Step 2. Select a Target.
Once you have visually
spotted a target, place it
within the targeting circle
by maneuvering the aircraft
and turning your head in
the direction of the target.
You can move your head
using the joystick coolie hat
Steering the Scan Pattern with the Helmet Mounted Sight
or the numeric keys on the
keypad. In so doing, the
targeting circle moves with
your head. The figure above illustrates how you search for a target when the EOS
is slaved to the HMTD system. To padlock your eyes onto the target, press *
(asterisk) on the keypad.
Step 3. Lock onto the Target.
To place the HMTD onto the
padlocked target, use either the
joystick coolie hat or the scan cone
keys. Once the circle is on the
target, press the Tab key. The
HMTD is now padlocked to the
target (along with your eyes) and
the weapons control system is put
into the Autotrack mode.
Visual Steering Cues with the Helmet Mounted Sight If the HUD gets out of view, a set
of visual cues appears next to the
targeting circle. These cues
indicate your airspeed and altitude, the aircraft datum and pitch angle, and the
engines RPMs (105% for both engines in the figure above).
