Capabilities:
Ordnance: 20MM, 30MM, BDU-33, Mk 82 (inert), 2.75" Rockets
(inert), & LGB
Night Ops: Lighted bomb circle & NVG capable
Special Capabilities: LSTSS, Most targets are laser
certified, & Remote LGB Target
Threat Sim: RWRLTE system (2) & Smokey Sam (2)
Scoring: WISS & LSTSS
The WISS is designed to provide support to the
fleet in the training of pilot and aircrews at
Tactical Training Ranges (TTRs) in the
delivery of airborne ordnance. The WISS is an
electro-optical instrumented system designed to
accurately measure the impact location of air
delivered ordnance (usually bombs, rockets, or
mines) with respect to the target center. The
targets vary from a latitude/longitude position
on water to fixed bull’s-eye, buoys, barges, and
moving land targets (MLTs).
WISS system characteristics and
capabilities are:
•Actuate Bomb Scoring
•Variation of Weapons
•Variation of Targets
•Manual Scoring/Auto Scoring Capability
•Night Scoring Capability
•Real-Time Visual Display
•Standardized Database Archival &
Retrieval
•Integrated Facsimile Transmission
•Asynchronous Serial Output
The Large Scale Target Sensor System (LSTSS)
is an aircrew training system that detects laser
designator radiation on targets. The LSTSS
consists of multiple devices and Device
Controller Assemblies installed throughout the
target area and linked by a radio or fiber optic
channel Local Area Network (LAN).
