F-14’s TV camera capability returns if USN selects Litening G5

Rafael and its partner Northrop Grumman are touting the ability of the latest Litening targeting pod to identify targets in air-to-air mode.

An executive from Rafael says the pod has been upgraded with better daylight and infrared visual capabilities.

Previously, the F-14 had the capability to identify aerial threats using its AAX-1 TV Camera Set mounted underneath the nose.
