
lead set track
wing set spacing
general idea of theory of k
protect our guys
shoot their guys
heading or clock position
mag hdg on radio
clock position on ics
pattern brief
flight call sign **type of pattern** **side of fire** firing leg heading ingress heading if applicable follow on action
“refine” for course adjustments <
30 degrees
min speed you should use
60kgs
benefits of low altitude pass
harder to shoot back at
lowest altitudes
100’ overland
50’ overwater
things pilot to gunner contract should include
hostile act/intent wrt ROE/PID/CDE
self defense
target talk on
benefits of higher altitude
easier to focus fire
general internal comm flow
HAC: Lock and load gunner: ready safe right anyone start talk on gunner: tally anyone: visual HAC: open fire gunner: aft stop safe - dry - winchester - bent HAC: clear and safe your weapon
lost ics for laser
gun symbol thumb up for laze/fire
thumb down for cease
where should wing be on an l attack
firing side
.1-.7 dme (.3-.4 ideal)
L attack speed
ideally >80kgs
when do you turn away on an L attack
when no longer capable of firing
if doing L attack to racetrack, what approximate heading shift are you looking for
about 60 degrees so that the pattern puts the target on the beam
when to turn on L attack if switching to racetrack
prior to abeam
guidance if egressing straight out of L attack
don’t put them right on the tail
racetrack pattern parameters
.2-.5 dme (ideally .4-.5) set up for 180 degree phase shift use max rate turns 70-80 kias speed no lower than 50', 150' ideal 80 kgs on firing leg
pattern consideration with RHEP
m240 you can only shoot from 1 oclock to abeam
gau only gets just aft of abeam to aft stop
when to turn if you are moving in same direction as target on racetrack
out at aft stop in at abeam
