| The F-14s fire control and radar system is one of the most advanced in the world. The AN/AWG-9
weapons control system can detect and track countermeasures-equipped targets at ranges of 195
miles, depending on target size. Up to 24 targets can be tracked simultaneously. Destruction of
targets firing the Hughes AIM-54 missile took place at ranges in excess of 125 miles!
The F-14D received a new radar system, the AN/APG-71 radar that enables multiple tracking, too, with
twice the range of the AN/AWG-9 radar. |
