Secret Documents #201: F-4E Guide - Pave Spike Targeting Pod
Added 2025-01-15 11:00:06 +0000 UTCHi folks!
When it comes to clunky old sensors, the AN/AVQ-23 "Pave Spike" targeting pod really takes the cake (at least in DCS). Those of you who are used to modern pods like the LITENING or the LANTIRN will realize how easy you had it. Jokes apart, the Pave Spike had interesting capabilities for the time and was mainly used in situations where the general location of the target is already known. There is an interesting aspect to it when it comes to slant range computation or even cueing/slaving functions in general, but I'll let you read about that for yourself.
