PART D: INFRARED MISSION REPORTING
1. In reporting IR mission results the same formats are used as for reporting mission results
from aerial photography or SLAR.
2. In-flight report (INFLIGHTREP). The OV-1D Mohawk aircraft employed by the US
National Guard has in-flight readout devices in the cockpit; the RF-4C, F-4E, and F-111F
aircraft uses the AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack forward-looking IR sensor. It requested, the air crew
of these aircraft can transmit mission results over a secure voice radio directly to the
requester's tactical air control party (TACP) or collection management and dissemination
(CM&D) mission manager. However, the RF-4C using the AN/AAD-5 IR reconnaissance set
does not have cockpit readout capability. There are two different INFLIGHTREP formats, the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) format is shown in Figure 1-14, and the US
Message Text Format (USMTF) shown in Figure 1-15.
