28.8 Correct Methodologies

28.8.1.1 What are the correct steps of conducting a coordinated illumination

1. Select AF / FFE in the First Transmission panel.

2. Enter the grid location in the Second Transmission panel.

3. Select the target description, and the method of engagement in the Third Transmission

panel.

4. In the Fourth Transmission panel select Illumination Mark button from the Subsequent

Corrections panel and transmit.

5. When the Fourth Transmission panel pops up again under Other Methods of Fire Control

select Coordinated Illumination and transmit. The First Transmission panel will pop up with

already selected options.

6. After the First Transmission panel pops up, click transmit.

7. After the Second Transmission panel pops up, click transmit.

8. In the Third Transmission panel, under method of engagement select the ammunition as HE

for the remaining number of guns. (As mentioned in step 3 select the remaining guns for the

HE rounds).

9. If the guns selection has not been done correctly there will be an error produced in the radio

log as follows: “GUN SELECTION CAUSED TO CONFLICTS”.

Method of engagement should be with lesser guns than the total amount of guns in the

battery. This is because the remaining guns should be available to fire HE while the others are

occupied with Illum. Assuming that there are 4 guns in the battery select 2 guns for the Illum

transmission, whereas the other 2 can be used for the HE rounds which will be fired later.
