I take it you're referring to the picture with 4 Storm Shadows on the wing pylons? Wonder what else could fit into the bomb bay? Moving on, the sensor-to-shooter loop would be a case of "Nav, EO, target..." - pretty quick I imagine!

W123,

Unless you have a former AEO in the Tacco 2 seat - in which case the i/c chat would be: Nav, EO, Tacco 2 - 365 degrees at 9 and a half knots, target!

FWIW, the weapons architecture is based on the F18 Weapons Control System and the datbus and wiring means that a huge plethora of weapons could potentially be carried. It would be great if someone could find the photo referred to above?
