Target Navigation Info

[Crowebar-892nas]

Hi, reading the brief for tonight, I don't understand the references, could someone explain the following please

892 NAS ENFIELD will SEAD around bridges at 38T MN 39933 90970 & MN 44183 90206

Thanks

Hi Crowebar, they are references for the A-10 as we work with the MGRS(Military Grid Reference System) for co-ordinates, we can use Lat/Long co-ords but MGRS references are quicker to input into our Nav systems.

Hope this helps

P.S. can the F-18 use MGRS?

[Crowebar-892nas]

ok, thanks Paul

We can enter MGRS onto our nav system, but I suspect we will have the waypoints pre-programmed. We will be flying a SEAD role tonight in support of 3 Squadron. Secondary role will be to provide top cover once all the SAM threats are eliminated.

See you on deck.

That's correct, I'm hoping all points will be loaded in. Honestly you can't miss!

I could miss Andrew.
