Summary
XRK JTAC
JTAC and CAS coordination system for ARMA Reforger. Request CAS in seconds, automatically transmit JTAC location and frequency to pilots, and coordinate strikes through radio communication
Description
XRK JTAC v0.1 Pre-Alpha
Real JTAC procedures, not JTAC paperwork.
XRK JTAC is designed to streamline Close Air Support coordination while keeping the most important part of CAS intact: communication between the JTAC and the pilot.
Instead of opening maps, placing markers, and typing coordinates into chat, JTACs can quickly transmit a CAS request directly to pilots carrying an XRK Pilot Radio. Pilots receive the JTAC's location, frequency, and CAS request details, then conduct the mission through normal radio communications.

Plain Text
===== XRK CAS REQUEST =====
JTAC: RAVEN 1
FREQ: 40.500
GRID: 042 128
TARGET: Enemy Forces
RANGE TO JTAC: 5.3 KM

Intended Workflow
JTAC identifies need for CAS.
JTAC uses the radio and selects Call CAS.
Pilots receive the CAS request.
Pilots contact the JTAC on the provided frequency.
JTAC guides the aircraft onto the target using radio communications and laser designation.
Aircraft conducts attack.
The system is designed to work with helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, drones, and future aircraft mods without requiring aircraft-specific compatibility patches.
Planned Features
Future Updates
Live radio frequency detection
Enhanced JTAC reporting
Additional radio variants
OPFOR JTAC support
INDFOR JTAC support
Optional digital target handoff
Additional JTAC tools and equipment
Dependencies
This mod currently utilizes external laser-designation systems for target marking.
Pre-Alpha Notice
This is an early development release intended for testing and feedback.
Features may be incomplete, change significantly, or break between updates. Feedback from pilots, JTACs, and MilSim groups is highly appreciated.
