Maverick: TGP handoff vs boresight mode

[pandacat]

I understand you need boresight maverick with TGP in order to do handoffs. Question is: after I use the boresight mode of the missile and now want to switch back to TGP handoff, do I need re-boresight my missiles? My intuition is that the use of boresight mode would de-sync TGP and the missiles.

My readings of the manuals suggest the answer is “no”.

If the boresight procedure has been done correctly (for each launcher, not for each missile) you will not need to do it again, even if you power down the missiles enroute to your target.

Have another look at the TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1 p163-167.

Indeed, Boresight procedure isn’t related to the Boresight mode (The word is same but the context is different).

Yeah, that’s what I got confused on at first.
