LANTIRN TUTORIAL

For use with F-16 Multirole Fighter by NovaLogic

One of the more complex elements of the F-16 is theLow Altitude Navigation and
Targeting InfraRed for Night system. The LANTIRN system actually consists of the

AN/AAQ-13 Navigation pod and the AN/AAQ-14 Targeting pod that attach under the

forward fuselage of the F-16.

When the F-16 takes off, the LANTIRN is directed 30 degrees down from the horizontal
attitude. It can be made to slew in a 180-degree arc from this point, allowing it to follow
terrain and track ground targets.

For additional information on the LANTIRN system, please visit the

Official Lockheed Martin website at www.lmco.com/LANTIRN/info.html

Using LANTIRN Navigational Pod

The navigation pod's terrain-following radar (TFR) and
forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor enable pilots to fly
during daylight or at night, under the weather, and at very
low altitude. The TFR lets pilots maintain a selected
altitude over terrain with varying elevation.

Press the F9 key to activate the LANTIRN on the HUD.
The holographic HUD will illuminate with a greenish
overlay.

The LANTIRN Navigational pod has a 21˚ x 28˚ field
of view.
