3.15 ARMAMENT SYSTEM
Description
The armament system comprises the weapons and associated elements in the aircraft. The
Mirage F1 is equipped with a wide variety of weaponry, even the earlier versions such as the F1-
CE. As an interceptor, the CE has multiple guided and unguided air to air weapons but, to fulfil a
secondary role as a ground attacker, it can also carry rockets and bombs.
The safety of the armament is ensured by a master arm switch (under guard) and by a landing
gear up check. The normal selection of weapons is done through the weapon selection panel,
which also sets the visor mode. When a button is pressed, other buttons are depressed (except
in the case of certain buttons) and the pressed buttons light up. The panel has the following
buttons and switchology:
•
Air to air cannon (CAN. A.): Sets the sight to cannon air to air mode.
•
Air to ground cannon and rockets (CAN. S. ROQ.): Sets the sight to cannon/rockets air to
ground mode and enables the firing of rockets in case they are being carried.
•
Wing bombs (BOMB VOIL.): Sets the sight in bombing mode and enables the launch of
the wing bombs. Can be selected in conjunction with the BOMB FUS button.
•
Fuselage bombs (BOMB FUS.): Sets the sight in bombing mode and enables the launch
of the fuselage bombs. When carrying a CLB4 pylon, the button light turns off when all
of the bombs carried in the pylon are released. Can be selected in conjunction with the
BOMB VOIL button.
•
Left or fuselage inner missile (MG. FUS.): Sets the sight to missile air to air mode and
enables the locking and firing of the inner left pylon or fuselage missile. In the case of
the R530 IR it, together with the master arm, commands the cooling of the missile
seeker. Can be selected in conjuction with MD. When both are pressed (and both left
and right missiles are present), the locked missile has launch priority. In case both
missiles are locked, if one is IR and the other is EM, the IR missile has priority. In case
both are locked and the same type, the left missile is fired first.
•
Right inner missile (MD.): Sets the sight to missile air to air mode and enables the locking
and firing of the inner right pylon missile. In the case of the R530 IR it, together with the
master arm, commands the cooling of the missile seeker. Can be selected in conjuction
with MG. FUS. The logic when both are pressed is described above.
•
Outer left missile (EXT. G.): Sets the sight to missile air to air mode and enables the
locking and firing of either of the outer missiles. When both outer missiles are present
and locked, it gives launch priority to the left missile.
•
Outer left missile (EXT. D.): Sets the sight to missile air to air mode and enables the
locking and firing of either of the outer missiles. When both outer missiles are present
and locked, it gives launch priority to the right missile.
