Using LANTIRN with GBU Laser Guided
Bombs
GBUs are Laser Guided Bombs, this means the 
LANTIRN must “lase” or laser target a ground 
object for the bomb to be able to find it.  Since the 
bombs guidance system relies solely on the LANTIRN 
pod, you will not be able to acquire another target 
with the LANTIRN until the bomb has impacted on its 
target.  
Use the SCROLL LOCK key to activate the Laser 
Designator.  A small “
L
” will appear in the lower 
right corner of the screen when it is turned on.
Next you must manually slew the targeting head and keep the crosshairs over the ground
object you wish to bomb.  You cannot lase more than 180˚.
Note that you do not have to use the LANTIRN to drop bombs.  The Continuously
Computed Impact Point will release the unguided bombs with reasonable accuracy.
