Q

EMCON level 1

A

The most restrictive condition and is used when a serious electronic warfare support measure (ESM) threat exists. Electronic emissions are prohibited, to include radios, DME and IFF/SIF except modes 4/5 in theater. Radar altimeters are aloud if required by NATOPS for safety of flight. Take-offs and landings will use EMCON procedures. Comms with controlling agencies shall be made by ground observers or air boss via land line to report departure times and numbers. During training evolutions radio comms are permitted for safety of flight items only.

Q

EMCON level 2

A

The majority of tactical missions are flown under this condition. A serious ESM threat exists; take-offs and landings will use min comm procedures. Operate radios at a bare minimum and use brevity codes to reduce transmission time. All other emitters may be used.

Q

Lost Comm Procedures Day

A

Day: Pass hand and arm signals, bad comm aircraft becomes tactical wingman. If hand and arm signals unsuccessful, use flashing bright nav lights and assaults cycle ramp. Good comm aircraft will acknowledge with same signal and return lights to original condition, bad comm becomes tactical wingman.

56
Q

Lost Comm Procedures Night

A

Night/NVG: Flash IR searchlight to indicate bad comm. Once other aircraft acknowledges with same signal, bad comm aircraft becomes tactical wingman and both aircraft return to orig lighting cond. If IR searchlight ineffective, use flashing dim nav lights (threat permitting) and assaults cycle ramp. Good comm aircraft will acknowledge with same signal and all return to briefed lighting cond.

57
Q

Lost Comm Procedures Objective Area

A

Obj Area:
Escorts: Conduct above signals in BP or HA. Bad comm aircraft becomes wingman if comms not regained. For training, bad comm aircraft (wing) will cease firing, remain in position. For actual contingency, bad comm aircraft (wing) will assume weapons hold posture, remain in position.
Assaults: Maintain position per briefed obj area actions, then signal.
Escort/Assault Coordination: Escorts fly back to HA with: LZ winter = searchlight/IR searchlight (day/night) ON & steady, join at 10-12 o’clock and escort to LZ. LZ devil = searchlight/IR searchlight (day/night) ON & flashing.

58
Q
