AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod
-
Good morning!
It appears that the AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod also requires 8-15 min warm up just like the AN/AAQ-13 Nav Pod that houses the FLIR. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong at start-up? I read in the manual of the FLIR needing the 8-15 min, and I guess it applies to the AN/AAQ-14, too?
Is this another reason the Sniper Pod with its more rapid warm up of 3 min is more favorable if you don’t need FLIR?Thanks in advance! Have a good day.
All my best,

AAQ-13 FLIR warmup is wrong currently, it DOES follow what the actual manuals state about timeframes, but ALL rl vids show much less time required.
About AAQ-14 TGP, we might have some extras on this area in future; (proper times, tests, etc)

Thanks, Raptor!
I didn’t read it anywhere that the Sniper targeting pod and the AAQ-14 targeting pod had the same warm up time, I just made that assumption as the Sniper specifically is stated to need 3 minutes, and I (wrongly) figured the targeting pods were similar in nature with respect to that.
The manual specifically mentions the AAQ-13 FLIR needing the 8-15 minutes, and I should have inferred that the AAQ-14 was tied to that same warmup time. Instead, I assumed the targeting pods were the same. That’ll teach me to assume!
Thanks again for confirming!
All my best,
Rob
