GUNSIGHT TRACKING - HUD
Tracking a maneuvering target for a gun shot involves solving the complex geometry of g, gravity,
and range while flying your aircraft to the edge of the envelope. The HUD (Figure 14) will help you
achieve a gun firing solution by combining essential flight-performance and aiming information on the
pilot’s display unit (PDU) as you keep your eyes on the bandit. The submode identifier appears on
the right side of the display below the radar altitude and indicates the submode: lead angle comput-
ing (LAC) or real time gunsight (RTGS).
