This paper describes a sensor/tracker system designed to support both air to air and air to ground automated weapon delivery at subsonic and supersonic speeds. The configuration, installation, operational application and test results are discussed. The 8-12 micron sensor, Nd-YAG laser, optics and gimbals located in the low drag conformal strake mounted head are described. A separate processor located in the aircraft hosting a 1750A computer, a video tracker and a digital scan converter signal processor and reformatter is discussed. Also discussed are the aircraft interfaces and the sensor/tracker operating modes. Pilot controls and displays are presented emphasizing interactions through the Multi-Function Display set.
