Thanx guys, very interresting how this is handled. Dropping a bomb into nothing but coordinates with surrounding blue forces would scare the hell out of me. Will have to read more about JTAC. Didn´t hear that before. When a Pilot gets those Infos over Radio i assume it is written down first before entered in the DED. I will try that in BMS, taking random coordinates from Recon and then doing a CCRP Blind / night run and see how effective I really was...I always wondered in any movies, from Vietnam to the latest how this coordinate system works, coded or not. The artillery also has be very precise in doing their maths.
Some great books about cas in afghanistan form the raf/BN point of view:Apache and Hellfireor Joint force harriers, i'm currently re reading this one, lots of JTAC actions in there
