USAF high level bombing through clouds over North Vietnam, 14 June 1966.An EB-66 tactical jamming aircraft leads four F-105 fighter-bombers as a Pathfinder. Also called synchronous radar bombing or buddy bombing, this method required the EB-66 navigator to use his K-5 radar bombing navigation system to detect the target and send a signal tone to the F-105s to drop their bombs.
The island of Saipan in the Marianas was assaulted to provide Pacific air bases from which to bomb Japanese cities. Initial high-level, daylight bombing raids using high-explosive bombs on Japanese cities with their wood and paper houses produced disappointing results; the bombers were then switched to low-level, nighttime incendiary attacks ...
The Real-time Platform Reference Federation Object Model (RPR FOM) enables linking computer simulations of discrete physical entities into complex virtual worlds. It is a High Level Architecture (HLA) federation object model developed for distributed simulation applications of defense and security. [ 1 ]

The AN/APQ-7, or Eagle, was a radar bombsight system developed by the US Army Air Force. Early studies started in late 1941 under the direction of Luis Alvarez at the MIT Radiation Laboratory , but full-scale development did not begin until April 1943.
The STU features a retarder tail unit (RTU) that is for low-level bombing missions, while a ballistic tail unit (BTU) is for strategic high level bombing. [13] [12] [14] [15] Each HSLD-500 GPB carries 10,300 steel shells of 15 mm diameter. Each shell can target an area of up to 50 m from place of detonation with fragment density of >1 hit/sq m ...

As to the distinction between tactical and strategic bombing - IMO it's of little relevance here. After all the result is still the same: human suffering, civilian losses and destruction of cities. Whether done by strategic high-altitude level bombers, dive bombers or fighter/bomber planes changes little.
