1.4.10. WPN page
The WPN page is accessed from the menu page by depressing OSB #18.
It gives the pilot access to onboard weapons sensors.
Some weapons such as AGM-65 Mavericks and the
AGM-88 HARM have onboard sensors that may be
used to acquire and lock targets. Since the sensor is
onboard the missile it should be obvious that once the
missile is away the MFD can no longer display the
sensor image.
HARMs
POS EOM is displayed on the WPN page when the
HARM is selected and ready.
See weapon specific documentation for HARM
deployment.
Mavericks
The IR image from the missile head is displayed in the
WPN MFD page once the IR head has been uncaged
(and any dome covers removed). See weapon specific
documentation for Maverick deployment.

1.4.11. TGP page
The TGP page is accessed from the MENU page by
depressing OSB #19.
The TGP is active when either a LANTIRN or SNIPER
pod is carried on the chin pylon and powered up.
This is done on the SNSR PWR panel with the RIGHT
HDPT switch. The TGP needs to cool down after
powering up and the TGP page will display NOT TIMED
OUT until the pod is ready.
See the TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1 for more information
about the LANTIRN and SNIPER TGPs.
