Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 10 Approved: military@att.att.com From: "DAVID W. SHUEE" The F-4 was made to allow for Pave Spike. The Pave family look for laser return not radar. Some members of the family have the laser designator others do not. They will work with ground based lasers. They will work with lasers from other planes. They use a type of "laser IFF" to know who's laser to beam in on. The system works with on board nav systems to help find the targets. shuee@venus.iucf.indiana.edu
