We will soon be introducing the AGM-62 ER/DL Walleye glide bomb for the Hornet. This large bomb that has a TV seeker in the nose that can be used to lock onto and guide on a target. The Walleye is generally used for large, stationary targets like buildings, bridges, etc. With the AWW-13 data link pod, video from the TV seeker can be transmitted to the cockpit and allow the pilot to view the video and steer the bomb.

A few notes:

When using the data link pod, the Walleye and the AWW-13 data link pod must be on the same channel. Walleyes will be on the channel that corresponds to the station they are carried on (either 2 or 8). So, you will need to make sure that you set the data link pod to the corrected weapon/station using the UFC function.

There is no in-range indication, but the higher and faster you fly, the greater the range. Optimal attack range is 30,000 feet.

A valid seeker lock is indicated by the WE indication on the HUD not having an X through it.

The Walleye is a very heavy weapon, so expect the need for a lot of roll trim after weapon release.
