The AGM-65 IR Maverick Missile is an infrared-guided,
rocket-propelled, air-to-ground missile for use against targets requiring
considerable warhead penetration prior to detonation. The missile is capable
of two pre-flight selectable modes of target tracking. The armor or land
track mode is optimized for tracking land-based targets such as tanks
or fortified emplacements. The ship track mode is optimized for tracking
seaborne targets. The missile is capable of launch-and-leave operation.
After launch, automatic missile guidance is provided by an imaging infrared
energy sensing and homing device.
The AN/AAS-36A Infrared Detecting Set
[IRDS] provides passive imaging of infrared wavelength radiation to
visible light emanating from the terrain along the aircraft flight path
for stand-off detection, tracking, and classification capability. The
IRDS update will primarily consist of an improved A-focal lens.
The AN/AVX-1 Electro-Optical Sensor System
[EOSS] is an airborne stabilized electro-optical system that provides
video for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The AN/AVX-1 EOSS
has the capability to detect and monitor objects during the day from exceptionally
clear to medium hazes, dawn and dusk, and during the night from a full
moon to starlight illumination.
The AN/APS-137B(V)5 Radar is capable
of multimode operation to provide periscope and small target detection,
navigation, weather avoidance, long range surface search and Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) and ISAR imaging modes. SAR provides detection, identification,
and classification capability of stationary targets. ISAR provides detection,
classification, and tracking capability against surface and surfaced submarine
targets. The AN/APS-137B(V)5 ISAR provides range, bearing, and positional
data on all selected targets, and provides medium or high resolution images
for display and recording.
The EP-2060 Pulse Analyzer works in
conjunction with the AN/ALR-66C(V)3 to detect, direction find, quantify,
process, and display electromagnetic signals emitted by land, ship, and
airborne radar systems.
Three Color High Resolution Display [CHRD]
general purpose, dual channel, closed circuit units provide the operator
with improved Operator-Machine-Interface and 1024 X 1280 pixel landscape
orientation, improved response time to operator commands, and an increase
of 300 percent in the video refresh rate to minimize display flicker.
Five types of data may be displayed on the CHRD: cursors, cues, tableau,
alerts, and raw video.
The Pilot Color High Resolution Display [PCHRD]
provides the ability to display complex tactical and sensor information
to the pilot station.
The Over-the-Horizon Airborne Sensor Information
System [OASIS] III data is received and prepared for
transmission via the OASIS III Tactical Data
Processor (TDP). OASIS III processes and correlates all data
provided via MATT and Mini-DAMA. The OASIS III TDP provides an Officer
in Tactical Command Information Exchange System (OTCIXS) message link,
coupled with GPS-aided targeting using the AN/APS-137B(V)5 Radar.
The OZ-72(V) Multi-Mission Advanced Tactical
Terminal [MATT] system will provide Tactical Receive Equipment
(TRE) capability to receive and decrypt three simultaneous channels of
Tactical Data Information Exchange Subsystem (TADIXS-B), Tactical Related
Applications (TRAP), and Tactical Information Broadcast Service (TIBS)
information. The system will route the received broadcast data to the
OASIS III for further processing.
The AN/USC-42(V)3 Miniaturized Demand Assigned
Multiple Access [Mini-DAMA] will provide for secure voice communications.
Mini-DAMA provides for the transmission, reception, and decryption of
OTCIXS data and the subsequent routing of that data to the OASIS III TDP.
The AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning System [MWS]
is a passive electro-optical system designed to detect surface-to-air
and air-to-air missiles. Upon detection of an incoming missile, the MWS
will report the impending threat to the Countermeasures Dispensing System
(CMDS).
The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing System
[CMDS] will be used for dispensing flares, chaff, non-programmable
expendable jammers, and programmable jammers.
The AN/ALR-66C(V)3 Electronic Support Measures
Set provides all the same features as an AN/ALR-66B(V)3 ESM
Set. However, the ALR-66C(V)3 Set incorporates the AS-105 spinning DF
antenna and the Operational Flight Program is modified to accommodate
this configuration difference. Also included is the EP-2060 Pulse Analyzer,
an upgrade to the ULQ-16.
