The radar then switches to automatic tracking and the pilot can release the engagement lever.
The antenna remains focused on the hostile, the distance markers reappear in the video trace
and the altitude difference counter remains on.
The radial speed marker appears if the "LH" brightness is set correctly. This marker of the
thermometer type is in the form of a vertical segment, the length of which defines the range
from +1800 kt to -450 kt, interrupted from 0 to -150 kt. A small horizontal bar moves in
proportion to the relative fighter-target velocity (radial velocity) above zero for positive speeds
and below for negative speeds.
B.
Automatic engagement in “
TL
” and “BZ”
This engagement process is used in close combat.
The search area is between 400 and 7000 m.
NOTE: If the radar is locked and the pilot commands "TL" or "BZ", the radar remains locked but
the scale presented on the scope changes to 7 NM.

Automatic engagement
When the radar is engaged, the radial speed marker and its index appear on the scope.
Radar tracking data is supplied automatically to the interception computer.
The result of the calculation is presented in the sight in the form of a piloting order: it is a bar
movable in roll around its centre; the latter being mobile in pitch.
The intercept computer makes the aircraft perform an approach trajectory according to the
selected weapon to place it in the optimal firing position, and controls the illumination of lights
in the sight.
The orders are different depending on the weapon selected on the armament table.
In addition, limitations are introduced; exceeding these limitations is signalled to the pilot by a
fixed red light in the sight (±80° in roll, - 1 < n < 4, 8000 m in height); the orders of the interception
calculator are developed in such a way as not to reach these limitations.

Disengagements
A.
Voluntary disengagement
A lever at the bottom of the radar stick controls the radar disengagement.
B.
Inadvertent disengagement
At all times during automatic tracking, the position of the antenna and the distance are stored
in memory. During an untimely disengagement, the radar is therefore able to reengage
automatically by performing a distance search around the stored position. Only telemetry
returns to search; the directional tracking, the interception and firing range calculator, and the
sight remain in automatic tracking.
If after 3 seconds the radar is not reengaged, it returns to the previously selected scanning mode.
11-
(C + M or SW) R button
A.
When first briefly pressed
Allows the change of the radar to (C + M or SW) R without causing it to disengage.
The "lC" function is forced, even if the radar is in "V1".
