DTC SETTING
Pilots are required to program their DTC during flight planning.
DTC programming allows each pilot to set the following cockpit & system
settings that are mission specific:
1. Target Waypoints
2. EWS programming
3. MFD Slot modes
4. Preset UHF & VHF radio frequencies
5. IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)
6. Pre-planned Threats
7. Lines steerpoints (for Feba – patrol area,…)
Refer to BMS Manual for instruction on how to set the DTC during planning.
On system power-up load the DTE from OSB #7 of the main menu MFD.

UHF BACKUP Radio Operation

Note:
Prior to engine start, you only have access to Backup mode with the ELEC
switch in BATT. If communication with your flight is needed, you will use
the backup UHF preset channels or manual frequency.
VHF is not available as there is no Backup VHF.

EWS

Note:
The EWS can be set through the DTC programming at prefight and may be
reprogrammed in flight through the UFC by LIST # 7.

EWS Program
6 programs are available for the countermeasure system:
Pgr 1 to 4 are released on CMS up according to which one is selected on the
CMDS (PGRM knob)
Pgr 5 is on the slap switch (above throttle gate)
Pgr 6 is on CMS left.
Without flipping any knob you have then access at all times to three different
programs to counter a threat.

EWS Mode
EWS has 5 distinct modes.
STBY: is set to allow manual prog through the UFC.
MAN: Manual launch of the selected sequence.
SEMI: Betty prompt pilot to release with COUNTER. Only one program
released.
AUTO: Auto release selected program as long as threat remains active.
Once consent is given it is assumed valid till cancelled by CMS aft.
BYP: Bypass mode. Release only 1 chaff and 1 flare (useful when running
low of bundles.)

AIR TO AIR TACAN

Aircraft set on AA tacan 63 channels apart are getting DME range from
each others. Only KC-10 AA tacan is able to provide bearing information
plus DME range. Usually Y band is used for AA tacan, but any band will do.

1. UFC Select T-ILS #1 page

2. TACAN Mode Set T/R AA (dobber right (SEQ))
3. Tacan Band Set required band (input 0 in scratchpad to
toggle band)
4. Tacan channel Set 63 apart: (at or above 64, add 63 – below
64, subtract 63)
5. DED Check DME reading in lower right corner
6. HSI Select Tacan mode & Check DME reading
(bearing pointer rotating at 30°/sec unless KC-
10)

Ai always use SET AA tacan channels:

First flight in a package always use: 12, 22, 75, 85 (lead to #4)
Second flight uses the same sequence, but incremented by 1: 13, 23, 76, 86
Up to 5 flights can be supported.
Humans can set any patterns they want – to brief in flight planning

MARKPOINTS

Depending on Master modes and the conditions when the MARK page is
entered, markpoints may be automatically made in STPT #26:

Own ship markpoints are stored in STPT 26-30. 5 markpoints can be saved
before the 6th overrides the 1st. Ownship markpoints are displayed on the
MFDs with large X cross.

1. FCR markpoints:
To record a FCR markpoint automatically on entering mark page, you have to
set AG mastermode, AG FCR SOI and AG FCR designating prior to entering
MARK page. In that case, MARK is done automatically.
To make a manual FCR mark, DCS right to FCR mark in the MARK page,
designate with AG FCR and hit TMS up to record the mark.

2. TGP markpoints:
To record a TGP markpoint automatically on entering mark page, you have to
set AG mastermode, TGP SOI and ground stabilized prior to entering MARK
page. In that case, MARK is done automatically.
To make a manual TGP mark, DCS right to TGP mark in the MARK page,
ground stabilize the TGP and hit TMS up to record the mark.

3. OFLY markpoints:
OFLY markpoints are automatically stored when entering the mark page if the
master mode is AA. To make a manual OFLY mark, DCS right to OFLY in the
MARK page and hit TMS up to record the mark.

4. HUD markpoints:
HUD markpoints are never automatic. When HUD mark is selected, the HUD
is made SOI and a mark Piper appears alongside the FPM. Piper can be
moved with cursors to the desired mark position. Piper is then ground
stabilized with TMS up. A further TMS up records the mark.

IDM (IMPROVED DATA MODEM)

Datalink is independent of aircraft master mode – in Falcon; it will be mostly
used in a multi-player environment.

Please note Default datalink use UHF (AA) and VHF (AG) frequency.
Ensure common use of frequency for proper IDM operation (AI only uses
Tactical UHF #6 for AA datalink)

Air to Air datalink is implemented in three different modes of operation:

Demand (DMD), Assign (ASGN) and Continuous (CONT):
1. DMD : Ask a one shot Situational Awareness (wingmen position,
altitude, speed and heading and TOI if present) update
2. ASGN: Assign a TOI to another flight member.
3. CONT: Establish a Continuous Situational Awareness update
(wingmen position, altitude, speed and heading and TOI if present).
Update received in DMD or ASGN are displayed for 8 seconds and
refreshed every 8 seconds in CONT mode.

Air to Air datalink is possible with 7 other aircraft #2 to #8 addresses

inputted in the Air to Air Dlink page (LIST ENTER SEQ) of the DED. Your
flight members are inputted by default. If you need to add other aircraft in
your package, use the remaining empty slot address (ie. #21, #31 to
communicate with the leader of flight #2 and #3.

Air to Ground datalink allows sending Air to Ground radar cursor position,
currently selected steerpoint (markpoint, steerpoint of interest) to other
aircraft in your package. Dlink steerpoints are stored in waypoints #71 to 80
if FILL option is set to ALL.
Addresses receiving the Dlink information are set in the Air to Ground Dlink
page (LIST ENTER) XMIT. To send data to all members of a flight, input the
general flight address (#20, #30, …) To send data to a specific aircraft, input
its own address in XMIT (#21, #22, #13,…)

Datalink requests are done with the Radio switch left and Right as illustrated
below: Air to Air datalink is on the LEFT side, Air to Ground datalink is on the
RIGHT side:

F-16 checklists Avionics volume 10

AIR TO AIR DATALINK

AA Datalink sends and receives ownship position, flight member position,

altitude, airspeed and heading as well as the target of interest if there is a
bugged contact on the AA FCR and the AA FCR is displayed.
COMM switch LEFT for less than 0.5sec declutters the FCR of DLINK
symbols.

1. DL Switch Check ON
2. DL addresses Check own ship and intraflight address in DED AA
page (LIST ENTER SEQ)
3. MFD Control page Check ADLINK selected

DMD mode:
4. Verify DL Mode Check A-A FCR OSB #6 for DMD mode
5. Depress COMM switch LEFT for >0.5sec
6. Verify DMD mnemonic highlighted for 2 seconds
7. Verify data received in HSD or AA FCR
DMD mode request current positions, altitude and heading to all datalink
addresses (usually your flight)

ASGN mode:
You can assign a target regardless of the datalink mode (DMD, CONT) You
have to select a specific datalink address to ASSIGN the TOI.
4. Select radar contact to assign (TOI) in AA FCR radar
5. Select recipient with AA FCR OSB #7 to #10
6. Check Assigned Slot (AA FCR OSB #7 to #10) XMIT status
7. Check ASSIGN in HUD for 8 seconds
8. Check recipient radar cursor position on HSD and/or FCR
9. Repeat steps to assign another TOI to another flight member
No need to depress COMM switch left to assign. Selecting the recipient
through the MFD FCR OSB is sufficient. The recipient MFD OSB will show
XMIT
Note that you can assign a target to yourself (#1) the same way.

CONT mode:
4. Verify DL Mode Check A-A FCR OSB #6 for CONT mode
5. Depress COMM switch LEFT for >0.5sec to initiate the CONT loop.
6. Unselect CONT mode with OSB #6 to stop the loop
CONT mode initiates continuous datalink for all flight members. During
CONT mode, ASGN remains of course possible to any specific datalink
addresses.
Only 1 member use CONT mode (flight lead)…Refer to prebriefed
procedures.

ADVANCED TARGETING POD OPERATION

Note:
• The TGP needs cooling before use. Cooling starts when the TGP
is powered with the RIGHT HDPT switch. TGP will display NOT
TIMED OUT while cooling. It requires a few minutes before being
operational.
• Recommended MFD slots are FCR/WPN/- (LEFT) and
HSD/TGP/SMS (RIGHT)– See DTC settings
• There are three track modes available for the TGP:
Point track: Suitable for automatic tracking of vehicle or aircraft
Area track : Suitable for large structure targeting (building,
bridge,…)
Computed Rate: Degraded automatic tracking when a mask
condition exists.
• The Laser will be operable only past Wow and below 50.000feet
• Only the COMBAT mode of the laser can guide weapons for AG.
The Training laser (eye safe) is the only mode available to AA.
• Laser cannot go through clouds

Air to Air mode:

TGP can be used in A-A to identify and track target with or without the
radar. AA TGP is slaved to FCR if a target is tracked or if a cursor
position exists – if not the AA TGP is boresighted at 0° azimuth and -3°
elevation.
Once TGP is POINT tracking a target it becomes independent of FCR.
The A-A TGP is perfectly suited to identify target at medium range

1. Hardpoint power Check RIGHT HDPT ON

2. Master ARM ARM (or SIM)
3. TGP Ops mode Select A-A (TGP OSB #1)
4. Bug target on A-A FCR
5. Switch SOI to TGP with DMS down
6. Commands a POINT track with TMS forward
Change FOV with pinky and Display polarity (WHOT – BHOT – TV)
with TMS left as required
7. If POINT track is lost, TMS aft to re-slave the TGP to the FCR.

Note: Area track, Combat laser, LST, IR pointer and coordinates are not
available in AA mode.

ADVANCED TARGETING POD OPERATION (Cont)

Air to Ground mode:
TGP is used in Air to Ground mode to identify and track target for
guided bombing, ranging, IR pointer, buddy lasing, Laser spot
tracking (LST) & Air to Ground missile operations.

1. Hardpoint power Check RIGHT HDPT ON

2. Master ARM ARM (or SIM)
3. LASER ARM switch ARM (if required)
4. TGP Laser code Match WPN codes in DED (Laser page)
5. LST code Match wingman WPN code (if required)
6. LASER mode Set Combat (L) or Training (T) (Lsr page)
7. TGP mode Select A-G (TGP OSB #1)
8. Designate target on GM FCR if required
9. Switch SOI to TGP with DMS down
10. Ground stabilize the TGP in AREA TRACK with TMS forward
11. Refine the TGP cursor on the desired target.
Change FOV and Display polarity as required
12. Command POINT track with TMS forward if required
POINT track works only for objects with well defined edges.
13. Check laser ranging (L before slant range)
(L= Laser; T= computed; blank= SPI range)
14. Follow bombing cues for LGB basket.

Post release:
15. Command a gentle LEFT turn away from the target if possible.
16. Monitor TIME to IMPACT countdown
17. Stay out of the clouds (Clouds will Mask the laser beam)
18. Check Laser firing (flashing L) prior to impact according to UFC
Laser page setting.

After impact
19. Break AREA track with TMS AFT
20. Cursor Zero (CZ)
21. Set FOV to Wide
22. LASER switch OFF (if required)

Note
To be able to guide a weapon the TGP laser needs to match the weapon
laser code displayed at the UI arming screen. Make sure you write down
the assigned laser code in your flight planning. Weapon code should be
different for each flight member.
After any cursor slew, ALWAYS perform TMS AFT, CZ, Wide FOV to
reset SPI. A good practise is to do it again at each IP
