CAS?
Posted: 2007-07-20 01:57
so, I have a few ideas for CAS
first idea: JDAM. this would be another commander asset. a squad leader would request an airstrike somewhere and the commander would say yes or no. if he allowed the airstrike, a pilot flying in a plane armed with JDAM bombs would fly towards the target. the target coordinates would appear on the HUD as a RADAR target
second idea: LGB and autopilot: there are two methods for this, active laser designating and passive designating.
in active laser targeting, the pilot would enabe an auto pilot and will point a LASER beam at a target with a FLIR or a LANTIRN targeting pod. the laser would stay on the target. when in range, the pilot will release the bomb and the LGB will seek out the laser beam
in passive laser targeting, a squad leader would use a laser designator and point a laser beam at a target. the point at which the laser is pointed would appear as a target on the HUD much like a JDAM
