	RAF Coltishall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The TIALD pod was already flying on the Tornado, keeping a watchful eye on Saddam Hussein in Iraq during the aftermath of the Gulf War.
		The TIALD research and development programme for the Jaguar would be brought forward to enable the single-seater to meet the Bosnia requirement.
		TIALD had, to date, only been used by the two-seat Tornado and there was some doubt as to whether a solo pilot could fly the aircraft and attend to the Electronic Warfare systems and operate TIALD successfully.

	Coastal Command History - Squadrons
		A large number of Tornados, assisted by TIALD and Pavespike Buccaneers, were tasked against military targets early this morning.
		In the evening, Tornados fitted with TIALD returned to one of the airfields attacked earlier and scored three direct hits on communications facilities, missile and POL storage areas.
		However, overnight, Tornados equipped with TIALD attacked an airfield and scored direct hits on the runway and a taxiway intersection.

	Playing War
		TIALD is an upgraded version of the laser guidance system used to such effect in the Gulf War (remember those pictures of bombs disappearing down the air conditioning vents of buildings?).
		TIALD is not easy to operate, and was originally designed for two seater planes.
		Now, however, multiple copies of the TIALD sim have been ordered, copies which - because they run on a PC - are enormously versatile.

		Of these Litening and TIALD are often considered to be the most advanced of their type currently available.
		The TIALD or Thermal Imaging And Laser Designation system was developed by GEC-Marconi during the late-80's and early-90's.
		TIALD has been progressively upgraded since the prototypes first saw action including being made suitable for single seat aircraft.

	[12.0] Targeting Pods
		TIALD was combat-tested in prototype form during the Gulf War and produced in small numbers.
		At long range, it can be slaved to the Tornado's air-to-ground radar to lock onto the target, and then the weapons operator can choose between a wide or narrow field of view image.
		TIALD has "auto-tracking" capabilities to keep the laser beam locked on a designated target, and also contains a profile in ROM to allow it to recognize when the laser is being blocked by parts of the carrier aircraft.

	Panavia Tornado
		Recently, some RAF F3's were modified to be able to fire the ALARM anti-radiation missile, and thus be able to take on the mission of suppression of enemy air defences or SEAD.
		There are also rumoured plans to equip the F3's with TIALD pods, giving them the abilty to drop laser guided bombs, making them true multirole aircraft.
		Traditionally the ground-attack versions are camouflaged in a grey/green pattern whilst the fighter or air defence model is in light grey overall.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: SEPCAT GR.1 Jaguar Details
		The first step in the series of upgrades took place in 1994, when the British Ministry of Defense issued an ""Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR)"" to fit a handful of the machines with the GEC-Marconi TIALD (Thermal Imaging And Laser Designation) 200 targeting pod, which had been shown to be a necessity during operations in Bosnia.
		The Jaguars given this initial TIALD upgrade were given the new designation ""GR.1B"", and went into action over Bosnia in the spring of 1995, generally performing ""buddy designation"" for RAF Bae Harrier GR.7s.
		The ""Jaguar 96"" program brought the machine up to GR.1B standard, with TIALD support, the MIL-STD 1553B databus, the new HUD, and the hand controller (actually an improved version of that fitted to the GR.1B).

	BBC News \| Middle East \| Tornado pilots learn to handle 'smart bombs'
		The laser-guided Paveways - accurate to yards from a height of up to 35,000 feet - will give British pilots in any airstrikes an advantage over their comrades in the 1991 Gulf war, who had to brave anti-aircraft fire on low-level missions that cost several lives.
		He said: "When the Gulf war started, the TIALD was being developed.
		It was brought into service in a rush during the war and we flew some laser-guided bomb missions towards the end of the conflict.

	Falcon 4 EF2000 Expansion
		Also it seems that without the Tiald the guided bombs wont glide onto target and just fall straight even though in the targeting MFD you can still select and laser a target without the tiald.
		Does this mean that the tiald is necessary to laser bomb a target and without it you cant use guided bombs.
		I am asking becuase the game does seem to recognise the tiald and so AI flights dont seem to be installing it along with their guided bombs.

		Then I fly to my target area and with about 7 to 5 km from the target I activate TIALD (if you are directly in line with the target it should select it for you automatically) then track and laser the target.
		Works every time (for me at least) After activating the TIALD, turn the laser guidance on then slew the target in the VDU using [shft ] arrow keys, for close up use the zoom.

	TORNADO ADV (BAe)
		The RAF at St Athan in Wales carries out preliminary work and then the main conversion is undertaken at BAe Warton in Lancashire.
		The lack of full TIALD integration on the GR4 had no effect on the RAF's operational capability.
		In Kosovo, even if TIALD integration had been complete, the GR4 would not have been used because their were insufficient aircraft and trained crews to meet the task.

		To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Tornado GR/4's have a fully operational TIALD system; what percentage of the GR/4 fleet this represents; what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the TIALD system; and if he will make a statement.
		TIALD is a fully operational and very effective system fitted to a proportion of the Tornado GR1 fleet.
		Technical problems have delayed completion of the integration of TIALD onto GR4 aircraft but full operational clearance is expected to be achieved in late 2000.

		To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the (a) total estimated cost and (b) unit cost of the TIALD system included in the Tornado MLU programme specifying in each case the proportion of costs incurred by (i) development and (ii) production; and if he will make a statement.
		Integration of the TIALD system onto Tornado GR4 is but one element of the MLU93 firm price contract placed with PANAVIA (industrial consortium comprising BAE, DASA and Alenia) via the Tornado tri-national project office in 1994.
		The TIALD pods used on Tornado are common to a number of different aircraft types including Harrier GR7, Harrier T10, Tornado GR1 and Tornado GR4; and were procured as part of a separate equipment programme.

	1991 Gulf War Photo Feature - RAF Tornados 1
		Lazy and ignorant press reporting of the time indicated that most of the RAF Tornados were shot down during delivery of the JP 233, whereas in fact none of the losses occurred during the attack phase of a JP 233 mission, (see our Great Aviation Myths page).
		From 6 February 1991 five of the Tabuk aircraft formed a TIALD laser-designator flight.
		Over 1500 bombing sorties and 100 JP 233 sorties were flown by RAF Tornados during the Gulf War, together with 52 ALARM and 95 TIALD sorties.

		A variety of weapons including cluster, freefall, retard and laser guided bombs, as well as rockets can be carried on the four wing and one fuselage stations.
		To mark targets for laser-guided weapons, the aircraft carries the thermal imaging and laser designation (TIALD) pod.
		For self-defence, overwing Sidewinder infra-red missiles are carried and the aircraft is fitted with a comprehensive suite of electronic countermeasures.

	DESERT STORM - AN ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE
		Allied capacity to deliver PGMs was severely limited by the unavailability of Lantirn targeting pods to the USAF and Tiald pods to the RAF.
		Lantirns were carried only by the F-15E, largely committed to Scud hunting, while only a pair of development Tialds were carried by the Tornado force, which largely relied upon the geriatric Buccaneers for daylight designation with equally geriatric Pave Spike pods.
		The only aircraft fully equipped with suitable equipment were the Pave Tack fitted F-111Fs of the 48th TFW, deployed from the UK.

		I'll start it off by asking if anyone knows the reason the Litening pod is fitted to the starboard inboard underwing pylon instead of the centerline.
		RAF Harrier GR.7's carry the TIALD pod on the centerline, so why can't USMC Harrier II's do the same with Litening.
		The RAF carries the TIALD pod on a gun pack station, not the centre line station, this is because our Harrier's don't have guns

		Weird that they reffer to the pod as LANTIRN, the EO part of the system has been exported but the offical name of the product is "Sharpshooter".
		Ideally the Saudis would have not messed around with the LANTIRN which is upgraded 1980's technology, and would have gone for one of the new 40,000ft pods such as TIALD, SNIPER or LITENING.
		However the Saudis did already have LANTIRN on the F15 and problably saw it as an oppertunity to use the same pods on both aircraft.

		Try to pick a geographical marker if possible (a different color building or one that's taller).
		Then fly to the target area, and within about seven to five km from the target activate TIALD (if you are directly in line with the target it should select it for you automatically), then track and laser the target.
		With the TIALD MFD selected, drop the bomb at the appropriate point.

	Tornado 'Paveway Tornados' by Michael Rondot The BEST in Aviation Limited Edition Art www.AvCollect.com
		No other aviation artist captures the feel and thrill of fast jet low level flying like Michael Rondot, and he has done it again with PAVEWAY TORNADOS - creating another superbly detailed composition charged with the power and atmosphere so characteristic of his paintings.
		In this remarkably accurate portrayal of low level action at sunset he features a pair of FLIR-equipped Tornado GR4s carrying a TIALD laser designator pod and GBU-24 Paveway III laser guided bombs.
		These weapons, used to such devastating effect during the Gulf War by USAF F-lllF and F-117A Black Jet aircraft, now give the RAF the same capability to attack targets with pinpoint accuracy, both day and night, in adverse weather and from all altitudes.

		Pride of place for Gulf War short notice efforts must however go to the Florida based U.S. Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC - the USAF’s ARDU) and their contractor team for the design, testing, prototyping and operational deployment of the GBU-28 Bunker Buster bomb during the Desert Storm campaign.
