Great stuff!

Needs more hands in the animation though

Nice video. But what about using the shared codeword method for the Little Book?

E.g.
A | DPGJABMCTVYU…

Falcon 1 authenticates A BC
Viper 2 responds M

Is that not used (anymore)?

So the idea is to keep some bad guy from calling off your strike on their position, right? This looks static - what stops them from having the same little book and calling the abort code? For this to be effective, wouldn’t you need to create a new book between missions?

In BMS: :rolleyes:

In RL: COMSEC

That’s what the KY-58 unit is for. Or whatever crypto unit newer jets may have.

I’m sure during war time things matrixes encryptions change.

The bad guy would have to know the code word that you select before the mission.
