LGB control page

Hello all
Please would someone explain to me what the functions on the cntrl page mean.
Kind regards -
Hey,
what part that is not in the manual? If it’s not, it’s probably not modeled, though. -
The cat profiles

The cat profiles
Googled “cat profiles”. Found these:
Best guess …… this isn’t what you’re looking for?
-
CAT profiles are for types of bomb fuzes, but we dont really exploit everything there. The page is common to dumb bombs IIRC.
-
Bombs are divided into categories 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, Bombs with time arming fuze(s)
2, Bombs with time arming and proximity sensing activation
3, Bombs with time arming and time activation with desired activation height
4, Bombs with dual time arming/activation with desired activation heightExamples
1, MK-82/impact fuze
2, CBU-87/FMU-140 proximity fuze
3, CBU-58/M907 time fuze
4, Rockeye II/time fuzeAll LGBs will be Category 1 weapons. The settings for AD1 and AD2 are the nose and tail fuze arming times respectively in seconds. The highlight reflects the time which is relevant according to the fuze selection (BMS incorrectly takes the longer of the two times instead of the shorter). There is rarely any reason to deviate from the default N4.0/T6.0, NSTL selection, especially for LGBs.
LADD data would drive the LADD mode guidance which is not functional in BMS.
REL ANG is the angle in degrees that you plan to release in a loft maneuver. The guidance symbols for beginning the maneuver are dependent on the value entered (smaller angle, later prompt). The actual release functions the same regardless of this setting.

……QUOTE]I thought in BMS, the tail fuze setting is irrelevant, so normally I only take care about the nose fuze, but you now say that BMS only takes in account the larger time of both fuzes setting, so you are obliged to set both fuzes, is that true ?
-
There’s a summary fuze time and you’ll see that it represents the larger of the two arming times if both are selected. This also matches the actual arm/dud changeover time.
