S-3 AIRCRAFT The S-3 (fig. 15-33) weapon control system has the units, panels, switches, logic circuits, interfaces, computer, and controls necessary for selecting, arming, and releasing the kill or search stores. Status lights indicate store selection errors and stores go or no-go status. Electrical jettison release systems are used to release or eject all the wing stores and all search stores of the S-3 aircraft. REVIEW NUMBER 2 ANSWERS A1. In the F/A-18 aircraft, the armament safety override switch is located on the maintenance panel in the nosewheel well. A2. The   jettison   modes   of   the   F/A-18   aircraft include  (1)  emergency,  (2)  selective,  and  (3) auxiliary. A3. If  the  emergency  jettison  is  selected  on  the F/A-18  aircraft,  all  weapons  from  the  five pylon stations are released. A4. The  auxiliary  jettison  mode  is  used  in  the F/A-18    aircraft    when    emergency    and/or selective jettison fails.   It is a gravity jettison mode. A5. The  AN/AWW-4  fuze  function  control  system gives  the  F/A-18  aircraft  the  capability  of using electric fuzes. A6. To suspend and fire the Maverick missile from the   F/A-18   aircraft,   you   should   use   the BRU-32A and the LAU-117/A combination. A7. You should use the LAU-118/A to suspend the AGM-88    HARM    missile    on    the    F/A-18 aircraft. A8. The LAU-115C/A missile launcher is used on the wing pylon stations of the F/A-18 aircraft to  suspend  and  launch  an  AIM-7  Sparrow missile. Armament Control Panel The  armament  control  panel  (ACP)  provides  the pilot with control for the manual delivery of forward-firing   weapons,   droppable   stores,   and   the release of the SAR sonobuoy. AN/ALE-39 Countermeasures Dispensing System The  system  dispenses  expendable  payloads  that consist    of    chaff,    flares,    or    RF    jammers,    either individually or in-groups. Three dispensers are 15-28 Figure 15-33.—S-3 aircraft configuration.
