Summary

TLDRO vídeo aborda a importância da comunicação eficaz durante missões de combate aéreo, especialmente ao usar simulações como DCS. Discutindo o problema de disparos de mísseis sem alvos claros, a apresentação enfatiza a importância da clareza nas comunicações, principalmente através do uso de códigos de brevidade, que ajudam a melhorar a consciência situacional de todas as unidades envolvidas. O conceito de "targeted" (alvo designado) e "sorting" (classificação) é explicado para atribuir responsabilidades antes do lançamento de mísseis. Também são fornecidos exemplos de chamadas de rádio para melhorar a identificação de alvos e coordenação. A prática consistente de comunicações de brevidade é recomendada para evitar erros durante operações em grupo.

Takeaways

  • ✈️ A clareza na comunicação é crucial em combates aéreos.
  • 🎯 A chamada 'fox 3' notifica um míssil ativo no ar.
  • 🔍 Atribuir alvos específicos melhora a coordenação.
  • 📡 Referências 'bullseye' são úteis para localização precisa.
  • 🗣️ Mensagens de rádio devem ser detalhadas para evitar ambiguidade.
  • 🚀 Tecnologia como 'link 16' facilita o compartilhamento de dados.
  • 🎮 Simulações como DCS beneficiam-se de boas práticas de comunicação.
  • ⚠️ Práticas inadequadas podem levar a acidentes em missões.
  • 🔄 O processo 'sorting' é vital para gerenciar múltiplos alvos.
  • 👨‍✈️ Praticar brevidade em comunicações é essencial para eficácia.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:09:01

    O vídeo descreve uma situação em que um piloto em missão ouve um lançamento de míssil não identificado pelo rádio, destacando a importância da comunicação eficaz para resolver situações de incerteza durante operações de combate aéreo. Explica-se o uso do código "fox 3" e a necessidade de informar claramente quem lançou o míssil e qual é o alvo para melhorar a consciência situacional. Recomenda-se começar a comunicação eficaz antes do lançamento do míssil com o código de brevidade "targeted". Este código avisa que um grupo foi adquirido e atribui responsabilidade ao piloto, permitindo que a equipe reaja adequadamente, economizando combustível e prevenindo erros de identificação de alvos. O vídeo também aborda maneiras de chamar e ordenar encontros inesperados, além de descrever como integrar a comunicação de disparo com informações adicionais para evitar ambiguidades. Conclui destacando a importância de praticar boas práticas de brevidade, mesmo em jogos ou situações com poucos participantes.

  • 00:00:00
    imagine you're a fighter pilot flying a
  • 00:00:02
    mission over enemy territory when you
  • 00:00:04
    hear a voice on the radio announce a
  • 00:00:06
    missile launch there's no target
  • 00:00:08
    identified and the shooter doesn't even
  • 00:00:10
    announce who they are or where the
  • 00:00:12
    missile is going all you know is there's
  • 00:00:14
    a missile in the air and it's going
  • 00:00:16
    after someone possibly even you that's a
  • 00:00:19
    pretty frightening scenario
  • 00:00:21
    unfortunately I've seen this happen a
  • 00:00:23
    lot in Sims like
  • 00:00:25
    DCS but the good news is that there's a
  • 00:00:27
    way to prevent this problem using good
  • 00:00:29
    communication
  • 00:00:30
    so how do you make your bvr
  • 00:00:32
    Communications more useful keep watching
  • 00:00:34
    to get that
  • 00:00:38
    answer to better understand what's going
  • 00:00:40
    on we need to look at the root of the
  • 00:00:42
    problem when we hear fox 3 on the radio
  • 00:00:45
    we know that a missile with Active Radar
  • 00:00:46
    homing was fired from somewhere we
  • 00:00:49
    covered this brevity code briefly in an
  • 00:00:51
    earlier video but just letting everyone
  • 00:00:54
    on the radio know this one detail only
  • 00:00:56
    reveals the Homing type not who fired it
  • 00:00:59
    or who it's being fired at so it could
  • 00:01:02
    be here or here or even here no one
  • 00:01:06
    knows if they may be The Accidental
  • 00:01:07
    Target of this shot or if an enemy group
  • 00:01:10
    is being handled for them both of these
  • 00:01:12
    things are important to know because it
  • 00:01:14
    affects their odds of surviving the
  • 00:01:16
    mission effective communication enhances
  • 00:01:19
    everyone's situational and
  • 00:01:20
    awareness so we want to say things on
  • 00:01:23
    the radio that improve everyone's
  • 00:01:24
    understanding of what's going on we
  • 00:01:27
    never want to say something that leads
  • 00:01:28
    to more questions than answers like an
  • 00:01:31
    ambiguous Fox call in bvr the process of
  • 00:01:34
    good communication starts before a
  • 00:01:36
    missile is launched it begins with the
  • 00:01:38
    brevity code of
  • 00:01:44
    targeted the targeted brevity code is a
  • 00:01:46
    simple way of letting everyone know that
  • 00:01:48
    a fighter has acquired a signed group
  • 00:01:51
    and has assumed responsibility for it
  • 00:01:54
    and in its simplest form it sounds like
  • 00:01:56
    this eal to targeted West group
  • 00:02:00
    this works if everyone has a shared
  • 00:02:02
    battles space picture like what you get
  • 00:02:03
    with the data link and if you don't have
  • 00:02:06
    a data link then you could add on a
  • 00:02:08
    bullseye reference like this Eagle 2
  • 00:02:11
    targeted West group Bullseye
  • 00:02:15
    27015 we covered Bullseye references in
  • 00:02:18
    this video so if you haven't seen it
  • 00:02:19
    already go check it out if we do things
  • 00:02:22
    this way then everyone knows immediately
  • 00:02:24
    who is being
  • 00:02:25
    targeted it's important to communicate
  • 00:02:28
    this detail because it's likely that a
  • 00:02:29
    VR missile shot is coming soon and this
  • 00:02:32
    gives everyone involved a chance to
  • 00:02:33
    react so let's say that this group needs
  • 00:02:36
    to be targeted and there are two DCA
  • 00:02:38
    caps
  • 00:02:39
    nearby you wouldn't want both flights
  • 00:02:41
    leaving their cap stations and burning
  • 00:02:43
    limited fuel to do the same intercept so
  • 00:02:46
    communicating Target responsibility
  • 00:02:48
    ensures that only one flight leaves
  • 00:02:49
    their station let's take a look at
  • 00:02:52
    another scenario here we see a friendly
  • 00:02:54
    strike package is returning to this area
  • 00:02:57
    and it gets mistakenly identified as an
  • 00:02:59
    enemy
  • 00:03:00
    identification and why a mistaken ID can
  • 00:03:03
    happen are covered in this video in our
  • 00:03:05
    scenario a targeted call on the radio
  • 00:03:07
    lets them know immediately that
  • 00:03:08
    interceptors are coming for them now
  • 00:03:11
    they have a chance to identify
  • 00:03:13
    themselves to the interceptors before a
  • 00:03:14
    shot is taken with a targeted call we
  • 00:03:17
    assign responsibility for a group but
  • 00:03:20
    what about individual contacts within a
  • 00:03:22
    group that's called sorting let's go
  • 00:03:24
    over how that works
  • 00:03:30
    some Jets have the ability to
  • 00:03:32
    automatically sort targets and displayed
  • 00:03:33
    on a screen with lock lines like this
  • 00:03:37
    but even if this feature isn't available
  • 00:03:39
    it can and should be done manually as
  • 00:03:41
    part of a mission
  • 00:03:42
    Plan before a fighter flight even takes
  • 00:03:45
    off they'll brief a plan for sorting
  • 00:03:46
    contacts within a group this will be an
  • 00:03:49
    agreement among flight members on who
  • 00:03:51
    should take each of the contacts in a
  • 00:03:52
    potential Target
  • 00:03:54
    group it can be as simple as a pneumonic
  • 00:03:57
    like lead takes lead left low
  • 00:04:00
    this would mean that in the event of a
  • 00:04:02
    hostile group being in lead Trail
  • 00:04:04
    formation like this then the friendly
  • 00:04:06
    group's lead would focus on the Hostile
  • 00:04:08
    group's
  • 00:04:09
    lead then friendly flight members would
  • 00:04:11
    just take additional contacts in order
  • 00:04:14
    so number two would take the second and
  • 00:04:16
    so
  • 00:04:16
    forth now let's say the targeted group
  • 00:04:19
    is in a formation like this with two
  • 00:04:20
    contacts at the
  • 00:04:22
    front since our neonic is lead left low
  • 00:04:25
    we would take the second criteria which
  • 00:04:27
    is
  • 00:04:28
    left so the friendly lead would take the
  • 00:04:30
    contact on the left and two would take
  • 00:04:32
    this one on the right then three would
  • 00:04:34
    take this one and so forth sorting can
  • 00:04:38
    be done any way the flight lead sees fit
  • 00:04:41
    and as long as it's worked out in the
  • 00:04:42
    briefing it's easy to take care of in
  • 00:04:44
    flight once a flight is targeted a group
  • 00:04:47
    then each wingman can make a quick radio
  • 00:04:49
    call to indicate they've sorted and then
  • 00:04:51
    they're
  • 00:04:52
    done but this isn't the only way to do
  • 00:04:55
    it if a flight encounters a situation
  • 00:04:58
    they didn't plan for the light lead can
  • 00:05:00
    call out sorting assignments like this
  • 00:05:03
    Eagle 2 sort right Eagle 3 and four sort
  • 00:05:07
    Trail now the flight is sorted and ready
  • 00:05:09
    to take their shots now let's go over
  • 00:05:12
    how to do shot calls the right
  • 00:05:18
    way here's the definition of the fox
  • 00:05:21
    brevity code as we mentioned earlier
  • 00:05:24
    it's not particularly useful without
  • 00:05:26
    additional information like the identity
  • 00:05:27
    of the shooter and who the weapon is
  • 00:05:29
    direct Ed at so something like this
  • 00:05:33
    Eagle 2 Fox 3 West
  • 00:05:36
    group but you don't need to end there if
  • 00:05:38
    you really want ensure there's no
  • 00:05:40
    ambiguity you can add amplifying
  • 00:05:42
    information like
  • 00:05:43
    this Raptor 1 Fox 3 lead group Bullseye
  • 00:05:48
    12527 29,000 track North
  • 00:05:52
    hostile not only do we have a group
  • 00:05:54
    label but we have a bullseye reference
  • 00:05:57
    altitude track Direction and a p
  • 00:06:00
    ID there should be no mistaking who is
  • 00:06:03
    being shot at here shot communication
  • 00:06:06
    can also be combined with targeting and
  • 00:06:07
    sorting so it could look like this Rambo
  • 00:06:11
    2 targeted fox 3 sorted Eastern West
  • 00:06:15
    group Bullseye
  • 00:06:16
    27015 20,000 strength
  • 00:06:19
    3 I know that's a lot of words but it
  • 00:06:21
    makes it absolutely clear what's
  • 00:06:23
    happening there should be no question
  • 00:06:25
    about who is shooting and what the
  • 00:06:27
    target is now I want mention a version
  • 00:06:30
    of the fox code I don't see mention very
  • 00:06:33
    often it's what gets used when multiple
  • 00:06:35
    missiles are launched and it's described
  • 00:06:37
    like
  • 00:06:38
    this what we see here are two ways to
  • 00:06:40
    communicate multiple
  • 00:06:42
    launches when you use the second prefix
  • 00:06:45
    it means an additional launch against
  • 00:06:47
    the same
  • 00:06:48
    Target so it would go like this Eagle 2
  • 00:06:51
    second fox 3 West
  • 00:06:54
    group this is what would follow if an
  • 00:06:56
    initial weapon missed or if the pilot
  • 00:06:58
    simply wanted to increase the
  • 00:06:59
    probability of a kill with an additional
  • 00:07:02
    shot the other way to indicate
  • 00:07:04
    additional launches is with this
  • 00:07:06
    suffix so if sword one2 was targeting a
  • 00:07:09
    pair of hostile aircraft the call would
  • 00:07:11
    go like
  • 00:07:12
    this sword2 fox 3 two
  • 00:07:16
    ship this would assume one missile per
  • 00:07:18
    Target and it keeps the pilot from
  • 00:07:20
    making repeated Fox
  • 00:07:22
    calls now I know that was a lot of info
  • 00:07:24
    so let's do a quick
  • 00:07:26
    recap we use targeted to take
  • 00:07:28
    responsibility for for a group of radar
  • 00:07:31
    contacts within that group contacts are
  • 00:07:34
    assigned using the brevity terms sort
  • 00:07:36
    and
  • 00:07:37
    sorted once ordinance is employed then
  • 00:07:39
    we have the fox term to let everyone
  • 00:07:41
    know who the shooter and Target are in
  • 00:07:44
    all cases it's important to add
  • 00:07:45
    amplifying information this means adding
  • 00:07:48
    important details that can build a good
  • 00:07:50
    picture of what's
  • 00:07:52
    Happening even though Modern Combat
  • 00:07:54
    aircraft have great situational
  • 00:07:55
    awareness with tools like link 16 data
  • 00:07:58
    links we have to remember their
  • 00:08:01
    limitations this display does not show
  • 00:08:03
    missiles in Flight that information has
  • 00:08:05
    to be conveyed over the
  • 00:08:07
    radio for my DCs players I know this can
  • 00:08:10
    cause a problem because you're often
  • 00:08:11
    flying solo or with just one
  • 00:08:14
    friend in those cases proper brevity
  • 00:08:16
    isn't so
  • 00:08:17
    important and solo players don't need
  • 00:08:20
    any brevity at all when you're flying
  • 00:08:22
    with only one friend you can skip the
  • 00:08:24
    call sign because you know who's talking
  • 00:08:27
    but this can build bad habits that will
  • 00:08:28
    carry over when you play with larger
  • 00:08:31
    groups so it's a good idea to practice
  • 00:08:33
    proper brevity even with just one
  • 00:08:35
    wingman now there's another problem that
  • 00:08:37
    can happen in bvr and it's a radar
  • 00:08:39
    screen that looks like this there are
  • 00:08:42
    both friendly and enemy aircraft on this
  • 00:08:44
    screen so how do you figure out who's a
  • 00:08:46
    valid Target I have an entire video
  • 00:08:49
    dedicated to answering that question and
  • 00:08:51
    you can check it out here and as always
  • 00:08:54
    I hope you learned something from this
  • 00:08:55
    video and thanks for watching
