Introduction
Weapons Control• Link between
aircraft and weapons
• Controls weapon release
Targeting Systems• Sensor & radars
used to locate target

Stores Management Systems (SMS)• Primary interface
between aircraft and its weapons (stores)
• Provides necessary power and control to safely release weapons
• Tornado:• Weapon Programming Unit (WPU)• Weapon Control Panel (WCP-1)• Pilots Control Panel (WCP-2)• Pylon Decoder Unit (AAMU)• Intervallgerber (IVG)• Gun Electronic Unit (GEU)

Fire Control Radar Lockheed Martin
• Searches, detects, locates, classifies, and prioritize multiple moving targets
• Target data (i.e., azimuth, elevation, range and velocity) automatically transferred to other platforms
• Used by Apache AH-64D Attack Helicopter
