A-G (Air-to-Ground)
This HUD mode is used for the AGM-45A Shrike and AGM-88A HARM anti-radiation
missiles. These missiles will detect the radar emissions of a ground SAM or AAA site and
lock on to its radar. Then they follow the radar beam in and destroy the site. These weapons
operate like the Maverick missile. They are fire-and-forget — once you’ve fired them, they
are self-guiding.
The difference between them is that the Shrike missile will only lock on to a continuous wave
radar whereas the HARM missile will lock onto either a pulse-doppler radar or a continuous
wave radar.
I-R (Infrared)
This HUD mode is used exclusively for the AGM-65D infrared-guided Maverick missile.
This missile is similar to the AGM-65B TV-guided missile except it uses infrared light to
track and lock on to its target. It operates identically to the E-O HUD mode weapons.
DUR (Durandal)
This HUD mode is used exclusively for the BLU-107/B Durandal anti-runway demolition
bomb. It operates exactly like the CCIP mode.
STRF (Strafe)
This HUD is only used for the M61A1 cannon when you are trying to shoot at ground targets.
It has a pipper that moves around the HUD. Its speed varies depending on your angle of
flight. Bullets from your gun will travel toward this pipper.
