Launch events sequence
- Gunner attaches CLU to the LTA
- Forward end cap removed
- Target acquired, either with optics or the Thermal Imaging (TI) sight
- Gunner activates missile seeker by pulling left trigger on CLU
- After approximately 9.5 secs the missile seeker cools down
- Flight software data is downloaded and missile becomes operational
- Once missile is operational infrared imagery from seeker is viewed by gunner through CLU
- Tracker software data downloaded from CLU to missile
- Gunner then positions track gates to specify the target portion of the seeker image
- Target maybe engaged either by DA or OTA
- On completion of target lock on gunner depresses CLU fire trigger
- Depression of trigger fires missile restraint pin squib to fire
- On successful completion of pre launch tests software issues command to fire launch motor
- Overpressure from LM opens aft membrane and propels missile forward
- Forward motion fractures forward seal and severs umbilical cable and gas line interfaces Missile continues along LTA until missile wings and fins clear the LTA
- Once clear of LTA and confirmation of correct launch, missile software issues command to ignite FM
- Warhead is armed following safe separation distance from operator determined by CESAF module
- Seeker and tracker software continues to track target to impact without intervention by gunner
