Figure 3-17.—AN/AWW-9/13 advanced data-link pod. weapon control functions for several individual weapon launchings during one mission (not simultaneously). The three frequency channels (A, C, and E) are used to control the individual weapons launchings. The three channels prevent the control section of the weapon from responding to override (steering) commands from a pod that is not set to that weapon’s specific frequency channel. Therefore, more than one weapon/pod operation can be conducted in the same area. The Walleye II ERDL Mk 38 series (frequency channels A, C, and E) practice guided weapon is used for captive flight and data-link training for pilots of data link configured F/A-18 aircraft. The practice guided weapon contains the same data link components as the tactical Walleye I ERDL Mk 23 weapon except that the warhead in the Mk 38 is filled with inert material. Q1. Q2. Q3. Q4. Q5. Q6. Q7. Q8. REVIEW NUMBER 5 Name the four basic series of Walleye guided weapon systems. List the sections of the Walleye I tactical weapon. When the Walleye I is used, how is a typical attack situation formed? What type of suspension does the Walleye II have ? What is the difference between the Walleye I and Walleye II weapons? Name the functions the Walleye II ERDL have that the Walleye I and Walleye II don't have. The data-link pod provides the ____________. What prevents the control section of one weapon from responding to commands not set to its channel? GUIDED MISSILE LAUNCHERS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: ldentify the purpose and recognize the use of guided missile launchers. Identify the components of the LAU-7/A (series) guided missile launcher. Guided missile launchers provide the mechanical and electrical means of suspending and air-launching a guided missile from an aircraft. Because the physical, mechanical, and functional requirements vary for each particular missile-to-aircraft configuration (table 3-2), a brief description of each type of missile launcher is discussed in the following paragraphs.
