[ARC5] APG-4?

Interesting.It is clearly not an APN-1, but a close cousin, because:

There is no connector on the left for the autopilot.
There is no Indicator connector.

What it looks like is a cut and paste job on an APN-1. The only output
indication is the relay contacts.

At a guess, I'd say it is a radio versiuon of what was used in the "Dam
Buster" missions.

It might well give and indication of "HIGH-OK-LOW" lights or even inhibit
or enable or even trigger a weapon release.

Best,
