Laser Guided Munitions. If ammunition copperhead is selected, FO can enter a PRF code for

the round. Standard radio transmissions will be used when controlling this type of round.

Step 1: After the call for fire is transmitted, if copperhead is selected, VBS3Fires will

report the time of flight, angle T and if the round is approaching from the left or

right side of the FO target line.

By Round At My Command does not support when ‘With Rounds’ are added.
