Example 3
Aircraft: AH-6 — Egg 2
FAC: Reaper 7
Line 1
FAC: “Egg 2, this is Reaper, CAS request.”
Aircraft: “Egg 2, send CAS request.”
Line 2
FAC: “GRID 2234,4353.”
Line 3
FAC: “Six technicals with 50 cal, open terrain, marked by IR sparkle.”
Line 4
FAC: “Friendlies no factor.”
Line 5
FAC: “Ingress as required, Request guns.”
Aircraft Readback:
Aircraft: “Egg 2, target GRID 2234,4353. Six technicals with 50 cal, open terrain, marked by IR sparkle. Friendlies no factor. Requesting guns.”
FAC:
“Egg 2, readback correct, Cleared Hot Type III.”
Aircraft:
“Egg 2, inbound.”
Aircraft (Target Identification):
“Reaper, Egg 2, unable to determine target location from sparkle. Request increased laser movement.”
FAC:
“Egg 2, Reaper, Wilco. Sparkle now circling the target.”
(FAC increases the IR laser movement around the target to improve target identification.)
Aircraft:
“Egg 2, visual technicals, in hot.”
(Aircraft conducts first attack.)
Aircraft (Follow-on CAS Actions):
“Egg 2, off target, observed impacts on target, two technicals destroyed, four remaining.”
FAC:
“Egg 2, continue engagement.”
(Aircraft conducts additional attacks.)
Aircraft:
“Egg 2, off target, observed impacts on target, remaining technicals destroyed.”
FAC:
“Egg 2, terminate, target neutralised.”
