EFFECTIVE RANGE OF AGM-65 MAVERICK
-
in a real world scenario, like any current threat environment, you’re dealing with enemies in at the most light technical improv armored vehicles. mavericks were designed to kill tanks and light hardened structures. Most of the time, the hogs in the schedule only carry one rack asymmetrically, and I have not seen many f-16s in our theatres slung loaded with mavericks. it’s mostly just sdbs and stand off weaponry. The f-16s you do see slung heavy with the maverick family are commonly photographed in the taiwanese straight and South Korea, where those scenarios are still very much alive in which a flight of f-16s might engage or react to a convoy of mechanized armor.

HAF standard F-16 loadout is 2 AGM-65’s.

Important to remember (especially in the BMS world for beginners) that boresighting is not explicitly necessary, as you can employ the MAV without the TGP if you choose to do so.
-
Boresighting is only valid for latest IR-seeker missiles (D/G) and not older TV (A/B).
-
Boresighting is only valid if the plane carries a TGP pod, to align with the handoff mode. If no TGP is loaded = the missile can be employed autonomous e.g. VIS.
-
D/G missiles are expensive and mostly will not be used against convoys or trucks, specially the G model which is intended versus hard targets, shelters, ships etc.

The missile can be employed even if you do not boresight with the TGP.
The missile can be employed even if the handoff fails.
The missile is always " hot".
Boresighting with the TGP in generally done in VIS mode.
You can handoff in VIS mode.
The missile can be employed even with a EGI/INS fail, using BORE mode.Generally you want the missile seeker to pair with the TD box. ( ranging is more accurate as the MLE is showing slant range from the TD box and not the missiles seeker. Slew inputs are also minimized.)
The question is not if the missile can be employed with or without boresight, which it clearly can , but if the pilots boresight the missile on every sortie.

The question is the effective range of the missile I believe.

Dear Leech i don t recive answered YET between real life and BMS about the effective range of MAVERICKS ( function of cinetic energy) sory……!!!

The question is if the pilots boresight the missile on every sortie.
If they intent to deploy through handoff mode, yes on every MMC cycle.
EDIT/ADD: When airborne the missile can be boresight to align seeker with the A2G FCR TD box (on a fixed target), since practically FCR SPI is aligned with TGP.

Thank you very much for the diagrams but I have it too !! I ask again and again for the last time. They have been applied to BMS FALCON as the same real world time yes or no?
-
And I will answer for the last time.
The chart you posted is not correct. Do not expect a 12nm range at 12K/ M.05 .In RL,it’s closer to 10 nm.
BMS has a more accurate launch envelope and also has effect of G-Bias on missile flightpath -
If they intent to deploy through handoff mode, yes on every MMC cycle.

The AGM-65 mounting procedure induces an unknown amount of misalignment. This misalignment must be removed to improve accuracy and shorten the time required to achieve a hand-off. Misalignment is corrected by boresighting the missile LOS to the TGP LOS. The AGM-65 boresight procedure may only be performed on the ground if the missiles do not have dome covers and squibs installed. If the dome covers are present, the procedure must be done while airborne.
1. If on ground - GND JETT ENABLE.
2. ICP - Depress A-G button.
3. Left MFD - Select desired format.
(a) FCR format.
(b) TGP format - Select A-G submode.
4. Right MFD - Select SMS format.
(a) Depress OSB adjacent to PWR OFF.
(b) PRE or VIS submode - Select as required.
5. HUD - Confirm VIS/PRE symbology.
6. DMS - Select required sensor as SOI.
(a) HUD as SOI for VIS submode.
(b) FCR as SOI for PRE submode.
TGP as SOI for PRE submode.
7. MASTER ARM switch - MASTER ARM or SIMULATE (as desired).
8. LASER ARM switch - As required.
9. Right MFD - Select WPN format; NOT TIMED OUT displayed.
10. After 3 minutes - NOT TIMED OUT blanked
11. UNCAGE switch - Depress (if desired).
12. Cursor - Slew selected sensor over desired target on MFD.
13. TMS - Up to designate and release to ground-stabilize sensor on target.
14. TMS - Left; select desired contrast option.
15. Pinky switch - Depress; select desired FOV.
16. Cursor - Slew AGM-65 gates over target.
17. TMS - Up and release; confirm target tracking.
18. WPN format - Depress BSGT OSB.
19. TMS - Down to break missile track; verify missile LOS boresighted to sensor LOS
20. MSL STEP button - Depress.
21. Repeat steps 3 thru 20 to boresight other stations.Bottom line : If you want the AGM-65 seeker to point at the TD box, then boresight.
