[ARC5] [cca] AN/APR-9B and AN/APA-70C question

[zakariya.abu at yandex.com]

Hello Francesco,

Thank you for the reply. This is what we could have supposed.

The same situation probably applies to the NAVAIR 01-85WBA-1H manual, 
which elaborated the AN/ARC-80 hi-power HF data radio from the E-2B 
Hawkeye, which we discussed on the reflector last week. Unless, you have 
it and would be kind to share it with the rest of the CCA gang. ;)

73,

The manual is from ca. 1969/1970, and it was silent on the details on Shrike aiming and launching. However, it can be safely assumed that the Shrike targeting mode using the ADI was simply added later.
