Electronic Chinpods
Electronic Chinpods |
| The electronic chin pods are vitally important for the F-14, since they give the Tomcat the capabilities beyond visual range. The infra red (IR) sensor system was an early addition to the standard ECM antenna and position light. The later addition of a tactical camera system (TCS) enables the F-14 crew to visually identify hostile aircraft at ranges of about 10 miles distance. Who else can look that far? First sight, first shot! |
