All of the primary controls for the aircraft's weapon systems (weapons, sensors, and displays) are
located on the front cockpit throttles and stick, the rear cockpit throttles and stick (trainer configured
F/A-18F), or the rear cockpit hand controllers (missionized F/A-18F). This concept, hands on throttles
and stick (HOTAS), allows the aircrew to manipulate the weapon systems without removing the hands
from the aircraft's primary flight controls. Additionally, the canopy sill DISP switch(es) and the rear
cockpit grab handle switches provide secondary controls for dispensing expendables from the ALE-47
self-protect system.
Detailed descriptions of the functionality of the weapon systems controls are contained in the
Tactical Manual, F/A-18EA-TAC Series.
2.11.1 Stick Grip Switches/Controls (Front Cockpit). The weapon systems controls located on the
front cockpit stick grip are the A/A weapon select switch, the sensor control switch, the gun/missile
trigger, the A/G weapon release button, and the undesignate/NWS button. See figure 2-28.

2.11.1.1 A/A Weapon Select Switch. The A/A weapon select switch, located on the left side of the
stick grip, is spring loaded to the center/up position. The weapon select switch is used to select the
desired A/A weapon and can be used to enter A/A master mode. When the weapon select switch is
actuated while in NAV or A/G master mode, the A/A master mode is automatically entered, the RDR
ATTK format is automatically displayed on the RDDI, and the appropriate A/A weapon/radar format
is selected. Once in the A/A master mode, actuating the weapon select switch merely changes the
selected A/A weapon/radar format.
Center Neutral
Forward Selects AIM-7 and the corresponding radar format.
Down Selects AIM-9 and the corresponding radar format.
Aft Selects A/A GUN and the gun acquisition mode (GACG).
Inward Selects AIM-120 and the corresponding radar format.
Selection of an A/A missile initiates launch preparation of the priority missile, if more than one is
carried and brings up the corresponding radar format (e.g., scan volume presets). Subsequent selection
steps to the next available missile in the priority sequence.
2.11.1.2 Sensor Control Switch. The sensor control switch, commonly called the ²castle² switch, is
located on the top center of the stick grip and is spring loaded to the center/up position. The castle

switch is used to assign throttle designator controller (TDC) priority to a particular cockpit display or,
once air combat maneuvering (ACM) mode functionality is enabled, to select a particular ACM mode.
Center Neutral
Forward Assigns TDC priority to the HUD in NAV or A/G master mode. In A/A
master mode, selects the boresight acquisition mode (BST) and enables
ACM mode functionality.
Forward (twice

Selects/deselects EMCON.

forward (within 1
second)
Assigns TDC priority to the UFCD in all master modes. If the top level
CNI, a CNI sublevel, or a data entry format is displayed, selects the last
displayed DDI format.
Left Assigns the TDC to the LDDI in all master modes. With ACM mode
functionality enabled in A/A master mode, selects the wide acquisition
mode (WACQ).
Right Assigns the TDC to the RDDI in all master modes. With ACM mode
functionality enabled in A/A master mode, selects the automatic acquisition
mode (AACQ).
Aft Assigns the TDC to the MPCD in all master modes. With ACM mode
functionality enabled in A/A master mode, selects the vertical acquisition
mode (VACQ).
When the TDC is assigned to a display which cannot accept TDC priority, automatic format
initialization occurs, typically selecting the format which is most commonly used on that particular
display (e.g., RDR ATTK on the RDDI). With TDC assignment, certain displays (e.g., RDR ATTK,
FLIR, etc.) perform a specific action (e.g., track, break track, etc.) when the castle switch is
subsequently bumped toward that display.
2.11.1.3 Trigger. The gun/missile trigger, located on the front of the stick grip, has two detented
positions.
First
Detent
Initiates strike camera automatic mode operation (based on the selected A/G
weapon) and if CVRS is running, commands HUD recording.
Second
Detent
In A/A master mode, fires the gun or selected A/A missile. Activates AGI protection.
In A/G master mode, fires the gun or the laser, if either is selected. Commands
the HUD event marker.
2.11.1.4 A/G Weapon Release Button. The A/G weapon release button, commonly called the
²pickle², is located on the top center of the stick grip to the left of the castle switch. The pickle is used
