Kill Box

Kill Box Profile Description for GS 08-01.

ROE:
Loadout will be 3 CBU 58's, 2 CBU 97's, 3 Mk-82's, 1 LAU-3/A, full Guns. You may add a centerline if you would like, but no other load out modifications are permitted.

You may only fly this mission 1 time for the Gunsmoke competition. In this mission you will be hunting down 7 different targets at various locations within a 100 mile square kill box. There will be NO stpt info referencing where these targets are. I set the steerpoint info in the flight computer to set the boundaries of the 100 SQ mile box. You may load the mission up to look at the briefing screen as often as you like as many times as you like. Develope your own strategy for planning the mission and being able to find the targets. You'll be able to see where the targets are located on the mission brief. With creative planning you should be able to come up with a strategy that will work for you. YOU MAY NOT set target steerpoints or write down GPS info for this profile. This mission will test your ability to mission plan, fly and find targets under adverse and austere conditions. You'll need to do this old school. Observers can come along on these flights, but they need to be pilots who have already flown the mission for obvious reasons. The targets will be multiple different types such as a patriot battery, M1-A1's, German Leopard tanks, infantry ect. I used friendly forces so you won't be shot down during the mission.

Pilots can split up to find and attack separate targets. You can also stay together if you like. The number of units killed at each target site does not matter. As long as you get at least 1 damaged/destroyed unit you get points. So whether you get one unit or 20 at any given target site you'll get the same points. EACH pilot successfully hitting a target site gets points. You MUST land at home plate to get full points for the Kill Box Run. You must stop target hunting at the 1 hour time limit.

The idea here is to find and get a kill at as many of the 7 target locations as you can within 60 mins. How exactly you approach this is up to you. The time starts at your flights scheduled take off time. After the 60 mins time limit is up you MUST fly home and land. Any bombs released before the time is up but hitting after the time limit has elapsed DO count. REMEMBER, you're not looking for maximum # of kills at any one target location here. As long as you get 1 kill on a target area it shows your ability to find and prosecute an attck in adverse conditions, and that's what we're looking for. Each location you get a kill/kills at counts as one kill for 100 points....any extra kills you get at a specific target location will not count as "extra" kills for extra points.

Scoring

Sucessful hits (kills on debrief screen and/or verified via film/ACMI) at target area + 100 points (per pilot)

Not landing at home plate - 300 points (per pilot)
