  2. Weapons Control Link between aircraft and weapons Controls weapon release Targeting Systems Sensor & radars used to locate target Introduction

  3. Stores Management Systems (SMS) • Primary interface between aircraft and its weapons (stores) • Provides necessary power and control to safely release weapons • Tornado: • Weapon Programming Unit (WPU) • Weapon Control Panel (WCP-1) • Pilots Control Panel (WCP-2) • Pylon Decoder Unit (AAMU) • Intervallgerber (IVG) • Gun Electronic Unit (GEU) http://www.smiths-aerospace.com/Products--/Images/Tornado%20Stores%20Management%20System.jpg

  4. Fire Control Radar Lockheed Martin • Searches, detects, locates, classifies, and prioritize multiple moving targets • Target data (i.e., azimuth, elevation, range and velocity) automatically transferred to other platforms • Used by Apache AH-64D Attack Helicopter http://www.missilesandfirecontrol.com/our_products/combatvision/LONGBOW/images/pic-product-Longbow1.jpg

  5. LANTIRN ER Lockheed Martin(Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night Extended Range) • Day/night/under the weather capability • Altitudes from sea level to 40,000 ft • Navigation & Targeting Pod mounted beneath aircraft • Applications: • F-14, F-15E, F-16C/D http://www.missilesandfirecontrol.com/our_products/combatvision/LANTIRN/images/pic-product-lantirn.jpg
