Can't get AG65D confirmed
-
I follow Training in TE14.
AG,
Master ARM Sim,
SMS-On,
TGP Naro,
Wpn-AG65D timed out,
Uncage,
TGP, IR Point,
Handoff in Progress Station 3,
SOI Wpn, Slew to Target
OSB-20 Click Boresight
Missle step to Station 7, still on Wpn
Slew to Target
OSB-2 Click Boresight
MRM
F-Ack
AG
TGP TMS UP
SOI Wpn
Station 3 and 7 are not confirmed, shows “S” not “C”What am I missing that I can’t get the missile confirmation?

I assume that in steps SOI Wpn, Slew to Target ,OSB-20 Click Boresight ,you TMS up and lock onto the target before you boresight. Also,after the boresight is complete, you do don need to make the WPN page SOI, so skip that step.
Having that out of the way, the S above the station means that missile is in slave mode. C above the station means that the handoff is complete. Since you see only an S that tells me that you have not initiated a handoff. If the Handoff had be initiated and failed, an “I” would be displayed over the station. If the Handoff was successful, a C would be in its place instead.
Make sure the TGP is point tracking the target. Only point track will initiate the handoff sequence. -
After boresight and attempting to handoff the Maverick, as you’re monitoring the WPN page, is the missile LOS correct? What’s the distance?

Agreed.That might be another yet another variable.

When it shows S you didn’t initiated handoff. Just press TMS UP once again to initiate handoff procedure.
Also you must have video from MAV when initiating handoff so you need TGP on one display and WPN that actually displays video from MAV on another display.
Make sure you are in range, its important because when you are too far missile sensor will be unable to track, but this should generate failed handoff message and display I instead of S so i bet that range is not your problem because you have S and not I. -
I’ve tried to do everything you guys said. Leech, I do TMS up to get IR Point before I boresight the weapon. maciesoft, I do have the MAV video before I go to TGP to TMS Up for the IR Point. Frederf, the missile is within range and the pointing cross is not flashing. I get a confirm on station 7 but not on station 3.
Here’s a picture of the confirm:I’ve tried many times but just can’t get a confirm on station 3. I definitely get a Handoff message for station 3 and I boresight it. Then missile step to station 7 and boresight it. There must be some action that I’m not doing. What? I can’t give up now.
Edit: Found the answer in 34-1-1, p167, step 27. Here’s the result showing station 3 and 7 confirmed:

Thanks Leech, Frederf and maciesoft, I finally got it, and edited post #6.
