I will answer your questions in order:

1. You would use the bore mode if you don't have a radar lock on the target, but you can see the target and it is fairly easy for you to just point and shoot the target.


2.You still have to uncage under normal operation, but there is an auto feature that will uncage by itself if you select it.

3. Yes

[Dear Sir,

First thank You for all Your answers to me.

I known that AIM-9/AIM-120 have two main modes of operation: BORE and SLAV and that the SLAV mode is default one.
The questions are the following:

1. When doe's the pilot of F-16 use the BORE mode of AIM-9/AIM-120?
2. In SLAV mode when the lock-on is obtained doe's the pilot have to command UNCAGE or it is done automatically? (see attached picture-virus free)
3. In Your previous answer You said: " With scan the seekerhead will have its own little searchpattern (can still be slaved to radar or boresight)...". Question:
Doe's the missile seeker diamond moves within ASE reticle in HUD when SCAN submode is selected?

Thank You in advance.

Best regards,
