Using LANTIRN Targeting Pod

LANTIRN's targeting pod is integrated with the

aircraft's fire control and internal navigation systems,

providing multiple methods to acquire and destroy

targets.

You can target the LANTIRN with the LANT mode

Multifunction Display or using the EO mode on the

HUD. Pressing the CONTROL and HOME key at the

same time toggle the field of view between 6˚ x 6˚

wide angle and 1.7˚ x 1.7˚ narrow angle zoom. Slew

the LANTIRN’s targeting head using the Joystick

Hatswitch while holding down on the SHIFT Key.

Alternatively you can use the U key to toggle Slew Mode on and off. When the “S”

appears in the bottom of the screen, use the Keypad /, *, -, + to slew the Targeting Pod

left, right, up, and down respectively. Since the targeting crosshairs begin looking

straight down, you may have to slew it up if you want it to appear on your HUD. The

LANTIRN has a 180˚ slew, which means it can only rise to a little more than half way up

your HUD. For quick reorientation, press the HOME key to bring the LANTIRN Targeting

system to center position (30˚ down from the F-16’s attitude).
