step is to designate the point on the ground near which your desired target is
located. Press the TAB key to stabilize the Mavericks seeker on this point in pitch
and yaw. Once stabilized, you can move the center of the pointing cross above
your desired target. Once the target is in range, the seeker will automatically lock
on to the target and follow it. You can launch the missile at this time.
The only difference between the two versions of the Maverick is that the AGM-
65K is optically guided with no magnification level and the AGM-65D is infraredguided
and has an optional 6X magnification level in addition to the default 3X.
The view from the seeker head appears on the TV monitor located on the right
side of the instrument panel. The monitor shows the view with either no
magnification or 4x zoom. The unmagnified view includes Narrow Field of View
brackets. The brackets show the field of view visible in the monitor when zoomed
to 4x magnification.
The pointing cross moves within the monitor,
indicating where the missile seeker is looking
relative to the aircraft centerline. For example, if the
pointing cross is above and to the right of the center
of the monitor, the missile is looking above and to
the right of the aircraft’s nose. The AGM-65 can
acquire 60° off boresight, but launch constraints
require the missile be within +/- 30° off boresight.
