BSI U Solution Video MACE Form Controlled Attacks 2 – Advanced CAS

Exercise to test the following learning objective:

To be able to use the 9-Line form to carry out advanced coordinated attacks within MACE

1. (00:09) Place a JTAC and several EF platforms on the ground including: - moving vehicles on a route - cultural buildings (from MACE Cultural)
2. (03:24) Add a ground-attack aircraft (e.g. Generic Fighter) - ensure it has a mixture of laser-guided bombs, missiles and a laser designator - place it in an out-of-intent racetrack
3. (03:54) Duplicate the platform and place the duplicate in formation with the first aircraft
4. (04:09) Use the ‘System Settings’ options to select weather attenuation on
5. (04:18) Use ‘Mission Settings’ to set the environment visibility to 5,000m
6. (04:26) Add a human entity about 1km from one of the static targets - Equip them with a laser designator - Allocate a target and check the line of sight to it
7. (05:23) Change the human’s ‘Laser Code’ (PRF) in ‘Platform Properties’ to 1688 - Manually fire the laser at the target and cease - Verify the PRF by looking at the code displayed by the target on the MACE map.
8. (05:39) Start the mission - (Optionally) setup ARMOR in a way that best allows you to observe attacks with trails and labels as you like them
9. (06:02) Set up a 9 Line so that the aircraft does not designate its own weapon - select a laser-guided weapon (e.g. Generic GBU) - ensure the PRF on the air asset matches the PRF for your ground platform (1688) - pick the target from the map but click near to the target that is to be designated by the ground platform by about 50m - check the FAH is within a good laser arc for the lasing ground entity - set release point for 50% max weapon range
10. (06:45) Set a reasonable TTT (using the Estimate TTT function)
11. (07:01) Attack without IP & Clear Hot
12. (07:32) Ensure Weapons Guidance and Target Line are selected in the layer manager Weapons Section
13. (07:55) Immediately after weapon release - manually fire the laser from the human at their targeted entity
14. (08:15) Note when the weapon starts guiding to the target - guidance line and laser designator line terminate at the same point - limited by the environment visibility
15. (08:34) Switch off the laser - Change the environment visibility to greater than 20km
16. (09:04) Repeat the attack using: - a suitable TOT instead of TTT - 25% max weapon range release point
17. (09:57) While the fighter is routing for the attack - select another target for the human to lase - recheck line of sight for the designator
18. (10:47) As the aircraft approaches the release point, fire the laser from the ground entity onto its targeted entity
19. (11:31) Set up a 9-Line with 2 assets for self-designation of laser guided bombs and/or laser guided missiles on a 4 x separate targets (2 per aircraft) with different laser codes (PRFs) on different FAHs and rejoining formation after the attack at a TOT at least +5min into the future – with a 45s spacing between air assets. Set 75% Range Level Delivery
20. (12:45) Attack without IP and Clear Hot
