A simplified flow diagram is, provided at the end of this description to show all other aircraft avionics systems that are used in support of the WRCS equipment and associated delivery modes, ‘The available detivery modes are selected on the delivery ‘mode knob, The level delivery modes are the LAYDOWN, DIVE LAYDOWN and OFFSET BOMB selections; the dive delivery modes ace odtained by selecting DIVE TOSS. ‘The TGT FIND position selects & navigational mode ie which a selease signal eanaot he obtained. Therefore, the ‘TGT FIND selection is 2 SAFE (or OF) position of the control as far as weapon deployment is concerned for any weapon except guns. The AGM-45 position is 2 WRCS. missile mode ard the system provides the automatic launch signal in either a dive, level, or pellup maneuver (Gee Delivery Modes, Air~to-Ground). Bach delivery mode is deseribed later in this section. NOTE On aircraft with a Pave Spike pod loaded and pod POWER ON selected, the slant range indicator ‘mode knob must be in the WRCS position to ob- fain weapon releaso with the delivery mode knob in any WRCS mode. COMPUTER CONTROL PANEL ‘The WROS computer control panel has three TARGET in- put controls, two RELEASE input controls, and ¢ bomb DRAG COEFFICIENT Input control. Tre panel also has a BIT control knob that is used to select and test the gor ‘no-go status of the WRCS. Figure 1-5, WRCS manual Inputs, shows the required panel controls that must be set ‘with some value for each WRCS operating mode, ‘TARGET RANGE CONTROLS ‘The three target inputs are used for the target find and ‘offset bomb mode. ‘The distance between the IP identification point) and the target is placed on the two ‘distance readout displays hy rotating the adjacent control knobs. The distance readout is in hundreds-of-fect. The top target distance control receives the north or south Gistance, the lower target distance control receives the castor west tangot distance. For the offset hom and target find mode, the altitude value placed in the ALT RANGE, control should be either (1) the target or RIP elevation {MBL} for the planned run-in altitude or (2) the target or RIP pressure altitude. For the laydown bombing mode, the ALT RANGE control receives the range from the IP to target in hundredeof-feet, Either the ALT or RANGE: placard is illuminated under the panel, depending on the Uelivery mode selected, ‘The maximum setting on the target controls is 999 > 100 feet (99,900 feet), Tick marks are provided on the 100-foot dial to vermit intermediate soltings. ‘The dual purpose ALT RANGE control has the following maximum settings: the maximum ALT settings is 100 x 100 feet (10,000 fects the maximam RANGE. setting is 249 x 100 feet (24,900 etl.
