The data link pod, Guided Weapon Control-Monitor Set AN/AWW-12A, is a major component part of the Walleye data link weapon system and provides two-way communication between a control aircraft and a guided weapon. The pod is designed for suspension from a standard Walleye-configured bomb rack, and for nonjettisonable carriage on either the centerline or inboard stores stations for a variety of high performance aircraft. Weapon control is accomplished from the cockpit via employment of a control unit and video monitor. The pod receives cockpit control signals and transmits them as encoded RF signals from the pod antenna to the weapon. Video signals from the weapon are received by the pod and processed for display on the cockpit video monitor. The data link pod will permit the control operator to monitor the flight of the weapon toward a target area and, if necessary, command the weapon to change its lock-on point after launch.
