Air-to-Air Gunnery with the Head-Up Display
-
This film shows the pilot's forward view through the Head-Up Display (HUD) during and Air-to-Air gunnery mission at twilight.
-
The use of tracer bullets at twilight demonstrates excellent correlation between the actual bullet paths and the computed paths displayed on the HUD, even during high-g maneuvers.
-
In the "Snapshoot" mode, gun aiming computations are optimized for transient firing opportunities during dynamic target maneuvers.

Ground Attack
-
The F-16 can carry a greater payload over a greater distance and deliver its weapons with greater accuracy than any other multipurpose fighter in the world.
-
...multiple store stations...
...payloads up to 15,000 pounds...
...visual delivery accuracy...
...retains self-defense capability...
...speed/agility/size - reduces vulnerability...
...all weather capability...
